"Thou shalt not surrender to those of injustice."
Being named "Justice" isn't as easy as one would have thought especially if you specialize in the Art of War. However, that's how things seem to be for Astraea Twine, Commander in Chief of the armies of Ecarlious.
Since long, Astraea has taken a blind eye to the pull of guilt. After all, doesn't the greater good always win? Yet, Astraea can't help but doubt the crown's power... and intentions.
For far too long, too many wrongdoings have been done, staining her hands bloody. Too many lives taken for the mere greed of the crown.
Slowly regrets began to devour her, piece by piece... Those innocent lives slaughtered. Children and elders both, burn. Life to ash. Warm to cold. Simple as that.
As Astraea begins to doubt the lines of friends and foes, a price comes about. The crowd hears the news...of her betrayal.
Now no longer the once respected Commander, but rather the treacherous traitor. No longer does she serve injustice, no longer will she cower in the presence of the crown. Together with many newly founded allies, her conquest to a better world begins.
Perhaps, even love is possible, the one thing that could ruin all. Yet so strong, enough to unite us all.
In the world of where magic and power rules all, one cannot hope but to surrender.
And thus forward will the dance of life and death begin.
Long live the Commander of Legends.

Threads of Fate
The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe.

The Fall of The Veil
"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*Complete

One Sin
Nobody knows his real name. The world knows him only as Asra - and the world is afraid. In a Republic built not on crowns but on money, fear, and seven unseen families who own everything from the armies to the gods, Asra is the thing they never planned for: someone with nothing left to lose. For generations, Aurevia has lived in the shadow of their greed - its mines stripped, its people silenced, its crown reduced to a puppet's ornament. The world calls it peace. Those who remember call it slavery with better manners. Now Asra is dismantling it all. Piece by piece. Leaking secrets, igniting markets, turning the power of the seven against themselves. The world calls him a terrorist. But those who've lost everything see him as something else entirely: a reckoning long overdue. Far from the eyes of governments and kings - in lecture halls and back alleys, in midnight boardrooms and burning cities - a war is being rewritten. Not for freedom. For vengeance. Because in a world built on sin, it only takes one to bring it all down.

Born of Flames
Asterria has entered an era of renewal following the battle at Durga's How, but its sense of peace cannot be shared by those who heard the dire warning given by the gods.

But their people have other priorities which threaten to upend their lives once more.

Aftermath | Part III
"Peace was never the promise-it was the pause." PART III | The war is over. The world has thrived in the quiet solitude of peace. What survived was scattered, scarred, and aching, yet from the wreckage rose something unexpected: a fragile kind of beauty. Cities rebuilt from ash. Lives stitched back together with silence and hope. It isn't the world they lost, but it's something-something someone had to sacrifice everything for, just to make it hold. And in that stillness, in the soft breath of what was given up, people have learned to live again. To love. To hope. But beneath that silence, something always stirs- a shadow of what was, a reckoning long delayed, a spark that never truly went out. As old ghosts rise and the cost of survival begins to surface, the final threads of destiny pull tight. This is no new beginning. It's the last stand of what remains. This is survival. This is defiance. This is aftermath.![Wayward [The Princess' jewellery box]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/322469449-256-k70703.jpg)
