A Quest for Revenge
The Queen of the dark elves stole everything from Celeste--her kingdom, her family, her future. Now, after eighty-one years, the once elfin princess finds the clue that will lead her to her foe, and to her destiny: the first brick on the path to revenge.

The Aandriilien
She dreamed Aradia of the Moon was coming to the hidden kingdom of the Aandriilien, but none would heed her. Brother and sister, Arden and Ava, both dreaming the same dream; and left with none to cling to but each other. For on the night of the full moon, nightmares can become reality...

Forgive Me
Being a rebel was easy to Tristan before. But it's different this time. She doesn't understand. She couldn't. It's just not the same. When frail man must face the most difficult decisions of life, along with betrayals of the highest degree, sometimes he breaks. Sometimes he shatters. Sometimes he runs away. Sometimes... he seeks forgiveness where there is none.

The Potion
Humanity is a pitiful race. We claim faith in life after death, but when death strikes those we love, we refuse to accept it. Now that science has progressed so far, it's clearer than ever. The potion can't return life, for its makers were not gods, though they believed it. We can bring back the human body. We can never bring back the human soul.


Character Compositions

The Scene
There was something about that scene that she simply couldn't forget. It may have been the lifeless eyes of the dead. Or maybe it was the lifeless eyes of the killer.
Composition is from the perspective of Alexis Gate, character in my comic idea Killer Instinct, while transported into the mind and memory of Matthias Harding.

Lost
Confusion is the center of the piece, confusion and denial about what one has become. It is not glamorous to be one who survives only by others' death.
Composition is from the perspective of an unknown character.

One to Another
One doesn't have to be a real father to bring the comfort a father does. One man envies another for the love he never had. One man's mask becomes too brittle to keep up anymore. And two bleeding hearts find healing in each other a way they never could alone.
Composition is from the perspective of Matthias Harding, main character of my comic idea Killer Instinct. Other characters mentioned are Yuki and Yori, twins, members of an organization Matt ends up in.

Morning
The day is dawning, the morning is bright; cheer is deceiving and ignorance is bliss.
A contrast piece written from the perspective of an unknown young man.

Just That
This love may just be an illusion--but it's so easy to be swept away. She knows it, of course. But she stays anyway. It's just that sweet smell of delusion. That sweet sound of his voice.
A stream-of-consciousness piece written from the perspective of an unknown young woman.

Resignation
She was just another woman to everyone else. But she was everything to him. Don't tell him to accept reality anymore; he accepts nothing. He can accept nothing, until his beloved is avenged.
Composition is from the perspective of an unknown young man.

Time
The past is the past, what is lost is lost, what is done is done. All actions have consequences; things change. If only time would stand still...
Composition is from the perspective of an unknown character.

Why
On rainy days like this, all I can do is wonder. Why do you hate me?
Composition is from the perspective of an unknown character, but at least the main question is based off me.
