**A Collection of Short Stories**
On the northern coast of Vittenstock province lies Drevston, subject to all the cold seasonal winds and tides and the rough elements. A once-flourishing industrial town, Drevston has now deteriorated into a shambling spot of crime, shady business and dark magic, and earned the nickname Demonstown. Out of this emerges a group of peopled called the *contractors*, well-versed in various skills including combat, diplomacy and magic, running high-risk, high-reward errands for the more powerful people of Demonstown.
567 Catherine Square, an unassuming little house squashed between equally unassuming little houses along one side of the square, is home to one of those contractor organizations: the Order of Prometheus. Secretive, constantly short-staffed and fighting to make ends meet, they seem no different from the other contracting offices sprinkled in the streets of Demonstown. They, too, are subject to the storm that's brewing across town, but there are some reasons why we chose to talk about them...

Guardians of the Light (Book 1: Rebirth)
Many centuries ago, an unspoken darkness swept across the land taking all that was light and pure in the world with it. Creatures of this darkness roamed free to spread the darkness wherever they went consuming any trace of light remaining. In order to stop The Darkness from controlling the world, a group of priests took the remaining pieces of light and placed them within the body of two chosen children. They became known as the Children of the Light. Their sacrifice was not in vain, leaving behind spoken words for the next generation of children born with the pure light energy within them. Over time an organisation built on these words was formed called The Guardians, who were tasked to seek out the next chosen children and protect them from The Darkness should it rise again. Centuries have come and gone as the battle between the light and the darkness still rages on, unaware of the human race that creatures live among them and that a battle between them and the guardians has gone on for many years. Present day we find ourselves in a small city named New Haeven that has become the centre of the secret world of light and dark.The current story follows a Guardian by the name of Ronin. Ronin saw the faces of the new Children of the Light and was tasked by the Elders to track them down and protect them at all costs.The children were both college students and were one male and one female whose names were James Hillman and Sara Danvers..When Ronin went to see he ran into a ghost from his past, Lillian.

Champions of Light: Gaëtano's Sword [Book One]
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON & KINDLE On the planet Keodis, upon the western continent, Uestron, inside the Raesifiin Empire, in the small naval city of Cyripo, the story begins when thirteen diverse strangers answer a strange pamphlet to a quest. The quest is to find a powerful gem in the Deep Forest, and then to use what powers it bestowed on them to delve into the Mountain Barrier. There, they will have to find the Light to dispel the growing Darkness within. Though this qest is honorable and righteous, the dangers that await them are exponentially worse than they could ever imagine. Whether they can save the world depends on whether they can survive themselves. Mature rating for blood, gore and depictions of violence. TW: mentions of drunkards and beer, mention of physical abuses, a description of trypophobia, claustrophobia, and other phobias, and descriptions of nasty cryptids. There is no depictions or allusions of sex, no f-bombs, or drug abuse. This story was started when I was in seventh grade. I finished the original when I was a senior in high school. Displeased with the finished product, I began to rewrite it here, starting June 2015, then again in 2020. I am quite satisfied with the result, and am sure this will be the final edition. This isn't the first book of the series, but there's no spoilers for 'The World is Larger than it Seems', so you can start on this one. The story is far from finished, however, and I hope to eventually finish the series.Complete

Outland: Red Ledgers of a Demon Hunter
Terra Firma is gone. Mankind has descended. Demons rule the new world. In the aftermath of Biblical Desolation, Man's last dregs have fled to Outland---an accursed realm beneath the Earth, ruled by the Demonic forces of Chaos. Two factions, the Tantalus Consortium and the Terran Republic, battle each other and the uncanny frontiers around them in endless cycles of war. Demons, garbed in man-made flesh, wander the haunted places of this world, seeking whom they may devour. But God is not silent in the face of His people's suffering. Judges, chosen by the Angels, and their Slayer attendants follow these evils into their unholy lairs, steering both empires toward the light as Demons vie to keep humanity trapped in the dark. Two wars, one material and one spiritual, forever ravage the landscape, every new battle threatening to be the one that finishes what Desolation started. The Judges sponsored many great heroes, but none so well-known as Alptraum the Chaos-Eater--a Nephilim warrior from another realm who turned his back on sin and swore his sword to the Lord, becoming one of God's most fearsome warriors against creatures of the night. The Chaos-Eater fell contending for the faith, but he is succeeded by a son, hardened by strife and ordained by tragedy to follow on his warpath. This man, armed with a Heaven-forged Magic Sword, will wade knee-deep into the legions of the damned, carving a path toward salvation for all who cry out in direst need. He is Tony Slade, Exiled Ranger of the Terran Republic, and these are the stories that began his legend. For fans of Gothic horror with a cyberpunk twist, adrenaline-pumping action, and wholesome family values. Expect violence, heinous cruelty, the best and worst of humanity in unflinching detail, constant drug abuse, and a distressing lack of diplomatic solutions to interpersonal conflicts. This is your first and only warning.
A Dime a Dozen
Warning: this book contains nonsensical stories. All fiction, but not necessarily connected. Boop. Just for funzies. This is a compilation of shorts that are unrelated, mostly. Cute, funny, sad, emotional whatever was in my head and I was in the mood to write. Dragons, magic, romance, friendship, family, fights, fights with family- these are all over the place. Names may be used in more than once, but that doesn't mean the stories are related (it just means I really like the name, :p ); however, some shorts may get additions or elaborations or show up in other works, but unless stated other wise, THEY ARE NOT RELATED. Boop. Read at your own risk, but don't fall in love with the characters. I promise no additions. Feel free to leave comments and ask questions or straight up beg for me to write more about some characters. Who knows? I may be merciful and oblige.
