Ashes of Vael- The Pilgrim's Blade by gladhillc

The Holy Monastery of Vael lies in ashes. From its ruin walks Brother Aedric-once a knight of great renown, now a monk sworn to restraint, silence, and sorrow. Bound by vows he no longer fully trusts, he travels a land where faith is fracturing and councils mistake delay for wisdom. At his side hangs Oathbrand, a blade blessed to strike only those who kill unjustly. But as shrines are emptied, pilgrims vanish, and obedience is rewritten into doctrine, the sword grows heavy-burdened not only by sin, but by judgment denied. Across broken roads and quiet cities, pale figures begin to appear. They do not announce themselves. They do not need to. They stand at crossings. They linger beneath shrine steps. They watch who is allowed to pass-and who is asked to kneel. Where they linger, prayer is altered. Scripture is thinned. Words are stripped of mercy until only obedience remains. As Erevale closes its gates and calls hesitation wisdom, Aedric comes face to face with an enemy that does not hunger for territory, but for surrender. At its center stands the Pale Knight, and around him move warriors bound by ritual and silence-men emptied of self, remade into instruments that do not question what they are told to become. When restraint begins to fail and mercy is tested beyond safety, a fallen prince-marked not by innocence, but by forgiveness-steps into a role no council dared to name. In a world where faith is claimed by fire and obedience is demanded without truth, one sentinel must decide how long patience can stand before it becomes denial. Judgment is coming. And God will not be silent.

NONE SHALL INHERIT by EnigmaOfAbsolute

Year of Our Lord 1013. Francia is lost. Capetians usurpers sit the throne, fattened on treachery, while the last daughter of the Carolingian dynasty rots in exile. Emma of Normandy now lives beneath false names in forgotten keeps, guarded by liars who whisper of destiny but treat her like coin to be spent. When her enemies draw near, Emma flees across the sea to Denmark. There, she finds no peace, only more plots. King Sweyn Forkbeard sees in her a weapon to wield, a prize to marry to his young and untested son Canute. But the journey to Jelling is long, and her escort is led by Askeladd, a mercenary with veiled motives. Among them is Thorfinn, a young warrior burdened by vengeance, tasked with guarding a princess who refuses to be protected. As old empires die and new kings rise, Emma walks a knife's edge between pawn and player. The blood she's spilled cannot be undone, and the future she once killed for slips further from her reach. In the land of the Normanni, nothing is sacred... and none shall inherit without blood. Note: This is a work of historical fiction. While vaguely inspired by the real Emma of Normandy, the events herein are wholly reimagined through the brutal, tragic lens of Vinland Saga. It contains graphic violence, mature themes, and a stylized prose reflective of its medieval setting.

The villagers, initially accepting, turned against her in fear, claiming that she was cursed. Haunted by grief and regret, Thaila distanced herself, rejecting people altogether and sinking into deep despair. She turned to self-harm as a coping mechanism, cutting herself as penance for her perceived curse. Then, news emerged of a potential cure in the mysterious land of Mirkwood, but fear engulfed Thaila. However, Legolas, captivated by her tale, offered his companionship and promised protection along the journey. Initially reluctant, Thaila eventually agreed to leave the only home she had ever known.

Upon reaching their destination, Thaila and Legolas knelt before the wise King Thranduil of Mirkwood, Legolas' father. They beseeched his wisdom, seeking the cure that lingered on the edge of their dreams. As the story unfolds, Thaila learns to embrace her inner power and beauty, realizing that she has been blessed with unique, extraordinary gifts rather than curses.
