To survive an endless curse cast upon the earth by the gods, humans sought freedom and revenge upon those who were closest to them- the Giants. Attacking with powerful sleep spells, the situation left them with only 24 hours of escape. Celebrating the tenth millennia since giants started ruling Oyo-Ile, Asalewa Ayodeji, one of the thousand enslaved individuals from Ondo cursed with misfortune, puts her escape plan into action. Meanwhile, dwarfs ascend from the spirit world to find and elude the twin golden eggs, which hold over a thousand powers and spells. Nevertheless, Asa encounters an army of Ninki-Nanka; creatures who will leave nothing and no one standing until they possess the twin golden eggs. Could she make her dream of freedom a reality by joining the northerners and exploring a more liberated world? How far would Asa and the others go to protect the twin golden eggs? Could this be the end of humankind? Cover credit: Meha-k #1 in MythandLegend (07.07.2023) COPYRIGHT ©2022

Book 1: The Child of Starlight by Jaimeeking1
51 parts Complete Mature
Comments appreciated 😁 Book 1 of the 4 book series: Ex Navy Seal Chaos Alabaster Frost was a shapeshifter born in a world of monsters, myth, and fantasy. A world where mortal eyes are now blind to the truth about the creatures and beasts that dwell among them... His life was a constant adventure, he couldn't complain...but Elemental-Guardians, and an growing darkness that's hell bent on destroying the earth, now that's just crazy! Come with me and hear the extraordinary story of how Chaos came to meet the Elemental Guardians and the little five year old girl named Aurora, The Child of Starlight! Warning! There is mature content later on in the story. It's not explicit but if your under sixteen at certain parts I suggest you proceed with caution. Mentioning of PTSD, blood, violence, sexually implied content at certain moments. But again it's not anything crazy explicit but I'm still being cautious! I'd hate to have anyone lose their innocence! None of the song videos in this story are mine. Poems are mine artwork at the end also mine
