Only in truth, the Lords will abandon their thronesAnd the Unkindled will rise:Nameless, accursed undead; unfit even to be cinderAnd so it is - that ash seeketh embers.When she awakes within a shambled cemetery, her memories muddled and body withered, poor Unkindled Ash is thrown head first into a world mired in ruin, infested with corruption, and covered in ash. A world that, along with it's primordial First Flame, now fades once more.The Lord's have abandoned their thrones, and it's up to her, whether she likes it or not, to return them to their mantles. For if the Lords will not return to their thrones themselves -Let them return as cinders.…
When the torch fires bathed the forests and towns, and black fumes rose above the charred hills, she knew the hysteria had found the people of her village once again.So she fled to the New World, where the churches mania had yet to reach. But her son is already begining the change, and word of witches have flittered about the mouths of men. With fear on everybodies minds, it's only a matter of time before they snap, and the great fires of the witch-hunts finds her home once again.* * *Basically the same deal with The Circle, except I actually did edit this a bit for a school magazine, so it shouldn't be too awful. This story is set in the late 15th century american colonies, during the witch trials in salem and the like. This a sort of indirect prequal to my main story in this "Vampire-verse". The good news is this can be read independability to the main story, so you should be able to follow most of everything.I love this a lot because of how much research I did on the time period and Witch-Hunts in general, and while I do add my own spin on this "alternate" history (Such as knights existing in this time, for reasons that i have fleshed out), I think for the most part you history nerds will have a bit of fun with this one.Unless I have errors. Then we're both fucked.Enjoy!…
There is a place, beyond the charted world. A land that lays beyond the Great Deserts and Ocean of Monsters. It appeared from nothing, and draws men, woman, and rulers from across the realm. Whether they seek treasure, fame, conquest, or adventure, kingdoms rally, setting sail for the Dark Continent - The Land That Came From Nothing.The caveat?It is said that on this land, their are people "out of time". Humans who hail from a world unknown; who capture lightning in bulbs, and listen to voices through little boxes. Their buildings rise higher than any tower the realm has ever bore, and their weaponry can pierce shields from afar. And those who pioneered the voyage have came back touched by madness, or simply never came back at all.But that doesn't stop a mix-matched band of determined heroes, knights, and sellswords from setting out towards this very land. And what they might find their, past the oceans of abandoned vessels and. is a secret kept away from even the gods themselves.***************************************************************************************Cover Art Download at: https://suwalls.com/digital-art/vikings-46945/*I do not own the cover art, nor am I making any or money or ad revenue from said cover art.

Returning from a harsh war only to darkness and spirits, an aged soldier, once a spry lad encounters his old love, who became what he could never be.A short piece that sort of corelates with the poem Of Ants and Aurochs. This is simply the story of a nobles rise to glory and a baseborns descent into depravity.Shoutout to writer mkirin, one of his prompt videos on youtube helped to spawn this not-too-shabby short story. Enjoy!…
Okay, so without a doubt this shit will make absolute zero sense to everyone reading. Theres a reason for that. So basically while I was working on my legit novel (some really snazzy vampire ish) I got to a point about midway where I realized I knew nothing of a certain character; that being Lilith. So Id took a break, and just wrote random shorts of her before the events of the main story, just for myself. So yeah, its going to be shit, but hey, its shit with meaning. While most of the stuff in her never even gets mentioned in the main story, it helped me to mold the characters personality, and for that I love these little shorts.Well then, here ya go. I apologize i advance for what you are about to endure. Godspeed.…
