Because of the betrayal of one, Ravine SwordCleaver's peaceful life in a farming village is shattered by Ravagers, an old enemy of the Seven Clans of Thathia. Her mother and father are taken captive as slaves by the betrayer, and Ravine makes a promise that she will come for them.
But first, she has to locate her brother, who went missing in the aftermath of the raid. And it's not going to be easy, but Ravine wants nothing more than to get him back.
And when she does, she's going after the one who betrayed them, to fulfill her promise to her family. Along the way she makes unusual friends, embitters enemies, and becomes known in her land as the Sword Maiden.
The Sword Maiden is a clean, fun, adventuresome fantasy saga with swords, mysterious men, quirky characters, old-fashioned villains, movie-star worthy horses, and actual morals. It's realistic but with a dash of unrealism, as all great stories are, fun and also serious, and full of messiness.
.....
Please note that I started writing this story in 2020, so the first chapters are not my best writing and I have improved.
The cover was provided by Proverbs31_29 , whom is sadly not on Wattpad anymore that I know of.
Updates are sporadic at the moment, but rest assured, I will not give up on this story! I enjoy its characters, world, plot, and readers too much to do that. The Sword Maiden is not a book, nor a series, but more of a saga at the moment.
With all that said, please enjoy!

The Shattered Path
Book 1 of The Sword of M'Rael - Alara had learned magic in a kingdom where magic was forbidden to women, and she had gone even further to learn magic forbidden to all. She embarks on a perilous journey, pursued by the relentless wizards of Raujorn, and learns that her magical abilities may be a curse rather than a gift. Aerham had been trained since his earliest memories to become a knight in the Brotherhood of Light, but upon arrival at the Brotherhood's legendary fortress, he learns that the knights are not as honorable as the stories say and he finds himself pushed toward a destiny which he cannot avoid. Aryl had only joined the Brotherhood because of his friend Aerham. Choosing to avoid soldiering, he signed on as a scout and found himself thrust into the harsh frontier lands along with another scout, Jaegor. Together, they learn of a danger greater than anyone could have guessed. Theseus awakens in the forest unable to remember how he came to be there. As some of his memories return, he learns that he is a Draechai and that he had been on an important mission. He must find a now-grown child that he had lost and take her to a tower in a dark and dangerous place. But he cannot remember why! Other Draechai seek to stop him and a creature of purest darkness stalks him from the Umbra. This is the beginning of your window in to the story of M'Rael. Three young people find their lives turned upside down and struggle to survive. Pursued by the wizards of Raujorn, encountering mysterious Draechai and mystical Tael, they find themselves pulled in different directions as creatures from the Dark begin to threaten M'Rael once more.Complete
Desert Rose || Trigun Fanfiction
In the sun-scorched wastes of No Man's Land, a feared bounty hunter known only as The Desert Witch drags in another notorious outlaw - just one of many criminals she's brought to justice in a desperate bid to free the people of her ruined hometown, Abril. Haunted by a mysterious tragedy that turned her once-thriving town into an abandoned ghost, she works under the iron grip of a cruel manipulator named Heath, who forces her into a twisted deal: capture a criminal for every surviving soul of Abril. With only one innocent life left to ransom - a child born after the incident - the Witch is given an impossible final task: bring in the legendary outlaw Vash the Stampede, a man infamous for destruction and a 60-billion double dollar bounty, yet also rumored to be a pacifist. Armed with her intelligence, grit, and a sentient, sharp-tongued pistol named Lux, the Witch must traverse treacherous deserts, question the truth behind Vash's legend, and survive one final hunt to reclaim a future that was stolen from her. But in a world where morality is murky and power is everything, the question looms: is Vash the monster she's told to believe - or just another pawn in Heath's deadly game? _______________ This follows the manga and semi inspirations from the 98' anime. Might make a reboot version following the Trigun Stampede version if I like this one.
The Serpent and the Unicorn: Books I and II
What if the Myth were real and everything else mattered not? What if your very soul hung in the balance? Enter a land where the Myth is real, but many have forgotten or scorn the Truth and those who fight to uphold it. The adventure is about to begin, for even those who fight for justice are about to rediscover why. This story is not just another tale of an orphan who finds a magic sword, discovers a forgotten lineage, finds a few friends, and conquers an overwhelming evil. This is a story that crosses a continent, transcends time, plunges deep into the very soul of man, and explores all the vastness and intricacies of life. It is a story of good and evil, love and war, truth and absurdity, courage and faith, hope and despair, humor and adventure, and everything that moves the human soul. Whether viewed as Truth or Myth, it is a tale to make one think and a story full of adventure, intrigue, love, sorrow, hope, and humor: much like this dance we call life. It is a fairy story in that it involves unicorns, dragons, and other uncommon beasts and certain aspects of magic, but it is also a human story that explores the questions, doubts, fears, and triumphs common to the hearts of men. The Brethren are an ancient brotherhood entrusted with preserving and disseminating knowledge, truth, and justice since time began; they have survived indifference, hostility, disaster, war, plague, and obscurity but ever they persevere in their age-old duties. Of late, they have fallen into obscurity due to over-caution and the forgetfulness of the people they serve. A strange encounter rouses them from their secrecy and sends one of their most talented agents into the heart of a sworn enemy only to unveil an even older and more dangerous foe.Complete

REDBOURNE
"I think, therefore I am. Nothing will stop me in my tracks. I will be the best... and prove that I am not strong just because of my blood, but because of who I am. My sword shall draw the names of my enemies in their own blood. The stadiums I saw built as a kid, will all rise up for me. One day, the Agaphian flag will honor me, not because I am the son of their legend, but rather a legend of my own." ================= Godseeker Artorius, the legendary war hero of the Agaphian federation, sought the sacred city of Cinderyn beyond the treacherous, blizzarding Silverstone Heights of Paterium. When he lost his life in that expedition, his son, Lucius seeks to succeed his late father in this arduous quest. He himself claims he feels nothing, struggling to understand emotions, apart from his unwavering resolve to seek strength and prestige that would surpass his father. Driven solely by ego, he believe he will be the best, therefore he truly will be. Yet that resolve was never invincible... A collective organization of bandits terrorizes Paterium, stealing not only bountiful harvests and carriages of gold, but lives of the people within this land. It is a golden opportunity to become a warrior like his father, but also the hero his father never was, and free himself from the bondage of the past.

Apostasian Revelations
What would you do if you were suddenly thrown powers befitting a God more than any mortal? Would you use them to better yourself, your community and society? Or would you wreak havoc upon our world? Or would you instead look far beyond our reality and breakthrough the construction for something brand new? A new world, all to yourself that too. That's what happened, and it was in the drizzle whilst feeding the pest that had wrecked havoc upon his humble backyard shack that he found a mystery larger than anyone can comprehend, an artifact immune to the irreversible corrosion of time, quite ironic that an unbreakable artifact fell upon his hands by accident, a man two steps away from death itself. Miguel didn't know at that time about how much of an effect the scroll would have upon his life, but whatever happens; he's now sure it'll be a merry one, either in this world, or the other one. Meanwhile in the world he had created, soft, peaceful and lush forests cover most areas of the continent with a very sparse population density, however Reggasia is anything but peaceful; and sparse. Reggasia is almost like another country to the rest of the people in the old kingdom, because it is; despite being the new capital district of culture it is now bleeding like a stuck pig, it's people starving and the wars the noblesse classes are waging aren't making anything better. As such, a greed driven young rogue takes things into his own hands and goes onto a journey that will take him across the entire district when his country and people are in danger, but will he be able to stop the conspiring nobles from taking over the entire continent? Or will his heart be pierced by the very same blade he gave unto this world seventeen hundred years ago? [#7 World Building.]Complete

The Silver Fighter | ✓
"I already killed your mother, Cam." As the words left my enemy's mouth like a mocking sneer, I growled under my breath at the mention of my old name. Memories started to boil up that I had been wanting to squash deep into my heart. Bad memories. "As you can guess, I'm here to finish the job." He continued with that ever-present sinister smirk on his face. And in that moment, a sudden burst of confidence just appeared within me. Or blatant stupidity. 'I'll take either one.' I silently admitted to myself. I rolled my eyes at his so-called 'threat', not really intimidated in the least. "Yeah, like that went so well the first time. The first time, you fucked up enough to get caught by the police." I pointed out. "The second time, your grown-ass men got their asses handed to them by two teenagers." I snorted at him. "Your odds aren't looking too good here, Berti." ~•~ Losing her father? Lovely. Getting in a car accident with her aunt, uncle, and cousin and being the sole survivor? Fantastic. Losing her mother because a deranged psychopath holds a grudge even better than The Grinch? Amazing. Being ostracized from her own family save from her paternal grandparents, and getting the blame for her mother's death? Cherry on top of the cake. Having to make sure three idiotic twats don't get themselves killed because they couldn't mind their own bloody business? Bloody hell, that's an entire ice cream cake with ten pounds of gummy bears. ~•~ Join Grace Stanton as she faces her demons and the demons of her past all while trying not to commit murder against her three new friends. Fun times.

The squad will face attacks from more than just the demon horde. And find themselves at a crossroads between duty to Centrum or duty to each other.
