The Heir of Dominion: The overcomer
Most of us pay no attention to the pests that live around us. However, when you find one, what do you usually do? Swat a fly? Squish a cockroach? Stomp on a spider? In a world where mankind is not the dominant species and giant creatures that look at mankind in the same way you would look at a rat, vermin. Except these cruel monsters take pleasure in making sport of people when they find them. For too long mankind has been scarce and scattered abroad, and too long have they lived in this oppression. Someone has to do something about this, right? After all, could rodents overthrow the dominant species? How could rodents overthrow giants?Complete
Tales From the Void
*This series features dragons from the mobile game DragonVale. I do not claim ownership of the dragons or designs, only the individual personalities and created lore, which majorly diverges from the canon DragonVale lore.* *Potential gore warning for some of these stories. There are some graphic scenes of violence in "Skytooth" , "Dougal" , "Fiona" , "Photon" , and "Jolt" * This is a series of short stories spun-off from my graphic novel series: From the Void, In the Void, and To the Void. This trilogy documented the journey of two groups of dragons from a dimension known simply as the Void. After a massive famine, this world falls into chaos, giving rise to a pack of cannibals that systematically ends the population. This group is known as the Voidian Raiders. Over the course of the three series, we meet a band of survivors that ultimately defeats the raiders and, later on, teams up with them to save the dying Void. This culminates in the remaining Voidian population settling an island in the Dragon Universe, starting over from scratch. Tales From the Void is a series of side stories, documenting the journeys of other Voidians and their struggles in background of these events. Some directly intersect with the events of the Void series, some only connect losely, and some are connected to entirely other storylines in my vast Dragon Universe continuity. Most are written, however, in a way that you do not need to understand the full scope of the lore, and you are given enough context that you can get the basic story.Complete

For All of Dragonkind: The Beginning
First, there was existence. Then, creation. And finally, life. Organisms started to exist and live on the insignificant planet known as Earth in the middle of a galaxy out of the endless void that is space. Two races gained a gift all other creatures don't have: intelligence. Humanity and Dragonkind. Dragonkind was gifted with power and strength, while humanity had dexterity and creativity, always hungry for knowledge. However, when a conflict threatens to destroy the world, dragons become the definition of beasts and humans become nearly helpless to survive the onslaught or become monsters themselves. As the planet closes on its own destruction, a child born of both universes will be either the last light of hope to end the bloodshed once and for all or become its greatest threat to not only Earth, but possibly the whole universe. As two beings run from death itself, their child must survive not just to save Humanity, but all of Dragonkind as well. (Author: This story and others have been living rent-free in my head for a while. My own dark take on the "war, but with dragons" concept, this is the start of an anthology of stories. All will contain a variety of genres. This story has gore, swearing, deaths, and strong references to sex. This and the other stories in the anthology will not be for the faint of heart.)Complete

The world did in fact not end with a bang, but a whisper. Nothing was left but a suffocating stillness. The air was thick with ash, the remnants of humanity left to crawl through a poisoned wasteland. The whispers of those we had lost haunted us. The line between predator and prey had began to blur. The dead did not rest but it was the survivors that plunged the earth into darkness. I had grew to watch the accustomed look of desperation between my group. Haunted by my past I became a distant memory to those I once looked to for hope. They just didn't understand that biding time wasn't a blessing, it was a curse. And I realised, as the sky grew white-the end was never the worst part; it was what came after. ---------- Book series: Book 1- In the Afterlife Book 2- Ashes of tomorrowComplete
