It was once said that a crow could bless the body of a deceased, returning their soul to their body. The crow gave them a second chance, but at a price. The crow's own soul would bind with the deceased's and they would become one, the resurrected now being able to turn into an overly large, ethereal crow. If the crow had been powerful, the resurrected could switch between their crow and a normal crow. But legend also says that the only crows known to be able to do this were hunted, tried for witchcraft, and found guilty. These crows, as we call them, were really an entire race of magickal beings, wiped out entirely because of superstition.
___________________________________________
The realm of Rowathi was literally created by the crows. The land imbued with their magick, they created the other bird species. But the crows could not imbue their own magick into their avian counterparts. And thus, the crows had the ability to create life, and take it away. They ruled over the avian kingdom, their power respected and revered. All corvids had the power to create. But not on the scale that the crows were. An unkindness had started a revolt amongst the corvids, creating unease throughout the avian settlements. And then, the Queen was dethroned, the entire crow line eradicated, or so they thought. Nowadays, if someone sees a crow, they report to the Ravens, an elite line of warriors sent out to eradicate any thought of a crow. But the crows have adapted to hide their wings... to mimic other species. And so a revolt shall begin, a war will ensue, but can the crows take back what's rightfully theirs?

I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete

By the time she realized her worth had been stripped away piece by piece, it was already too late. Then one day, Zerhica wakes up and finds herself back in the past-staring at her 17-year-old reflection in the mirror, in the very room she once called home.

LOVING THE ANTIHERO LUNA QUEEN
I wasn't born wicked. In fact, I was once a generous, lively, sweet, and caring daughter of the influential and wealthy Royal Chief Sentinel. My father was guarding the borders, and fought many battles for the Alpha King. But love destroyed me. When I first entered the palace as the chosen mate of the Alpha King, I fell in love with him at first sight. My feelings were reciprocated as he favored me above all the other chosen mates. In no time, I became his Royal Consort. However, my happiness was short-lived. Everything changed when he met my stepsister-his fated mate. From that moment, she became his entire world, and I became a shadow of my former self. Nature itself became my enemy; I couldn't compete with the unbreakable bond of fated mates. Consumed by jealousy, loneliness, and bitterness, I did the unthinkable-I killed the center of the Alpha King's universe. In return, he ended my life. My story came to a tragic end. But the Moon Goddess granted me another chance. I was reborn, five years before I first met the Alpha King. This time, I vowed to change my fate. I would no longer trust the Alpha's feelings or succumb to my old mistakes. Yet fate played a cruel trick on me. I was no longer his chosen mate-I was his fated mate. How can I avoid another tragic end when destiny has rewritten the rules?
