In a land of gods and goddesses, monsters and men, saints and transgressors, power and weakness, warriors and warmongers, there are many tales to be told. There are many men that rise to power, religious, militaristic, economical, or cultural, but all fall. All men fall, life is just contest to see who can rise to fall the farthest into the cold embrace.
The winters are harsh in Aasern, but the people survive, the clans survive. They wait in their forest halls and mountain homes, waiting for direction. They have squabbled and bickered, but now they sense a threat. The northern winds are just a little warmer, the passes are beginning to melt after so many years.
The coastal king looks south as the spring melts begin, and begins to gather his forces. The warriors are restless, but not all are setting their sight in the same direction, the call of the predator has been heard.
They, the long forgotten children, are lost no longer.

Alone Together
This story really starts in the middle. Ari, who often goes by A, is propped up against a tree in the middle of a forest with a dagger in her stomach. She's lost a lot of blood already, and she keeps losing more. Helios is kneeling next to her, and they're both trying to figure out what to do. I'll start at the beginning, though. Ari is a wanderer, traveller, adventurer, and lots of other things. She doesn't have a home, until one day she does. She's chased into the Akiire territory by the Akiire's enemies; the Tesera. Luckily for her, the chief of the Akiire tribe takes her in. Akiire medicine men and women fuss over her until they're sure she's safe. Then the Akiire initate her as a member of their tribe. She gladly accepts. She's started to like it there, after all. Then Helios starts talking to her. He's nothing special in the tribe. He's a good warrior, but all the warriors are good. The bad ones have already died. Nonetheless, by the time we get to the forest with the dagger and all that, A has only spoken to Helios a few times. Now he's her only way to stay alive.Complete
Greenleaf (Legolas x Aragorn)
𝗔𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝘅 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘀 "Blood and lives were getting lost but none lost their courage. Despite the violent atrocity that had unfolded months earlier, beautiful moments emerged, and some would argue that they made the struggle worthwhile. Despite how Saruman's powers currently used it, the forest remained graceful. Sun shone through the leaves and lightened a specific spot of the battlefield. There stood Aragorn and Legolas. They both fought with great reasons haunting their minds. Over the ages, the cruelty of their surroundings eroded many people's faith. However, as Aragorn and Legolas fought side by side, something greater rekindled their trust in destiny." Chapter XVII *** King Aragorn and Prince Legolas haven't spoken to each other since their last encounter went wrong. But a new great evil threatens Middle Earth and they find themselves in the same team again. Together they have a power that no other equals but what they fight happens to be bigger than expected and keeps challenging their love. *AUComplete![The four towers of Valier [Lotr] ✔](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/209692421-256-k504082.jpg)
The four towers of Valier [Lotr] ✔
The four towers guarding over the inner ring of the massive stronghold were the first thing travelers would see when riding up to the Grey city of Valier. It is held by an immortal race of men. These men, despite them not being bound to the fate of mortality, were not remotely similar to elves in their appearance. They were created by Manwë, Ulmo and Melkor on accident when their enourmous energies crashed, fused and birthed from bare rock, water, fire and air a living, breathing creature. Their appearance and temper was a reminder of their creation. Isolated from the folks of middleearth they lived a life amongst their own, hailing their creators and the Iluvatár as their highest gods. They were the only folk that still spoke the name of the forsaken Valar with worship in their hearts. I do not claim any ownership of the Lord of the Rings franchise.

World Saga: A Vessel Unbound
What if the myths were never wrong - just waiting? The world changed the day the towers appeared- impossible monument of stone, sand, and something older than any history. They rose overnight, each pulsing with a power stranger than any other. The fallout was immediate. Governments scrambled. Religions fractured. And myth began to blur with history-until neither could be trusted. Inside each tower, something ancient waited, offering power to those brave-or desperate-enough to listen. Shin was just a student when the towers came. A nobody with nothing to lose. But he walked into the storm and emerged as something else. Now, he hunts what others fear to approach-chasing the truth behind the towers and the divine beings within them. But the higher he climbs, the more the truth begins to twist. The towers aren't doors. They're warnings. And what lies beyond them... is no longer waiting to be found. What to expect: - A competent, strategic MC - Multiple worlds - Unique power system blending cultivation and magic - Rich lore and layered mysteries inspired by Tower of God, Percy Jackson, and Lorien Legacies

A routine patrol escalated and Aearon soon found herself separated from her brother and the rest of the Teleri forces, pursuing a group of dark creatures that tormented her lands. While carrying out her duty, Aearon found herself at the mercy of the cold Prince of Mirkwood and King Thranduil himself. Finding herself locked in Thranduil's dungeon, the she-elf soon finds herself becoming friends with the most unlikely of creatures who steer her life on to a whole new path. Accompanying the group of dwarves to their home, Aearon finds herself battling both foe and feeling as she struggles to survive the dangers of middle earth. Will she allow herself to become compromised by her feelings or will she continue on her journey to prove herself. Either way, she will do whatever it takes to keep her word and help her friends while avoiding another stay in King Thranduil's dungeon, much to his displeasure.
