Away with the Fairies by SilviaKrpatova

☆ONC 2021 Honourable Mention and Shortlister☆ ☆One of Round Two Top Five Winners☆ ☆Multiple times featured☆ ☆☆☆ ☆This is a story about H. Ch. Andersen, about how he became a writer and why most of his stories are so sad and melancholic. Also, about why he never found real love... Yes, that's what I read about him (among other things)-- he kept falling in love with unatteinable women. My story portrays Hans Christian Andersen as a young, fourteen-years-old boy. It's set in Odense, Denmark, in the late summer of 1818-- soon after Hans' mother, a poor washerwoman, remarried (two years after his father's death) and shortly before he was sent to a school for poor children where he had to support himself. Where he became, to be able to afford his schooling, first a weaver's, then a tailor's apprentice, a singer, an actor and finally, once his excellent soprano voice changed, a writer. Hans and Louise, his (fictional) step-sister, seek refuge from a summer storm in an old shed. There, they meet Rosalind, a lost Flower Fairy. When they decide to help her find the Butterfly Fairy boy she loves and intends to marry, she takes them into a fantastical world of Terra Sonalis, her home. A land of dreams populated by fairies, goblins, elves, mermaids, talking animals... All those mysterious creatures that fuelled Andersen's imagination for the rest of his life. ☆☆☆

Mother once told me before she was banished, "You have to be strong, My Love. You will face great challenges but you have be brave and never truly forget what is important. You may have to make sacrifices but above all cherish your brother, he is only trying to look out for you." At that time she said those words, I didn't understand what she was talking about. But now I realized the lore of everything I taught and knew is not at all what it seems... It wasn't until after everything happened that I found and saved a human that I soon realized what was happening. But that human, Seivon Rivers, I promised to find again, but unfortunately I never saw him again... Yet he stole an important part of me that day I saved him.

The prince appears before her, in its all human form saying she needs to come with him to his world or he will eat her alive.

**THE FIRST BOOK** Once upon a time... That is how many stories begin. However, this is a different kind of tale. It is not a story of a princess rescued by a prince. This is his story. The story of Hate... This lovely land has been ravaged by a cruel demon, and its people now live under the shadow of tyranny. There is no one who can defeat him, no one for him to fear. Except for her... But it was not always this way. There was a time of prosperity and peace. The joy that once filled this land may never return. Those days are now merely memories. All that remains is hope. Hope that a chosen one will rise and liberate them from this evil. However, he is aware of her destiny. He seeks what was taken from him... He desires her... Hate will not rest until she is deatg. The day will come when she must decide how she will live. Will she flee or become a hero? For she alone holds the power to save everyone. She knows the story is true. If she does not survive, the beast will kill everyone. She must be brave. He will find her, especially there where she does not want to be found. One reckless decision could result in catastrophic consequences. The fate of the entire realm rests upon her shoulders. Unforeseen events, mythical creatures, magic, epic battles, tragic demises, fairy tale romance, and a perilous journey. Will he find her... or will she be able to save us before it is too late?

Loving of Stories by Nanachi8

This is going to be a one-shot book!!! Or something close to it. I will create stories from ideas that people have voiced either on this site, Youtube, Quotev, Ao3, and some other sites!!! If people like the story enough and if I create more than five parts to it in this book then I will create a story for it or if someone wants to adopt it! Please make sure to give credit to me if you do decide to adopt as I will put the credit to who gave me the idea in the very beginning of the one-shot if I got the idea from someone. Anyways, hope you enjoy this book of stories full of ideas!!!!
