//Three years after the ending, I have finally decided to start rewriting this story.//
"Remember this: speak only when you must."
Roxanne Carlisa Taylor was seven when she resolved to never speak another word.
For years to come, that day would be known to all mages for the death of the last Speaker of Fate, but little did they know...
That day, a mysterious fire took away the only family Roxanne had.
That day, she inherited two Speakers' powers following their simultaneous demise.
That day, she became the most powerful Speaker of Fate ever known.
Fast-forward eight years and Roxanne found herself immersed in glamour and luxury as Elrtiv's faux princess. Little could touch her heart as she grew up to be a powerful mage, a skilful swordsman, and the first silenced Speaker.

Isran the Great [OLD]
*THIS VERSION ON THE STORY HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED*. Isran can remember next to nothing about her past life. She remembers the world and some distinct details, but the longer she is in this new world, the more things she doesn't really remember, like whether she had a family, where she was going to college, or, most importantly, how she died. Being given a second chance at life was most certainly a good thing. She didn't want to think too hard about the past... she couldn't. Instead, she looked to the future. Given one instruction by the gods that gave her a second chance. To reproduce with at least two women. That was fine. It wasn't pressing and she had time to do other things in the world. A world with dungeons, adventure, and different races. And maybe she wasn't the most assertive, or the most confident... and she was way out of her depth... But you know what they say... the true adventure is the friends we made along the way... or something Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 12:00 pm UTCComplete
Blood and Thunder
You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister.

No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations.

Oaths and Vows {Jaime Lannister}
"Oaths and Vows and Prayers, all things said before Gods and Kings and people called our betters. They're all Just words. They're all just promises. They're all just meant to be broken." Ser Jaime Lannister, The Kingslayer. Lady Megara Emrys, The Silent one. A girl from a House with more power than any other - but the least known house and the last people left thriving in the Shadow Lands Beyond Asshai. A girl who had never spoken a word, a girl no one knows much about, a girl shrouded in mystery. A boy too old to be called a boy, with more blood on his hands then he nor anyone else could ever wash off. A boy known everywhere in Westeros, Essos and even the northernmost points of Sothoros, but yet still not known by anyone - not even his sweet sister. Two people joined together by a deal they had no part in, two people on two different paths that seem to twist and wind and bind together by forces beyond their control. After all, in the wise words of house Emrys; None of us can choose our destiny. *Obviously I don't own Game of Thrones, all rights to that go to George Raymond Richard Martin and HBO, I do own Megara though, and her story line. I also own any plot changes you might notice when reading the story, characters I add, or events I alter.

Dull Colours [EDITED EDITION]
[EDITED EDITION] Hera could no longer hear the clicking of her heels as she walked towards the Magic Fountain, the fountain that would protect her from possession of a Conjured. The floor here was still stone like in the hallway, yet it was dead quiet. Her shoes just made no noise. She was so close she could make out the individual strands of magic in the water of the Fountain when she heard the scream. It was shrill and blood-curdling, filled with so much fear it made Hera want to scream herself. Which she did, when she looked up. It was a Conjured. Looking directly at her. ~~~~~ Hera Giala loves books. She kind of sees herself as a background character, necessary to the plot but not really anything special. Yet no amount of reading could have prepared her for what was to come. A war has been waging for centuries. The war between Giala and Conjured - evil, decaying, humanlike creatures with burning blue eyes and a hatred for royals. Royals like Hera, princess of Giala. And now, as the new queen, it's Hera's job to kill them, and not loose herself or the bright colours of her world in the battle for peace.Complete
Seeds of Sorcery
Prologue: The Prophecy In ancient times, it was said that a great power would arise, a power that would bring magic back to the forefront of the worlds. It was said that this power would be born of lightning and fire and that it would be wielded by a mage of great strength and courage. The world would face great upheaval and danger, but magic would be the key to survival. There will come those who will unite the kingdoms and empires, and they will bring an end to the darkness that has long shadowed the land. It was said that these mages would be the saviour of the worlds and that they would bring hope and light to all. But for many years, the prophecy remained unfulfilled. Magic seemed to be ending, few remained that could wield it. The darkness seemed to grow. The people slowly forgot and those that remembered lost hope, the kingdoms and empires fell and changed and with it brought chaos. But then, one day, a young girl was born in a small village far from the capital. She was born under the sign of lightning, and she had the power of magic within her. And so, the prophecy began. The first of them had arisen, and the journey to bring magic back had begun.
Emblems
((Originally, Phoenix)) “Leave me alone!” Her form flickered in the dim light. The brothers shared a look. “All right,” one started. “Just let us say something first. We know you have powers; we can sense them on you. We can do this because we have powers too. We call it magic. If you want, we can show you.” “Prove it then.” ~^~^~^~^~ There was a monster inside of her – a dark thing that always tried to claw its way out, ripping her insides to shreds as it went. She found no relief from it, maybe because she had no happy memories to find solace in, nor anyone to find comfort in. And yet, Amber could be the catalyst to setting a series of events that had been prophesied centuries before, into motion, bringing together three more people – the embodiments of the Emblems – to bring magic back to life. But in this underlying world of Adepts, Demons and secrets within secrets, unlocking their potential will be harder than you think. ~^~^~^~^~^ So, this is my 2014 Nanowrimo story, which is basically an attempt to rewrite Phoenix, where it shall go through major changes in plot, characters as well as effects of my new-and-improved writing style. I hope you enjoy it, and please give constructive criticism! {Also, the cover is temporary, till I find someone who can help me with it :P}Complete
