    With a single, decisive blow, Cassandra - Shadow of Sammos, immortal warrior, and general of the Thiria - ended the war. The Emperor is dead and the Empire has fallen. Now that she is faced with the weight of rebuilding the world, Cass is blindsided by the choices of people she's never met. A Council she's never heard of demands she deliver the Emperor's head to an enemy general across the vast desert nation of Desheret. With her is a wide array of travelers from every nation, including old friends and old enemies. Cass must learn how to solve problems without her strength, violence, or her army, and navigate a world that doesn't yet know the Emperor is dead.

    "Love... the only force that brought him to his knees when the world could not." **"He is cruel and merciless. His absence was enough to make men kneel. His silence was enough to keep fear alive. He was the king of darkness- a name spoken with trembling mouths and lowered eyes. Yet there existed one word he despised more than rebellion, more than betrayal, more than blood... love."** " the one word capable of being both his ruin... and his resurrection."

    I, a scholar armed with modern scientific knowledge, accidentally fell into a parallel universe-a world governed by laws vastly different from our own. Stranded in the desert city of Aresia, I found its people living in fear of relentless sandstorms-cataclysmic disasters akin to tsunamis on land, striking without warning and leaving devastation in their wake. A grand reward was promised to anyone who could uncover the cause of these storms: access to the city's legendary library, home to the greatest collection of knowledge, perhaps even the key to my return. Determined to unravel the mystery, I embarked on a perilous journey in search of the truth. Yet, lurking in the shadows was an enigmatic element called Mystery, following me like a ghost...

    "The Blind God walks around me, and I feel my mind prodded again like it was in the cavern, a spider weaving a tangled web. "Would you do anything to be remembered, Ode, even play a villain, the one who rises against the Chosen One?" In answer, I draw my dagger and make a slight incision against my thumb. Blood drips down, hot against my flesh. I hold my hand out as an oath, a promise. My ghouls hiss, yearning to drink. "I would rather reign over darkness than grovel as a servant to the light." *FEMALE ROBIN HOOD MEETS ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS* Ode Ngayoh is the only child of a bloodthirsty desert warlord. When the Blind God chooses her as champion, she's deemed a dark witch, a blemish against the Empire for her necromantic powers of summoning ghūls, the undead. Facing off against the prince and his handsome lover, Ode stands alone with the cursed god's favor. However, the more Ode defends the outcasts of the Empire, the more she finds herself being labelled a villain...

    WoF Fanfiction - discontinued and really bad Hybrid was, well, a hybrid. She used to have a good life, kept hidden from the public. She didn't know what type of dragon she was and had no friends, but that didn't matter. She had her icewing dad, who took her out hunting and loved her enough to make up for everything else twofold. She thought that her difference wasn't necessarily bad. That all changed one day. Hybrid and her father were out, close to where they usually went hunting, and were celebrating her third birthday by going whaling. They were spotted. Another icewing took down her father, killing him for harboring a hybrid. Hybrid was dumped in the desert outside of the wall, where she was found by a sandwing. The sandwing drug her out to die in the dunes. She survived. Barely. After being stabbed by the sandwing's tail barb, she thought she was done for. The last thing that she remembered was her front talons feeling way too cold, especially in contrast to her sunburnt body. Then, black. When she woke up, she was even more different. A/N: I apologize, because, looking back, I kind of lost any inspiration for the first idea, can't mesh it with the idea I tried to throw in, and it would not make sense to ignore either of them....... So yeah this is discontinued, it's really a bad story. I may revamp it into a situation that makes more sense some time in the near future, though. Also, I do not claim ownership of WoF, the amazing book series belongs to Tui T. Sutherland. I only claim ownership of my OCs and the Storyline, this is a fanfiction.

    The story follows a lonely man in his journey through isolation and madness, all while keeping his human identity hidden from others. Our setting takes place in the middle of a desert, long, long after the extinction of the human race, and the planet was taken over by intellegent anthropomorphic animals. (This is an obviously unfinished story, and is continuously added to, so follow for updates and such! I'm looking for critiques and recommendations so don't hesitate to post a comment please!)
