"Hark my dearest friends, the tale of a man modest and lowly."
"Lorenzo, whom creatures and spirits from realms unknown looked upon and wept, as they awaited his death with which he would be brought peace at last. He walked the cold and fruitless streets out of compassion, his grace unmatched by any of his traveling companions. He found himself in the presence of death more than once, and would yet again, for he traveled great distances to secure the life of a single stranger. His only enemy beyond man itself lie in the anger of Khione, and a great snow storm she would cast upon Philadelphia's skies to ensnare the weary, defenseless traveler. His heart would be his downfall, for he will have adopted the one being he was unprepared to care for; a child. The child that would, unbeknownst to him, become his successor."

Cursed Prince
Dumb things can kill you. Dumb things can also get you kidnapped. (Who knew!?) That's how it got me kidnapped at least. The scary thing was I knew my kidnapper. He was my best friend. The scarier thing was he was supposed to be dead. • • • But being kidnapped by her supposedly dead best friend is actually the least of Viana's problems. As her story unfolds, she realizes that there is another dimension, another universe, full of creatures that were only supposed to exist in the imagination of men. The creaking sounds you heard at night, the shadows you think you saw from the corner of your eyes, and the monster underneath your bed as a child--they were all real. It was a world full of demons, and monsters; your nightmares come true. After all, things like love and happy endings only exist in fairytales. And this is not a fairytale. • • • Story under slow, but extreme editing! Finished verion will be MUCH, MUCH better I promise • • •Complete
Death Is My BFFLAD (Book Two Original Series)
(Bfflad- Best friends for life and death) Dear Reader, Let's start at the beginning shall we? I died. Oh no, not one of these stories again where someone angelic and heroic saves the damsel in distress. If only I was that lucky. My heart stopped beating. My lungs stopped working, my soul began to lift away... And then I was saved by a beautiful man with a kind heart and sparkles sprinkled around his head in a golden halo. A cunning, dazzling smile etched his angled features and his hair lay perfectly on his head like...black, sinful layers of pure cynical distrusting evil. Evil that was just waiting to onset a innocent girl as myself and allow her a short amount of time of happiness, and then finish her off when she became older. I'll give you a hint. The beginning of that description was slightly exaggerated. The Angel of Death. One of the only creatures known that was capable of settling the boundaries of heaven on earth. The only creature capable of making one of the Devil's darkest deals to my loving mother; a second chance for her daughter. This comes with consequences of course. Everything you know about Death is wrong. Death is not natural, Death is not normal, Death is not doleful, and Death is far from mercenary. Death blends into the shadows like coal against the most atramentous sky. Death walks the earth with his cursed, monstrous and exotic features, his enticing voice and betraying alluring eyes. Death deceives, scratches, and plays with your mind, until you slowly and painfully loose your grip on reality. He'll make you believe he's a different person, that there's a sliver hope for him. Hope for you. Death is close.

Rise of the ancient god: Reborn of chaos.
The God of Chaos was feared and worshiped in equal measure-a being of boundless destruction who stood alone against the apocalyptic invaders from another universe. But even gods fall. Betrayed and torn apart, he met his end in a war he could not win. Yet death was not the end. Reincarnated as Carson, a powerless boy in a world where humanity evolves beyond its limits, he is nothing but a fragile existence, mocked and discarded. No strength, no abilities-just a weak body destined to be crushed under the weight of a merciless world. Then came the spider. Venom burned through his veins, dragging him toward oblivion. As the last flicker of life began to fade, a voice-cold and divine-whispered into the void: [Ding!] [Congratulations. You have been chosen as the inheritor of the previous master's legacy.] [Will you accept? (Yes/No)] With that choice, the abyss awakened within him. The power of an ancient god stirs once more, but it is twisted, corrupted hungering for vengeance. The world that cast him aside will soon remember the name they tried to erase. And this time, chaos will reign. ----- (A/N: If you notice any errors, broken contents while reading please let me know, I'll go back and make the necessary corrections.) (Disclaimer: This world is pure fantasy and has no relations to reality! If you see cities and countries that are similar to those of real life it is purely coincidence.)
Darkness To The Kore
Death is what comes to people like a thief in the night, snatching them with no intentions of bringing them back. Death is a nagging parent that you try to outsmart time and time again but no matter how many times you may think you have outsmarted them, in the end they will have the last word. Death is the old friend that nobody likes and yet you cannot live without. Death is many things but I never thought it would be my lover. Kore lives alone with her controlling mother, Demi. She hasn't seen any other person besides her homeschool teacher since she was a little girl after a mysterious incident happened at school one day that her mother refuses to talk to her about. She keeps her locked away on a farm and only lets her go out occasionally. It isn't until her cat dies and after picking him up, becomes alive again when she realizes why her mother has locked her away for all these years. She discovers she has the gift of healing. When she confronts her mother about it, her mother reveals to her that they are not human but in fact, Goddesses trapped inside human vessels to protect Kore from the Gods who want to marry her. But things only get worse when one day, as Kore is picking flowers in the meadow, there is an earthquake and she is taken up by this earthquake and falls into the arms of none other than Hades. A modern re-imagining of the story of Persephone.Complete
Hades and Persephone
Persephone has already been kidnapped by Hades, her unwanted and unexpected suitor. Demeter has already cast a famine on all the humans in her grief. Hades struggles to win Persephone over...but perhaps Persephone has always been meant to be with him, and she wasn't an innocent as she was thought she was... Moderate explicit parts. *not finished* "Look, Persephone, you're a reasonable Goddess, more reasonable than most. You have to understand I was not born the Lord of the Underworld. The title was appointed to me because I was the unlucky one. My job is just as important as my brother's jobs. I wasn't selected because of my cruel ways but now because of the way people speak of me and fear me now I am the cruel one whether or not I like it. Do you honesty think it is fair that it should work that way? People take one look at me and assume I'm the devil." Persephone crouches back in her seat. I realize I am standing and seat myself, trying to calm myself. "Do you honestly think that being in charge of the dead and judging them makes me undeserving of love, of a wife? I'm doomed to be exiled down here. I don't even have the sun to keep me warm, Persephone. You're all the sun I have..." *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete
In the Absence of Light
I laugh at you pitiful humans who scurry about this Earth with out a purpose seeking only life, but finding only death. I welcome death. I know what is coming, and the Goddess of Darkness will welcome me into her kingdom when I die. For now, I serve her purpose. I fight wars in her name, and serve as her avatar when needed. When she first came to me, she burned the love out of my heart. Now I find only humor in silly human affections. Love. It's such a short and despicable word. Maybe I could just enjoy fighting until I died, if it wasn't for the city. My city. My own corrupted city that cast me out for saving one of the city's own. The city I spit upon for its treatment of the gods and goddesses chosen people. I swear that one day, I will come back. Something must be done, and maybe, just maybe, the Goddess of the Absence of Light might choose me as her instrument of salvation, or destruction.Complete

Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️
[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.Complete
