Follow a magical archivist as she spends her days in towns and/or cities where she either ends up saving the world without anyone knowing, does some book collecting, eat some bread (because bread is life), and does more collecting. Did I mentioned eating bread? She also eats bread.

Side Note/Disclaimer: I wrote this for an internship application that had a 2000 word maximum (I believe). So this incomplete story is just that. A short story just less than 2000 words. 

Writing this story was like pulling teeth. It also felt like it didn't quite want to be written... So until I get a flash of inspiration or the desire to actually write the rest of this story, it will remain incomplete). 

Please read and review 
Or just leave a comment about whatever :)

Short Story 1 Jack Kilver was the greatest adventurer in human history. Once he heard of a place that was so harsh that not even the terrible monsters outside the city dared not to go into it he knew he must be the first. He would accomplish the impossible Unfortunately, things never go as planned. Short Story 2 Things has been changing in the city ever since the new of Jack Kilver. Especially Emily's work, the company built by the woman who has moved humanity further in the future. She feels more devoted and passionate about her work. She just can't figure out why... Short Story 3 In a place where the trees block out all sunlight, there is a lonely building. Within this building, you'd find all manner of monsters and beasts. Sometimes, even monsters want to go where every one knows their name. Short Story 4 Lily lived a happy but simple life in her village, despite the war against the magical beasts of world still raging. When the war finally reaches the village, she expected her life to end with her family. She never expected a man to appear and offer her a deal. Tales Of Wonder are short stories that are tied in to a novel I've had in my head for years. They are related to the novel and each other. These stories are mainly to motivate me and to test out different writing styles. Each short story will be written in different styles. They take place in a world where magic and science combine. The first story here, I admit leaves the rules of the world and how everything works a little vague but each short story will add more and eventually the novel will tie up the magic system. Any feedback is welcomed. Of course, let me know if you want more stories.

This story begins in the country of Britannia. A country where several certain races live with one another. And at the center of these races stood a girl. A beautiful girl with wild molten hair and eyes that reflected the universe. She was the creation of love and the child of wilderness. She was someone full of wisdom, wisdom she had gathered from centuries of experience. Many don't know how she was born, some saying that she was the daughter of the blazing sun while others say that she was born from ashes during an alluring eclipse. The name they called her? Malaika Kya. Angel from the diamond sky. For eons she wandered, visiting many kingdoms and gaining many friends. She battled battles that many would have died from, protecting those she holds dear. Slowly, her family began to grow. Person by person, home by home, kingdom by kingdom. Her heart spreading the biggest of wings. But then it happened. The one she loved most was attacked, almost dying because of someone's idiocy. And so she fought. She fought for her dying family, soon gaining the powers of the internal flame buried deep inside her. Screeching her painful cry, she fought in her new form with all her might. But it wasn't enough as it's hand sprouted from her body. Tears fell from the eyes of her lover, his eyes wide as he watched her body wither in pain. Hey dark eye were gentle a she watched his physical pain disappear, his wounds sealed shut as he snatched her closer one more time. Softly she apologized, saying words she wanted so badly to say before sealing their goodbye with a kiss. After one last smile, she disappeared into the fire below, her body dissipating into the molten flames as her words echoed into the soundless wind. "Mind telling me about that promise again?"
Providence by Elmusfire
15 parts Complete Mature
a rebellious teenage girl is sent on a pilgrimage to atone for her sins. Contains violence and dark content. Excerpt (chapter 2): Erin looks again at her plate. "It probably tastes way better than this crap." She throws her fork down. It hits the metal table with a loud clattering noise. "I can't believe I basically sold my soul in exchange for this." Gwen is taken aback, her eyes wide. "What do you mean, sold your soul? You didn't summon a demon or something, did you?" Her voice shivers a bit. "I knew you were an heretic, but that would be quite far, even for you!" Erin laughs. "No, not like that, Gwen. The church agreed to reinstate my food privileges and erase my rap sheet if I went on a pilgrimage tomorrow." "Oh," Gwen says. "That is great! Why aren't you happy?" "Are you kidding me, Gwen?" Erin yells. The students sitting two seats away from them look up at Gwen and Erin, and one of them shakes their head in disapproval. Erin leans forward towards Gwen and speaks more silently. "Do you know what happens to people who take the pilgrimage?" Gwen shrugs again. "No, I don't. Nobody does. You know the angels don't allow returned pilgrims to tell what happened. People have to keep it a secret." "Exactly," Erin replies. "Isn't that suspicious? If the pilgrimage was all sunshine and rainbows, the angels would want to spread the word. The reason we have to keep it a secret is because unspeakable things happen. I am sure of it." Gwen glares at her. "Are you trying to lose your food privileges again, Erin? If you lose them within the hour, that would be a new record."
