Edit, this story is now on hiatus, but I'm not abandoning it. I need to do some editing and some housekeeping on it, But I'm leaving it up as it is until further notice




Long ago in the land of Heptamir, there was a kingdom. In this kingdom there was a palace and in this palace there lived a king. this king had a family like kings often do, a beautiful wife and two lovely daughters. These little princesses were the light and laughter of the kingdom, the rose and daisy of Pascal. They would grow up to be beautiful young women the people would say, grow up to marry and carry on their families Legacy. The rose however was a bit different to her younger sister, preferring  swords to sewing and battles to a ball.

Unbeknownst to all in the kingdom, the rose was not a rose at all, but a dandelion flourishing in the shadows, growing through cracks in the rigid stonework of proper behavior and expectations. There were times it was hard for the dandelion to keep up the walls of her blushing pedal façade, Times when the yellow would shine through. It was the daisy  that helped in these times, excepting the young flowers differences without question. In the end it was she that helped the dandelion to fly free, far away from the field of their birth. This is the tale of truth, the truth of a dandelion.

Rowans Choice by SPenBooks

Completed ✨👸🏼 Born to the fairy elite, the royal line, next in line to take the crown, a queen to be announced on her next birthday, with her royal responsibilities and...one choice... only one... everything else has always been decided for her. "Who has Princess Rowan chosen to be her eternal mate?" A question, oh a question, It was already whittled down by the draw upon her birth, a family name picked at random, to keep this fairy line fair, hardly fair to the one picking, to do so from such a small pool of options. Luckily fairy families were large but as Rowan searched the faces in front of her, five brothers... all handsome, all rather eager to take the beautiful Princess's hand... it was the sister, stood to the left, observing, that caught Rowans eye and if she only got this one choice then it was clear. She had read the rules, many, many times, they clearly state to pick from the chosen families kin, sixteen years and over only, nothing on the gender, not that it had ever been done before but rules were rules and Rowan smirked as she let her choice roll over her tongue. She would choose the one thing her father would be most furious about but couldn't change, her choice, and no other fairy, king or not could change it. "Andromeda" she would announce, finger flexed toward her, and the entire kingdom would erupt in the great hall with shock, as Andromeda of the sky line, was pushed forward by her mother into the mix with her brothers. "Rowan" her father would curse "if you place that ring on her finger your line has ended... please rethink your choice" But Rowan didn't care... and Andy had called out to her long before now, the beautiful brunette with striking green eyes, a daring smile and a powerful magic that Rowan had long admired. And after all... it was Rowans choice... to hell with the rules. *I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR THIS BOOK TO BE COPIED, OR ADAPTED ON THIS PLATFORM, OR ANY OTHER, BY ANYONE ELSE* *Completed February 2023*

The Cursed Prince by missrealitybites

"You will be the mother of my children," said the man in a commanding tone. His shameless words rendered Emmelyn speechless and shocked, more so, than the kiss he landed on her lips earlier. "I need three children from you." "Eh ... wait.. what? Hold on a minute," Emmelyn, who was moved from her shock, hurriedly rubbed her lips roughly as if trying to remove the devil's marks from them. "I don't want to be your wife! I don't want to marry you, you devil!!" The man frowned and squinted his eyes menacingly. "Who said anything about marriage?" THE NEXT DAY "Let's go," said the prince. "Let's go where?" Emmelyn asked, not understanding. "Let's go make babies." *** SYNOPSIS: The crown prince was cursed on the day he was born, that he will never be happy. What's worse, no woman could touch him without dying. Thus, finding a wife to produce an heir became the royal family's greatest challenge since the prince is the only son. Until one day.. A slave girl who tried to kill him didn't end up dying after they touched. Emmelyn was a princess from one of their colonies who vowed to avenge her family's death by killing the crown prince.. And that's how she ended up in his castle. Seeing that she was the only woman he could have sexual relationship with, without killing her, the prince made an agreement to let her go and free her kingdom from his oppression if she produced for him three heirs. Emmelyn said yes, but every day that they were together, she made plans to kill him and get her revenge. Can Emmelyn get what she wanted, or would she be entangled deeper with the enemy who was deemed as the devil incarnate himself by his enemies when she found out he was actually more of an angel?

A/N: ANY OFFERS FOR COMIC OR ANYTHING WILL BE DENIED AND DELETED. I'm not interested. ***SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED VOLUME 1!!!*** The veiled woman gently stroked the magic ball and peered at it. I couldn't see anything on its cloudy surface and nervously waited for her to speak. "Ah I see it... there's conflict, a passionate kiss, and a deadly battle hard fought in the near future." I nearly shot up from the seat in the fortune telling booth with excitement. "Seriously? Wow, Ophelia sure has her work cut out for her." The fortune teller paused before raising an eyebrow underneath her thin veil. "This is your future." "...Pardon?" -- The future has never looked dimmer but at least I didn't have to worry about being stabbed to death anytime soon. Trying to adjust to my new everyday life, I'm thrust into a situation where I'm given a rank far above my capabilities.
