There's a library everybody goes to. It's just a little way into the forest where everyone goes missing, except...No one seems to go missing when they're heading to the library. The lone Librarian is well known as Elder Asteria Xandria. She's friendly and seems to know every person's name by heart, even those she's never met. Elder Asteria works the entire library alone. No one knows how she does it, but she does. The food is to die for, and she has every book you can think of. She knows what book and snack you'll choose before you do. Her hair is silvery and down to her waist. Elder Asteria always wears long, flowy, colorful dresses that swish behind her and give her a what seems to be a magical entrance. I, Althea, love the library. I'm there every day. Elder Asteria greets me every day by name with my coffee order from the library Cafe. She helps me study and refills my coffee whenever I need. I never pay for anything here. Elder Asteria gives me advice and finds me the exact book I need at any moment. However, I believe once the library closes, the actual magic happens. For those who are brave enough to venture into the forest and find the library at night, mystical memories await. What magic it is, no one knows. Who Elder Asteria really is is unknown. No person left in this world knows her past, who she was before the library, before the old stories were just stories. Are you willing to find out with me?

"You don't know anything." "Don't I? It doesn't take a person with eyes to recognize all that built up anger and pain sizzling inside you." "Stay the fuck out of my business."] While grieving the loss of her boyfriend, huntress Nera Atherton made it to her mission to kill every beast she can hunt down to avenge her love.

The Garden of EDEN
Evangeline Dahlia Ehani Nailah Garden. Long name, I know. But that is not why you are here. You are here to hear about a legend. A legend about a powerful witch. Now, although this is indeed a legend, it is very much true. This is her story. *** "Before I begin this story, you must know that The Great Eden was an extremely powerful witch that everyone feared and loved at the same time." "Like you?" I laughed. "Yes, like me." "What else?" "I will tell you more but first you must tell me how you have come to hear about this story." "On my way back from Jillian's a man in a dark coat came to me and told me." "Taraji, what have I told you about associating with strange men?" "But mother-" "What did this man look like?" "I am not quite sure. He had his face covered the whole time. He said that if I wanted to know more about her that I had to talk to you." I looked at Thalia and she knew exactly what to do. I sighed and rubbed my eyes. When I looked back at my children, they had anticipation in their eyes and I could not help but smile. I continued my story. "Now, let us begin. Eden did not really know how powerful she really was. Until one day she was pushed past her limit." Navid scooted closer and a small smile curled up to my lips. "What do you mean?" "You will see once I get to the end." "Continue, please." ****Complete
The cherry Flower Witch (Twisted wonderland x Reader)
#1 in Disney twisted wonderland 10/6/2020 "Child, In this world we live in if you're a witch, Celestials want to kill you, People want to kill you, even other Witches want to kill you too," Sighed an elderly witch. As she gently stroked the hair of a child witch. A Witch who was still new and Naive to the world. "Child, you are lucky to be born as strong as you are, but you'll still find yourself at the mercy of fellow Witches or even stronger witches," the elder explained. "What must I do to get stronger?" Asked the innocent child. "You could train and sharpen your craft, but at the risk of being caught and killed. Or you eat the soul of a fellow witch and take their strength as your own," The elder said sadly. "Is that all there is to be a witch, Is there no place of safety?" The young witch sobbed. "There was a pace my father spoke of. A place where magic was everything. From their history to their way of life. He said he was brought there in a coffin by a black carriage and was brought there to learn magic. He returned to our word to lead us to this haven, but the way back was locked, and he could never return to that place. That place he called Twisted Wonderland," I do not own Disney Twisted wonderlandComplete
