A new and improved version of my 'Wheat' story I wrote back in 2018. This 2022 version I wrote for university.
During the reign of Pharaoh Ptolemy XII Auletes, a young woman carrying his child is kidnapped and thrust onto a boat down the Nile River. But it's not just her in danger, also the Pharaoh's daughter from her rival, his wife. Setting aside anger, she must somehow get them all off that boat and back home before she goes into labour.

Echoes of Babylon
"My name is Esharra, and though the years weigh heavily upon me, I stand as a witness to the resilience of our people. We have endured loss, abandonment, and the cruelty of kings, yet we are still here. Babylon may no longer claim us, but her memory runs through our veins like the rivers that once fed her fields. I have led my people through fire and ruin, not because I sought power or glory, but because I could not bear to see them fall. We have built anew, on land that holds no allegiance to tyrants, where our children can grow without fear. As I look upon this valley, our home, I know my time is nearing its end. But I am at peace. The stories of our past are now the foundation of our future. Let them remember not the man who led them, but the strength they found within themselves. Babylon lives, not in stone or empire, but in us. And so long as we carry her spirit, she will never be forgotten."Complete
The Daughter Of The Sea God
Life is like a roller coaster. Full of ups and downs, twists and turns. It can be pretty scary at times, but exhilarating at others. Unless you're like me; then its' scary all the time. But I've gotten used to this roller coaster, and the journey is becoming familiar. A pattern. I no longer scream at sharp plummets or squeeze my eyes shut at loops. Which is why this next turn rocks me off my feet. "I wasn't ready" doesn't even begin to cover it. My name is Jessica King And I am the daughter of the sea god. **i wrote this when i was 13 so forgive the everything errorsComplete![𝐀𝐤𝐡𝐞𝐭 [REWRITING]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/360595202-256-k378887.jpg)

The Solar Princess
Kingship, the ultimate power in the ancient world. To the Egyptians, it was a power passed through the female line. Only the husband of the Solar Princess could be king. A recently discovered tomb in 1883 opens a glimpse into the depths of political ambisions and power plays from centuries before. When the gods dabble, the horrors of the past have a way of coming back to haunt the world once again. ********** This is a short story. I hope you like it. I would love to hear feedback on this. I set this as mature just to be sure. I don't give overly explicit details of violence or sex, however, the story does delve into topics of a more mature nature. It is also a work of fiction that I wrote. Please do not copy any part of this story. I do not own the rights to the photos posted. Those are just images I found online and the rights go to the original owners. Thank you. As for the names of the characters, I pulled all of the names during the historical periods from actual history. So, I am sorry if the names are odd or difficult to follow, it is set during a specific reign and the historical people around the royal palace. I really enjoy writing from actual history as much as possible when I do delve into history. If people like this, I may try to work on a longer story of a historical romance in the Ottoman courts.Complete
