Lady Aria of Li-Aval feels like a prisoner, with a magnificent manor as her cage. Her father hides her from the rest of the world because Aria has hair like strands of gold. Literally, her hair is gold. When Aria's father tries to marry her off to an elderly man, she takes her deceased mother's necklace and runs away with her servant, Tina. They stumble upon Torenth, a city hidden behind a waterfall, and the Guardians welcome her into their castle like family. Lord Deric tries to win her heart, but Aria's eyes are on Owen, the shy blacksmith. When Aria finds out she is the next Guardian of Torenth according to a prophecy, she must figure out a way to keep her father out of Torenth. For if she cannot be the next Guardian, Torenth will be lost forever. Note: I wrote this ten years ago when I was 14 so it is rather short! Only 24,000 words.Complete
Revival, Emperor Geta βοΈ
The roaring sound of the crowd drummed her ears as she sat in her seat, hands gripping the sides tightly as her eyes remained on the scene in front of her. What was once two men fighting was now one holding his blooded sword up in complete victory, a beaming smile on his face as those in the colosseum cheered more. She looked to her side, her husband to be with a blank expression on his face. His eyes remained locked in front of him, unamused as usual. She darted her eyes away from him, closing them quickly not wanting to look at the man to whom she was just an accessory too. But the sound seemed to simmer down, the feeling of someone staring at her ever growing on her senses, without thinking her eyes snapped towards the emperors who were sat in large chairs surrounded by the Praetorian guards. His eyes on hers. // After being sold away for a marriage between herself and a very much older member of the senate, Cecilia must find away to push forwards and reach the positives in her life that seemed to be drained away from her ever since she was sold away to live in Rome with a man she will not and does not love. But things begin to take a turn when a certain emperor makes his way present in her life, almost as if he lifted the positivity into her life.Complete
