"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors." - C.S. Lewis

The Redemption of Emberwake
A soldier, a cleric, a bard, a wizard, a barbarian, and a rogue. Not your average Thursday night TTRPG-inspired fantasy adventure. Follow K'ael, a tiefling rogue on the run from captivity at the hands of an evil warlock, through a sprawling adventure where found-family, love, and a little magic are just over the next bridge. *Important Update* Wow! Thank you all so much for the views! I am uploading an Author's Edition, so check that out if you'd like the revised story. Also, check out my Lore and Bonus Scenes collection for more insight into the adventuring party, Emberwake, and the country of Andorfel.Complete

Perhaps you've heard stories or tales about them passed down through generations. From the Greek and Roman to the Norse and Egyptian and many more.

Strong, popular, and charismatic, not to mention attractive, he's the ultimate power fantasy. He doesn't let anything get under his skin... Does he? Nico diAngelo, once upon a time the perfect little catholic boy, a shining example of pure, unwavering faith in the almighty father. That is, until tragedy struck, like she does for us all, and violently stripped him of his innocence. But that was almost four years ago. He should be fine... Shouldn't he? Two boys that haven't seen each other in years, that left on bad terms and are trying not to think about each other. Two boys convinced that they have nothing in common, that they screwed up so badly the first time, there's no way the other doesn't hate them now. New York is a big city, and Goode is a big school, obviously they'll be able to avoid each other indefinitely... Right? (TWs for: Abuse, neglect, alcoholism, religious trauma, depression, self harm, suicidal thoughts and actions (seriously, one of our boys tries to kill himself twice) homelessness, self-loathing, internalized homophobia, heavily implied sexual abuse, pregnancy, anxiety, panic attacks, and if there's anything else I forgot to mention, please tell me)Complete
