The gods are angry.
There are secrets locked behind the large, wooden door of the castle's library-with it, Sage's mother. There are ghosts that haunt the hallways, they linger, whispering their sins to never be heard and they watch through portraits of former kings. Lies that leave the lips of a king so revered by his people, they string along the crowned princess, who wants nothing but to believe her father.
When the king decides they all die, that is the command, and so the people of Lythria will do so.
When the gods are angry, the people will suffer. They demand blood more than a king mad upon his throne. Nyx is given the command from the gods: remove the sin from the world. And she's forced to kill the target or side with her.

Kingdom of the Zodiac
The locals had warned me that no one in their right mind would enter the North Woods alone, not unless they had a death wish. It's a good thing then that I am not in my right mind. Fear had prevented me from returning to this place for years, but the nightmares depriving me of sleep threatened to steal what little sanity I had left, leaving me with no other choice than to confront the source of my apprehension. I was tired of pretending that everything was ok. That I was ok. I needed the nightmares to stop. But in order for that to happen, I needed to uncover my lost memories. The North Woods held answers, of that much I was certain. So here I stand, ready to face my past. If only I could get my legs to move. **FIRST DRAFT - UNEDITED **Complete
Saving Tally (last Book 6) Jacobs Broken Mercenaries
The walls between heaven, hell, and earth no longer exist. There are no more rules, and humans are becoming extinct. Only the strong and the clever will survive. The fate of the world rests on their shoulders. Jacob is missing after sending off his last true tie to earth; into the hands of the devil. Lucifer is fighting for control over a land he despises. The crew is hiding out in faery just trying to survive. Can Jacob save the day? Does he even want to? In this last installment of Jacob's broken mercenaries. All the answers will come to fruition. In a world where you're either the hero or the villain. Lucifer lies heavily in the latter category, but to Tally (behind his wall of indifference), he's just normal. Maybe a little selfish. She desires him and understands him like no other. Does that make her evil, too? How will this story end? There's so many questions, and only two possible outcomes are definite. The end or a new beginning.Complete
Flower and Tree
"Why did you do this to us? Why take dying and dead minds and force them on unwilling and unknowing random people?" Her voice did not raise, but the few physical items in the room began to shake, and the air to on a distinct smell of sulphur. "Why not just let us live normal lives? Why burden us with this?" Eventually It spoke. "I will tell you what I told those you host. Only Heaven, Hell, and their respective rulers are eternal, and even the Master of Lies and his domain shall yet fall under the sword of the One that the Druids called the White God." Rated T for the beginning of Chapter 3 See last chapter for information on my lack of updates. Also, this is one of earliest stories that I have written(discounting the ones that I wrote when I was about four), but I only re-found it recently. To those who have read it before it got 'revamped', it was once called 'Rosella Tiger'.Complete

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
