Olden-days Stories

Eddie, Carly, and Theo had always felt the absence of their estranged father, a gap that lingered in every unanswered question about their past. But nothing could have prepared them for the day they met the man with the offer. He was tall, shadowed, and unsettling-his voice smooth, his eyes knowing. Yet his proposition was irresistible. He handed them a strange, weathered book, its pages shimmering faintly, each chapter devoted to a different time period. "This," he said, "will guide you." Before they could refuse, he led them to his dimly lit house, where time itself seemed to bend. Inside, they met the others: Natasha, a calm yet powerful figure who could move objects with her mind, bend energy, and take to the skies; Keturah, a wise and surprisingly eloquent tiger; and Prince Rutherford, a knight whose courage seemed carved from legend. Alongside them stood Garry the troll, whose immense brute strength was matched only by his unexpectedly sharp wit; Ludicure, a wise old yet powerful elf with a superhuman intellect and the rare ability to read minds; Midnight, a dillegent and brave unicorn with the ability to cast many difficult spells, and Frances, an ordinary mom, whose presence hinted that courage did not always come wrapped in legend. All had been summoned for the same purpose. Across five distant eras-Ancient Egypt, the Renaissance, Ancient India, the Aztec Empire, and the Viking age-lay five gems. These gems, once gathered, would complete the Crown of Pearls, an ancient artifact with power to stop the Dark Lord: a rogue time traveler determined to rewrite history by erasing pivotal events. The group would leap through time, facing peril, uncovering secrets, and forging fragile trust. For Eddie, Carly, and Theo, the journey was more than an adventure-it was a chance to understand courage. Because in a battle where time itself is unraveling, the past is not just something to visit.

Strange, people dismissed them. What happens when a king from the neighboring kingdom becomes suspicious of her highness? I beg your pardon, you'll have to read to find out!

Paul's father is so sick he can't work, so Paul must take over as a newsboy to provide for the family of two. Meanwhile, a girl must take care of her own father. But when the worst comes--the day they've both been dreading--they'll have to take over responsibility to find the right thing to do.

In the year 1899, a young boy wanders into an unattended exhibit and finds a rather enticing attraction. An attraction with gorgeous scales, beautiful eyes, and a pretty tail. This was inspired by a beautiful piece of artwork on DeviantArt by the amazing Phillip "Jolly Jack" M. Jackson! I found the drawing really cute and couldn't resist writing something about it, so here we are. Also, fun fact: Jack made the drawing for his mom, and I think that's pretty sweet. If you wanna browse it for yourself, here it is.
