A Celestial Heirloom: The Princess (Ch.1)
Jeanne of Mourniac The small coach jolted along the dirty cobblestones of the glassworks path, struggling to navigate through the bustling crowd on this hot day of August 23rd, 1572. Seated on the rear seat of the carriage, Jeanne, Countess of Mourniac, faced the Count and Countess of Oustremont. However, the attention of the young Countess of Mourniac was not directed towards her uncle William or her aunt Justine. She rather had her eyes fixed on the handheld mirror she had just purchased on the Saint-Michel Bridge, gazing at her reflection for quite some time. Jeanne was a rather tall and attractive young woman – though rather slender by the standards of the time. She was dressed in a long scarlet silk houppelande with white sleeves and fringes adorned with speckled white and tawny stoat fur. The houppelande was adorned on the front with a long pearl necklace that accentuated the shape of her chest otherwise discreetly concealed by the rigid corset she wore beneath her gown. Her

DarChronicles Magic System
With me having completed DarChronicles Volume 1 – Assassin Princess, I figured it would be a good time to explain the magic system. While I have explained it before, this current iteration is version 6 and it's more in-depth than ever. Yes, the magic system is explained in Chapter 4 of Assassin Princess with more information regarding magic scattered throughout the novel. What is magic? To explain this, first we have to take a deep dive into DarChronicles lore. DarChronicles, while set in a steampunk fantasy world, takes place in the future—technically being a post-apocalyptic world. In ancient times, humanity had flourished as a civilization and achieved its pinnacle, being able to draw energy from even the stars through the use of dyson spheres and they traversed outer space and colonized multiple planets throughout the galaxy. Humanity had become an intergalactic civilization. In this advanced society, humanity eventually built these devices that the citizens of Bectar

“All the times A gemstone chimes A kobold gets its wings!” Marzanna the Devastator woke alone in her great, gold-filled lair beneath her towering mountain in the center of her barren lands, with a hunger she did not recognize. Raising her head from the arum mass of coins, she inventoried her tremendous collection as it spilled from her massive, horned skull. The accumulation of almost a thousand years, her hoard covered the cavern’s floor, filling the smaller chambers and spilling into her personal apartment where it was deepest. It had been long since the red dragon had felt any kind of hunger at all. A grand wyrm of her power and size consumed mana from the earth itself and when she did eat, almost nothing went to waste. She needed no one and nothing - save the earth itself. Thanks to her great flames and powerful magic, nothing grew or lived for hundreds of miles around her barren mountains. No living thing had any reason to traverse those lands; all its mana fed only her, and

ToD - A Girl and Her Dragon Remastered Ch. 4
Tales of Dyannor A Girl and Her Dragon Chapter 4 – Escape By J.C. Solis “So… your name is Jaegar, child?” wondered the great, black-scaled dragon as he mused to his new guest. “It is a rather bold and commanding name. I surmise that your sire gave it to you to preside authority, given your possession of Godlight.” The young lad looked up at this new caretaker: a beast that, by all accounts, was terrifying and perhaps should have killed him – though in hindsight, the dragon almost did. But the dragon was quite the character, given time to understand the creature and where it comes from. The two of them, a human lad and a great wyrm, remained within the cave deep inside the Azkhal Forest’s Haunted Mange, a place no one with the right amount of sense would dare enter on a whim. But the dragon chose this spot to call him home. Perhaps it was to keep as far away from hominid society as he could. The beast was larger than a regular dragon, so it must possess powers much greater than a
Apollo's lyre, Amaterasu's grace, In every corner of this earthly space. Tonatiuh's journey, Helios' chariot ride, In their stories, our hopes and dreams abide. Temples lost and altars cold, in shadows long we roam, To reignite the fires of old, to guide the lost ones home. Why do we dwell in darkness deep, Nietzsche's echo wails, When once the sun our souls did keep, in myths and ancient tales? In every dawn, a prayer we send, to the heavens high above, For sun temples to ascend, in the names of light and love. Let the lord of light, in names unnumbered, soar, Chasing away the night, and our hopes restore. Oṃ Surya Devāya Namaḥa 🌞A Playlist with some Music🎶

Abomination: City of Ice Ch35 A Thief in the Night
The Seawall District, home to the wealthy and powerful that chose to live on the cold side of the city, was one of the most influential districts in Iceport. Located along the coast between the harbor entrance and the transition zone, it was a neighborhood of well-appointed homes, enclosed courtyards, lush parks, and wide streets. The district often bore the brunt of the storms that swept in from the south, so to protect their estates the ‘Frozen Elite’, as they liked to call themselves, petitioned the city to build an extensive seawall. The seawall consisted of huge rocks which were systematically piled along the cost, extending the coastline out nearly a hundred yards. Just beyond the artificial coastline a towering lighthouse cast two powerful beams of light, warning ships of the deadly rocks. Across the harbor the Jewel of the Sands shined brightly in the night. Shelagh balanced on the edge of the seawall and gazed out across the dark water, meticulously studying the approach to
