Archon Aircraft

Bill and the Whistling Death

|WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM · WEEKLY TO BI-WEEKLY UPDATES| A troubled veteran attempts to forget the past by volunteering at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, but it proves difficult when he's close to the plane that changed his life forever--the Corsair. *** Retired Navy pilot William Beckington never planned to move on after The Incident and has lived with the guilt for seventy years. After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget. Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bulldog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like. While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing memory of accidentally shooting his friend down, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live--and rekindle Ted's legacy before he succumbs. *** *This is an enjoyable story to write. I hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do and are ready to learn some history!* *Bill and the Whistling Death falls under the Wildcard Category--with elements of Historical Fiction, Adventure, Literary Fiction, Drama, and slight Coming-of-Age. There is also a queer side character--just FYI, but it stays quiet because of the time Bill served.* Are you curious about the airplanes we have at Patriots Point?

Fate’s Hollow Crown

When Ella Heart boarded a plane to the exclusive resort island of Calivéra, she expected nothing more than luxury, cocktails, and relaxation with her trusted team of bodyguards. But when a violent storm sends the aircraft spiraling into chaos, Ella finds herself thrust into a strange, uncharted land after a harrowing fall from the sky. Seeking refuge in what appears to be an isolated village deep within the wilderness, Ella and her bodyguards are met with suspicion and hostility. The villagers’ wealth and finely crafted weaponry suggest prosperity, yet their reliance on ancient tools like swords, spears, and hammers baffles Ella, raising questions about their survival against modern threats. As the group struggles to make sense of their surroundings, a powerful figure emerges from the crowd—Darian. His commanding presence stills the chaos, but his foreign language and piercing gaze leave Ella with more questions than answers. Drawn to her with unrelenting intensity, Darian is more than he seems, his connection to Ella stirring instincts and emotions he cannot ignore. Unbeknownst to Ella, the “village” is no mere settlement. Hidden beneath layers of secrecy lies an ancient kingdom, where wolves walk as men, and power is bound by bonds of blood and moonlight. As Ella uncovers the truth, she is thrust into a dangerous web of politics, primal instincts, and destinies intertwined. Tensions mount as her guards clash with the kingdom’s fierce traditions, and Darian’s claim to her heart threatens to ignite a war. With danger closing in from all sides, Ella must navigate the mysteries of a kingdom untouched by time and decide whether to fight for her freedom—or embrace a fate she never expected.

What Kind Of Vikings Are These?

Gone were the days when Dean Andler spent his nights studying in the Harvard Library, trying to boost his GPA. Now, he was free to do whatever he wanted, and life felt far more exciting this way. It had been five years since he dropped out of Harvard to chase novelty. Dean had always been a bright young man, a quick learner, but for some reason, he made the decision to abandon his academic path and live for himself. A foolish idea, they said. He was wasting his future—and his potential. Yet, something about being a daredevil, about embracing extreme stunts, never failed to capture his attention from the moment he first discovered it. Dean admits he had lived more in those five years of risking his life than in his previous 20. But all good things must come to an end. And an absolute end, at that. Dean Andler died on his 25th birthday, after jumping from an aircraft when his parachute failed to deploy. A pitiful end. However, it was also a new beginning. Dean finds himself transmigrated to ancient times, during the Viking Age. Here, Vikings exist in all their brutish and fierce glory, just as the history books described. Yet these Vikings are different—far beyond anything history had recorded. They possess superhuman strength, the ability to control the elements, and command the weather itself. Even the world is not what it should be: gigantic sea creatures and malevolent water spirits roam freely. The famed *Einherjar* of Valhalla are real, as are the various gods and their inheritances. As absurd as it all seems to someone from the 21st century, these phenomena are everyday realities for the stone-cold Vikings. Which leaves Dean asking himself: What kind of Vikings are these?
