Once upon a time. . .
There was a kingdom in the midst of a war. As troops were slain mercilessly, the king turned to the gods and prayed for a blessing. Thus, the dragon goddess, Tiamat, answered. She lent her aid to the kingdom in return for a hundred souls to become her offspring. The king, in a frenzy, accepted her offer without acknowledging the weight of his decision.
When the kingdom was victorious, the king decided to go back on his word. The cost was one-hundred men too many; he refused to take that many lives.
Furious, Tiamat swore to the king that when she had enough power, she would cause such devastation in the kingdom the king's legacy would be nothing but a story.
Her power was depleted, but her fury was unlimited.
It took the vengeful goddess a thousand years to gather the strength to deliver her child into the world. This child would carry the soul of a dragon that would slowly lose its sanity until it caused chaos throughout the world; the world the king had sworn to protect.
There would be only one way to stop the progression of the mania before the world plummets into disarray. Yet, that is only for the dragon to know and the world to ponder.

For All of Dragonkind: The Beginning
First, there was existence. Then, creation. And finally, life. Organisms started to exist and live on the insignificant planet known as Earth in the middle of a galaxy out of the endless void that is space. Two races gained a gift all other creatures don't have: intelligence. Humanity and Dragonkind. Dragonkind was gifted with power and strength, while humanity had dexterity and creativity, always hungry for knowledge. However, when a conflict threatens to destroy the world, dragons become the definition of beasts and humans become nearly helpless to survive the onslaught or become monsters themselves. As the planet closes on its own destruction, a child born of both universes will be either the last light of hope to end the bloodshed once and for all or become its greatest threat to not only Earth, but possibly the whole universe. As two beings run from death itself, their child must survive not just to save Humanity, but all of Dragonkind as well. (Author: This story and others have been living rent-free in my head for a while. My own dark take on the "war, but with dragons" concept, this is the start of an anthology of stories. All will contain a variety of genres. This story has gore, swearing, deaths, and strong references to sex. This and the other stories in the anthology will not be for the faint of heart.)Completa
For Her Honour
Welcome to my adventure into writing a short story for the Dragon Princess theme set by @_Once_Upon. If you find the idea of writing to a subject for a competition, make sure you check out Ever After Contests. This is a short story about a fiery princess who vows revenge on her would-be hero. The word count was a maximum of ten thousand words which wasn't easy to stay under; I wanted to keep going! I hope that you enjoy this tale, I certainly had fun writing it. For Her Honour is a tale that is sometimes sad, sometimes funny and the end is rather steamy ;) Don't forget to show your love with those pretty stars and let me know what you think; I'd love to hear from you! © These stories and works are copyrighted.

They can feel the whispers of war at their boarders. They NEED their king. They think he can stop the war before it starts. What they don't know is the war eminent. Rylan's mate might be powerful and just but one thing he is not is forgiving. When given the opportunity he won't hesitate to inflict justice on every single person that had a hand in hurting her; even if that means starting the biggest war their nations ever seen. Trigger Warnings: Sexual Assault, Violence, Self-Harm/Suicide, Miscarriage, Sexual Content, Abuse, Blood, Mental illness. ***This story is PART 2 of Silenced (Rewrite) and I do recommend reading in order but it's not necessarily required. **All rights reserved.

Have you ever imagined a world in which you could wield the elements of Lightning, Fire, Water, Ice, or even the elements of the Earth? Well, Mystic was dragged into the lineage and her father fought in the war against this guy named Akuma, a life-long war that started way back in roughly 1000 AD, started over Akuma having his pride be hurt and getting his ass beat time and time again, he was sick of it, so he went into an all-out deathmatch with Viktor Hikari, Mystic's distant ancestor who reshape the Kingdom of Eclipse to be a better democracy than it was with its monarchy status, the King of all Elementalist as he wielded three to four elements at once, including his primary lightning element. The ancient enemy who seemingly hid away after his fight with Mystic's father, Salvador, came knocking at his front door, and unfortunate for Salvador, most of his power was sapped by Mystic on accident due to something his father forgot to tell him about. Every time a StormCaller is born, the previous StormCaller God is sapped of most of his/her power when the baby turns six-years-old, and that the effect would last around two years. So, how will it end for Salvador? What does Akuma want? Is it Salvador's daughter? Vengeance? Bloodshed? His house? The City? Find out as you read more about how Mystic goes through physical and mental pain that no human could survive or live with, how she managed to go through all the struggle yet still manages to smile after going through all of the extreme mental and physical pain for a full seven years.
