Ryoku Nagami was one of many young children trying to grow up on the oppressive Iron Pier. One fateful day Ryoku loses a stick fight against an older boy who was trying to prove something. An onlooker,  the mysterious Magician, sees the fight and is impressed with Ryoku's fighting. He offers to take Ryoku with him and promises him a future of significance if he chooses to do so. The Magician has a plan. A storm is coming. Sometimes the best way through the storm is to steer directly into it. 

This story is based on prompt 82 from the ONC2021 contest. 
- Age and wisdom are certainly not mutually exclusive, but when a case of mistaken identity results in a teen taking charge of a small nation, who knows what might happen!

I plan to make a small twist the the prompt in that the Ryoku assumes the identity and physical appearance of one of the tribal princes. This leads his people to "mistake" him for the actual prince  which is all part of the Magician's plot.

This is the first story I've ever written so I welcome any and all feedback. I prefer to post updates in groups so I can do some light editing before posting. Even if there is some time without an update, I am committed to finishing the 20,000 word contest. Hope you enjoy!

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited. Cover credit goes to @CeeMTaylor. Go check out her books too if you like Dark Fantasy Romance-she writes some pretty incredible stuff! Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated.

With the Kingdom Heir coming-of-age celebration fast approaching, the search for a match begins. It is decreed a dance will be held; an anonymous masked ball. !!! THIS STORY IS FOR A CONTEST!!! ~~~ 12 princes 4 weeks 1 choice What can go wrong? Everything! The last thing Elide wanted in her life was to choose her other half according to her father's rules. 12 princes from all over the Kingdom of Amaris and other kingdoms have come to test their luck... But nothing is easy for Elide, especially when her father has the right to make the final choice. But don't let that bring you down because Elide has a plan. She is going to escape this choosing... The news of 4 murders in one night has been spread all over the kingdom. That is nothing weird on a huge kingdom, right? Wrong! 4 princes have been murdered, no one knows who did this, people have chosen their suspects but nothing makes sense. The biggest question is how all 4 princes who were part of the forced-choosing were murdered. As if this is not enough more trouble lines itself in Elide's life, someone's behind her life. A trap is been set. Does she fall for it? Only time can tell. What happens with everyone is really hard to tell......but I can only give one warning: Appearances can be deceptive. ~~~ Co-written by me (@bo0k__nerd) and @shub2005
