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.All Rights Reserved

Fallen Gods by Bladewing683

Gods, supreme beings of immense power, often thought to be all knowing and all powerful. But little do people know, they are often just shadows of what they were portrayed to be. And yes, they do lose their way, quite often, in fact. Caught in a tricky situation between two gods who had been holding a grudge against each other for centuries, Steve has to dive into legends, history and lies in order to find the truth. In a world that the very concepts of right and wrong, good and evil were incredibly blurred, this ordinary Minecrafter faces unknown forces that were at work, and for him, the stakes were higher than he had known in his entire life. The ancient rulers of the world was stirring, and Steve would be caught in between them if they decided to show up. Let's say, he wouldn't fancy meeting them. "Come on now, those so called gods are just superpowered beings. They have fallen, they lose their way, make mistakes, and they aren't necessarily all knowing. So to say, true gods don't even exist in this world." This is a standalone Minecraft short story, with zero connection with the others. I don't own Minecraft and those Minecraftian characters.

Alone Together by bookworm_69

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.

Heir to the Ice Queen (Book 1) by Jazzie_delrey

The land is always covered in snow, so how can anything - let alone anyone - survive there? They don't. At least not without the Ice Queen's permission. It's her land that goes on for miles, her power that she gains from the cold, and her wickedness that has kept her the most feared living thing for over a thousand years. And that will soon be my land, my power, and my throne, because on my 100th birthday, I will kill my mother. ***SIDE NOTE: I KNOW THERE ARE ERRORS IN THE STORY ( GRAMMATICAL, TENSE SHIFTS, SPELLING, WRONG WORDS ETC. ETC. ) BUT I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO GO BACK AND EDIT, NOR DO I THINK I EVEN EVER WILL. WITH THAT BEING SAID JUST READ AND ENJOY THE STORY****

Chance Rising by ShaknaIs

The Cycle turns, and the power of the gods is upset as mortality is thrust upon them, in various guises, but the war is just begun, and they must battle for their home, for the darkness has already entered the Folkwang, and the battle is lead by one of their own. Still editing, especially the later chapters, but it's mostly to do with formatting.

that one SWURD by xyltharion

Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)

I am the Fire: Thranduil and Elleth reader fanfiction by MightyOwlOfGondor

"Clouds of fear were quickly covering the once cheerful blue sky. You knew then how unprepared for battle the people of Lake-town were. As you looked out to your left, you could see both dwarves, humans and elves facing one another, ready to rip the enemy of their glory and to claim all the mountain riches to themselves. It was then that the Earth started to shake. It was then the once stable ground became a quaking riot. It was then that Earthworms surged forward, from under the ground and into the light. This was now the Battle of the Five Armies." Opening paragraph of Chapter One You are a fierce elleth that is fighting in the Battle of the Five Armies. Since your father was killed by spiders on guard duty, both you and your mother left Mirkwood so you would not share your father's fate. You expected to see many Mirkwood elves that day, but you certainly did not expect to be fighting side by side with King Thranduil.

The Elementals : The Dawn of Darkness by Theelementalarchive

Okay, so here's how it all began. Basically, teenagers have been vanishing across the country and no one has the foggiest idea what's going on (myself included). But at the end of the day I've got bigger things to worry about, such as the eternal hell that is the last day of high school and my psychopathic chemistry teacher. I've got enough going on in my life to be worrying about something I can't do anything about. Famous last words Nick. Suddenly I find myself being dragged into a world I apparently belong to and there's a war going on. The light and the dark are scrabbling for control and everything is hanging by a thread. And I'm stuck in the middle of it. So with the help of a few new friends, some new enemies, beasts, monsters and superpowered teenagers, I'm somehow going to navigate this mad new world and hopefully get out on the other side with all my limbs still intact. As I always say, it all goes downhill from chemistry. •1st place Fruit Awards Adventure Category. •1st place Sunshine Awards Fantasy Category. •1st place Book Awards Action •Best Plot Book Awards •Best Main Character Book Awards Incredible cover done by the amazing @bibliophile_cap on Fiverr! *Please be aware that this story does require editing*
