An anthology of the fantastic; tales of magic, of freedom, of peace, of war, of love and loss, of vengeance, of adventure. It's like opening a chest in Skyrim; you never know what'll be inside.
Basically, it's where any ideas or musings I have can find a home, even if they're very short or not even complete stories. They're all Fantasy, and I hope they're all worth the short amount of time it takes to read them, and worth coming back for more.
I want to offer special thanks to @meganbonn_ for designing such a wonderful cover for me!

Convenant: Mysteries untold
--- Prologue: When Time Bled In the beginning, the world was silent. The rivers had not yet carved the earth. The skies had not yet known the sun. All that existed was Time-endless, unbroken, untamed. From that void, a figure stepped forth. Cloaked in eternity, crowned by shadows, he was the first to name himself Lord. The Lord of Time. With a gesture, he unraveled nothingness into hours, minutes, seconds. With a breath, he bound stars to their paths, chained suns to their cycles, and shackled mortals to the fleeting measure of their days. But even Time cannot reign without hunger. And so he reached beyond his dominion, seeking vessels in which to pour his power-creatures, mortals, children who might one day carry fragments of his eternity. Most shattered beneath the weight. One did not. From the loins of man and the womb of woman, he planted a seed: an heir. A child of two worlds. Flesh and blood... and eternity. Yet fate has always been cruel. The mother, cast into the desolate Survival Lands, bore her son in exile. She fed him with her hands, shielded him with her body, and prayed he would never hear the ticking of the father's clock within his veins. But the Lord of Time does not forget. For though the world may bleed and the stars may crumble, every hour returns to him. Every path converges at his throne of broken hours. And when the child of covenant rises, his steps shall echo across timelines, shattering bonds, forging pacts, and tearing open mysteries long untold. The covenant has already been written. The question is only this: Will he break it-or be broken by it? ---
House of Ash and Gold
Power wears many faces. Magic is just one of them. When a sickly noble heir stumbles upon a strange gift - the ability to see through the veil of power. He sets out to rebuild his crumbling house, not with sword or spell... but with silver, strategy, and secrets. But in a Kingdom where strength is currency and weakness gets buried, Cael Varissen must learn fast: wealth is fragile, war is inevitable, and magic? It's far older and hungrier than anyone cares to admit. What if the most dangerous magic wasn't in spells, but in shrewd business deals... and dangerous alliances of the heart? In a world where political ambition, economic strategy, and forbidden desires hold as much sway as any ancient power, every alliance comes with a price. This is the heart of House of Ash and Gold. ... What to expect: Slow-burn political fantasy with teeth Layered worldbuilding A subtle, mysterious magic system Romance threaded through ambition What NOT to Expect: Instant overpowered MC Fast-food pacing Harem or shallow romance One-note villains Endless exposition dumps
Drifting Embers {Magics Fanfiction/AU} Book 4
[DISCONTINUED - OLD AND OUTDATED] A beast in a mythological story has one sole purpose. One sole path of destiny which was given to it from birth. Provide an obstacle for the protagonist to sway them away from the road of certain doom, only for the beast to be slain and defeated in the name of rightful justice and heroism. But what if the beast was the protagonist of its own story? What if the brave human that everyone adored and sympathized for as the villain and a monster? They've been called beasts and monsters before. But this time, they shall strike out and show the world that it is their view that is twisted and demented. They will rise above the stereotypical conspiracies. They will start fires from the sparks of rumors. They are the heroes of their own story. A story not written in the books but in their hearts with nothing but the pen and ink of experiences. Of knowledge. Of conditioning. Of misunderstanding. ~The original Magics series belongs to @shadowed-savior/Fan_FictionGirl2. I'd advise reading those and Like a Fire Burns, Smoke and Ashes, and World Ablaze before reading this story, as many events that are mentioned are not included in this book. Read at your own risk~ -This story is rated Mature for violence, gore, psychological and physical torture, and themes that may be triggering for the audience. Nothing inappropriate, just lots of blood, some death, and traumatic experiences.-Concluida
The Child of No Nation
This story is based on historical facts and author's imagination. Do not mistake the facts as reality. Enjoy! Genre & Tone: Dark, emotional, and introspective but with glimpses of hope. It leans toward a slow-burning coming-of-age story with fantasy/adventure elements. The kid's journey has weight-he's not just adventuring, he's surviving, learning, and finding identity. The tone balances tension, subtle sadness, and moments of warmth. Theme: Identity, survival, and legacy. It's about someone growing up without a clear place in the world ("No Nation"), navigating trauma, and slowly discovering purpose. At its core, it's a story of resilience and self-discovery. Plot Style: Episodic, with character-focused arcs. The story builds gradually-the ending scene where he tells a story to younger kids and finally reveals his name as Isaac is symbolic. It's about him claiming his own identity and leaving a mark on others, showing how he's grown from an anonymous, possibly lonely child into someone who inspires or connects with others. Characterization: Isaac is complex-he has a vulnerable, "lost" side, but also a curious, clever, and ultimately bright/bubbly side that occasionally peeks through. His personality develops through interactions with the world, and the story slowly reveals his internal growth. Atmosphere: Think bittersweet and mysterious, sometimes tense or lonely, with soft moments of light and warmth to contrast the darkness. The ending is cathartic-a subtle but satisfying reveal of who he truly is.Concluida

Expanded Horizons: Beyond the Blue
The world consists of far more than a few people, and far more than just what you see of them now. All characters have a past, a story, some piece of themselves hidden by time that makes clear who they are today. These hidden aspects can be revealed by more than just their stories, too; sometimes, what happens off-screen is even more important than what's on display. Follow me through the world our heroes and villains inhabit and see just how far we can go together! -This is all backstory and world-building for the Freelands of Into That Wild Blue Yonder (https://www.wattpad.com/story/214070883-into-that-wild-blue-yonder).

CATA-CLIMB
[TV SCRIPT] After years of humanity eating away at it's own resources the United Nations collapsed throwing our world into turmoil, Famine and thirst ravaged forcing mankind into a new era of greed and virtue, Now bolstering up was a new beginning for us to face, No longer were we firmly placed at the top of the food chain we found ourselves the ones being hunted, Due to radical science and research across the globe, Viruses continued to uncontrollably spread mutating everything they came in contact with, Three of these viruses stood toppling the rest which would come to be known as The Rot, The Altered, and The Plagued, Survival and ignorance led us down a path of isolation only growing to further one's individual standpoint, We left control of our world to governments who turned their backs furthering personal ambition, Not preventing for what would happen to the masses in a calamity, As a result the Cataclysm hit changing our world forever, An anomaly between untested atomic experiments interfused with particle matter and energy caused a gaslight explosion simultaneously struck across the world, Mutating any living creature outside during this event, Drastically changing in ways unexplainable until witnessed in the flesh, As a result humanity was withered down to only twenty percent of its once dominant population, Strung out and cornered into colonisations after years of rebuilding we attempt to adapt rather then conquer, Surviving in this new reality we've been tested to outlast, Spread across the world which was we remain thinly divided, All which was known has now become scarce or deemed extinct, Humans now find themselves on the edge of a losing battle further suffering in this dark abyss we're forced to walk through, Adapting is key to thriving in this new cutthroat environment which we have been tasked to liveConcluida
