    In the strange and wondrous land of Eloria, Aric is no ordinary paladin. Known for his immense strength and boundless kindness, he roams the land alone, fulfilling his oath to help any creature in need-be they human, beast, or bug. Alongside him is Thorn, a loyal giant wolf with a mysterious past. Together, they face a world filled with peculiar creatures, like pigs that inflate with their own farts to float through the skies, and magical insects with healing powers. Aric's simple acts of kindness, from gathering flowers for old ladies to guiding massive creatures to safer homes, soon catch the attention of powers beyond his understanding. When a cloaked figure emerges from a portal, hinting at a darkness that only he can face, Aric is thrust into a destiny he never expected. As he confronts the challenges ahead, he must balance his fierce combat skills with his compassionate heart to protect the realm from forces unknown.

    ONC2025 Rafe Daring is not a hero known for his bravery. He is a farm boy known for being stubborn, cheeky, and doing things haphazardly, which always leads to chaos. When he flees town on his motorcycle, chased by the boy he'd turned into his nemesis, Rafe veers from safety to avoid his enemy. He ventures onto a strangled path through the forbidden forest, a vast stretch of access-restricted nature reserve bordering his family's farm. As with most of his decisions, this one also leads to disaster. Soon, Rafe finds himself injured and lost at the bottom of a steep slope, trying to find his way home. When he stumbles into a briar vine-covered wall, he decides that his only way home might be through what appears to be an archway clogged by vines. However, he is unprepared for what waits for him when he breaks through the thick, thorny briar vines. Finding himself in an increasingly dangerous and confusing situation, he realises that this time, he'd outdone himself in the art of making extraordinarily bad decisions. He has one question that stands out above all his other questions: "Who would be dumb enough to give an idiot like me superpowers?!" TW: Some chapters might have upsetting themes; reader discretion is advised. ONC2025 Prompt 1: You stumble upon a mysterious door made entirely of briars and thorns. As you step through, you're granted extraordinary powers. But with great power comes great responsibility - it's now your duty to save the crumbling kingdom. Word Count (WP Web) = 39 269

    Thousands of universes paralleled each other in their existences. Some had beautiful, inspiring happenstances where heros won and people learned to be better than they originally had been. Stories could be written in those universes about the people that defeated tyranny or the people that found love in the midst of darkness or the people who became warriors. But there were some universes with nothing to brag over. Some were average, with nothing great that would ever happen. But among one of those simple, average universes, was one with only one story. It wasn't a normal story, for it was about bad people, people who never learned to be better. But those people did somethng that outshone everything every other universe had accomplished, outshone them so far it was like comparing the sun to a flashlight. Still, until this day, that story hasn't been told. So I'm going to write it down for you.

This is considerably more normal. Because really, why would you want someone who actually knows what they're doing to save the planet?

    In the shadow of the Empire's ruthless conquest, Kael Korran survives by scavenging scraps from war-torn planets like Ryvane. A drifter with no ties and even fewer aspirations, Kael's life changes the day he discovers an ancient Jedi lightsaber buried in the wreckage of a forgotten battle. The weapon awakens something inside him-an undeniable connection to the Force, the very power the Empire has tried to extinguish. Haunted by the Inquisitorius, Imperial agents sworn to hunt down Force-sensitive individuals, Kael finds himself on the run with a damaged astromech droid, Vox. Together, they stumble upon a hidden star map leading to a mysterious planet long erased from the galaxy's records. The map speaks of a lost sanctuary, a place tied to the Jedi and the secrets of the Force itself. But Kael is untrained, unprepared, and hunted at every turn. As he confronts the Inquisitors, his own doubts, and the lure of the Force's darker temptations, Kael must decide what kind of legacy he will leave in a galaxy desperate for hope. Echoes of the Force is a gripping tale of survival, self-discovery, and the enduring battle between light and dark. Perfect for fans of Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Rebels, this original story explores uncharted corners of the galaxy and the untold struggles of those who dare to rise against the Empire. _______________________________________________________________________ +13 #violence #difficult to understand
