A small excerpt from a story I've started writing. Draconia is about an alternate history starting in 1347 A.D. where various normal and fantastical events change the course of history.
Dragons have emerged from the Northern tip of Scandinavia, razing land and slaughtering anyone they come across. They push further and further outward, threatening the existence of humanity itself.
The Komnenian Restoration never ended, and the Byzantine Empire now controls all of Anatolia, the Holy Land, Egypt and Sicily. Tunis is a friendly satellite state of the empire. With Tunisian help, the Crusaders pushed the Moors out of Iberia much earlier, while Morocco was unified with Tunis.
The Russians pushed into the Baltic while the Golden Horde pushed into Russian land. The Romanians and Rus were unified through a peaceful transition of power.
Ireland, Scotland and England are in a constant state of war with each other.
The Holy Roman Empire is strong and centralized, but seeks to push into Italy for legitimacy as the true Roman Empire.
The Turks, having been pushed out of Anatolia, now seek to consolidate their power in Persia.
With dragons wiping out all opposition without any effort and purifying the lands they conquer, all the warring nations of Europe have declared peace and formed a coalition to try and defeat the draconian menace. Despite this the dragons continue wiping out the armies of Europe, and continue to push further and further south. It looks like nothing can stop them. Can humanity hope to survive this onslaught?

His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn.

Old Money Madness
One of his hands was snaked around my back while the other dragged up my spine into my hair. With one hard tug, my head fell backward and the shower water covered my face. Gasping for air I felt his mouth make its way around the base of my neck. The hot water was already making my skin hot, but having him so close in this way, made me feel like I should have combusted a long time ago. He jerked me back up to be facing him. He kissed my mouth then drags his eyes down to my neck. "A pretty necklace, for the gorgeous Princess." *** "Tell me River what each kiss means again." He presses one to my cheek. "We're friends." I smile. "Here." He presses a kiss on my hand. "You adore me." I laugh. Then he pressed a kiss to my lips. It was quick barely touching long enough for my nerves to recognize it. "A kiss to the lips," I spoke blankly. My lips still parted in the manner he left me. I'm afraid to move in fear that my brain will forget the feeling. "And tell me again what that means River?" "I love you." A chaste whisper. So quiet, almost as if it didn't need to be said at all to be understood. "And that I do Miss Knight. In all your intensity." *** Two people come to figure out a double homicide. One is mental who is richer than anyone and the other is a detective from New York just trying to get their name on a big case. You may want to eat the rich, but most of them have already starved themselves. insta: csulak_Complete

"I will," he claimed, his smile making the scar on his face look even more fierce. "I will have your body, heart, soul. Everything," he growled, as I watched his eyes zero in on my lips.

The Royal Despise (Completed)
"You intoxicate me, you filled up every single one of my thoughts to an extend that I actually didn't want you to die" Soo this is me but like 3 years (??) later and I have to say I wrote this when I was like 12/13 so there's that andd if you know me irl, pretend you never saw or read this. Thanks and enjoy! This book mainly just revolves around Hermione and her need to save her kingdom, even though there will be dramione moments I can't promise it to be all about romance Monarchy still persists and kings and queens rule the lands. After the war between the kingdoms, each of the kingdom decided to sign a treaty and form a union. The royalty, including the princes and princesses, are...special. Magic runs in their veins, making them witches and wizards. But the people did not fear them, for they knew that both good and bad witches and wizards existed and their rulers were anything but evil....atleast some of time. Hogwarts:- school for royalty, that also taught the princes and princesses how to control and use their magic, was a boarding school that royalty attended from many places around the world. Including the golden trio. When the school year comes to an end and many of the prince's and princesses are weighed down by the pressure of ascending the throne, Draco and Hermione has their own little problem. What is this problem? That is for me to know and you to find out _ So this is my first time writing, and I apologise beforehand for any kind of mistakes I make. Also I constantly look back at my chapters and make a lot of improvements and edits to fill up plot holes here and there. Sorry if that bugs you. Warning:- the characters all belong to J.K Rowling The picture I used for the cover was edited by me,myself and I. (The account name given in the cover is my old name @meridasbravery, so please ignore that typo) _Complete
Curse of the Stars Book 1
"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?Complete
Dreams ~ Open Wings
The dragons of Drealite have lived in four separate mancers and rarely ever crossed. Each mancer has corresponding stones that haven't been disturbed for many generations, until Nightmare got hold of them in his talons. At this time, the Shadowmancers are threatening war on the Sunmancers, accusing them of the stones' disappearance. This caused the queens to turn to a prophecy starring four dragonlings who might just save them all. Nerve is one of the prophecy dragonlings, who has almost lived his entire life not knowing he has his talons in two mancers. While on the journey to restore peace on Drealite, he learns that not every dragon close to him can be fully trusted, and he cannot let his guard down. (I'm keeping this up for reminiscence reasons, my middle school self thanks you 😭)Complete
After-Life of Harald the Severe
This story came up to me one day about four years before yesterday. I have to accept the real and mostly true events that did happen in Paris in the year 2018. The events happened a couple of months later I wrote this fantasy! The French President was shocked himself by the events described in my book! I am sorry, dear Mr. President about those events! What's the story about? About the long-forgotten man - the last Viking, Harald the Severe (Hardrada) A piece of the plot itself: "I've just woken up from the dead. I guess I've killed my wife and let her rest in peace. Before I sucked her dry, she was mumbling some crazy bullshit about my future, the world that needed me, and other creepy things. Let her get away! She had a peeve with me and my beaten head for the whole of my life! And now I've drunk her life and blood till the last drop. I hate them both! Why am I fucking alive?" "I can now see my future. I will follow the right path. But for me, it won't be a path. It will be a highway as I am the king!" "I don't want to have a total monopoly. I want to be free. Why can't I?" "I must make everyone believe me! And then I have to betray them all. There will be no road for me but a path. The miserable end awaits anyway! Let it be if that's God's will!"Complete
