Tava woke gasping, retching she tried again. Sucking down the air as if she had just emerged from being hours under water.
Getting to her feet, the first thing she noticed was her bow in her left hand, the second, she was fully clothed in her travelling gear and thirdly, she was no longer in her room at the inn.
Instinct taking hold, she drew an arrow, crouched low and looked around at her surroundings. She had been lying in the middle of a grassy field not far from a cobbled road, worn away and overgrown with weeds.
Above her loomed the towering Monastery of old Trixam - the once magnificent keep atop the hill that had housed the religious Order of the Light, the Prophet and eventually became the seat of power for the self-proclaimed king and his heirs for many years until the great fall. That was shy on twenty years ago thought Tava, recalling her father lectures, since then it has stood abandoned and broken and deemed a gathering place for evil...

Shattered Legacies: Book 1, Holo Change
Anna splashed the warm water on her face, running her hands over her wet skin in attempts to set herself straight. "It was just a thought" she told herself, just an odd thought. Why get do rattled? It was exactly like Dr Jefferson had said: it was late, she had a hard day, that kind of situation coupled with a horror movie.. It was just a thought. Wiping her face with the towel on the counter she let out a sight. Feeling a bit more refreshed now. However, as soon as she removed the towel and saw her reflection.. "Did you brush your teeth?" An older woman came up to the doorway of the small bathroom where she felt like she were standing on something besides the tile floor. She had short hair and a white coat. "Yes momma." A younger voice smiled, causing the mother to cross her arms, "Let me see." not convinced and going to check the toothbrush of the girl. "Ok fine! I'll brush my teeth.." Her response was quick and a little annoyed, probably to keep from getting caught in a lie. The woman stood in the doorway to watch. Short blonde hair just reaching her shoulders, and a pair of cyan eyes looked back in the mirror with a much younger face. Disappearing just as soon as it had happened. "Aahah!" With a yelp Anna stepped back dropping the towel in the process, as sheer terror made it's way through her. Light, dark, weavers, Outcasts. It's all new to Anna, if that even is her name. After waking up with a blank slate of a mind, she has to not only relearn the ways of the world but also her own powers and what exactly it means to be "souless". The Order of Kismet, the goddess of fate, where is her place here? And is what they're doing truly right? Remembering is risky but it's the only chance she sees.
The Stampede ~Vash x OC AU~
~Vash x OC AU~ Book 1 of 3 *Began: Monday, January 1, 2024* *Finished: Wednesday, April 10, 2024* Sometimes... Sometimes I have nightmares. Nightmares that I wake from in the middle of the night, sweat clingy to my brow as my chest heaves. Nightmares with ghosts and the haunting memories of their voices calling my name. Nightmares that were dreams once upon a time ago. A long time ago. Nightmares of shooting stars made of ship debris falling from the sky. Nightmares of screaming sirens and pounding feet and flashing red lights. Nightmares of tears rolling down her cheeks and the way fire consumed her as she sent us away. And then nightmares of him laughing as hell rain down around us. I wonder if she has nightmares, too. **NOTE: I do NOT own any of the media (pictures/photos/videos/music/etc.) or any characters (other than the OC - and other OC characters) in this book.

Efferent
In the process of revamping this profile and this novel... thanks for your patience! (Estimated time of arrival: 12/01/19) "What are we?" I muttered in awe. "Efferent." He cocked his head slightly to the side. "Although, I do not believe that anyone is truly like you, Ardyn Danvers. You are something different altogether. You are something far more superior." ********** In a society dictated by intellectual prowess and where your status is determined by your level of brain function, Ardyn Danvers finds herself on her knees with a historically low percentage. With few choices left to make, and a dim future ahead of her, Ardyn is resigned to joining the rest of the bottom feeders in the gutter. But when an esoteric clinic of scientists develop a serum meant to increase tested brain function, they threaten to turn the nation's establishment on its head and heighten government control. Intending to level the division between the high percentages and the low, they had expected to use the serum to bridge the gap between the undesirables at the foot of the hierarchy to the elite standing at the pinnacle. What they did not expect, however, were the side effects. ********** © 2017 AaPThomps all rights reserved. COMPLETED FIRST DRAFT. Cover by @-wanderesComplete
The Scout (Prompts)
This story is now on Figment! I will not be updating this on Wattpad! If you wish to read more its the same title on Figment! So these are prompts that were started because of Camp NaNoWriMo, my cabin-mates and I came up with them to keep ourselves busy while waiting for it to start. Now that its over (and I'm through finals) I'll probably go through them and edit, and add the last few prompts that I missed. I'm writing a bigger story that may or may not contain elements of these prompts but it does contain Trix and her friends. I may or may not add this bigger story to Wattpad, I don't know at this point though; I changed a lot of stuff (I also used the prologue in a class so that got changed) so if I add that it might be a little while.Complete
Reverie of the Fallen Deity
The world of Alaris had always been one ruled by magic and the will of the gods. Most had some degree of renown or magical power, even attaining the status of so called Legends. A woman of no real renown, Alistaria had attempted to claw her way to some degree of notoriety with what little magical power she had. Achieving the rank of captain of a royal guard, she had expected to live a semi average existence. Sent on an expedition to find the source of an emerging insurrection, Alistaria finds herself in a nearly alien outpost in the middle of the desert. After a chance encounter in a place she shouldn't have been, she is infected by a monstrous creature and is forced to watch as she slowly succumbs to changes she didnt intend. Forced into the grip of a vengeful god and granted the power to corrupt the world around her, Alistaria must navigate her own maturation and avoid certain death at the hands of those she once called companions.Complete
