Follow Esri, a Toronto teenager, who starts having vivid dreams about cave people. With the help of Clea, a mysterious old woman, Esri discovers that she's a Mender with the power to move through time, mending the past to create a better future.
Under Clea's guidance, Esri is living a parallel life 75,000 years ago when cataclysmic events reduced the human race to mere hundreds. The events that unfold within the Flat Rocks clan will set the direction for the social evolution of the human race.
Esri bounces back and forth in time trying to accomplish her Mending while keeping her everyday life on track. She finds help from many new and somewhat unusual friends - critical allies when she confronts the evil Disruptors, strange beings who can also move through time, bitter enemies of the Menders.

Rising Powers
(74,890 words) The wind rushed past me as my wings beat against the night sky. I noticed a copse of trees up ahead. I slowed to a stop, talons clutching a low-hanging branch. I looked beyond the trees and a pair of glowing golden eyes met my own. Wolf eyes. My eyes widened in fear as I took off. I dodged the trees in my path, but one branch snapped on my wing. My vision blurred, pain lacing through my wing. I continued to flap my wings, clinging desperately to the notion I would make it out alive. More than one wolf was chasing me, their paws a staccato on the ground. They would catch up. They would devour me. I tried to stay in the air, but the pain was unbearable. I fell to the ground, fluttering down like a dead leaf. I snapped my eyes open. Breathing heavily, I sat up. My room shifted in and out of focus as my eyes adjusted. When I was little, my father always told me that dreams were just my imagination, that people were never chased by wolves, and people certainly could never be birds.

Lupine
Shifters have lived in secret for centuries, but when they begin to be cannibalized, a rogue must leave her home and confront the monsters who changed her to stop the murders. Oleda has never lived with a Pack. When she was attacked by a wolf at twelve, she never expected to become one herself. Out of fear that she'd hurt those around her, Oleda fled into the wilderness to tame the beast insider her. A decade later her life as a lone wolf in Minneapolis was becoming hard. Human news filled with murders, people attacked by wolves or figures in the dark and pulled away from friends in broad daylight before the bodies were found in pieces... if at all. Only Oleda knew that monstrous creature was like her. In an effort to find it and save more humans from such a gruesome end, she'll need to find a pack willing to help. This is war and in war lone wolves die. This is the first work I've put on Wattpad since high school (and those are rather tragic). Anything else you see is old as hell, but I really wanted to get back into writing for myself. Enjoy!Complete
