Briseis of Pedasus is a princess with a dual fate. She is the daughter of an unknown goddess and a king obsessed with legacy. A legacy Briseis is unable to continue, much to her father's dismay. As the Trojan War begins, Briseis accepts a quest to kill a man in the name of a goddess who wants glory, and if Briseis succeeds, the curse upon her house will be reversed. This is a story of parents and children, love and hate, hope and dismay as characters question if it's impossible to change the fates which have been decreed for them.

AUTHOR TAKING A BREAK FROM THIS STORY WILL GET BACK TO IT IN LATE SUMMER OF 2025 

This is the first draft of this story. I participated in the Wattpad Bootcamp Mentorship Program which pairs mentees with mentors to work on a story of the mentee's choosing. This is the story I worked on with my mentor and it contains none of the changes which will be in the final draft. I hope you enjoy reading this first version : ) and I hope readers will be interested to read the final draft once it's finished. 

A deeper dive into the classic love story of the Trojan War, based on the poem I wrote also called Achilles&Briseis. The poem can be found on my profile if you would like to read it. The poem contains some spoilers for story lines that will appear in the novel. 

I feel compelled to say this story will not be a traditional retelling of the Iliad. This story is going to be something new among the conflicts we all know well from many years of the Iliad being told. If you are looking for a story more in keeping with the original poem, this is not that story. Many things will be changed, many things will be unfamiliar, and we are going somewhere no story of the Trojan War has gone before. 

If you see this story anywhere besides Wattpad please make me aware. This is the only place I post stories. I don't have multiple accounts on this site, so this is the only profile this story should be posted on. Thank you, readers.All Rights Reserved

A Little Stowaway by Mo_Jo_JoJo

*editing while I write, but still legible I swear to the moon and back* Oh dear, whatever will cute little Phoebe do, when big bad meanies are in every dark alleyway corner, preying on her tiny body like the predators they are. She'll shove them through a wall and break their limbs...that's exactly what she'll do. Four year old orphaned Phoebe is force sensitive, a strong one yet she doesn't know it, she just believes she has super powers. She's always running and hiding, stowing away on whatever ship she deems safe enough and jumping from planet to planet, in search of what? She doesn't really know. However, bigger, badder meanies find her out and they know how to professionally catch their prey. How will little Phoebe be treated? Will she ever find what shes looking for? Will she not only break limbs, but dark empty hearts? * I don't own the Star Wars franchise, pictures, songs, books mentioned. They are purely suggestions for the storyline. ** Thomas Mason colored the cover art. The comic creator who uses the uncolored version for 'The Rise of Kylo Ren' is named Charles Soule. I couldn't find or figure out if it was one of these same guys who actually drew it, it's the cover of a comic book. *** This is purely just Fan fiction and not to be taken seriously or be fully related to real world problems. **** This is a platonic relationship, Phoebe is 4 (pretty obvious), and I just love grown men being sweet and fatherly towards small humans. ***** There will be foul language, mentions of child abuse, unhealthy habits, and mental issues. Drama and angst in all it's glory, please be mature about it. ****** From writer to writer, no one likes their hardwork being taken for somebody elses personal gain, it's abominable, scummy, dishonest, and there is no honor in it what so ever. Karma is a bee-otch. Anyways, I hope ya enjoy this cute thing I whipped up. Comment, vote, whatever, just be respectful and treat others how you wanna be treated. :D

(Not) written in the stars! by GhostQueenTW

Find out what happens when fate makes the path of a warrior and the president of a famous MC collide. Alexia Wyatt My life hadn't been easy; in fact, I have secrets that I have hidden for years. People take my attitude as shy or stuck up, but they don't know what is under the surface. I honestly don't care what people think of me. I am content with my solitary life, helping those who need it. I never planned to meet a man who could awaken the woman in me, and for sure never expected that man to be as cruel as the man I escaped from so many years ago. If this is what fate wants for me, I am not OK with it. Ty Lombardi Some people believe in fate. They claim our paths are pre-written and that somehow, we eventually will bump into the love of our lives. I don't believe in any of that crap. I can't accept that some powerful being wrote that I would fall in love with the perfect woman to lose her only two years later during a stupid accident. And I am even more against the idea that suddenly fate decided to give me a second chance with an instant family that I wasn't expecting. I refuse to accept my future is written in the stars, and I won't welcome this new opportunity for love.

The First Goddess, Alexis - Kronos's First Born by Scrach3465

So... We all know-how Kronos killed his father, Ouranos. Then how Ouranos cursed Kronos. Then Kronos ate his children, then the whole Titans-Vs-Gods war happened and the gods won. Then 5 millennia later Percy Jackson was born (blah, blah, blah). But if we look back 7 millennia before he was born. About a millennia after Kronos killed his father, Kronos had one more surprise for us. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is not about Percy Jackson, but he will come in as a side character.

Hell Is An Empty Heart (Book One of The Triple Moon's Chronicles) by AnnamitaMuscaria

A goddess is taken to the underworld as the king's bride; her father knew everything and her mother knew nothing. In this retelling of the Hymn of Demeter, mother and daughter will do whatever it takes to free themselves, no matter the cost. Book I of The Triple Moons' Chronicles * Up in the sky, in a world between myths and lies, lives a daughter caged on an island. She is Persephone. The beautiful Persephone, whom every Olympian god wants to marry-they all want her beauty to conceal their ugliest secrets, but only Hades manages to take her to his realm. He dwells below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of Blest. No mortals can see his forbidden land until they pass away. Forced into marriage by her father Zeus, Persephone would resign from her fate. But when her grieving mother, Demeter, comes close to killing all the mortals, Zeus orders her back to her homeland. Given and returned against her will, Persephone takes charge of her life and eats six pomegranate seeds before leaving. Food from the underworld can't be eaten as it will tie one to the land. As her decision pushes her closer together and apart from her loved ones, Persephone's destiny turns worse. Only she may have the power to change her world for the better. *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.
