In the beginning, he said, "A lowly commoner from Jiangning County? What a disgraceful status, I won't marry her!" After meeting her, he clicked his tongue, "So frail and delicate, she can't stand a blow, too weak, I refuse!" When she approached him alone, carrying the marriage book, he stood leaning on the door, grinning insolently, "Are you here to make me marry you? But this young master doesn’t want to marry young!" Upon learning she was there to annul their marriage, his face turned dark as a thunderstorm, emanating a murderous aura, "Who gave you the guts to revoke the marriage with this young master?" ... Su Rong felt, Duanhua Princess must be blind, this man was so pampered and spoiled, how was he worth dying or living for? If she had known earlier, she would have thrown the divorce letter at his face the first time she saw him. ————————————— The tender signs of spring on the delicate Hibiscus pillow, amidst the drunken flowers filling the room, unnoticed. — Su Rong. A gallant young man in fine clothes and on a steed, a single glance causes a lifetime of confusion. — Zhou Gu Your wish is my wish. I wish to have known you earlier, protect you among the aromatic chambers strewn with brocades. Tear through the illusions, cut down the thorns, with hands unstained by blood, just as pure as you were when we first met, the young and soft little girl. Your wish is my wish. I wish I had known you sooner when you were like a refreshing breeze near the moon. I dared not approach for fear of disturbing the phoenix and mandarin ducks. Praying to be the moon in the sky to cast a reflection on you, accompany you while you watch the flowers bloom in the spring and gaze at the snow in winter, each and every year at Chang'an.

To the world, Seraphina Evercrest was the perfect noblewoman: graceful, talented, and beautiful. Her love for Crown Prince Leander Celestis was like a fairy tale, the two destined to be immortal lovers. But everything changed with an imperial decree—she was forced to marry the cold-hearted Prince Lysander Celestis, a man as ruthless as he was powerful. For a year, they lived as distant strangers, their marriage bound by polite indifference. But behind his facade of mutual respect, Lysander let her suffer in silence, confined to a life of misery within the palace walls. After two years as empress, another imperial decree stripped her of her title, banishing her to the cold palace—a desolate prison where hunger and hardship became her only companions. Seraphina thought her suffering would eventually end. But the final blow came with a decree to confiscate her family’s wealth, destroying everything she once held dear. Only then did she realize that her marriage, her humiliation, and her suffering were all part of Lysander’s grand conspiracy. The man she once loved, dressed in white beneath the pear blossoms, was lost to her forever by his command. Escaping the clutches of death, Seraphina rose from the ashes of her ruined life. Laughing bitterly at the heavens, she swore: “Lysander Celestis, you destroyed my love, my family, and my soul. I’ll bury you with the weight of your entire kingdom!” Three years later, she returned, her army of iron steeds and golden swords shaking the empire. And only then did Lysander realize the truth—Seraphina was the one he had been searching for all along. Overcome with regret, the proud prince bowed his head before her, but it was too late. She smiled behind her tears and whispered, “When love turns to ashes, even the brightest flames cannot rekindle it. It’s too late.” Themes: A tale of betrayal, resilience, and the blurred line between love and hate.

Everyone has their perceptions of Knights. The most common ones are found in storybooks. Shining armor, a gallant steed, glistening weapons, a coat of arms, exacting justice. Don’t make me laugh. It was all buttered up the way they wanted it to be, and I was just as foolish as to believe them until I saw. The atrocities they committed that went against the code of honor they swore upon. And because I saw, they came to me. The ones who wanted to fix this dastardly system with their hands and fix this rotten empire. And so I accept the realization that chivalry is dead. *This is not a LitRPG story! For all of you folks that like secret identities and masked protagonists, this is it! *No harems, no sex scenes, no power of friendship (or dues ex machine) *I do not own the cover art.

But his tale has yet to start when the horrors outside the wall grow stronger each day. Sent to conquest to find the people who can only save the land, he sets off to search high and low for the mythical criminals of the Yigena. - - - - "The world offers a million ways to die, but only one way to survive: be one of the darkness. I had a noble name once, born from the noble principles I had once served. Betrayed by the heroic ideas I would have served, where I was excellence, now I am deformed. Tricked into this existence, I will be the monster that every hero will dream to murder. I am the oblivion. I am chaos. I am the darkness. I am the world's greatest villain. You sing of love and gods, everything to strengthen your faith; I will have to quiet that first. Every dream is a torch of hope that I must snuff out. Let me tear your limbs. Let me break your soul. Let me watch you die, eyes knowing that you served my dark purpose. I will regard your cries as braying steeds, waiting to be whipped, broken, and bridled. Your scream will be the soothing hymn of crows at dusk. Come. Let me earn your hatred. Noble is this carnage; I march to exact my vengeance – to drown this world with blood. I will let you and your brethren lament my unholy birth. I am not a god. I am not a king. I am worse." -Ryzen Rozenhart - - - - - - - - - - - - You can find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IceFontana18Official Review and gifts are much appreciated.

Darkness settle on roofs and walls, But the sea,the sea in the darkness calls; The little waves with their soft,white hand, Efface the footprints in the sands, And the tide rises,the tide falls, The morning breaks;the steeds in their stalls Stamp and neigh,as the hostler calls; The day returns,but nevermore Returns the traveller to the shore, And the tide rises,the tide falls.

Eion’s earliest memory was of the elves. Of them slaughtering everyone around him and fleeing desperately from them. After somehow escaping that horrible event, something he can’t remember. He was taken in by a group of priests living in a hidden monastery high in the mountains. There they trained his body, mind, and spirit. Mostly his body, as the energetic youth rarely sat still long enough for lectures or meditation. All that suddenly changed when the elves attacked again. Again, Eion managed to escape. Again, he couldn’t remember how. But with nothing other than one of the shiny rocks the priest mined in their hidden tunnels. Eion has set off both to escape from the elves and fulfill his lifelong dream of being a merchant. Naive and innocent he would seem the perfect target for those ne’er do wells of the world. They soon find out that the countless hours of combat training the priests used to try and reign in his energetic nature made that difficult. After meeting his good friend, Snake. Eion finds himself a full-fledged and completely legal merchant. He even has a very nice cart, one that is completely a proper “merchant’s cart” pulled by a fine steed. Now as a proper merchant he sets out on an adventure. This is actually just the back story for one of the characters I’m playing in a weekly D&D game. I figured it would be fun to flesh out his back story and maybe occasionally do a write-up for a session. Not expecting many to read it but if you do, I hope you enjoy it.

Under the soft glow of dawn, the sea breeze gently swept across Azure Veil Isle. Young Phaethon stood gazing at the distant horizon, but inside, he was filled with confusion and unease. The people on the island had begun to question his identity: “You’re not the son of the Sun God! You don’t even have the golden eyes—how could you be a child of the gods?” Determined to prove his divine lineage, Phaethon set out on a journey to find his father, Helios. He crossed oceans and scaled mountains, and finally, he arrived at the magnificent, golden Sun Temple. Standing before his father, he pleaded, “Father, please believe me. I will become a son you can be proud of.” He asked to drive the Sun Chariot, hoping to prove his identity once and for all. Despite Helios’s repeated warnings about the dangers of controlling the Sun Chariot, Phaethon insisted on going through with it. But driving the chariot was far harder than he had imagined. The fiery steeds sensed his inexperience, and the chariot spiraled out of control, wreaking havoc across the sky, bringing both freezing cold and scorching flames to the earth below. What Phaethon didn’t know was that all of this was part of Zeus’s scheme. Zeus had long been undermining the Sun God’s family, plotting to have his own son, Apollo, replace Helios as the god of light. It was Zeus who had spread the rumors about Phaethon’s lineage, stirring up his impulsiveness and pushing him to make a fatal mistake. To "save" the world, Zeus, pretending to be the hero, unleashed a thunderbolt, striking Phaethon down from the sky. Phaethon fell into the River Eridanus, and his life came to an end. But the story didn’t end there. As his soul drifted in the darkness, a mysterious voice called out to him: “Young soul, are you willing to take on a new mission?” Upon learning the truth, Phaethon didn’t hesitate: “I am!” Reborn with new memories and powers, he returned to Rhodes. This time, he was no longer the boy everyone mocked. His silver eyes, like deep abysses, held an unfathomable power and determination. Facing the sky, he declared with unwavering resolve: “This time, Zeus, You're Doomed!” This was now a battle of divine power. But who was the mysterious figure that brought Phaethon back to life? Were they using him to challenge Zeus, or did they have their own hidden agenda?
