"Hopkins, your courage and willingness to fight is admirable, but in the current moment, it borders on idiocy."

"Captain Rhodes," Hopkins began. "I speak to you not with impertinence or lack of respect. No, I speak to you with a heart of passion, an undying love for my kingdom, a people for which I would give my life without a moment's hesitation."

Hopkins turned to face his fellow soldiers. "If we surrender here, who's to say we won't be dooming ourselves further down the road of conflict? Who's to say that this isn't the battle that could turn the tide of war?"

----------------------------

Captain Rhodes and his passionate, but also inexperienced, band of men have been stationed at a vital fort posted at the Southern border, safe from the conflict that rages up North. Or so they thought. When a scout returns from his rounds bearing grave news, the defense of the fort is left to Rhodes and his men. Loyalties are questioned, supplies run low, and reinforcements are still days away, that is, if reinforcements are even coming.Tutti i diritti riservati

REDBOURNE di Gumballthanos8

"I think, therefore I am. Nothing will stop me in my tracks. I will be the best... and prove that I am not strong just because of my blood, but because of who I am. My sword shall draw the names of my enemies in their own blood. The stadiums I saw built as a kid, will all rise up for me. One day, the Agaphian flag will honor me, not because I am the son of their legend, but rather a legend of my own." ================= Godseeker Artorius, the legendary war hero of the Agaphian federation, sought the sacred city of Cinderyn beyond the treacherous, blizzarding Silverstone Heights of Paterium. When he lost his life in that expedition, his son, Lucius seeks to succeed his late father in this arduous quest. He himself claims he feels nothing, struggling to understand emotions, apart from his unwavering resolve to seek strength and prestige that would surpass his father. Driven solely by ego, he believe he will be the best, therefore he truly will be. Yet that resolve was never invincible... A collective organization of bandits terrorizes Paterium, stealing not only bountiful harvests and carriages of gold, but lives of the people within this land. It is a golden opportunity to become a warrior like his father, but also the hero his father never was, and free himself from the bondage of the past.

The Humanoid ~Vash x OC AU~ di NoelRoss777

~Vash x OC AU~ Book 2 of 3 *Began: Monday, April 22, 2024* *Finished: Wednesday, August 7, 2024* Sometimes... Sometimes I have nightmares. Nightmares that I wake from in the middle of the night, sweat-soaked hair clinging to my neck as my chest heaves. Nightmares with unknown ghosts and the haunting shrieks ripping through darkness. Nightmares that are so real that I almost believe they are real. They are never real, though. Nightmares of shooting stars made of fallen debris crumbling from a tower. Nightmares of screaming sirens and pounding feet and flashing red lights as military police fill the streets. Nightmares of tears drenching my cheeks as I scream out into the void. And then nightmares of him laughing as hell rain down around us. I wonder if he has nightmares too. **NOTE: I do NOT own any of the media (pictures/photos/videos/music/etc.) or any characters (other than the OC - and other OC characters) in this book.

The Last Connection: Blessing from Above di TyMattler

500 years ago, not one soul could find peace from the wars raging between realm's power hungry rulers. To save the realm from complete self-destruction, the Gods made mankind a promise: Whoever can make peace between themselves shall bring about a blessing on the realm for a dozen generations. And so it was. 14 aging Kings of the western coast made peace and formed 3 empires. 11 ambitious Dukes arranged marriages to form 9 new kingdoms. 8 proud Lords of the lake settled their feuds and divided the lakeside. 4 greedy Masters of the mining colonies established the mining confederation. 3 holy Priests united the true worshipers to found a ministry governed state. And so the Gods blessed them, connecting souls across the realm so they may share knowledge, skills and companionship. But a dozen generations have passed and the Blessed have not been seen in decades, becoming nothing more than a story. But the story is not finished yet. To remind the realm of the chaos and destruction birthed by war, the Gods showered the realm with meteors as 8 newborns received the last Blessing of the Lords. As the last children to be touched by the Gods, they will be hunted by those who long for chaos to engulf the realm. They will be tempted to use their shared knowledge for their own gain. But if the realm is to survive, they must use their skills to strengthen each other and end the conflict before it can begin. A naive princess and a vengeful slave. A high-born priestess and an orphaned thief. A reserved hunter and an ambitious acrobat. A noble knight and a crooked smuggler.

Medic x Reader ~ My Shining Star 🌟 di Mari_RoseEeeE

[ Location : New Mexico; Teufort City ] Muffled screams could be heard from a mile away. Clacking of feet trailed behind the panic. "Get that bloody bogan!" Sniper shouted, carrying his Hitman's Heatmaker. Following behind him was Spy, shouting, "Oh mom dieu! After this, I am going to be visiting your mother!!!". Running behind spy was a sentry of what looked to be a Heavy. The blu Pyro glanced around quickly and saw a blu Teleporter to the right of him. He ran as fast as he could, entering the Teleporter and to safety. "We'll get em' next time, mates. Don't need to worry, that mongrel prolly' didn't get far anyway." Sniper reassured. They all headed back to the rest of the battle. [SIDE NOTE] Hey guys! So if you read this, here's a side note. I am not totally accurate with these characters and I'm not totally accurate with the map. I do these stories because I enjoy writing them. I tried my best to do research and make the story fit as best as I could. Also I am not the best writer, so I'm sorry if I made a mistake in spelling or punctuation. I tried to organize the text, too. I made sure you can read the dialogue without having to "search" for it in a conundrum of words. That's always annoying. Please don't yell at me if you didn't like the ending, or how an event played out. It's really my story, so I can do what I want with it. That's all I really have to say. I know, I had to say a lot. XD Enjoy your read~ -Marina 🍋

"Goodbye Curly Head" di NUmaker

Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)

Demonstown di TheGhostofEphesus

**Updates Fri** (hopefully) **A Collection of Short Stories** On the northern coast of Vittenstock province lies Drevston, subject to all the cold seasonal winds and tides and the rough elements. A once-flourishing industrial town, Drevston has now deteriorated into a shambling spot of crime, shady business and dark magic, and earned the nickname Demonstown. Out of this emerges a group of peopled called the *contractors*, well-versed in various skills including combat, diplomacy and magic, running high-risk, high-reward errands for the more powerful people of Demonstown. 567 Catherine Square, an unassuming little house squashed between equally unassuming little houses along one side of the square, is home to one of those contractor organizations: the Order of Prometheus. Secretive, constantly short-staffed and fighting to make ends meet, they seem no different from the other contracting offices sprinkled in the streets of Demonstown. They, too, are subject to the storm that's brewing across town, but there are some reasons why we chose to talk about them...

Thunder bay was a peaceful city, the weather was good, the people that lived there were nice and everyone got along with each other. Well... except for me. It wasn't bad, but I would rather have died than stay one more day in this city, at least I used to think like that, but everything changed after that night. "I was not fast enough, the boys reached me, and I was trapped. One of them was holding me down on the ground and the other was standing near recording everything" "I heard a car stopping near and someone screaming at them to stop, I didn't know who it was, but it was powerful enough to provoke fear in them.Next thing I knew Ivarsen Torrance was by my side" "He picked me up in his arms and took me to the car and at some point I fell asleep but the last words I heard Ivarsen say to me, were that he would protect me till the end of times" This is a Dark Romance fanfic and is 18+! Contains scenes that can generate triggers, cursing, sex scenes, violence and alcohol consumption
