A collection of one-shots and short stories revolving around my own creations. The land of Ithierien is in the middle of a great war. According to the Finishers, that is. Magic has been outlawed for centuries, deemed unsafe for the human population after an infamous wizard gained the ability to control any creature with mystical blood and nearly wiped out all human life. The king of the time, Hadmaine Finisher, commissioned a magical mirror that could reflect any magic that was dealt with it. In the final battle, the wizard was defeated. This mirror, however, shattered into three separate pieces. These pieces were then fastened into the gem of a ring, the hilt of a sword, and the face of a shield. Each item was given to a trusted Finisher to protect and lead, thus the Reflectors were born. The first order of business, to seek out and destroy all magic so that they may never again have to face certain death. With many of the magical species already depleted and suffering, the witch trials that the Finishers started were devastating. Any species other than human was highly regulated and tormented. Anyone, human or not, found practicing magic was sent to trials that usually led to execution. Now, the Finisher's rule is law. Establishing themselves as a totalitarian government, they police the streets of every town in the name of protection. Those in the Finisher clan have a duty to their brethren, enforced with a strict upbringing and code system. Yet, despite their thoroughness, rebellion still lurks.

I'm sorry, but I'm only one of thousands of victims of the blatant and egregious plagiarism and copyright infringement made by the repulsive website I found my content on.*** For millennia, a magical barrier around the Sand Sea prevented an endless force of darkness from drowning the world. As long as the barrier held, the world was allowed to forget about the shadowbeasts of legend. Until now. Gale, a young mage-in-training aching to prove herself, is sent on a simple job to handle the purported animal attacks the desert people seem unable to fend off any longer. Believing the tales of shadowbeasts to be superstitious fancy, she expects to encounter nothing more than mirages and whispers on the wind. What she finds is hatred given form and vengeance given flesh, waiting for the moment to strike. The barrier is weakened, wavering, and an ancient enemy is gathering its strength to break free of its eternal prison. Gale must find a way to restore the barrier, or else die in a war millennia in the making.
