When Martyn was fifteen, he saw his first crow. The two stared at each other for a second- the bird's beady black eyes versus Martyn's green ones- and then the crow tipped its head, spread its wings, and flew off.
Not long after, Martyn's mother came down with a sudden illness and passed away.
Ever since then, Martyn's been traveling the land. If a crow shows up in the place he's in, he leaves as quickly as possible. They mean misfortune, he's puzzled out, so he shouldn't stick around when they're near. He doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire, after all.
He hasn't ever been all that good at doing what he should, though.

3rd Life AU set in medieval times. Inspired by The Garden by The Crane Wives.

Fighting the Corruption (Scarian Superhero AU)
Hotguy is Hermit City's newest hero, and everyone seems to love him. Well, almost everyone. Grian can't stand the city's newest "personal military member". When his younger brother almost gets killed just for being an avian, maybe those Dogwarts "Terrorist" don't look so bad... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I really tried to make this description/title decent, but I don't think it worked. And let's not even talk about the cover... This is gonna be book 1 in this AU. Enjoy!
The Hue of Her Skin
They looked at him like he was nothing. A dog with not a bit of bark nor a scrap of bite. The feral at the pound set to be put down at dusk. His strength was inconsequential, his wit insignificant. A mutt such as he had no place in their ranks. For lesser followed his name. He was an heir. One of two. The one destined to die at the hands of his depraved brother. As the second born, Jackson knew he would never lead the clan. It was his place to receive the death of a challenger once his elder brother inherited the title of Alpha. But he didn't mind. He would die as he lived. Gratefully. That's what he thought, at least... Until he found her. A sick little human, hidden away from the world. He stumbled upon her, and discovered refuge in her peace. She was an innocent relief from his life of violence and death. A beautiful light in his darkness. And he began to think, Maybe death wasn't his destiny after all. *** Updates every Sunday DISCLAIMER: There is violence and mentions of some heavy topics in this story, there will be no trigger warnings. This is also a first draft, it will be rewritten upon completion. Please show pity on the poorly written moments.![[ xelqua ] watcher!grian story](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/303205758-256-k41939.jpg)
[ xelqua ] watcher!grian story
Grian was surrounded by the hermits, swords pointed. The boy frowned at the man in front of him, "I didn't kill him." His tone was clearly annoyed. "shut it watcher, we know your tricks." their youngest hermit who joined the server had left their server after staying a week. He was overpowered by his fellow hermits who had accused him of murder. "grian! that's grian!" the hermits who fled to find their youngest soon faced a replica of the shopping district. it was clearly deserted, yet somehow full of life. the missing hermit who they saw on a random window sill lay his head on a table, in each seat was an armour stand with different positions and different heads. this was his life for over 3 years. Updates: every 2 days lol I lied. It's every 2 weeks. Reminder; HUGE OOC on some hermits+Evo guys Confusing plot that will be cleared later that requires your patience.Complete
