"Anno Domini 630. In the years that followed the Jewish rebellion against the roman emperor, Heraclius. He had ordered the expulsion of the chosen from the holy city-Jerusalem, for their insolence against the empire. And in the midst of the aftermath of this forlorn rebellion. A Galilean from Antioch carves his way through the legendary silk road as a means to run from the past he cowardly left behind; a shell of a man who deserted his people in what they thought would be their finest hour, turned out to be their undoing. Now the Galilean pitches the beginning of his tale between the roads of the Persian cities Nishapur, and the holy city Merv; after years of running from each folly, he faulted himself in, his quest for greater pastures is in reach! but will a man who ran from the past find solace in the future? Or will his journey seal his fate in the sands soaked of the blood of a fool." Set in the aftermath of the Byzantine-Sassanian war (602-628 AD), We follow the story of the Galilean in the search of a land to finally call his own, but will he succeed in doing so? Or will he fail and die like the rest of his people? (This is my very first piece so expect plenty of glaring mishaps along the way. And please-if you do find any historical infractions or cultural aspects I failed to take into account, please comment, I am absolutely welcome to criticism) Thank you, and enjoy :3

She put the stack of drawings away, determined never to look at them again, and found ways to keep herself occupied for the next month. And then, according to the law of averages, somebody else in the village got sick, and she, along with everybody else and just as helpless, had to watch from the sidelines and pray for life to prevail in the brutal battle with its reaper. When the struggle ended, she got angry, at life, at herself and at her own ignorance. But anger doesn't make learning go faster, it doesn't make one understand what one can't understand yet, and it doesn't help one perform miracles one hasn't earned. There is no point in being angry at the amount of time it takes to master skills and knowledge. It diverts focus from actually acquiring them. If you find yourself looking long and hard for information about something you really care about and you can't seem to find any references about it anywhere, that means you are the reference; you better figure it out as much as you can all by yourself, so you can be of use to the next person who is going to inquire about it. She pulled out the plant drawings and started from the beginning, and she stopped caring how long it would take to figure out the connections between things, the logic of the whole endeavor, where the knowledge would lead her, or whether it will be something she would actually be able to use. It turns out the only way to tell the plants that heal from the plants that stain your shirt is to tell the plants that heal from the plants that stain your shirt. Everything else is extraneous detail.

L is a natural dolphin linguist who fights to share her inner knowledge with the rest of the world. She is seduced by R, who cannot control his desire for her whenever she wears the rose perfume. Together, R and L collide with common goals to discover the true meaning behind the mermaid statues on the beach, but after L sees a dark shadow above R's head on his birthday, the night descends into trauma and betrayal. Despite R's undying love for her, she disappears into E, whom she said was her destiny all along. L's friend M says only nerds hang out with dolphins, and invites her on a path to popularity instead, which L accepts. M did not follow the usual rules. Despite the danger, part of L was desperate to be included in M's ability to make friends easily, and wherever M went, L went also. When M invited L to her house after school, L went anyway, even though her mother forbade it. Unable to resist M's freedom and lack of restrictions, L discovered the truth behind the illusion M presented to the world: M's siblings bullied her. While L sat on the floor with the snacks M snuck in, M fought off a brother and sister who called her wounding names and made her cry. No adult came to stop the fight until it was over, and her father took her sister's side. At that moment, L realized the price of self-governance was not what it seemed, and M was fighting an internal battle she had not seen from the outside. L saw that M needed her as much as she needed M. L decided then that no matter what happened, they had to stay friends forever. Until the day came when M finally got the opportunity to hang out with her sister's cooler crowd in a bar downtown, even though they were underage. M said it was a surprise to celebrate her driver's license and drove them all the way there. But when they arrived, L said she did not want to go inside, and M could not forgive her.

Before she was remembered as the First Mage, she was Evelyn-thirteen years old, heir to the throne of Dragonnaw, and the only child in a powerful magical bloodline who had never awakened. Her parents wield mana with ease. Warlocks train in the courtyards beneath her windows. Children younger than her have already felt that first spark of magic bloom beneath their skin. Evelyn, meanwhile, has studied every technique, memorized every theory, and pressed her hand against the same silent mana stone more times than she can count. Nothing ever answers. But Evelyn has never been particularly good at accepting an answer simply because everyone else believes it. When she begins questioning what an awakening actually is, her failure slowly transforms into something far more dangerous: curiosity. What begins with ancient books, stubborn experiments, and a wooden feather becomes a discovery that threatens everything Dragonnaw understands about magic. Mana does not belong only to the awakened. It does not belong to anyone. It flows through everything. And if magic can be understood instead of inherited, then perhaps it can be learned. As Evelyn begins mapping the invisible patterns beneath the world, she unknowingly lays the foundations for Magecraft, magical notation, linking, and the ancient art that will one day become known as Naming Magic. History will remember her as the First Mage. But first, she has to become the girl brave enough to ask why the rules exist at all.
