"How did you find this place?" Zia asked the King, speaking for the first time since entering the tent.
"I've been searching for the location of your Headquarters for months- years, really." Donathan admitted. "We only found it when we got wind that two new recruits would be coming here today. My men tailed them here this morning and sent for me as soon as they were certain of the location."
The tent was silent. Finally Arch said thoughtfully, "You say you come to negotiate?"
The King nodded.
"Very well, then," Arch said, "I will oblige. If I do answer your plea, can I insure that this camp and all those who live in it will remain protected and untouched?"
Donathan nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, I believe you can."
"And," he went on, "can I trust that this place will remain secret to the outside world?"
"My men are sworn into secrecy," the King assured him.
Arch fell silent once again. This quiet seemed to last longer than all the others. Zia wanted to know what he would say, and His Highness and Jay appeared to be in the same boat.
"Very well, then," Arch said, stretching forth his hand for the King to shake. "When shall we sort out the details?"

Kings Game
[Updates Daily] THE FINALE BEGINS!!! After losing friends and family, fighting in two wars, and suffering through more than they could possibly imagine, Roran and his comrades set their sights on the Kings. Every obstacle has been cleared from their path, all that remains is to collect their weapons, refine their abilities, and take on the Gods themselves. The journey comes to a close as the trio steps back into the arena for a final bout, one final game against the Kings. [Original synopsis] Kill the King, take the Crown, become a God. After losing his family and his home, Roran is thrown into a world where power is everything and the weak are nothing more than fodder for a growing empire. The ever churning arena keeps the Empire entertained and gives the downtrodden a chance to rise up and gain fortune, fame, and if you can climb high enough, the opportunity to challenge the Kings themselves and take their thrones for yourself. Finding a handful of companions, Roran picks up a blade and sets out to conquer the arena and tear down the men that destroyed his life. [This is a writing endurance challenge. I will be attempting to update this story every single day for a year. My goal is to take the story through a series of arcs leading up to a grand finale.] [Update: I'm well past a year and still going. Planning to have the story completed around February 23]Complete
The Story of Midnight
"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?Complete
Tales of the Sapphire Stars I: An Encroaching Encounter
The New World. As its name implies, a land filled with the Unknown. To some, a treasure trove of discovery and riches, to others, the thrill of adventure and the chance of glory, but to all, a mystery filled with endless possibilities. 40 years ago, The Hunters Guild formed a group of the elite in order to investigate this uncharted paradise. That was the birth of The Research Commission. After a perilous journey through the sea, the First Fleet of the Commission crashed on the new world. Unable to move their destroyed vessel, the First Fleet decided to make the crashing site where their new base will be, and after years of adapting and building, they created Astera. 30 years ago, the Second Fleet departed, consisting mostly of Engineers and technicians, whose mighty hammers and incandescent forges created tools and weapons that were sorely needed. 20 years ago, a group of researchers, the Third Fleet, arrived in the New World. However, they stayed in their own base, floating in the air. Whether it was scientific curiosity or the call of something from the beyond, "The Thirds" decided to research the Valley of death. 10 years ago, the resourceful and organized Fourth Fleet arrived, creating systems and stability making sure everything ran as precisely as it should. Lastly, stepping on the trails of the Scorching Mountain Dragon, the largest fleet set sail towards The New World. Filled with the best hunters the guild could find, and thanks to the solid base built-in Astera over years of hardships, will The Fifth Fleet become the final key to unlock the mysteries of the new world? This is a tale of a group of passionate members of the Fifth fleet, who, guided by the radiance of the Sapphire Star, will challenge the unknown and brave the brute forces of nature itself.

For The Sword
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
Alliance
𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 '𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞' 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 Once upon a time, in a faraway land- well, actually near the faraway land of fantasy of which we know much about- there lay a small country named Rihaaya. It was small in terms of its geographical borders but its population was vast and ever increasing, with the agricultural production (for that was the main means of livelihood) flourishing and growing leaps and bounds. It was not a young Land- it had lasted centuries upon centuries, and was ruled by a caring and clever Queen and her kind and benevolent King- but, due to some international worry, it needed the protection of a larger and stronger land. Naturally, the most reasonable thought to secure this protection the King and Queen had was that of a marriage alliance- for, that would guarantee protection and security for years and hopefully generations to follow. And they were most pleased once they received word from the High King of Narnia- who had seen the advantages of marrying into a bountiful Queendom that had an abundance of grains and natural resources- that they were willing to accept the alliance and union. Really, there were only two opposers to this idea. The bride and the groom. //// #1 in #edmundpevensie (25/06/2021) #1 in #thechroniclesofnarnia (29/05/2021) #1 in #cslewis #1 in #medievalfantasy (7/7/2021) #1 in #goldenage #1 in #kingsandqueens (9/06/2021) #1 in #naomiscott #1 in #narniaau (26/04/2021) #2 in #ocfanfiction #2 in #faeries (29/11/2020) #2 in #medievalfantasy (13/03/2021) #2 in #thegoldenage #3 in #kingsandqueens (5/04/2021) #7 in #narnia (out of 5K stories) (10/04/2022) •••• The Alliance Series, as found on @EdsGryff: 'Alliance' 'The Heirs' 'Moonshine' 'Fairytale?' ••••Complete

The Island Princess (Edmund Pevensie x Reader)
EDMUND X READER "Edmund, I... I like you" I confessed. Fiddling with my fingers. My eyes were looking at everything. Anything. Anything but him. "I just wanted to know how... how you feel... what you feel about... me. Us." It was silent for a few moments. I finally looked at him to find out why he was so quiet. The moment my eyes landed on his face, I was able to see his expression. He had the biggest smile and his cheeks were red. Like red red. "Y/N," He said my name. That alone made me feel butterflies. He chuckled, "You really are clueless." Edmund stood up and took my hands. He stood me up gently. We were now standing in front of each other with the sunset behind us, hitting the right features. Our eyes were fixated on each other. "This whole time," he said, "did you not even have one passing thought that I maybe have liked you too?" I blushed. Redder than cherries. "I never got to think about it" I answered. "Why?" "Because," he said as he cupped my chin gently, "I like you too." You, move into a new town in England and meet the four Pevensies. You accidentally enter an enchanting new world you've never been to. ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO DISNEY. I DONT KNOW HOW THIS WORKS BUT THE CHARACTERS AND NARNIA BELONG TO DISNEY.

In Debt To The Devil
"Why-why is he here?" I asked slightly feeling panicked. "Your father, Step- father owes me money. 36 million pounds to be exact." Stefan said as he buttoned his suit and looked at file on the desk. "Well we don't have that kind of money." I said as I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at my fathers. "They need more time to pay it all off, it is true. I thought they will be able to pay it. So, I gave them five months. The third months can't be paid. They don't even one third of the annual payment. I believe you will a talk about my offer to them very soon." He said as he was walking towards me. "W-Wh-Why?" I asked as he approached me as I looked up at him. He was tall but, I was not very short either. He must be 6 feet but I was 5 feet and 7 inches. With my heels I was 5 feet 10 inches. His intense gaze on me made my chest warm. "You are part of it." The devil said in low voice as he stood next to me. I couldn't move or think for a few moments. His hot breath fell on my neck and it sent a shiver down my spine and make my breath hitch. Stefan Black entered my life. And my life fell into darkness. I am Diana Martin or was. Now, I am Diana Black. I belong to Stefan Black. He owns me. I am leverage, a useless asset to him. If makes my life hard I will make his hell.
