Despite a prophet warning, the Hebrew people continue to disobey Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So He allows their enemies to destroy Jerusalem and take the Hebrews back to Babylon. Forced into captivity, Daniel finds favor with the king. But the Magi are jealous of Daniel's special friendship with King Darius. They hatch a plan to get rid of him for good...
"Young Daniel and his friends stared over the walls of Jerusalem at the fierce Babylonian army below. The prophet Jeremiah had warned the Hebrews that if they kept worshipping false gods, enemies would attack the city. Now the king of Babylon and his soldiers were here. King Nebuchadnezzar and his army had come and set up camp outside Jerusalem. They were not letting anyone go in or out. The Hebrews ran out of food and their stomachs grumbled. They became so hungry that they threw open the city gates and let their enemies come inside. The soldiers broke down the city walls and set fire to the palace. They destroyed people's houses and stole the precious gold and silver cups from the Temple. Then they captured many Hebrews, including Daniel and his friends, and took them back to the mighty city of Babylon...."

One moment you are his greatest treasure, The next you become a mere speck of dust - Pharaoh's love comes and goes like each beat of a butterfly's wing... With Pharaoh's love you are the only woman in Egypt - Yet once he deems you undesirable... His love can break your heart into a thousand bloody shards.

Echoes of Babylon
"My name is Esharra, and though the years weigh heavily upon me, I stand as a witness to the resilience of our people. We have endured loss, abandonment, and the cruelty of kings, yet we are still here. Babylon may no longer claim us, but her memory runs through our veins like the rivers that once fed her fields. I have led my people through fire and ruin, not because I sought power or glory, but because I could not bear to see them fall. We have built anew, on land that holds no allegiance to tyrants, where our children can grow without fear. As I look upon this valley, our home, I know my time is nearing its end. But I am at peace. The stories of our past are now the foundation of our future. Let them remember not the man who led them, but the strength they found within themselves. Babylon lives, not in stone or empire, but in us. And so long as we carry her spirit, she will never be forgotten."Complete

Blood (Epic of the Mediterranean) [Book 1]
They say that keep your friends close, enemies closer. But just how close? Close enough so as to have them carve out your heart, or close enough for them to secure an inevitable place inside it? How much can you trust them, that is, if you can trust them at all. --- An-Ki Naya, the third daughter of the Assyrian dynasty of Kinkha which held a short lived rule on the Persian Empire, gets abducted and brought in as a slave after a complete end to her family line. No one and nothing is left of the once mighty history of Mesopotamia, the sole rubble being her hope which is shattered by the regret of being alive. Persia expresses immense contentment with the end of the mortal enemy and takes the peace as an indicator for a rule of serenity. Only, it isn't quite so. The most treacherous member of the Kinkha blood is still alive, a threat which wasn't taken under consideration since the time she was born. An impending conspiracy dawns with her which includes many participants hidden within the empire under the forged veils of loyalty. The Lord of the Persian state of Bactria is Asmaka Araxa Kayasth, one of the five most prevalent powers which were involved in the victory of Cunaxa. Sharing a history of enmity with the Kinkha family name, he annexes Sogdiana while crushing them into nonexistence. He takes in a slave, without an idea about what all would come with her. 4th century B.C. Persia is the supreme empire of its time with Arthaxerxes II as its shahanshah. A period which was drawn by the blood and valor of the most prodigious rulers and the knowledge of self-actualization throughout the world. Behind the blinding shimmer of the exquisite luxuries exist conflicts of family and values, betrayals, treacheries, imperial enigmas, tension amongst thrones, hunt for spiritual wisdom and uncertainties. *** [COMPLETED]Complete
Hades × Maleficent, a descendants based fan-fiction

We all know Maleficent's wrath had once cursed an entire kingdom, a beautiful princess and the Prince that was to save her. Well, this is when you get to know my version of their full journeys, hardships, etc blah blah blah...I shan't bore you with history. So let's get straight to when Maleficent was born, shall we..? Please do not copy or retrieve any ideas from this story...It is all my efforts* put in, you know, I would not like others to take credit for my hardwork, but, the cover page's credit belongs to someone else and not me, though it did take me quite a long while to find it...... *There are parts of this book that are in reference to extracts from Isle of the Lost by Melissa De La Cruz P.S. It's 2022 now and I wrote this when a few years back when I was 11/12 it's very cliche and gets a little cringe so ahaha I don't want to delete it because I didn't back this up into google documents (back then I wrote solely on Wattpad's app) but here's a warning that it's not going to be very...well, in terms of linguistic ability and maturity. Alternatively, you can check out my later Descendants/Hadeficent book on Wattpad too, or oneshots I have uploaded onto AO3 :)Complete
Born In Hell (Book II)
Kids are such a joy aren't they. You know 2 grandkids of Lucifer with 2 more on the way, 2 hardheaded smartasses that came from king dumbass himself, 1 of death, 2 of war and 2 of the enemy. Joyous right? Yeah, so let's have a little reunion. It's been years since they've all been in one place. Might as well get the band back together. I know you'll miss me narrating the whole shindig, but I have to give the kids a chance, because shit is about to hit the fan. I'm not talking about the soft shit, I'm talking the messy kind, that is out of control. The kind that leaves you with love, hate and confusion. That's all I can say, you'll have to find out for yourself to see what happens. Oh did I forget to mention they have no idea of the power they hold? -------------------------- "You told her?!" I flinched at mom's tone. "Kali- wow," Belle breathed when she turned to see her sister gone. "Kali told her, not me." Ma's hands were shaking at her sides. I've never actually seen her get mad to that point before. Now she looked like she wanted to fight, but she always tells me not to. I really want to see how this plays out since she's war and all. "Should I tell Uri, or Nasima, or should I feed the twins to fire and let the rest find them?" Belle's eyes literally turned a shade darker in green. "You wouldn't like it, so why didn't you stop Kali?"Complete
