Esther by reychellemoira

Lilith Between Flesh And Spirit by AnnamitaMuscaria

21x FEATURED | ONC 2024'S SHORTLISTER, AMBASSADOR'S PICK AND HONOURABLE MENTION While fighting an Archons' system, which was designed to kill them one life after another, a demon goddess and a young woman will eventually reclaim their true identities. *** Lilith is the only woman, conceived by the Archons leader, Yaldabaoth. She is also the first one to say no to him. The first to have eaten from the tree of knowledge and evil. But now, she is just a tamed goddess into the submission of fearing her own destiny within his material world until she crosses the path of Norea. Her brother Seth saved her in extremis from death so she could reach out to Lilith. Only she-the first woman-could protect Norea from the Archons. And hell hath no fury like a woman scorned when they both teamed up to take down Yaldabaoth. *** CW: Loosely inspired by the Bible's views by the Gnostics, this story is in no way intended to offend anyone's religious beliefs. It is also a reimagining that is written with themes suitable for a mature audience. See foreword for detailed trigger warning.

It all started thousands of years ago... Three tribes found an island. A safe haven from their enemies and worries. Staying on the island was meant to be temporary. Until a better solution could be found. But Mother Nature gifted them land to grow crops, trees from which houses were built and animals to hunt. The people decided to stay... Now, ages later, three kingdoms stand. All powerful, different and hungry for more. Aggeris, Veatus and Collis. But what happens when the values which helped build these great civilizations are ignored? Not seen as important or attention worthy? Will they fall or will someone finally take action? To lead a group of people is easy, to lead a kingdom - is intricate and complex. Only diligent, better, yet persistent can become the top of the royalty, ensuring their place in the history books.
