She sits atop a bronze spire, looking down upon the people that could've been her devout followers and believers. She sits atop a church of a god that took her place, watching people flit in and out of a church that could've been her own temple. She sits atop a tawny wild horse, watching a battle she could've influenced. One soldier catches her eye. A knight too short to be a male, a knight too beautiful to look away from. That was when she knew that this knight would be the one to restore her power, to restore her status as a true goddess of war. The only thing standing in her way was the heart of this lady-knight, and she is desperate to win it.

This was real life... this was my religious bisexual life experience. And I take pride in what I wrote here. Of fucking course religious bisexuals go "back and forth" in a homophobic era. You won't have to teach me wrong from right. I'm just sharing one experience to relate to other's similar experiences. We will not be silenced. 🏳️🌈❤️🔥Complete
The Labyrinth Through Camelot | {COMPLETED}
"So if we don't get there soon, we lose, right? We lose Merlin and Hera will end the world?" "Camelot will end, Greece will end... Even your own world will be gone." 'You knights are our only hope.' Luna's signing really sold it. If they didn't stop Hera soon, the whole world would end. "Alright. What do we have to do?" ********** As far as the world knows, Camelot and ancient Greece never conflicted. Never associated, never spoke, never interacted. In fact, it would be safe to say that the two worlds didn't even exist at the same time. Until they do. An untold story that changes every story you've ever known. The Knights of Camelot rule as kings and queens, the first since the death of the legendary King Arthur. Sharing the duties among the six of them and under the guidance of the warlock, Merlin, these teenagers travel between Camelot and the modern world, the first time travelers, to protect the land they've adopted as their own. The Goddlets are used to living in a world of their own. As the children of the gods, they are used to getting away with whatever they want. Not used to many changes in their quiet world, they aren't prepared for what comes next. When the Knights and the Goddlets are called together on a quest to save Merlin from the clutches of Hera, the queen of the Greek gods, two very different worlds collide in a race against the clock to save the world. With limited time at their hands and everything they know and love at stake, the Knights and the Goddlets team up to put an end to Hera's destructive reign. The worlds of Camelot and ancient Greece collide in this action-packed book. Classic characters meet new faces in a complete retelling of universes people both know and love. {Entered in the Open Novella Contest under prompt 83: "This assignment requires us to act like adults.
