May Khanavan's life was the very essence of ordinary, consumed only by the typical concerns of a high school senior-final exams, prom, and graduation. However, a twist of fate changes everything when, on her eighteenth birthday, she encounters a man boldly claiming to be the infamous Pharaoh Akhenatem of Egypt.
In the annals of history, Pharaoh Akhenatem was renowned for his heart of stone and iron fisted rule. Until, that is, an ill-fated confrontation with a powerful and vengeful sorcerer leads to a curse that would cast him into the mists of time, hurtling him thousands of years into the future, straight into the life of May.
Cryptic visions and the wisdom of departed loved ones set into motion a chain of events that, alongside May's compassion and patience, unveil an unexpected love as the two souls discover the intricacies of the concept of evil and that everyone has their own story.

The warrior and the Healer
A ruthless king comes in contact with a well known priestess, in devastating circumstances. Their ideals start affecting each other. Will the priestess lose her spirituality, or will the king find compassion in his heart. Only time will tell... Author's note: I wrote this story when I was in 5th grade. But I still want to publish this in its raw unedited form, as a memory. Although I am fairly confident in my English skills (at least now), it is not my first language. And given that an 11' y/o myself wrote this, please pardon my errors! This is primarily a keepsake for me, so I did not even read through this before publishing. But as far as I remember, it was "heavily inspired" from beauty and the beast. I was too young to understand the concept of "plagiarism", so again, in case, if you feel uncomfortable, please do not read it. Its perfectly fine. I hope to come out with more publish-worthy pieces soon.Complete
Rell and The Rose
A Beast stalks the night... but Beauty hunts him. A reimagining of the story you thought you knew. Rell grew up hearing stories of the Human Realm, a fantastic world with light at the flick of a finger, metal boxes that fly through the sky; a fantastic, faraway fairytale that she knows is too good to be true. Because Rell lives in the Dark Realm: a world full of magical creatures and a low-hanging sky, all protected by The Blood Rose. Until the day the Blood Rose is stolen away and taken to the Human Realm. Without it, the two realms will meet with disastrous consequences, the human sun bleaching all the magic from the Dark Realm. And so Rell leaves everything she knows to bring it back. There's only one problem: the Human Realm- especially high school- is nothing like the stories. There's some sort of code with words like "twerking" and "Instagram" she can't understand, and then there's Bastien, the boy who hates Rell for reasons she can't explain. But when Rell realizes Bastien is keeping just as many secrets as she is, the two become an unlikely team in the search for the Blood Rose. Time is ticking, and more than just The Dark Realm is at stake. Whoever stole the rose is now cursed to turn into a Beast every full moon, and is hidden among them. Students are going missing, and dark creatures are slipping into the Human Realm. Rell needs to find the Blood Rose, slay the Beast, survive high school, and sort out these new, confusing feelings for Bastien--all before the night of the full moon. To fail could mean the end of The Dark Realm and every magical creature within, but to succeed means she'll lose the boy she's falling for, and a Realm more beautiful than she ever imagined. A modern-day reimaging of Beauty and the Beast.Complete

*Slowly being edited* Legend has it that a long time ago,Apollo,son of Zues and Leto fell in love with Eirine, the daughter of Poseidon and Malantheia...with which she bore him a daughter who they named Kai. Their beautiful daughter was born on July the 18th,under the full moon. She had the most beautiful eyes any person had ever seen, engulfing them in such a trance of beauty and sirenity.Her eyes shown pure white, revealing the beautiful specks of detail, with two small pools of blue and purple under the pupil. They were just one of the reminders of her uniqueness. Apollo and Eirine knew that they had to hide her away from the world,with his affair he had with Eirine, their daughter would not only be in danger by the other gods and kingdoms,but the light lavender colour in her eyes meant she would be destined to be a vessel/Childbearer for a lycanthrope prince. Together they decided that Eirine would run away to live on earth as a normal person and not as a goddess. She would be hidden with their daughter, until they figured something out. But...word leaked out and as Apollo bid her farewell they were caught in a crossfire between two elements,that of the sea and the other from the lands. Each side fought over who would take the child,because it was said that she would be the next in line in Poseidons sea world kingdom,or that she would be the next ruler of a kingdom on land,whether it be her mates or not. Her existence brought war and Chaos upon them all.Knowbody cared for the now 6 month old baby,all they wanted from her was the power she possessed, and for the great things that were destined in her future. But little did they know that if she stayed alive any longer, she'd be their downfall and the rest of the worlds... ~Read the full prologue in the book<(￣︶￣)>Complete
