Retired Stories

When I was three, I was framed by my twin sister for the death of my unborn sister and the near deaths of my mother and twin brother. I was sent to a 'boarding school' but it was truly an illegal human trafficking agency that sells people or trains and turns them into weapons. I was the second option. I was turned into a human weapon. My hands were covered in blood since the age of five. I was abused, tormented, and experimented on for years ever since I stepped foot into the 'boarding school'. After ten years in that place, I couldn't take it anymore and planned my escape. At fifteen, I finally left that place, but I wasn't alone when I escaped. I had a friend whom I saw as a brother. A year later, we were adopted by a retired Army Sergeant after being caught beating up some thugs who tried to rob us. Over the years, everything's been perfect, but of course, it couldn't stay that way forever. I never knew my life would be thrown into chaos yet again.

The Black Dragon saved the world more times than anyone had ever bothered to count. Now he just wants chickens. After two centuries of war, the legendary hero Vaelkor is finally retiring. No more battles. No more monsters. No more being the realm's most celebrated weapon. All he wants is a quiet life on his countryside estate, far away from politics, glory, and anyone asking him to save the kingdom. Instead, he's ambushed at his retirement banquet with an unexpected wife. Princess Limra of Odendale is beautiful, clever, and far too pleased about their sudden marriage. Desperate to escape an unwanted future, she sees Vaelkor as the perfect solution. Vaelkor agrees to help her, expecting little more than an awkward arrangement and a peaceful coexistence. Unfortunately, Limra has plans of her own. Before long, runaway princesses, political disasters, ancient dragons, and long-buried feelings begin arriving at Vaelkor's doorstep. As more women seek refuge beneath the protection of the Black Dragon, his quiet country estate starts transforming into something entirely unexpected: a sanctuary for those determined to choose their own fate. Now the realm's greatest hero faces the one challenge he never prepared for, love, friendship, and a household full of strong-willed princesses who refuse to be controlled. Retirement was supposed to be easy.

After losing almost everything, an old retired warrior settles in a snowy forest. His quaint and cosy cabin, his defences and walls he manufactured out of wood, and of course the torches lighting his 'territory'. He simply wants to be left alone. He once had a wife, 3 kids and friends living happily in another realm. Now.. things are different. He lost them. His wife is dead, and he dreams of her often. One of his kids was slaughtered in front of him. Another ran away at a young age, and he was never able to find her. The third.. lives with him. His only son. He's training him as best he can. How will he take this unwanted visitor at his doorstep.

A Story of Change A mid-sized tech company in New Delhi was in trouble at a busy corporate headquarters. A big project was going off track because of bad planning and a lack of strong leadership. Deadlines were getting pushed back, and the team's spirits were at an all-time low. Colonel Rajesh Sharma, a retired Indian Army officer who was recently engaged as a project director, is the new leader in charge. He reorganized the team, made communication easier, and set up a clear chain of command. He did all of this with a calm manner and a strategic mind. The project was back on schedule within a few weeks, and the team was doing well under his direction. Colonel Sharma's military training helped him deal with high-pressure circumstances, and it was what the corporation needed but didn't recognize. This narrative isn't just a story; it's a look at the untapped potential of bureaucratic intelligence, which is the unique mix of leadership, discipline, and strategic thinking that former officers and bureaucrats bring to the business world.

Credit to @vienna392 for the cover I have over 50 schleich horses, and around 100 models overall. I'll do amater photography here, with a range of scenery as well. The first few chapters are boring scenery, just remember that it gets better and when this is finished I will probably re-take some pictures. I love comments even more than votes, but if you think it's vote-worthy I'm not complaining (votes are good too, just remember)! If anything I wrote is incorrect, know that it's hard for me to research this so sometimes I will make mistakes. If you don't like a photo, chances are neither do I so just say: "EWWW I hate this it's not AwEsOmE!" and be reassured that I will probably re-take (repeating stuff now, I know) but it may take a while.
