Fragments of Forever ⋆ The Mikaelsons
For a thousand years they roamed the Earth. And for a thousand years they thought of her. Because how could you forget the one person who brought light even into the most dreadful of times? The one person who seemed to be intertwined with their very beings? How could you forget the person you blame yourself for dying? How could you forget the person your own schemes had killed? How could you forget the person who died for your secrets? How could you forget the person who died because you wouldn't leave her? How could you forget the person you've only ever loved from afar? And how could you forget the person who was continuously there? They would lose her, grieve and miss her for centuries... And then she'd be there again. Coming to the one who needed her most. Becoming a solace and becoming home. Only to be lost all over again. The Mikaelson couldn't forget her. But Jane Harmon could. It was an odd thing, thinking that one might forget themselves. But that was what happened. That was how it went every time. And each time she did not realize it until she found them again. Because that was what her soul seemed most intent on. Finding them. Like it was searching for pieces of herself that had been scattered throughout space and time. Never to be complete again. Until now... Until this life... The one which would be her last. ----- The Vampire Diaries [Season 2+] The Mikaelson siblings / OC AU elements at certain points
The 7th legacy of Drayan
When strange events occur in each of the Big Four kingdoms, order and peace in the New Lands are threatened. Drayan, Kordell, Gelior and Travia - four great states, four world powers. They fight for power in Mawress, the international capital located on the Purple Island. However, political games take a back seat when ancient legends begin to awaken. The only story the world knows is the story of the Seven Legacies contained in the Drayanese Chronicles. They tell about the existence of a race of half-human and half-gods - Balyrians, the existence of the Great Largoss Empire and the natural disasters that led to its fall, and about magic, which is now only a fairy tale for people in the New Lands. The Seven Legacies were supposed to be a covenant made between Queen Rose and the Balyrians, the last of which was to be the greatest promise they made to her. However, part of the Seventh Legacy was lost many years ago. Now that the Chronicles have been stolen, people fear that the secret knowledge contained in the Seven Legacies has fallen into the wrong hands. Legends and myths are no longer fairy tales and there is a greater battle going on in the world than in the political arena of the New Lands.

Bleeding Rose | Kol Mikaelson
The Roseblood Clan. Three thousand years worth of magic cursing through their people's blood. Long before the Bennetts, before the Travellers, The Other Side and the Ancestors, there had been the Roseblood clan. Witches forged from the dying breath of a dragon in the centre of Scotland. The blood of the dragon was the legacy of their people. Yet, stories and history could be twisted by the victors of the many battles that had plagued the clan. A war between kin had destroyed the legacy of the Roseblood Clan. After a thousand years, their rule of magic had come to a halt. For over two thousand years, a story had been spun. The story of the evil siphoner. The abomination that had ruined their line. Yet, the truth loomed, threatening to reveal the true reason as to why siphoners existed. What their true purpose was. Were they abominations, the bastards of the magical world or were they meant to take power from those undeserving to ensure it was not misused? Only the victor of the battle gets to tell the tale. Athena Flora Roseblood was far from a victor. Being a firstborn Roseblood had cursed her like many others before her. Firstborn women in their line were not meant to meet their first breath of air, they were destined to die, to be sacrificed within the womb to help empower their coven, yet for the first time in two thousand years, a firstborn woman had come screaming into the world. Athena was never been meant to be born. Her blood haunted her from the second she took her first breath, her house divided thanks to thousands of years of lies. Lies that may never come to the light of day. Fear was a powerful totem and after two thousand years of lies, it left Athena trapped within the cage created for her. The abomination, the bastard of nature, the Roseblood Siphoner. Nothing to the world but a mistake and a monster.
