[Battle of Artah. . 1105 - Syria.]

The sounds of battle filled the air, As a struggle for Life and death ensued on both opposing sides. The air was thick, And it smelt of iron. The Turks were pushing us back. . But we were going to shove them further back, Once our reinforcements come. . 

-TS! TS! TS!-

"ADALBERT!"
I ripped the sword out of the Turks bloody chest, as I rushed for My friend.

Slashing my way through the turks, I desperateley tried to make it to my squire, My companion. . My friend.

-Shlk! Shlk!-
I smashed my foot into the shins of a Bloodied turk, before plunging my blade into the poor mans chest, As I continued forward.

"ADALBERT!"
I was almost there. . To him. But there was a bloody Kilij wielding Turk in front of me.

"Out of my way You Heathen."
I snarled at him, Raising my blades tip to his chest.

And without warning, I initated a sword duel with the Seljuk. We clashed, And clashed hard we did. 

I swung my sword over my head, But the Turk was quick. This Turk swung his Kilij at my own blade, Effectively Parrying it. Then I felt it. I felt the cold, Metal, Plating of his knee, Smashing into my gut. I stumbled back, Pained, But this was no time to complain about injuries.

With bloody rage, I Feinted another Overhand swing, Before plunging my sword straight into his own gut, Before ripping it out. I was almost there. 

Practically limping, I made my way over to Adalbert, Before I felt the ground under me dissapear. And before I knew it, I was falling. . Falling and Falling. . 

-Thud-
"GAH--!"

I groaned in pain, Trying to make sense of the matter, as I hold my stomach tightly. . I closed my eyes, Holding back the urge to yell,  As I layed on the Ground.

After a long while, I finally found the courage to get up. I groaned in pain, Looking around my new surroundings. .

"By the holy father. ."

The grass. . It was so. . Vibrant. The sky was no longer ashy. . The sand was not stained. . Where. . Where was I. . ?

PREVIOUSLY NAMED 'Maybe it was never meant to be...' "Why did you do this to me? WHY ME? AN ALREADY BROKEN girl? Why did you show me a fake world and destroy it along with me? Why Ismail? Why?" I broke out in tears. I had been silent for far too long. I needed to speak up for myself. For how long would I live like this, a puppet, a slave, a useless nobody, someone who'll never have any importance in his eyes despite being in his Nikah. He took a threatening step towards me, to which I flinched in response. He smirked knowing he will always have control over me. "Cause my jaan, it's much more fun to show a living corpse a new world and then lead them to hell then it is to do so to someone normal, I guess." He stated shrugging his shoulders. I took the vase from the table and smashed near his feet. "Why? Why did you marry me to ruin me? Why can't you see that you've ruined me enough. Just kill me. KILL ME NOW!" I shrieked His eyes darkened as I said those words, I regretted saying them as soon as I saw his reaction. He calmly bent down. Anticipating his next move as a slap or a punch, I wait with my eyes shut tight but nothing comes. I opened one eye followed by the other and see he is picking up the pieces of glass from the vase I threw, calmly and placing them on his palm and his long fingers. He realised I was staring and smiled, an evil one. "I won't kill you cause I need you for MY needs, but I can give you a taste of death, if you're that eager." He lunged towards me and wrapped the same hand that he had placed broken pieces of glass on, around my neck. I could feel blood oozing out of my neck but his grip kept tightening, not caring about my pain or tears. He kept going. I don't know what was hurting more my lungs from the lack of oxygen or my neck from the glass pieces that were piercing into it. After what felt like a century, he released my neck. I dropped back gasping for air. But he wasn't done with me yet...

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Celine Rushing has always been a tomboy who loves sword play and now she's been tasked with delivering a very important item for the Resistance. Being chased by soldiers and with traitors in her midst, all her well laid plans have gone amiss. Should she give the item to those claiming to be on her side? Or should she do something unexpected? Follow along with Celine as she adventures through the Midlands and see what happens when one impulsive decision changes the life of a simple farm girl making her the focus of bounty hunters and assassins. Sneak peak: "Ssh... They're going to hear you! Be quiet and act like you're sleeping!" he whispered loudly. Celine shut her mouth and moved as far away from him as she possibly could without falling out of the bed. "At the first opportunity he could slit my guts open to get that gem," she thought nervously. She was still holding the dagger so she moved the hand that was holding it to where he could see it. "I'm still armed so don't try anything foolish," she warned him. He looked shocked and a little taken aback. "Like I'm really going to do anything improper with all these soldiers crawling around," he said in irritation. They both fell silent. Then he hastily got up from the bed. "Anyway, you're not my type," he replied angrily. He walked over to the chair and grabbed his cloak and spread it out on the floor in front of the fire to make a pallet. Then he laid down and turned his back on her. Celine ignored him and listened to see if she could hear what was going on below. She could hear the soldiers speaking downstairs in the tavern but couldn't make out what they were saying. It sounded like they were already setting up their headquarters. "Just my luck," she thought. "I don't know how I'm going to get out of this one! The enemy is all around me!" Then she glanced over at Brandon who was still lying by the fire. "Even in this very room!"

{Completed - #12 highest} I was walking on a path all alone at midnight. I was just wondering around, until I saw a guy in a hoodie. He was beating the pulp out of another guy and one more man was on the ground, he was not moving. I gasped. 'Is he dead?' Or he can be unconscious, yeah 'el' he is just unconscious not dead. Duh! Who would kill a guy? As I was proceeding with my thoughts, that hoodie guy turned his face towards me. My heart had a mini heart attack. I turned my heels to the opposite direction and started to run. 'Run Ella, run for your life' was what my mind was screaming to me. I took turns without thinking, that guy was now following me and guess what? I took a wrong turn and which ended up being a dead end ' You are so dead' I thought. So, I started to think what I said last time to the people I love. 'Good night mom, love you.' to my mom, 'Stop annoying me! I'm going to bed.' to dad which also mean I love you, 'See you later Lu, love you!' to Luana. Okay my good bye says I love them all. Now I can die in peace. Granddad I'll meet you soon in the heaven, if you are there. I was still in my deep thoughts until I saw his silhouette. As, he get closer, my heart begin to race faster. I closed my eyes, until I heard him say "Ella?" O to the M to the G, this person actually knows me. I opened my one eye and saw him due to the small light hanging in that ally "Errrrr'ick!" I squeaked and mentally face palmed myself. Even at this state I'm calling him Errr'ick. "I'm sorry your highness, what can I do for you?" I squeaked again while trembling. The next second I heard his fits of laughter. He was rolling on the floor, actually rofling. I was glaring at him but I realised that I'm not in a position to glare. So, I made puppy dog face for him to spare my little life. He stopped but after seeing my face, he started to laugh again. He tried to say between his guffaws "You..... your face .....was epiccc!" He started to gasp for air and had tears in his eyes.

[COMPLETED] I was cursed at such a young age, abandoned by my own wolf and the Moon Goddess for something that wasn't in my control. I don't even think having a mate is in the cards for me... ✨🌘✨ I jumped when the final horn sounded, circling the garden before everyone became silent. They all returned to their seats, my father rising from his chair as I stood from my seat along with the other pups. I struggled to breath as we took our position, standing in the centre away from everyone else. My father offered me a reassuring glance though it did nothing to ease my anxiety, all I had to do now was wait. My eyes widened when the moons blue light shined down on me, illuminating my skin as I stared up at the sky in awe. "We thank the moon goddess for the power of her light..." I dropped my gaze back down, my fathers words surrounding us, "...Shall it bathe you and grant you strength, agility, speed like the wolf..." The pups around me began to moan in pain, capturing my attention as I furrowed my brows. Their features were all contorted by an invisible pain that inflicted them but I felt absolutely nothing. My heart raced when their groans of pain became screams but I- I suddenly drop to the ground, a painful throbbing in my head forcing me to the ground. I grip the sides of my head, screaming. I don't know how to explain it but it felt as though my brain was tearing in two, like my head was cracking open. When the pain stopped, I found myself surrounded by wolves, the shifted pups. Looking down at myself, I only see my body, no paws and no fur. I hadn't shifted... ✨🌕✨ Book 2* 'The Wolven King' is the first book and must be read in order to understand this one. ⚠️ WARNING!! This book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+. There are depictions of violence, mature language, sexual behaviour and sexual abuse.
A New Beginning: Tessa's Story by CrystalScherer

Optional sequel to Upon Wings Of Change. Tessa's Story: a version with *JUST* Tessa's POV (different from the original "Passing the Torch" version, which has 3 POVs, and is still available on my profile) Summary: The dragonets are flourishing; both those in the park and those helping the Kymari. As the first dragonets to hatch in the Kymari civilization, Tessa and her brother are paving a new path as they grow up and learn how to fit into the world. New beginnings are often great things, but sometimes shadows from the distant past come calling. (A slightly more polished version is also available on Amazon) Excerpt: I braced my feet against the wall as I pulled. Suddenly, the lever swung downward. I lost my grip and tumbled backward. I landed on my side and slid across the counter. My legs and tail flailed as I tried to get to my feet or slow down-but I didn't manage it in time. Almost in slow motion, my feet went off the counter as I slid into the air. Without thinking, my wings popped open and beat hard as I twisted, trying to turn right side up so I could fly properly. I blinked in shock when I realized I was already flying upward. Grinning triumphantly, I beat my wings again and went back to the counter. Pleased with my flying abilities, I proudly landed on the counter - and forgot to slow down, which promptly sent me sliding across the slippery surface, lightly colliding with the glass door. I ducked my head sheepishly, glad no one else had seen that. My eyes locked onto the gap between the glass doors. With an eager grin, I pressed my shoulder against the edge and pushed. My feet struggled to find traction, but it was opening! Once I pushed the door far enough, I scampered over to the cantaloupe. It was much bigger up close. I blinked slowly, trying to think about how I was going to move it. There was no way I'd be able to lift it. It was round though. Round things could roll, right? Updates every weekday!

[MHA x F!Reader] [6k - 20k worded chapters] "Don't move!" You shouted as loud as your voice could reach, your hand coming up and cupping your neck as you fought back a violent cough, blood rising in your damaged cords. Your opponent did as commanded, but the effect only lasted for a second at most, making you go on the defense once more as you mustered up enough strength in your voice again. You had only a few more simple commands left in you, if you dared try anything other than a simple 'don't move' or 'move away', you'd leave your throat beyond repair. However, you didn't want to let up anymore than you already have, dodging another blow from the beast that was attacking you. You had run out of throat medicine a long time ago, and your weapon was beyond repair, you had almost no hope. Leaning backwards, you narrowly dodged a blow, a large gash forming on your cheek that bled wildly, you holding in a hiss. Skidding to a stop, the villain in front of you wasted no time throwing themselves back at you, your brows furrowed as you spat out the remaining blood in your mouth. The villains grin widened as they raised their weapon hire, preparing a fatal blow for you. Opening up your mouth, you prepared yourself for the inevitable, this was it, your final, fatal strike. At the cost of your vocal cords, you screamed as loud as you could, as loud as you could muster. "Plummet!" The villain was taken aback as they were sent back down into the ground, a scream rupturing from them as they were dug into the ground. And you? On your knees, coughing up gallons and gallons of blood, your vision, hazy.
