Author note: This is a short fantasy story. It was originally an idea that I wanted to submit to an online magazine but I decided to post it here.
Allison is a wallflower, a loner; she keeps to herself, occasionally talking to her cousin Dani. She wasn't always like this; she was outgoing and talkative but after the death of her mom, she secluded herself from the world. Her only safe is outdoors surrounded by nature but since the woods are considered dangerous in her cousin's hometown, she settles for the school's garden.
Until one day she finds herself in the middle of the forest. Afraid and alone she questions how she got there. But she's not alone.
Ardelean, the name of his home, his responsibility; left to rule the forest at a young age Soren is desperate for a solution. The forest is dying; no-one knows why or how to stop it. No-one except the forest itself. When Soren sees Allison in the middle of the forest, he is discouraged wondering how a weak girl could save his home. He needs to trust the forest; the forest knows best. Now it's up to him to ask Allison to help him.
Will she help him or just leave?

The Heart Beyond the Veilwood
Eighteen-year-old Jessica has always felt the pull of the forest. Living at the edge of the forest of the wild, she's heard the warnings her whole life: never cross into the monster's side. But when danger strikes and she's forced beyond the border, she discovers a world far stranger-and more beautiful-than she ever imagined. Wounded and alone, Jessica is saved by Zackariah, a mysterious guardian of the forest with eyes like a stormlight and a soul shaped by solitude. He is not entirely human... and not entirely monster. Bound to the Veilwood by ancient magic, Zackariah never expected to care for a human - let alone risk everything to save one. As Jessica heals in the hidden sanctuary of the wood elves, she and Zackariah find themselves drawn together by a bond neither can explain... and a love that defies the rules of both their worlds. But with danger closing in, and old powers stirring in the trees, their connection may not be enough. To stay together, they'll have to choose: the safety of what they've always known... or the wild, uncertain path of the heart. Some stories begin on the edge of the unknown. This one begins just beyond it. This work originally mine @copyright (this is my first story)Complete
The Hollow Tree
(The Woven Curse Series) "You say 'simple' like we don't have a history of things going very much not simple," she said, waving towards the forest. She wasn't wrong. But still. I stepped in front of her and held her gaze. "Issy. We're already here. We can't pretend we didn't see it." She glared at me. I glared back. Two idiots. One brain cell. Shared custody. "What if they're evil?" she asked. "Then we leave." "What if they're magical?" "Then we still leave." "What if they're hot?" I raised a brow. She paused. Then she sighed. "Okay, fair point. We should at least look." ༻❁༺ A story about two best friends who somehow end up in a kingdom straight out of their favourite fantasy books. Picture rolling fields of emerald grass, crystal lakes with shimmering springs, and the most breathtaking night sky you've ever seen. There's just one catch - the kingdom is cursed, and those two girls are the only ones who can break it. Oh, and one more thing: they've never been here before, have absolutely no magic, and seem to be attracting all the wrong kinds of attention... particularly from a cold-hearted king and an evil enforcer. Sounds fun, right?

His large figure blocked out most of the light from the street while his shadows seemed to melt into the darkness of the alley. The only thing that shined with light were his amber eyes, which made him look scary as shit. "I could ask you the same thing" he answers coldly, crossing his arms in front of his chest. -
The Heart Of The Forest
In the mystical forest of Althoria, where ancient trees whisper secrets and magic flows through every leaf, Elara, one of the last remaining fairies, lives hidden from the mortal world. With shimmering wings and silver hair that glows in the moonlight, she is a guardian of the forest's heart-a place where time moves differently and magic is alive. One evening, a lost traveler named Rowan stumbles into the forest, his path tangled after his horse bolts into the depths of Althoria. Though wary of the forest's dangers, Rowan is captivated by the ethereal figure who appears to offer him help-Elara, a fairy whose beauty and power seem to belong to another world. Though she has never shown herself to a mortal before, something about Rowan's quiet strength stirs a deep, unspoken bond. Guiding Rowan through the forest's ancient paths, Elara reveals a realm that blurs the line between the magical and the real. The deeper they venture, the more Rowan learns about the forest's secrets and his own connection to its ancient magic. At the heart of Althoria lies a stone circle where time and fate intertwine, and Rowan's journey is about to take a turn he could never have imagined. As Rowan and Elara grow closer, the forest reveals more than either of them is prepared for-an ancient destiny tied to Rowan's arrival and the future of the enchanted land. But love, magic, and danger are woven together in the Heart of the Forest, and Rowan must face a choice that will change everything. The Heart of the Forest is a tale of magic, mystery, and a love that transcends the boundaries of time. A journey into a world of enchantment, where fate is forged in the quiet whispers of the trees, and where one heart's choice could save or destroy everything.Complete
Shadow of the Prince
"A fantastical cross between the Beauty and the Beast and ACOTAR." A prince, a witch, and a wolf are tied together by the sins of their parents. Can they break free of the secrets that bind them, or will the Kingdom of Eidas forever be under a terrible curse? Dalia Leary, the eighteen-year-old daughter of an outcast Seer and a downtrodden merchant, lives in a city steeped in lore and magic, where the gods rule the seasons and the noble half-bloods rule the people. The kingdom of Eidas is down on its luck, facing mass starvation and economic failure from prolonged droughts. Dal's mother seems certain that there is a strange, simple solution to both their problems and those of Eidas'. Dal just has to marry the Prince of Eidas, Prince Tullvomm. Easy, right? Of course not. The Prince is nearly ten years her senior, and engaged to be married to the beautiful Princess of the East. She is nothing more besides a common girl from Bridgewater Avenue. Besides the obvious issues of his princess fiancée and her very un-noble birth, there's one other small little problem - Prince Tullvomm is never seen without his pitch-black wolf at his side - his beastly protector. The more Dal tries to get close to the Prince, the more the ghastly wolf seems to always get in the way. Dal realizes that to get access to the Prince she must either befriend the beast or slay him, and though part dog he may be, the beast doesn't seem the type to lie down and roll over. In fact, the more time Dal spends around the creature the less sure she is that he is a dog at all.Complete

Wait!" he called after her as he realized that he could hear a very low humming noise coming from within the woods.

There was a myriad of different types of strange looking creatures coming out of it and Brandon stood there in disbelief at what he was seeing.Complete
