We've been around, for a very long time. We've watched innumerable scores of creatures die, watched empires crumble, great rulers wither away , and planets themselves collapse into barren wastelands devoid of life.
But we've also seen races, brought back from the brink of extinction, kingdoms saved during their final hour, planets and entire star systems blossoming with life and prosperity, all because of our actions.
Yet even so, too often have we been too late to save a planet, or a species, that we sometimes feel very small, very insignificant, when we think of the grandiose ideas many have of gods and their all encompassing power over the universe. Some have even gone so far as to call us a god, despite our failures, but we know better than to believe them.
We are just as mortal as any other.
But they persist in their beliefs, despite what we have told them, what we have shown them to be the truth. So for the time being, perhaps we are a god, at least in their eyes.
They even gave us a name ; Providence.

Power Rangers Knights of the Galaxy: Beginnings
A year has passed since the Milky Way Galaxy was wiped out. Earth is a ghost of a memory. The Rangers survived, but the grief is a constant, heavy weight. They failed their world. Their survival is owed entirely to Delta, their former master. In his final, desperate act, he sacrificed everything, tearing half of humanity from the destruction and flinging them across the stars to his home world, Zeqa. This act of pure sacrifice is the debt they now live under. Settling on Zeqa is brutal. How do you "get over" the end of the world? Though they're surrounded by a strange, vibrant new environment, they're no longer the most important heroes; other saviors are stepping up. The Rangers live on, some trying to accept their diminished roles. But space doesn't care about a fresh start. The cosmos promises adventure on an unimaginable scale, but also danger they can't comprehend. Just as they start to find a foothold, they crash headlong into a nightmare: a lethal stranger with utterly blank motives. They are nearly killed, almost meeting the same fate as Earth and Delta. Then, when all seems lost, an extraterrestrial swoops in, saving them. This savior, however, has an agenda. They desperately need the Rangers' help to save their own world, Esperanza. The survivors of a doomed planet are now immediately dragged into the heart of the next impending disaster.![Ashes of Tomorrow [Arknights x OC's]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/403313466-256-k422620.jpg)
Ashes of Tomorrow [Arknights x OC's]
Terra-a world scarred by endless disasters and the deadly infection known as Oripathy. In this fractured land, nations rise and fall beneath the weight of corruption, prejudice, and survival. Amid this grim reality, a sudden anomaly tears open the sky, sending three teenagers from another world into Terra. Yutaro and his sister Koyuki awaken deep within the frozen territories of Ursus, while their friend Drayton finds himself lost in the bustling city of Lungmen. Strangers to this harsh world, their arrival sets off a chain reaction that alters the future itself. Divided by distance but bound by destiny, the trio must navigate the shadows of politics, war, and moral decay-each step drawing Terra closer to a future no one could predict.

Terra's Primal War's [Arknights x OC's]
The world of Terra has long endured its suffering-wars unending, nations fractured, and the slow, merciless advance of Oripathy. For centuries, mankind has struggled merely to survive, clutching to what little stability remained amidst calamity. Yet, in the waning years, the Ursus Empire sought to transcend limitation. A council of scientists unveiled an experimental machine-the Particle Accelerator. Its purpose was veiled in equal parts ambition and desperation: to harness a boundless new source of energy, or perhaps to forge a weapon that could alter the balance of power across Terra. But their gamble tore a wound in the very fabric of reality. Through the rift they opened, another world was revealed-strange, vast, and untamed. At first, awe overcame fear. Explorers dreamed of conquest, of knowledge, of advancement beyond measure. Then came the shadows. Not men, nor beasts familiar to our lands, but creatures innumerable. From the abyss poured teeth and talons without end, a tide of hunger and violence. The scholars of Ursus were the first to witness it, and the first to perish. Thus marks the most recent tragedy in Terra's already blood-soaked history. The portal remains a scar upon our world... and a reminder that some doors, once opened, should never be touched again.
.A Spark From Before.
What would you do if you were suddenly thrust into a future you were never meant to see? Few can answer that question and those that could would wish they wouldn't know the answers. The world she came to see differed greatly from her own, and yet it still was hers, and she came back to it with one goal, save it from annihilation by the hands of those living in it... But will she succeed? -------------------------------------------------- Books in this series: Cryptic 1st book - Elementals - Completed 1st book other pov - Eyes Of Void - Completed 2nd book - Dragon's Legacy - Completed 2.5th book (same world, other place/characters) - Silent Flight - Completed 3rd book - The Shadow Knight - Completed 3.5th book (takes place between 'shadow knight' and 'spark from before') - Humanity's Hubris - Hiatus/being written 4th book (written after the 5th but fits here in the timeline for 4th) - "Just a crow" - Hiatus/being written 5th book - A Spark From Before - Completed 6th book - ??? - Draft -------------------------------------- I HAVE NO MONEY!!!

The Rain (Book 1 - The Unprotected)
**DISCONTINUED** Rain in the UK is common, an everyday thing. So, when it rains one afternoon, no one is shocked or surprised. But when that rain burns the skin off peoples bones and causes their flesh to dissolve, it's no longer looked at the same way. It's hard to run from the sky. It's always above you. It has the power to wipe out an entire world because it's not something that we can control. We cannot save ourselves from the rain, we are completely unprotected. Follow a group of teenagers as they travel through England, running from the rain above them. Relationships will be tested, love will be found and lives will be lost. Will you survive the rain? OFFICIALLY FINISHED AND EDITED! I will take very comment into consideration. Votes will be greatly appreciated and if there is something you don't like or understand, feel free to say.

Terra's God incarnate (Arknights x Male OC)
In the darkest trenches of Iberia's ocean, where light has never touched, something ancient stirs. Born as nothing more than a fragile aquatic creature, it should have perished against the endless storms and the poison of Originium. But Terra is a world of change, and change demands survival. Bombarded by Catastrophes, consumed by Originium, and reshaped by forces beyond comprehension, the creature begins to evolve. Each transformation tears its body apart, only to rebuild it stronger, faster, more terrifying than before. From the sea to the land, from crawling beast to towering colossus, it adapts - it endures. Until at last, it emerges. No longer a mindless animal, but an apex beyond nature. A titan that walks the land, a living engine of destruction, crowned with the name: Ultima. To some, it is Terra's final disaster - the harbinger of extinction. To others, it is the only force powerful enough to stand against the horrors yet to come. Hope or doom, savior or executioner - its roar will decide the fate of the world.
