In a world of magic, sorcerers reign. However, sorcerers also fight for power. The neighbouring countries of Herculea and Hades are at war, and magical battles can be costly. After one of their greatest sorcerers is taken, the Herculeans are close to defeat. The last hope for their people, a mismatched pair of apprentices must risk their lives journeying into enemy territory on a rescue mission. With the fate of the magical world on their shoulders, can the unlikely heroes change the course of the war and bring back victory?
This is a super short story that I wrote for my big, end-of-the-year creative writing project for my English class. It's an idea that I've had in mind for a while, and this gave me an excuse to write part of it. If this gets a positive reaction, I might write it out in novel form with the rest of the story. Right now it's in Campbell's form - condensed. A LOT. The parts are really insanely short, but I only got ten pages for the project, so it had to be that way. If anyone can take 15 minutes to read this, and comment what you think, it would be greatly appreciated.

The Book of History (Discontinued)
I've finally taken a break from Undertale! I know, crazy, right? Anyways, this is going to be a Percy Jackson fanfiction. I introduce quite a few OC's in this story. I suck at descriptions, so I'll give it my best shot. The world has been saved from power-hungry immortals seeking vengeance multiple times.

This even goes for a small group of friends that recently moved to New York. But are they really mortal?

She has seen every crook and cranny of the dairy state, but after an accident, she finds herself in the state of New York. She lives with her grandma in a small house in the suburbs of Manhattan. Despite all she's been through, she loves living with the one person she felt closest to, away from trouble. Until now. Beth has grown up in the Windy City and stayed there for her whole life. Her mom has decided that going to New York for vacation would be a good idea. They're now staying in a hotel close to the beautiful sights of Long Island Sound and hopes to relax. But then she sees something by the Sound. . . . Cornelius has grown up in the ghetto and has learned to be tough. He's picked up many things on the streets and has lived off his wits and strength. He has now moved to Manhattan in yet another ghetto. But will he be tough enough to face the challenges ahead? The three friends have reunited only to be whisked away by a mysterious teenager. Now, they're all they have. They will learn to work together and save the world. Who is the enemy, and will these new friends succeed? None of the characters except for my OCs belong to me.

Escape from Whitestone Hold
When tensions flare into an-all out rebellion, Sapphira's hometown is turned into a city-wide warzone. The Magistrate are ruthless in restoring order within the blood-soaked walls, catching civilians in the crossfire. Hope is scarce. What more is there to do but flee with what survivors remain? This is a spinoff backstory for a D&D campaign based in the world from "Paladins: Champions of the Realm." Plenty of intellectual rights shenanigans here that I'm not smart enough to address, but it's all in fun. When writing I kept the theme from D&D world of "letting the characters choose wrong/useless paths to explore" as an unnecessary rule imposed on myself, which took more effort than I expected due to sidetracks, but I still enjoy the story that resulted. I wrote this rough draft with the *intention* to go back and polish it someday... Buuuut eh, I probably never will. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Complete
Fall Of The Eldest - Percy Jackson

Hope you enjoy! I do not own the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians nor Blood of Olympus or any of the characters from those books. That all goes to Rick Riordan.

And Will wants Nico to start taking a little more responsibility for his health. Good times. But a new threat is on the rise, one that no one could foresee.

He is in control of the camp, immediately abolishing Frank and Reyna as Praetor. His first decree?... wiping out the children of the eldest gods. The sons and daughters of Poseidon, Zeus and Hades are now wanted against the law with little to no odds of survival. Friends are made and broken. Loyalties shattered. Secrets spilled. lives ended. Will this injustice crumble, or will the extinction of the most powerful and beloved demigods become reality?

Professor Nico Di Angelo [DISCONTINUED]
It was a couple years after the Battle of Hogwarts. A lot of people were finally getting over their shock of the war. Well, most. There were still plenty of people who were still grieving their friends or family's or people they just knew's death. George, for instance, hasn't told or did a prank in months after his twins death. They were practically two puzzle pieces, and if put together, the best prank combo ever. Also, Harry was devastated when Remus and Tonks died, he tried not to show it though. He didn't want people giving him sympathetic looks and what not. Remus was the one who taught him the patronus charm and saved his life countless of times. And Tonks always shifted her form to a pig or something and made him laugh. There were also loads of other people who were grieving also and Hecate was getting worried. You see, Hecate gave four mortals the ability to use magic, but threw magic sticks instead. They soon after made a magical school to teach young witches and wizards to use magic. Centuries gone by and the story of how they got there magical powers twisted and turned until Hecate was out of the picture. Now Hogwarts and many other institutes around the world are basically Hecate's pet world. Anyways, the one person who Hecate know that has gone through the most heartbreak, trauma, and betrayal and that is still sane is... Nico Di Angelo. He will know how to sympathize for these wizards and help them cope. But will the young masters like him? Will they be scared of him? Or will they think he is one of the best teachers at Hogwarts?

No smut Included because I hate it and they're kids in this (I wrote this when I was only 12 so if there was smut I would be concerned for my sanity even more) -i edited it onto whatpadd from my notes😭 Also I changed it slightly so there's gaps between stuff idk.
