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.

Duette Vol. 1
Once Upon a Time... There were twenty-five royal siblings, each a protector of their realm. But when a great shadow fell, twenty-four of them were lost. The youngest prince survived-but barely. Grieving and broken, he lost his leg... and still their was a kingdom that needed him to save them. A strange woman with ember eyes came to him then. She offered him a leg of tin-cold, powerful, and cursed. He stood, he fought, he won. But tin always takes. It stole his warmth, his tears, his time. Soon, the prince was more metal than man, and his heart slowed to silence. What he didn't know was that the woman was a fallen goddess-cast from the heavens for lacking twenty-five virtues. She had stolen one soul for each trait she lacked. Twenty-four were hers taken from his siblings. Only one remained: steadfastness. But when she reached for the prince's soul... it was gone. Long ago, a mourning architect and her wizard husband had made a fail safe should the goddess ever attempt to steal the 25 souls. They built a final guardian-a paper dancer placed in a music box of tin. Inside her, the prince's soul slept. As she stirred to life, she began to dream. And in her dreams, she met the prince-again and again, across lifetimes spun by the goddess. Though he slept, his soul still dreamed, and her dreams brushed his like feathers in the dark. She searched for him, across ash and ruin. And when she found him-tin cold and asleep-she kissed him. His soul returned, and he woke, human once more. But tin always takes as it gives and the time that had been wound up on her music box was coming to an end. The goddess appeared then, smiling. She offered the prince a cruel deal: twenty-five years together, in the waking world. Then 225 trapped in her stories, living whatever story she choose. And if the prince ever failed to remain steadfast his soul would belong to the goddess forever. The prince agreed. And so their story begins... again, and again, and again.Complete
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
Cursed Times - Only Yesterday! Sequel to Wattys 2015 winner!
By accident rather than design, Trueth - one of the last European witches - finds herself in an ancient Egyptian civilisation. It isn't quite what she has expected - for one thing this place is as full of magic as it is lacking in decent showers. Instead, there is evil lurking just below the surface of the Nile. Together with the friends and family she found in 'Cursed Times - What Now?', Trueth will need to embark on yet another world-saving adventure. One that hopefully does not end in a romantic shipping-wreck. From pyramids, tombs and temples - as well as a palace governed by a randy fourteen-year-old Pharaoh - her journey will ultimately take her to the mists of the North and towards her people. With or without a man at her side. 'Only Yesterday' can be read as standalone adventure novel, or as part of the 'Cursed Times' Series. Warning: In 'Cursed Times - What Now?' all you needed was popcorn. Now you need something stronger - much stronger! === Copyright information, given the recent acts of content piracy: All copyrights of the texts are mine exclusively.

Once Upon a Fairytale
Avoid looking into those golden eyes. One look is enough and you will be lost forever. Once upon a time, beyond the forests and mountains, where the leaves always wore the color of autumn, a girl with great talent grew up, with her mother and father. One day, however, their happiness was stolen by tragedy. Her mother fell ill and death called her to the other side. Nothing was the same anymore. Her father remarried. And in the end, time took him away too. Iris was left alone with her stepmother and stepsister. They made her a maid, a slave. A prisoner of a life she hated. But something deep inside her prevented her from leaving the house she grew up in - her home. There, as a child, she created all the miracles with her mother and wanted to continue doing so, to give joy to those less fortunate. Like when she made a dress for the butcher's wife, whom her husband no longer loved, that made her irresistible to him again. Or when she made a shirt for her best friend Jace that was supposed to protect him from the edge of swords, since he liked to provoke the royal guards. Her little secret. But one day, her peaceful life decides to take a completely different direction and everything goes wrong. She meets a prince. She helps her stepsister win him for herself. And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears. A long-hidden story begins to unfold before her, revealing the truth about her mother, her ancient ancestors, and herself. And it all started with her simply taking off the necklace she should never have taken off.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![𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐞 | Night at the Museum [Ahkmenrah] ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/184215852-256-k914439.jpg)

"That's right." ___ Born in a storm, Rowena was found by a man of humility and kindness that no one could ask for - at times of inhumane acts and discrimination. But when a group of cultists demand an ancient gold coin claimed by her, she is buried under the rubble of temple. However, it's only a few days later when she wakes up...buried alive with a tombstone next to a grave.

Until one night in the New York Museum of Natural History, where she encounters the magical tablet once more...where it would bring life to the rest of history in front of her and the new night guard. But with a tablet: comes a king; and Rowena will meet an old soul once more, someone she has met many decades before. ____ • Follows through NATM 1 & 2 and the beginning of NATM 3 • Canon Divergence partway through NATM 3 • Warnings of Violence, Major/Minor Deaths and lots of Angst. • No Mummies, Artefacts or Capuchins were damaged in the making of this story. #blm #womenofhistory #6 in fanfiction (14/11/2021) #1 in history (15/11/2021) #1 in ramimalek (29/04/2022)Complete
