A thousand years ago, in a forgotten age where sorcery still walked hand in hand with the earth, there existed a hidden world of witches and wizards. But their magic, though wondrous, was shadowed by fear. For mankind possessed a single weapon against them - a sacred flower capable of ending even the strongest wizard's life. And so, the innocent were hunted, while the wicked concealed themselves among the very people they tormented, leaving the burden of humanity's wrath to fall upon the good.
In the depths of an ancient forest lives a powerful but solitary wizard, a man who carries both fear and defiance in his heart. In secret, he labors to create a potion that will shield him should humans ever discover his existence. Yet his destiny changes the day a kind-hearted young woman stumbles upon him in pain and offers him aid. From that moment, her compassion becomes his undoing.
But jealousy betrayed them, and the wrath of villagers consumed them in flames.
Only the wizard rose again, reborn by the very potion he had perfected - cursed with immortality, yet bereft of the woman and child he loved. From his grief was born vengeance, and from vengeance, a revelation: the power to restore what was lost.
Now, torn between revenge and redemption, he must decide - will he burn the world that destroyed his happiness, or resurrect the one reason his soul still clings to hope?

My Last Breath (Book one of The Portal Series)
BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.Complete

Let me tell you a little story about a wizard, a wizard born and raised in the 19th century 1883 named, Alexander Allen Troy. A wizard who can do anything and everything. He's the most powerful wizard ever.. But sometimes his powers just don't work right. He can hop through dimensions, refill someones glass of water by tracing his finger on the top of the glass. Duplicate anything, fly, erase memories from peoples minds, literally anything. But he has trouble teleporting, increasing his own speed, and he is extremely awful at social interactions.... He wants to die, but it is impossible. The only way he can "die" is a bullet to the head or decapitation or something similar. But he wakes up shorty after, so he actually doesnt die.. He is often seen as a monster or criminal because he is a wizard which happens to other wizards too of which there aren't many left anymore. He cannot feel physical pain but he does feel that something happens. For example he gets stabbed and he can feel it, but it doesn't hurt. He also has trouble feeling any emotion sometimes. He ALWAYS tries to help people in anyway he can. All rights reserved Ⓒ Copyright 2022 LeiahRoo/wattpad Ⓒ But as soon as they see he is a wizard they are scared and disgusted.. Of course he could just erase that from their mind but he can't erase their reaction from his own and that hurts him. Hopefully someday he will find someone who isn't afraid of him... Or maybe even likes him.. Maybe just a little bit.. He supports all minorities and is pansexual. He can't use any of his powers on himself. He also has depression and anxiety. His memory is horrible as well. He always does all of his magic with his hands. Sometimes touching or holding things other times pointing or drawing patterns or circles of the things he's trying to create. (Someone's suggestion! Seems like a good book to write! Also, all this ^ is the person's suggestion so I used it as a bio! Besides the name and I changed it up a bit.)Complete

** I HAD TO WRITE THIS TO GIVE MY TAMLIN A CHANCE AT LOVE/HEALING. IT WAS LITERALLY EATING ME ALIVE SO PLEASE ENJOY IF YOURE A TAMLIN LOVER LIKE I AM😭 Also a few notes: I am working on continuing this and recently read through it and it needs some more editing, please forgive me for the typos. For some reason Prythian is spelled pythian about a thousand times, and Baron is Byron?? I don't know. I'm sorry lmao. ~Synopsis~ After losing everything, Tamlin had given up on hope of any sort. He isolated himself and sent everyone away, leaving him with nothing but his own tortured mind. One day, as he's trailing the woods, he stumbles upon a young woman, Eve, who was attacked by his own kind. He ends up saving her with what little magic he has to offer, and taking her back to his manor to give her a chance to heal. Eve has her own troubles back home which led her to the forest to begin with, and what was meant to be a short stay, becomes something far beyond that.

A Time Traveling Fairytale
Fate leads those who are willing but must push those who are not. One might interpret this saying a bit too literal. After all, Elena did end up on the bottom of a hill in the middle of a forest, suffering several injuries. But do not worry, fate loves a rebel and has something magical stored for our sarcastic heroine. Time travel. An adventure in the 16th century was not something our main character had in mind, but when her path is built with music and joy, it can't be that bad, right? Oh, who am I kidding. . . At first glance, it seemed to be the perfect fairytale for our main character; being able to experience the medieval time and be surrounded by enchantment wherever she went. She even meets a monk, blessed with the gift of music, who shares her passion and is willing to teach Elena the secrets of the piano. It's perfect. But it was only the tip of the iceberg. Elena's piece of tranquility is broken when she stumbles into another mess, leaving her caged and alone in the forest. Fortunately for our heroine, a prince crosses her path, helping her in her need. One might see this as the Universe's way for entertainment, or the fate's bizarre tactics to bring people together. Whatever it might be, it did not stop Elena from catching the eye of the prince of a powerful kingdom. Before anyone knows what's even happening, they're caught in the middle of it all; like a cat trapped in a yarn. After all, even the stone you trip on is a part of your destiny. What happens when the Universe, and basically everything between hell and heaven, is against you? Simple: it's a journey filled with unforgettable events. So buckle up, folks, because you are in for a ride of pirates, songs, chases, jokes, and a broken soul. After all, there is no flying from fate.Complete

Perennial: Book 1 Of The Bright Series
Amelia Bright has a special skill; when she talks to plants, they respond. Well, not immediately. But they grow better when she sits in her garden and has a chat. In a world where vampires hide in nightclubs and wizards advertise their services to a skeptical society via an ignored newspaper, Amelia retreats to a cottage she inherited from a reclusive aunt. It's a pretty good life for a millennial; a rent-free existence where your annoying neighbour is a bear, but when a man who calls himself Martin Everly shows up and starts leaving creepy garden gnomes in the forest behind the cottage, Amelia gets a pressing urge to lock up the cottage and never come back. What does Martin want? Will Amelia be able to shake that weird feeling before it forces her out of her lucky inheritance? And, perhaps more importantly, if a random guy advertising his services as a professional wizard can catch a break, is there a way to earn a living slowly growing happy plants?Complete
