Living in a community of pacifist elves Noralor is only just learning what religion and faith means.
The strict rules of her people aren't hard for her to follow and she's determined to prove that she can rise above their expectations.
But when their town is attacked Nora is shown that religion isn't as easy as she thought it would be. What will happen when she is forced to choose between those she loves and the religion she's worked so hard to follow.

I'm creating my very first D&D character and I want to experiment with who she is as a person and where I can go with her.
I am religious and I'm also exploring some religious perspective so I guess I'll have some self-discovery as well! So, no when I'm talking about faith I don't mean to insult religious people. That would be hypocritical as I am one of them. I'm just hoping to put some of my thoughts into words.
WARNING: I am very very very very new to D&D and am still reading the handbook. I will probably do stuff wrong.
Hopefully a cover is coming soon!

(This story is an interconnected standalone that I wrote with a friend. If you want to read her story reach out to me, hers follows Cahira, a really prominent character in this story, as she adapts and grows but from a brawns pov. Keep in mind that it is still in the throws of being edited and is still being written. Constructive criticism is appreciated and please point out any plot holes that you notice. :) )
Pact of the Gods - The Call of Strength
Important Story Info: This story follows the war goddess Sylver and contains battle scenes. (While the scenes aren't overly graphic, I wanted to provide a heads-up in case you're sensitive to such content.) Gods. Their names echo throughout the universe. They're the ones who shape fate, who control the fates of worlds. But what happens when a god doesn't do their job? When they put everything at risk? Let me tell you a story - one that's older than time itself. Out there, in the endless stretch of the cosmos, there are countless universes and worlds. Each god watches over their own. But a long time ago, during one of the god's gatherings, something happend that shook everything to its core. Osiris, the goddess of fertility, kept a deadly secret: her world was.. "What do you mean? What did Osiris hide?" Hahaha ... "Well, my child, that's something you'll have to discover for yourself.."
The Demon's Deal
When a personal grudge threatens to endanger the lives of not only himself but of all the people he holds dear, Seamus the half-orc is forced to enlist the help of his friends in order to deal with the threat. Yet not all is as it seems, and the journey eventually forces him to make an impossible choice. For exactly how wise is it to put your trust in a demon's word? ---------------------------------------------- NOTE from the writer: This is the short story I wrote based on a D&D arc in the game I run as a dungeon master. I plan to release a chapter every week, sort of episodic! It is also the spark that eventually led me to publish my first novel: The Lady's Gift - Part One of the Chosen Saga. I posted this as an example of my writing style, so if you like this, be sure to check out the novel through my profile and blog link! Hope you enjoy, and any criticism or comments are very, very welcome.Complete
A Song of Faithless Shadows
Gwyneth had always felt connected to her faith, a higher power presiding over her. That faith had shaken that devastating day those years ago, the day that went on to haunt her every nightmare for years to come. She's still trying to come back from it, to not only restore her faith in life and love, but her faith in herself. The sanctity of her spirit- she prayed for resolve. Every punch was a prayer. Every mile was a hymn. Until her knuckles bled and her knees gave. Azriel had been surrounded by darkness his whole life, a poison on his world, on his being. He exercised restraint in his every waking moment, banishing that darkness within himself. Some guessed of the strain it put on him, but no one knew the extent of it, how deep his scars ran. It was better this way, he was sure. He had always thought that if there were a higher power- which he wholly doubted- such deities must loathe him to have burdened him such darkness. He hadn't much faith in the gods anyway, much less faith that he could sway their opinion on him. But Gwyneth and Azriel did have one thing in common: the quiet fight within themselves. They only knew one way: to go about it alone, couldn't fathom letting another in. But there's a magic in finding someone who is your equal but opposite, something transforming. And frankly, Gwyneth and Azriel could both use a little magic. All characters owned by SJM in the ACOTAR series. Story takes place after the events of ACOSF. Aligns with the events in my other fic: A Storm of Flames and Deceit. I haven't finished Crescent City, so this story takes place outside of the events of those books as well.

A Whole Different Life (Book I)
"What would you rather? Floating in eternal darkness or...serving me? As my champion?" "Honestly? Neither, why in the world would I choose to be a servant in my next life?!" "Hm, then I suppose-" "Wait, I wasn't finished." She let out a sigh, trepidation heavy in my mind. She's spent her entire life in a world that was 50/50 for her...school was rough but she had companions. Her home life was great but it had its ups and downs. She was beautiful! But...she didn't feel that way. Perhaps another life could give her that? A sense of renewal, a chance to be someone better and greater than the person she originally was. "But! I'll take the latter, I could use a change. A chance to be a different me is always appreciated. After all, it's not like I'm going to be a world-renowned hero right?" ___________ What happens when you die? Do you go to a religious after-life? Do you simply float in black nothingness or do you wake up in the body of another person? Well...for 17-year old Eos Theodoric, a girl who died in a tragic car accident, she knows the answer. Waking up in the body of an animal in service to an Animal Guardian who lives in a different world known as Balerion! Get ready for this one, a fantasy life isn't what it seems!
