The Target
She stood 10 feet from her target, her bow loaded with a wooden arrow aimed for the little red circle at the centre of her homemade target. The wind kept on ruffling her dark brown hair, stray strands of hair blocking her peripheral view. But she couldn't care less. Her entire self was devoted on getting that arrow on to the bulls eye. She considered the bulls eye as all her problems and worries and she liked to keep on eliminating each one of them by shooting an arrow at it. She let the arrow fly, watching it zip through the air.

The Legend Of Fables (Published, available in online bookstores such as Amazon)
"My name," she said, "is Rubicund. But it is easier and preferable to call me Ruby." Rubicund, a fourteen year old girl with eyes filled with fiery brilliance as red as her name, is dissatisfied with life in the Settlements of Foundation-the most boring of towns in all of Fables. She plans to leave and does it the night she finds out that her mother was planning to marry her off to her only friend in the Settlements. Determined to follow the footsteps of the Vagrants, the hailed group of Travellers that had given a starburst of hope to the residents of Fables, Rubicund sets out on an adventure-filled journey and makes very unusual friends along the way. At one of the Areas of Fables, a place called the Domicile of Ordnance; Rubicund learns to take up arms and chooses a rare skill that went with her small physique. With archery for long-range take downs and a dual wield blade skill under her belt, the fire in her eyes bleeds out into an uncontrollable blaze, bringing with it the winds of change. Farming Toll and Items from Kobolds, Goblins and the like, she truly gets into the role of a Traveller, albeit one that has eyes so crimson that they were etched onto the memory of anyone who came across her. Romance blooms as Rubicund grows during her expedition, and as more join her group, she knows beyond doubt that this was what she was meant to do. And she swore she would never return until she had scoured all the Areas that Fables had to offer. Together with Kazak-an eccentric seventeen year old Warlock who likes anything that amuses him, Karachi-a stoic, strong fifteen year old Lancer who always does the right thing, and Lanna-a fifteen year old Valkyrie mature beyond her years and two of her loyal followers, Huske and Tuske, Rubicund has set full course for the most epic journey Fables has ever seen.Complete
