adventure assassin dark dwarves elf fantasy intrigue magic

Ammryn called upon the magic innate to his kin, blue fires danced in his eyes and a bright light blinded the foul creature for just a second, but that was all Ammryn needed. A stream of black blood flowed out of its neck, and it hit the ground with a thunk. The remaining orc found what he was looking for and held up a sword that glowed light blue. Ammryn's hair stood up as he felt the disturbance of magic through his body.

The Sword of Stone - Sworn Honours by Ewanmackenobi99

"I am the sword of the crown, the shield of the realm and protector of the people. Without doubt, without failure, I shall guard the innocents against the malignant forces of magic. I give my heart and soul to the righteous and pray for the Father's mercy, for I shall show none." Sir Rolan Coytak, a paladin of the Holy Paladin Order of Farikesh, a seasoned and grizzled knight of twenty long years, is sent on a mission to the lands south of the Kingdom of Harliya, Amberfall, to investigate the rumours of blood magic. Travelling with his clumsy and naive squire, Rolan is greeted by many people, many with grace and dignity, others with suspicion. He is told by the Baron of these lands, the young Simon Greycrow, about bandits in ruins deep within the Redwoods of Amber that may hold what he seeks. But as Rolan travels these dark, beautiful, eerie forests, he learns that magic is not the only problem these lands have. Facing a great challenge as he uncovers the truth of the rumours, Rolan must make a decision that may haunt him for the rest of his life.

Hidden Magic by MeriGreenleaf

A young elf takes up the task of hunting down a band of orc trespassers with the help of her centaur brother. When she stumbles into a pitfall, Meren finds an object: an amulet that gives strange new powers. Little does she know that an increasingly desperate young wizard is looking for the very same amulet and that their paths are destined to crisscross in a weave of chaotic magic... (This is a novella I wrote in '11 and it's one of my very first stories. My writing style has changed a lot since then, but I'm sharing this with some minor editing because it's the story that gave me a love of writing and for that it'll always hold a special place in my heart. This is unconnected to the other stories I'll share to my Wattpad and takes place in a different fantasy world.)

Twisting Every Way by neverreallyhere

When Emya's village is invaded by two magic-wielding barbarians that proclaim themselves kings, the last thing she expects is to be taken in as their mage apprentice.

Yet the kings alleviate her fears and show her potential she never imagined. Her future was bright and formidable as the fire she twists in her fingers, except for the strange, sickly young man the kings hold captive. His presence is as a shadow, but Emya is determined to ignore him, choosing to believe in the kings' extraordinary plans for her. Yet, as a strange enchantment falls over the village Emya can't help but wonder what the king's true intentions are.

Affectionate Whispers | under construction ⚠️ by brisbookcase

𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧-𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 - Orianne was a lover girl, whom some considered a hopeless romantic, but she wouldn't dare let the opinions of others knock her off her pivot. She was a young woman who knew what she wanted, and to her, there was nothing wrong with that. She desired the husband, children, dates, random gifts, trips, family outings, and so on. Some would say the reason she can't keep a man is because her standards are high. Which is a ridiculous take. Yes, her standards may be "high," but that's because her father set the tone. She knows what she wants and how she's supposed to be treated, and if you're not giving her that, then you have to go. Out of the few men she has dealt with, she lets them know beforehand what she wants, and it's not her fault that they choose to lead her on under the impression that they wanted the same thing. Another reason men tend to leave her alone is because she's a woman of status, a woman of her word, and a woman about her business. She handles her own and has her own which tends to bruise a man's ego. When asked what she brings to the table, she has a solid answer. She doesn't just bring herself or her body-that's the bonus-she brings communication, trust, comprehension, stability, submission, commitment, and so on. The main question of the matter is, how will Miss. Orianne react when a 19 year old wants to sweep her off her feet and give her everything she wants and more? 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐲 | 𝐦𝐞, @𝐫𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢 ᝰ.ᐟ

Tansy of the Wilds by AMLKoski

Xer'Tal the Bloodthirsty had spent years as a warrior and now works as personal guard. With a world at war, his skills are in high demand however being an orc meant he was jaded to the world. People treated him poorly, gave him no trust, and he didn't trust a single person, even those who paid him. So he wasn't expecting someone like Tansy Wilde. Tansy Wilde was sent out from her family's lumberyard to head to the Kelpfar mountains to negotiate with the kobolds for a trade agreement when a bandit waylaid her plans. She escaped and fled to the nearest town where she asked after someone she could hire to protect her and she was sent straight to Xer'tal. Tansy knew orcs, she saw them occasionally at the lumberyard but there was something about this orc that has her breath catching in her chest. She paid him coin and asked him if he could escort her to Kelpfar and then back to her family's lumberyard. The coin was more than good so he agreed. The two start off but the stoic and cynical Xer'tal has no clue what to do with the bubbly and sweet Tansy as they make their way into the wilds. He finds the lines between job and employer he has always held firm waver under the sunshine of one singular, talkative woman as, for the first time in a long time, he is treated like a person that matters and not just as an orc. And Tansy finds her heart opening up more and more as the orc lets her truly be herself for the first time in years. Worlds and cultures collide as these two grow closer and only time will tell if love will bloom as they traverse the wilds between them.

Abducted [W&W Book 3] by NelleIvy

Ildri is a simple, loquacious girl. She's not looking for adventure and excitement, she is perfectly happy working in the kitchen at her beloved Wildwood and falling in love with her handsome stablehand Saul. She doesn't much like leaving the castle, especially at night, but she's willing to go to get lengths to please her beloved. However, instead of finding a romantic encounter, Ildri finds Saul in a deadly fight with a terrifying foe. Saul is killed and Ildri is swept away from everything that brings her comfort. Final book in my completed Wizards and Warlocks Trilogy. Ildri's book could probably be read alone, but I recommend you start at the beginning.

Orin by SmlAlwaysOriginal

Orcs were a warring race. They were a tough race. They were the kind who thought that a male loving a male was lowering himself and weak. Snow Elves were beautiful with pale skin and silvery hair. They were also arrogant with any race outside their own. While most races were conservative with their lovers. Elves were free about loving, inside their own race but didn't love outside it. What happens when an Orc Warrior falls for an Elven Prince? Excerpt: "Damn Elves. Think their are better than everyone. I could break one in half with two fingers." my brother says. We watched the long procession of them winding through the city. These were ice elves. They were tall, lithe, silver hair and pale skin. Eyes every shade of blue that could exist. Clothes of white that made their skin look shimmery. Unlike my brother I thought they were beautiful. Something that none of my race would like me thinking. Being an Orc I was raised from the time I could walk with a sword in my hand. Our natural desires made us great warriors. I had been a soldier since I was sixteen years old. Orcs weren't known for romantic notions such as beauty, unless it was to describe an ax throw. We ate drank and breathed war. With the race wars centuries past we all mingled freely with each other but there was still those that didn't like each other. My brother was one who thought that humans were decent and Elves were arrogant. Though most any Orc didn't like them because they had a tendency to insult us the first chance they got. "Someday one's going to hear you and going to shove their slim little dagger up your nose." I tell him. He laughs and scratches at his chin.

The Crimson To My Snow by pinea-pples

When all you've ever wanted, All you've ever fought for, Becomes the scythe to your bleeding core... The curse hiding under the tenderness of a touch, The softness of a voice... of a loving gaze, An easing warmth to your freezing heart, It ruins you, It burns your insides, And worse... you can feel it slowly killing you, Ever so sweetly... Intoxicating. Driving you to your end, Like a moth to a flame. You know it's danger, yet you still dive deeper into what's to be your grave. Afraid to answer your own mind, Scared to face your own logic, So you helplessly ask yourself, How can a heart still long for its destroyer? How can cold snow yearn for the burning heat of crimson? ♡ blood and snow : Despite being named 'Eineige' after snow, She's an uncontrollable fire, red and furious, A messed up mind, Beautifully broken... guided by her blades, always hidden under the past she seeks to reveal... she was there to end him... He was there to enlighten her... Him... despite being named 'Aithne' after fire, He was a flicker of snow... dragged into her heat, Blinded by her burning light, He knew she'd be the death of him all along, yet he couldn't help but drown deeper into her flames, More and more, addicted to the sweet pain she injected through him, growing obsessed beyond limits, She was effortlessly intoxicating... and he was helplessly drugged. They are Aithne and Eineige, a flame and a snow flake... Adam's ale... an agni, A Crimson to snow.
