This is the reason why I did this book:
Dragons are great lovers of riddles, and see them as intellectual and linguistic challenges. But remember: dragons will probably know the ancient riddles. So do not ask them the Riddle of the Sphinx if you are in danger, for they will answer it too easily. An angry dragon may be pacified by a riddle challenge-accepting the outcome of the riddle contest. The old master riddlers often used to disguise their riddles as nursery rhymes, knowing that in this way they would be passed through the generations. In this book I have listed some riddles that may be in use in times of need. The rules are simple. Ask a riddle in turn until one of you cannot answer. The challenger goes first. Perplex your adversary and you will gain the upper hand!

Lies Of A Thousand Lives 【COMPLETED】
Highest renk #3 in science fiction BOOK #1 OF "THE THOUSANDS" SERIES "You wrote that prophecy." I accused her, narrowing my eyes at her. "Yes... I did." Can somebody just slap her in the face? "It was my best composition. And that says something, since I'm actually a modest girl. The prophecy about Donald Trump was literally: Be aware of the Cheetos running for president. I was lazy at the time." She shrugged. *** If you're looking for a hero, turn around and go look somewhere else pal, because this one here ain't one. And yet again, Angus is dragged into a life that has him so confused with all the monsters trying to adopt him, and ghosts flirting with him and zombie centaurs and prophecies and BLOODY MEDUSA!!! To don't mention that damned parasite soul in him that gets angry when Angus refuses to die. Like seriously?!!! Always forgetting his sword when running to his death, with his jeans falling off at the worst time possible, the sarcasm that will probably get him killed one day and being the annoying piece of sh-anyway... Angus has to fight against himself and Ancient spirits to get alive out of this mess. But like the mighty and powerful Doctor Strange once said: "Try me Beyoncé."Complete

But, unexpectedly, Arabella shows up at Hogwarts, very much alive, and Tom is determined to find out how. ••• Tom Riddle was a powerful orphan. Conceived under the influence of a love potion, he could not feel love. But he wanted to rule forever. He wanted to live. Arabella Chambers was a cursed vampire.

Perhaps that was the only vague, useless excuse she could find to not kill him for stealing her wand, but it was enough."
The cherry Flower Witch (Twisted wonderland x Reader)
#1 in Disney twisted wonderland 10/6/2020 "Child, In this world we live in if you're a witch, Celestials want to kill you, People want to kill you, even other Witches want to kill you too," Sighed an elderly witch. As she gently stroked the hair of a child witch. A Witch who was still new and Naive to the world. "Child, you are lucky to be born as strong as you are, but you'll still find yourself at the mercy of fellow Witches or even stronger witches," the elder explained. "What must I do to get stronger?" Asked the innocent child. "You could train and sharpen your craft, but at the risk of being caught and killed. Or you eat the soul of a fellow witch and take their strength as your own," The elder said sadly. "Is that all there is to be a witch, Is there no place of safety?" The young witch sobbed. "There was a pace my father spoke of. A place where magic was everything. From their history to their way of life. He said he was brought there in a coffin by a black carriage and was brought there to learn magic. He returned to our word to lead us to this haven, but the way back was locked, and he could never return to that place. That place he called Twisted Wonderland," I do not own Disney Twisted wonderlandComplete
Swoosh - a book of breezy poetry
Some of the least poetic poems you'll ever read, written by, you guessed it, me! These are some thoughts and feelings that I tried to put into words. I started writing poetry regularly back in January, so the poems in this book kind of tell the story of my life in 2018, since that's when I wrote them (except for the first seven poems, which I wrote in the summer of 2017, plus a few others that I indicate are old). Some of them are kinda random though. Warning: contains whining about my ex, anxiety, being nostalgic, and being very emotional. May cause varying levels of cringing. {Completed November 29 2018}Complete
The Days With No Sun
Sometimes we fear truth over reality. But things get dark and heavy and we play the blame game. We end up hurting others or ourselves even. We don't think before we act or we don't say before we do.

Everything is written how I wanted it to be rants will be long with few pauses and there will be mistakes I might have skipped over. Aha. Poems at the beginning from when I was 15 years old to now when Im 18. Truly a visual of my writing evolution. Edited by @ChemicalStarling who writes a lot but never posts! Read on, loves. I'll see you on the other side...Complete

Alice in Wonderland Impossible Thoughts.
This is a collection of poems with the construction of "six lines . " They were written daily during my summer of 2012/13 ( southern hemisphere ) when I was first participating on wattpad as a regular. I posted six poems everyday with a crazy challenge of writing a ridicules number of poems over a short period of time. All the poems are inspired by the Lewis Carroll's classic Alice in Wonderland one of the first books I read as a young person, in fact as a teen. Before the age of 12 years my reading skills where non-existent because of learning difficulties, so when I finally did read a whole book right through Alice was it. So Alice hold's a special place in my heart and soul because of this fact. I hope you enjoy the reading of this failed collection as I do not think I have actually finished this challenge. If someone out there would like to count and let me know, please. How many more poems do I need to write?Complete
