Checkmate Stories

The void stretches endless, starless, silent. Suspended in that nothingness floats a cosmic chessboard - squares black as pitch and white as bone, every piece carved from souls and shadow. Opposite each other stand the two players. Lira watches two pawns take shape: Philip IV, burning with envy, and Jacques de Molay, gleaming with the quiet strength of the Templars. Her strawberry‑blonde hair falls in waves of autumn copper, and her gaze is steady, though heavy with foreboding. She knows what is coming. And she knows how hard she will have to fight. Asmodeus stares at the board, and pure, unadulterated joy bursts out of him. He steps forward, golden eyes blazing, grinning so wide it looks like his face might split. "Five hundred years," he purrs, rubbing his hands together in delicious anticipation. "Five hundred years of suffering. All because one king could not bear to see another stand taller than him. The Templars will burn. The throne will drown in blood. And the last of Philip's line... will lose his head." He leans across the board, taunting and triumphant. "Game on, Little Halo. Try not to weep when France falls."o

Kinger wakes up one night to the sound of his wife's tears. Her eyes look... different, somehow... A Queenie abstraction one-shot. My first story on here! A Checkmates romance/dramatic fanfic. Hope you all enjoy ^^ And yes, hopefully I will write more :D

Weiss, the daughter of an important business man is always changing schools, but this move feels a bit more permanent. It would be an average experience for Weiss, a new school, and a new place to feel alienated. Well, that's what she thought at least, until she meets a certain moody girl. I don't own any pictures or other things used

//It was like when you make a move in chess and just as you take your finger off the piece, you see the mistake you've made, and there's this panic because you don't know yet the scale of disaster you've left yourself open to.// -Kazuo Ishiguro And that's how life works, one move controls a destiny. One mistake, beholds a new lesson. One checkmate, and it's all on point. But after the game ends, the Queen and the Pawn are both tossed into the same box;and that's what makes us human. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Copyright © 2016 by MochaMilkshakes'

''Most of the students were out, enjoying the rare sunny weather on this February weekend. Not her. The girl took the chess board, and went to sit by the window. Her forest green eyes stopped on me, confused, but she shook her head and continued to place the cheap plastic pieces in front of her. She was doing her thing. Sitting by the window, making the pieces dance on the board. People called her crazy. Why was she always playing chess alone, at the same time, every single day? Nobody knew, and I'm pretty sure nobody cared too. She was just the lonely Cameron Meadows, the mad chess girl, endlessly repeating the same routine, as if programmed in her mechanical system.''

But I do have this one pretty brutal yet sweet bleeding red little secret and That's when my real story begins. --- "Trials of the Immortals" Just what the hell are you talking about?... --- Note: Guys this story includes rated-r and some words not for young ones to practice and learn so guard yourself up as Drake takes you to his storyline.
