Field Marshal Garnet Joseph Wolseley, 1st Viscount Wolseley , KP , GCB , OM, GCMG , VD , PC (4 June 1833 – 25 March 1913) was an Anglo-Irish officer in the British Army. He served in Burma , the Crimean War , the Indian Mutiny ,
China, Canada , and widely throughout Africa — including his Ashanti campaign (1873–1874) and the Nile Expedition against Mahdist Sudan in 1884-85. He served as Commander-in-Chief of the Forces from 1895 to 1900. His reputation
for efficiency led to the late 19th-century English phrase "everything's all Sir Garnet", meaning "all is in order."

Weapon 86 ✔️
"Is there a reason why you have chosen my unit for this particular mission, Colonel?" Thomas asked. "Do I need a reason?" "No, sir, I..." Thomas trailed off and a still silence fell between them before he spoke up again. "You're troubled, sir... I can sense it. There's something about this mission that you're not telling me." Kyden turned around, his steely grey eyes locked with the blue ones of his curious protege. "It is because of that intuition alone that I chose you for this mission..." Kyden approached Thomas and lowered his head. Placing a hand on his shoulder he spoke softly. "You will see things that you won't be able to comprehend. Have questions that don't have answers. Be forced to make decisions that will risk the lives of your unit... if you don't decide carefully..." "Yes, sir." Thomas adjusted the cap on his head and headed towards the door. "I will prepare my unit immediately." "Captain Thomas." Thomas looked back at Colonel Kyden. "People fear what they do not understand. Fear leads to hate. Hate leads to violence. Do not give into fear. Use that brilliant mind of yours to see past the surface." Thomas considered his Colonel's curious words and nodded respectfully before exiting. ~ "Captain, if I may," Merrick said suddenly snapping Thomas out of his thoughts. "Were you aware that Weapon 86... was a woman?" *** This is a fantasy/science-fiction story set in a post-apocalyptic world.

Can't Be Tamed:Glaze AU
Once every year, a train runs through the mountains that separated my home, O'Khasis, from the rest of the world. On the train, there is a normal crew, any crew you can think of with multiple passengers. The train takes a two hour trip to the nearest station to where the workers and people there find the train to be completely empty of it's passengers but, the crew remains. Dazed and lost in the whole situation. This has been going ever since November of 1817. At this point, people have honestly given up on solving the mystery of what happens on that train on that faithful trip. Except for me. ••• #1 in Glaze->July 4th, 2019Complete

The Colonial Heart ✓ (Editing)
"Britain, 1840s Prince William Harry Harrington, the eldest son of the British monarch, stood atop the grand balcony of Windsor Castle, gazing out at the sprawling gardens below. His thoughts, however, were far from the lush greenery and vibrant flowers. They were consumed by the weight of his responsibilities, the expectations placed upon him, and the looming prospect of marriage to the Lady Katherine, a union that would secure the future of the British Empire. But little did William know, the fate of the empire was about to become entwined with that of a young woman from a far-off land, a woman whose life was about to be forever changed by the tides of colonialism. In the Gold Coast of Africa, a region that would soon become known as Ghana, the British were making their move, staking their claim on the rich resources and strategic ports. The drums of war were beating, and the lives of Prince William and Ama, a young Ashanti woman, were about to become inextricably linked in a dance of love, loyalty, and rebellion."Complete
