Healers are mostly known for their supportive role, providing aid to the "real heroes". I wanted to write a story where the healer was the hero. 

The idea mostly started when my husband told me I'd be a healer if D&D classes reflected reality. My first reaction was "wow, what the heck", like that was something to be offended by. I mean, he's not wrong. I am kind of a hippie and what's more hippie than a healer--but I don't play second fiddle to anyone! 

So, I wanted to change the healer's reputation and give them a moment to shine. Healers can be the cool ones, too! Although mine's a little traumatized... ha..haha...ha... I'm so sorry, Marcy. 

Anyways, here's a brief synopsis:

A darkness appears in the kingdom of Illari, causing chaos and heartache for many of its people. 

Marcy Cutler, a healer, has learned to keep her head down to survive in a time when healers are not welcome. When she meets Penryn Dreki, a bounty hunter, he brings out a side of her she's long forgotten: the side that's stubborn, bold, and will do anything for a loved one. 

As they learn more about the suffering of those around them, they grow more determined to make a stand. Can they save their land and themselves from sinking into the darkness?

Chapters will update every Friday at 4pm MST.

Tome of Whitetree: Book of Gideon: Chapter 4 by WhitrtreeGuild
27 parts Complete Mature
"Let me tell you a story-not of heroes in shining armor (though there is a knight), nor of kings and crowns (though they do appear), but of a season in which the quiet threads of ordinary folk were yanked into a tapestry far grander, and far more perilous, than any of us expected. It began, as these things often do, with blood on the cobblestones and smoke in the sky. Whispers of raids on the western frontier, a princess with fire in her eyes, and a shadow crawling through the alleys of Seleone. Amid all that, I-a humble monk-stumbled into the company of a vagabond knight with no name worth mentioning and a habit of walking into death like it owed him money. What followed was... well, chaos. Battle. Betrayal. A daemon or two. The city groaned beneath the weight of secrets long buried. And beneath it all, something darker stirred-something with too many names, and one title that none dared speak aloud. But I've said too much. If you seek a tale of swords and sorrow, of faith and fury, of jesters, generals, and ghosts in alleyways-this is your story. And if you're wondering how it all ends? Well... I'm still here to write it down. For now." -As scribbled (and sighed over) by Guy of Walnut Hill Abbey, itinerant monk and accidental chronicler of legends
Protector of the Crown by MandySAuthor
35 parts Complete
COMPLETED BOOK I was trained to be a weapon for the kingdom. I was forced into servitude to the King after my family was ripped from me. My new life was covered in the blood of my family...and now I had to protect the royal family who ordered my parents' death. They're all monsters, except for him...he was my charge and as much as I wanted to hate him, the prince was nothing like his vicious father. He was a warm light in my cold and dark world. I was supposed to be controlled, cold, calculating and deadly, but he made me crave freedom, warmth and all the things I thought died with my family. I no longer knew my path...but I knew it led to him. ****** Don't hesitate to let me know what you think of my book or if you see grammatical errors/plot holes! *16+ is recommended...sex is implied but not described (I came up with that little rhyme while I was brushing my teeth this morning!) and there are scenes of violence.
Glass Magic by lonewolfpuppylol
82 parts Complete
Glass magic, the weakest of magic, the most fragile, the least effective. Those with it always end up with aide or aid class and a relief type. They were the ones to deal with the aftermath of war, helping those that had already severed their kingdom and those that had yet to come of age. They never face actual war, never risking their life as it was not a life worth risking. It was hardly a life. Now, there are also classes that seem limited to certain standing, take the rogue class for example; they are restricted to support and assassin types. Their sly personalities and abnormal magic perfect for stealing and stealth. Then lead types seem bland, always the same people, warrior class, elemental magic, blah blah blah. Though humans are uncommon within the lead types it's not as if one had heads turning in disbelieve. Uncommon but not rare. Boring really. Everyone's always so restricted with their magic, type, class, and rank, and yet... She exists. A magic so fragile she shouldn't even be allowed in war, a class that doesn't match her personality, and a type that clearly doesn't belong to her. The only thing that seemed to be correct was her rank, F, the lowest. I wonder... Will she thrive with her standing? Or with she burn in the chaos of it? Why don't we find out? (This is a first draft and the plot is a little all over the place)

***Please read my message on November 12, 2019 (if you can) for enlightenment purposes*** "Who are you?" A certain Luna asked. "Tell me, why do I feel like this?" The Alpha in front of her just stayed frozen. "Why do you make me feel so....pained?" The Luna questioned as her hands slightly trembled. "You have suffered because of me. I deserve to be punished but please," He said as he tried to approach her. The Luna watched him in disbelief as the man embraced her tightly in his arms. "Please let me hold you in my arms, even if its just for awhile, even if its just for today. Please..." He begged as tears fell down from his face. 'If I tell her that she's my mate, then I will lose the right to remain by her side.' The Alpha firmly said inside his mind. 'Please, just let me stay while I can, because once she remembers me - I will have to leave.' ※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎-※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎ This book is a work of fiction. The cliche: "Alpha rejects his mate and regrets it once he sees her." WARNING: Over-used plot and plot holes. I just had to write it. *laughs* #MMRM ©Itwasonlyadream801 [Aleana Dela Cruz]

He turns back to face me and I immediately drag out my dagger placing it in front of his throat. Unfortunately for me, he thought to do the same with his own silver dagger. He looks in my eyes and smirks. "Well won't you look at that?" He says, not moving. "What gave me away?" He questions. "You didn't question when I said I wanted a level 2." I answer. He gives me a full-on grin. "I knew I should have said something. Oh well, you're here now which is all I really needed." He says moving the dagger away from my throat. I look at his calm and collected self and slowly put my dagger away as well. "Who are you?" I ask. --- Scarlett Rose is the best warrior in the Pristine Realm so when she is sent on a mission, she does her job.

He grabbed me, and I felt tingles go up my arms. I started to thrash around trying to get out of his grip. As much as my wolf wanted him, I didn't and I wouldn't give in. "Let me go, dammit", I practically screamed at him. "No. You're mine", he screamed back, sending shivers down my spine as I began to relax into him. I jumped suddenly scared that if I didn't stop myself then I would never want to go. I knew what I had to do. "I, Emma St. Germain, reject you, Aiden Douglas, as my mate." I sent him a pitiful look as he fell to the floor, through the mate bond I knew he was in pain. "I'm sorry," I whispered before running as far away from him as possible. ***** She didn't want a mate, she just wanted to survive long enough to avenge her family. So when she finds out that Aiden Douglas, Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, is her mate, and he cheats on her. She rejects him and runs. He is trying to fight for her while she fights her demons. What is she supposed to do when her demons become real? ***** Disclaimer: This is not a book with a happy ending or a love story. If you want a happy ending, this book isn't for you.

A place abundant with magic and full of different races such as Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Witches and Wizards. I've taking inspiration from some of my favorite well known sources to bring this story to life. Some of them include The Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, Eragon and even Harry Potter. If you enjoy epic fantasy stories then I think you'll enjoy my story The Chronicles of Arnora: The Curse of the Blood Moon. This is an original story of my own creation with my own original characters. Before I started publishing my story on Wattpad I've had several people read it and they've told me it was good and they enjoyed reading it and I hope you all enjoy it as well. I've always been told I have a very active and creative imagination and I should use that i it a like and follow for more chapters to come. Please feel free to point out any grammatical errors you find that I may have missed as I'm constantly editing the story to make it better. *If any names in my story are that of real world people it's completely coincidental, I use a random name generator, which creates countless names, to help with the naming of some of my characters.
The Hybrid by sarahkayy09

I jumped to my feet and punched him in the side. There was hardly an effect. "You're weak" he spat, walking a step closer towards me. I growled as I had had it with this blood sucking devil! My blue eyes fumed in anger as my wolf was released. I am a white wolf. Liam's eyes bulged as he saw my true form. He then smiled ready to fight. I lunged for the bastard, knocking him to the ground. His other minions rushed towards me all attaching me at once. I attempted to fight against them. They kept coming on me and it was becoming too much for me to handle. My fur had gone from a snowy white, to a bloody reddish color. So much blood. I laid down. Maybe just a minute of rest. I saw Liam walk up to me. He looked down at me and smiled. "What's wrong little wolf? No more energy?" He smirked. Then Liam was suddenly thrown to the damp ground by something, a jet black wolf with glowing red eyes. He was beautiful with his gleaming coat and strong legs. The black wolf left Liam on the ground and fiercely killed all of Liam's minions easily. He wasn't finished with his prowl, he turned back to face Liam but realized that the pureblooded vampire had already run off. Then I hear a deep growl. "Mate", and my heart stops. ------------ Alexandra's pack is mercilessly destroyed by werewolves most hated species: vampires. The species has hated each other since the beginning of time.

A town hours away, a town she thinks is just abandoned and run down. If only she knew, what was really in the town she was staying in? Sitting in the bar was just a regular day for Judd. Working hard, pack meetings and then sitting back with a drink. It was the same as any other day. Except when she walked in, the woman in heels and looking completely out of place.
