Runes Stories

Magic, Human law and Religion are the three pillars of a realm that seem to be breaking at its seams. Cael is an assassin trained and serving the county court, forged in the brutal streets of Pendletown, he survives by being faster, sharper, and more ruthless than anyone who stands against him. He's never failed a mission. He doesn't intend to start now. Clare is his friend who came from Chestra where they were both born and her purpose there is to teach him as much as possible about magic and explain about the Bane, an evil imprisoned but slowly breaking free. Armed with nothing other than his assassin skills, Cael must fight to keep him imprisoned. But when the witches of Chestra begin hunting him, Cael's skills mean nothing. They're faster than any human. They speak with the dead, who whisper his every move. Their leader, an ancient necromancer named Maggie, wants nothing good for him.

The world has always known Seren by one name: Ruin. Born to a mother history remembers as a monster, Seren has spent her life hidden, studying magic in secret, desperate to understand the unstable power growing inside her. Every surge of her abilities brings storms, destruction - and further proof to the world that she is destined to follow her mother's path. Rowan, a truth-seer bound to an ancient order, is ordered to watch her - and, if necessary, stop her. But Rowan's gift reveals something impossible: Seren is not a destroyer. She is the key to a truth powerful enough to shatter everything the world believes about magic itself. As a conspiracy centuries in the making begins to unravel, Seren and Rowan must navigate betrayal, fear, and a fragile bond neither of them expected. Because sometimes, the greatest ruin is not the storm itself... but the lies that created it.

When we last met our hero, it was in the depths of Helheim, having been trapped for seven long years and forced to brave the cold in a game designed to be unwinnable. Now? He has won, anyway, and been granted the reward for victory - ascension. But the life of an einherjar in Asgard is one of constant battle, and this could not be more true for Leif Laufwyn. After all, "Hel is other people", or something like that. Facing off against the enemies of Asgard and fending off the dagger-like stares of his new peers, Leif unwillingly fights a battle on two fronts - but even now, it appears fate is not quite done with him yet.

Far beneath the desert sands, buried under the weight of stone, a stele of golden-hued metal slept. On one polished face was a map of an alien sky: constellations displaced, their connections tangled, tiny lights smoldering in neat rows. Some had already gone dark. Another point trembled, flickered - and vanished. A ripple spread across the heavens, like water struck by a thrown stone. The world's familiar pattern cracked. Her own kin betrayed her family. Her home was reduced to ashes. Now her path lies within the harsh lands of stone and wind - where hard labor and the study of runes forge greatness. A narrow trail hisses beneath her feet, while a thin thread of those gathering sacrifices for a dark ritual trails behind her. In a world where the Church and the gods play their own game, she is not one of prophecy's chosen. She is the one they told, "There is no future." To break the circle that has always closed around the defiant, she will have to carve her way through the prayers of others and pay a price dearer than gold. A dark fantasy about family, survival, and choice. Slavic motifs, dwarves, runes, cultivation, and a harsh road to power.

𝙍𝙞𝙨𝙚...𝙤𝙧 𝙗𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧. - Oasis Awards 3rd place - Upon nearing adulthood, citizens of Aegia face the choice to risk it all. For some, it's all about the glory, and living up to their family name. For others, it's an offer of security, of knowing where their next meal is coming from. And so they make the choice to enroll in one of several Academies, where they are taught the ancient texts, the history of the realm, and the sacred runes handed down by the gods themselves. At the end of their time there, they face a series of tests to be sorted into two castes: 𝗔𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀, the elite rulers, advance to the top positions in their field, deciding what is built, what is destroyed, where taxes go...and who lives and dies. And 𝘀𝘆𝗹𝗿𝗮, the servants bound by magic to their Aelaris. Seen as little more than an appendage and status symbol, they spend their days following their Aelaris and living for their demands, completely devoted and content in their role. The bond is considered sacred. It prevents the Aelaris from ever harming their sylra while ensuring the sylra is happy to serve. It is the Rite of Ascension that determines who belongs where, a process that measures worth and potential, through the power of the gods. Rian Argon-son has always believed he was destined to join the ranks of the Aelaris, working tirelessly to prove himself worthy. Meanwhile his nemesis Ileana, born into wealth and privilege, has always seen herself as a true heir to power. Their rivalry has simmered in all their time at the Academy, and now the final testing is upon them. They may be both top of their class, but ultimately the Rite of Ascension will decide everything. Both have prepared. Neither are ready. Cover by @Merlyn_Fereira

Sir Timothy's Memoirs. An autobiography. The story of a remarkable life and a fatal belief that gravity applies only to other people. Sir Timothy John Paul Platt Monday, 4th Baronet of Carrickfergus narrates his own deeds. His style is elegantly whimsical, reminiscent of an erudite British gentleman's memoir - polished prose with wit, warmth, eccentric insight, and Anglican grace. The Memoirs chronicle his birth, upbringing, education, passions (philology, runes, philately, cricket, ghosts, Arthurian lore, Anglican faith), his Cumbrian life, and his peculiar cosmology and worldview. His flat-earth beliefs are treated seriously yet with charm - a curious conviction of a learned but idiosyncratic baronet. © All Rights Reserved

"Between the Shadows and the Stars" follows Prim, a young woman on a journey of self-discovery, as she navigates the complexities of magic, destiny, and the tangled emotions of an intense, blossoming relationship. When mysterious runes begin to appear on her skin, Prim is thrust into a world of ancient secrets, hidden powers, and a deeper connection to the universe than she ever imagined. As she delves into the enigmatic world of Divination, she finds herself drawn to Sebastian, a confident and unpredictable Slytherin with a hidden vulnerability of his own. Together, they explore the boundaries of trust, attraction, and fear, facing the shadows of their pasts and the uncertainty of their futures. Their connection grows undeniable, but as their relationship deepens, so does the weight of their choices, and the pull between them becomes harder to resist. Set in the hauntingly beautiful corridors of Hogwarts and the secretive Undercroft, "Between the Shadows and the Stars" is a journey of passion, magic, and self-discovery. As Prim faces both the challenges of unlocking her own potential and navigating her evolving feelings for Sebastian, she must confront her fears and embrace the unknown. The choices they make will shape their destinies, but the question remains: can they find the courage to step into the light, or will the shadows consume them both? In a world where magic is both a gift and a curse, Prim must decide what she's willing to sacrifice for love, power, and the future she never expected. ***Please note that this story is based on an older Hogwarts, first years not being 11 years old, but they are 19 years old because of some mature content it would be not be right to write about mature natures and experiences as if the characters were literal children. Think of Hogwarts as a University, where characters go through muggle school traditions up to their 18 years old and they can choose to go to Hogwarts to become and learn to be wizards and witches.

Hey, fellow Shadowhunter fans! I wrote a story related to what I think would've happened to Clace if there would've been a season 4. Now, I do want to also take Malec and Sizzy along with it and continue the story after season 3 ended. This is how I had hoped the next season would've been like! Be aware: it does contain some spoilers of earlier seasons and it's not an actual season 4. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!
