Enko is fed up. Fed up with a losing war. Fed up dependence on foreigners. Fed up with trying to explain to her nephew that his father is never coming back.
Gilga is a standoffish naga who has lived their whole life in pursuit of greater knowledge. But now that life is ending. Once they are gone, no one will know their accomplishments or take care of their precious possessions. They have just 6 months to prevent their own death before their legacy ends.
When Enko drops the sacrifice meant to appease Gilga, the serpent refuses to help the tribe. It's up to Enko to save her tribe's last hope and convince Gilga to work with her if it's the last thing they both do.
This a remixed retelling of the legend of Gilgamesh, one of the oldest stories in existence. It is set in a precolonial world filled with Tolken-esque fantasy races.

Fairy Tail no Aoi Shugosha (Blue Guardian) OCxFairy Tail [Slow Update]
Not every hero starts off with a cool punchline, a dashing entrance or even somewhere along the line like an overpowered character right off the bat. Take for instance, this ordinary young man with no superpowers that you can see in every day life along the streets but suddenly finds himself in a land of magic with amnesia. Why did someone like him end up in this precaurious situation full of mana in the first place? One thing for certain is that he does not belong in this so-called Earthland but rather a world of modern day technologies. He will soon realise he has a huge destiny in store for him and may just become the world's greatest savior unlike anything that has ever been before. In this world of magic, another legend is being carved into history and will be told in days to come in the famous guild as a third generation dragon warrior makes his debut.

Enchanted Apple
It was a perfectly normal day of camping with Dave and Tristan, when Tristan is suddenly missing. Dave just told him to explore for a little bit while he was setting up, but he didn't know he would wander into the forest. Anyhow, he shouldn't be too far. It's not like he was transported somewhere by some magical fruit.. Right? WARNING: Some chapters may contain ableism, angst, violence, death, abuse, alcoholism, and mentions of suicide. If you're not okay with those I recommend not reading too far into this. Thank you
