There's no faster way to get a promotion than by having your superiors turn to stone. Yesterday, I was a novice. I wore a grey cloak that brushed my calves and made the Little Folk in the forest laugh at me as I passed them by. Then one by one by one, my fellow sisters started to look a little grey in the face and clouded in the eyes. Their joints began to stiffen. Their musical voices cracked. They started coughing up dust.
Now, I'm my monastery's last hope to complete a ritual that might save us all... If I can keep Tablet's anxiety from causing them to combust, avoid being devoured by demons that will stop at nothing to steal the sacred idol I carry...
And keep from turning to stone before I can use it.

My Hybrid Troubles
*This is Purely fantasy* I'm Rose. I am 50% witch, about 25% vampire and about 25% she-wolf (Werewolf). My father IS half warlock and half vampire. My mother WAS half witch and half she-wolf (werewolf). I had two older siblings but they passed away on their sixteenth birthdays. One of them was my brother, I never really knew him, I was in our mother's womb at the time. He died after he shifted his first time because he was never told about his genes and what they meant (he died from shock). The other one was my sister, I kind of got to know her, but when she passed I was only 6. She also died after her first shift, but not because she was clueless. She had been told TOO much about her genes and what they meant. When she shifted, she tried to stop it because she was scared of her wolf. After my sister passed so did my mother, she was severely depressed and couldn't take the thought of me leaving her too early. Before she died, she told my father everything about herself and her werewolf roots. She only survived until my dad knew everything, it seemed like that was all that mattered, like she knew she was going to die. I have been taught the ways of my ancestors, werewolf, vampire and witch, slowly so I can absorb it all properly. ------------------------- This story is about me, a young girl, with a lot of issues. I always am treated like trash by my rude human stepmother. Around my father, she's completely innocent but when he isn't, hell just about breaks loose.

What happens when one person I really thought I could trust hurts me almost beyond repair? And what happens to hybrids that seek a second chance? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WARNINGS: There is swearing, abuse, mature sections, etc.Complete
Captured By A Demon
I finally escaped the factory, they kidnapped me from my college. Today is my birthday, and I had planned for it but nothing helped, only calming me down for the moment. A scream echoed out in the silent starry sky, my body freezing... They were looking for me, I just knew it. Again, I ran and jumping over the fence to the property, muscles burning, my breathing short. I look behind me, not seeing the light of the school anymore. I slow down, holding my breath again. Looking around, only trees and bugs surround me. I slowly sank to my knees, gripping the grass in between my fingers, to keep my breathing calm. Tears springing to my eyes and brushing the tears away, slowly getting back to normal. Suddenly, I felt someone behind me. I could feel its strength and power surround me, turning around to see a dark figure behind me. Glowing blue eyes stared at me, seeing it slowly walk toward me. My breathing becoming short again, a panic attack was on the verge. A hand was now on my shoulder and another on my cold cheek, making me look into his eyes, "Let me help you..." He whispered. Rubbing his thumb against my cheek, I slowly nod my head, when a pain began to form in my chest. I knew it was coming. I quickly get away, crawling a couple feet away. "Get away!" I yelled. My skin turning white and the pain erupting inside of me, feeling it try to escape, and I know if I let it. It will hurt this man. Suddenly, he was there in my view. Blue eyes staring at me, and then his lips were on my own. Gasping as I felt the pain beginning to disappear from inside me. Eyes drooping and my body relaxing against his. Soon, the kiss ended and I was empty. My eyes closing. "Don't worry, I will keep you safe..."Complete
Tale of Snorri Ulfson
"Are you fucking serious?" I snarled when I got closer to him, having pondered the many satisfying ways I could kill him. "Calm down, you've never fallen?" he said. "I did fall, but not on a straight, stone pavement! Everything has limits, and you've just crossed the last of them. I expected that Melion would fall massacrating his awful face, but you? Dawi?" -------------------------- Story of a dwarf sergeant, serving in human army. He loses his squad in a fight with beastmen. When he gets a new one, things get complicated.

Songweaver's Path
They erased my people. Our chants, our dances, our gods - gone. I was supposed to disappear with them. Instead, I woke up in a world of metal towers, glowing screens, and magic stripped of soul. They call it mana and use it like fuel rather then blood. But I remember when magic meant something, such as when a single song could summon the sea's fury or call down the spirit of a long-forgotten guardian. Now, I wear shoes that don't fit, speak words that feel hollow, and walk among strangers who measure worth in levels and stats. They fight monsters with swords and algorithms. I fight them with rhythm. I don't know why I was sent here. But the evil that devoured my world is stirring again - beneath this one. And I won't let it silence another world. Not while I still have a voice. [For cleaner chapters, you can find me at RoyalRoad]

I want to be loved too
"You can't see her at the moment, this is a newly open case," the police officer told me. I just stand there baffled. What is she talking about? "My sister was doing a normal check up, why is this involving the police? And why can't I go back in? What did she give you? Is she okay, I need to be there to translate, she's mute!" I say trying to explain how I need to be there for my little Viol, she's my sister, my daughter. "I'm sorry I can't give you more information than that-," "What?" The air flies harshly out of my lungs and I don't try to suck in back in. My vision get crossed eyed and my fingers clams around the arm of the chair behind me. I don't think I heard her correctly. "We have reason to believe your sister is getting groomed by a close male adult and until we have cleared you your not allowed to be near her or you will get arrested," she says harshly, like she's just waiting to put her hand cuffs on me. I fall back in my chair with a defeated look. What has she just told me? What happened to my little Viol?
