Maine has always been a strange girl. Instead of learning to cook and sow like the other girls in the orphanage, she taught herself to hunt, track, and set traps. The only thing Maine has from her father is a simple hunting knife, which she keeps sheathed in her belt. Maine is known thought her home town of Stonebrook by her fiery red hair and cool blue eyes. She's beat almost every boy in town at hand-to-hand combat and archery. Maine stands at the height of 5"4 and is lightweight. Even though she may not look like it, but she can stand her ground in a fight. Instead of spending the days in the city, she wakes up at the first dawn's light and spends all day in the woods. She refused to wear dresses and skirts. She preferred to stay in the woods instead of around people. The woods was more of a home to her than the orphanage. But she is more than she has been taught to be. Maine is destined to be something great.

"Please do not see me as some little girl who needs saving from dragons. My dragons are what is keeping me alive, keeping me fighting. I will not slay my dragons, I will ride them."

Magic Land: The Lost Princess (On Hold Until January) by Kadenereadaholic
8 parts Ongoing
Growing up, Imogene Baker knew that she was different from everyone else, but little did she know how different she really was. I grew up as an orphan, so I didn't know what it was like to have a real family. She was found on the streets as a baby, and since then, she'd been bounced around from foster home to foster home. She didn't know anything about her real family or who she was. Now, twenty-five years later, Imogene lives in a small apartment and works at a local coffee shop. She didn't really have any friends growing up. She has been an outsider all her life. Well, that was before she met Aaron Dawkins and knew what it was like to have a real friend. Aaron was kind to her and was always there for her when she needed him. He made her feel special, and she couldn't help but care deeply for him. He even promised her that he would help her find out her true identity. But then something weird happened that took her by surprise. She found out that she was no ordinary girl. She had unimaginable powers that she didn't know she possessed. Magical powers that she didn't even know existed. With these newly awakened powers, she was scared and confused more than ever. On her quest of discovering who she is, she met a guy who told her he knew about her parents. He seemed to know everything about her, and she was grateful to finally find out what was missing in her life. It didn't take long for Imogene to get close to this stranger. He pulled her in with his enchanting charm and looks and desperate for answers. She put her trust in him. However, deep down, doubts were lurking in Imogene's mind; doubts about her past and her supposed future. Even though this stranger gave her all the answers, could she really trust him? Was she really who he said she was? Finding out the truth will be the easy part, but will she figure it out soon enough to save her kingdom from the evil that wants to take it over? And will she be able to save her own heart in the process?

*COMPLETE* There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi. Highest ranking: #66 in Fantasy 2/3/2018 Hi everyone! Thanks a ton for taking the time to read Paragon. I'm so excited to share it with you, and to hear your feedback, theories, and insight. It's just me, myself, and I on this one (no beta) so if you catch any errors or inconsistencies, give me a shout--it will be much appreciated. The plan is to release a new chapter each weekend until we reach the end. - Azi Note: violence, sexual themes, and some coarse language will appear in Paragon.
