The Post-War Children

Malik is a 16-year old boy who escaped the war in Syria when he was 8, and with the help of a charity company got to meet his adoptive mother, Frederique. She was a single psychologist in her late twenties who specialized in war-time trauma and was deemed qualified to mother the orphan, Malik. When he was born, both of Malik's parents, whose marriage was an arranged one, were violent with each other and had grown incessantly tired of each other. This meant they didn't properly raise him, but it also meant he was subject to their constant bickering which often escalated in front of him. Regardless, they did both love him in their own way, but refused to cooperate in his upbringing which meant a lot was missing from his childhood. Later, the Syrian war had reached their city and the family was forced to evacuate. When confronted by militias, his father opted to stay behind with other men to make time for the women and children to escape. Then his father died. His mother, in her grief and the chaos, got separated from Malik. Later they reunited at a ship helping refugees escape the country, but the ship sank and Malik emerged the sole survivor when a touristic ship crossing the Red Sea found him. He was brought to England as a refugee and gained citizenship by being adopted by Frederique. At first, he was mute and refused to ask for anything more than was given to him, due to his many psychological boundaries, but with support from Frederique and his therapist, Dr. Miriam, he learned to start speaking without fear of repercussion and demand things of Frederique. Their relationship was still somewhat distant, since Malik remained a boy of few words and little expressions. But Frederique made up for it with a bubbly but consistent and trustworthy personality. It was still difficult for him, however, to form interpersonal relationships and he was shunned by schoolmates until 9th grade. In the tenth grade, Malik met a boy named Liam who became very interested in him and in being his friend. The two developed a dynamic of Liam constantly seeking Malik out and following him around everywhere. Liam found Malik cool and wanted to become close to him. Malik slowly got used to his presence and began to trust him and enjoy his company. After a year, the two became inseperable and found many shared interests. But one day Liam is hit by a car and dies. Malik succumbs to coping mechanisms he had long shunned and experiences one panic attack after another in his re-elapsing episodes of complex PTSD. This story aims to draw light to the forgotten victims of the foreign US-funded wars that traumatize and impact generations of people for their entire lives.

Army Definition

An army (from Latin arma "arms, weapons" via Old French armée, "armed" [feminine]), ground force or land force is a fighting force that fights primarily on land. In the broadest sense, it is the land-based military branch, service branch or armed service of a nation or state. It may also include aviation assets by possessing an army aviation component. Within a national military force, the word army may also mean a field army.  Afghan Army soldiers on parade, 1950s In some countries, such as France and China, the term "army", especially in its plural form "armies", has the broader meaning of armed forces as a whole, while retaining the colloquial sense of land forces. To differentiate the colloquial army from the formal concept of military force, the term is qualified, for example in France the land force is called Armée de terre, meaning Land Army, and the air and space force is called Armée de l'Air et de l’Espace, meaning Air and Space Army. The naval force, although not using the term "army", is also included in the broad sense of the term "armies" — thus the French Navy is an integral component of the collective French Armies (French Armed Forces) under the Ministry of the Armies. A similar pattern is seen in China, with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) being the overall military, the land force being the PLA Ground Force, and so forth for the PLA Air Force, the PLA Navy, and other branches.  The Sikh Regiment marching contingent of the Indian Army on parade, 2015 By convention, irregular military is understood in contrast to regular armies which grew slowly from personal bodyguards or elite militia. Regular in this case refers to standardized doctrines, uniforms, organizations, etc. Regular military can also refer to full-time status (standing army), versus reserve or part-time personnel. Other distinctions may separate statutory forces (established under laws such as the National Defence Act), from de facto "non-statutory" forces such as some guerrilla and revolutionary armies. Armies may also be expeditionary (designed for overseas or international deployment) or fencible (designed for – or restricted to – homeland defence).

A ‘life’ of a farmer

Normally, a farmer would just be a regular person that would farm crops, sell them and be a normal upstanding citizen(read as: follow rules). They would also occasionally join a local militia or army to help clear out some trouble or protecting their homeland. Farmers are the life blood of a nation, without them, stable food sources would be hard to procure. Too bad we almost never see their everyday lives, as they may be considered too boring with all the wait time. Too bad indeed.... .......Well, if you haven’t guessed it now, this is a story about a ‘regular’ farmer, though with a small caveat. He’s a walking, talking corpse, as in most of his body is biologically dead, but some kind of magic is still maintaining the cells somehow, so they keep rotting, but still divide. That’s it, he’s just a normal farmer.( I know some of you all are thinking he has some other kind of OP superpower, or is amazingly skilled at something, or if not, then he’s going to get OP later on. I just know it.) This is his story of how he lives his life as a farmer. ————————————————————— Well, this is my first novel ever, so there’s that. There’s also the fact that I do not have any plot for this thing, besides just having fun and coming up with cool( random) ideas and seeing how they fit here. Well. I have no idea where this is gonna be going either, but I am leaning towards him just living an ordinary life. Though if you have grand ideas of what he will do, just wait and see, even I do not know what will happen. It might happen, or it might not, let’s see. Also, updates will be very sporadic as I am not really truly invested into writing yet, though that may change in the future. Expect updates to be random in length and in release time. Apologies to any people who are irritated by it.

Lord Raven's Court

In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack. Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become. Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins… CHAPTER RELEASE: January 1st at 12:00 UTC

Pride and Prejudice

Causing immediate excitement among Mrs. Bennet and her five daughters, Mr. Bingley, a wealthy young gentleman, has rented a nearby country estate, Netherfield. He arrives in town accompanied by his fashionable sister and his good friend, Mr. Darcy. While Bingley is well-received in the community, Darcy begins his acquaintance with smug condescension and proud distaste for all the “country” people. Bingley and Jane Bennet begin to grow close despite Mrs. Bennet’s embarrassing interference and the opposition of Bingley’s sister, who considers Jane socially inferior. Elizabeth is stung by Darcy’s haughty rejection of her at a local dance and decides to match his coldness with her own wit. Elizabeth begins a friendship with Mr. Wickham, a militia officer who has a history with Darcy. Wickham claims that Darcy seriously mistreated him. Elizabeth immediately seizes upon this information as another reason to hate Darcy. Ironically, but unbeknownst to her, Darcy finds himself gradually drawn to Elizabeth. Just as Bingley appears to be on the point of proposing marriage to Jane, he moves away from Netherfield, leaving Jane confused and upset. Elizabeth is convinced that Bingley’s sister has conspired with Darcy to separate Jane and Bingley. Mr. Collins, a distant relative of the Bennets, makes an unexpected visit. He is a recently ordained clergyman employed by the wealthy Lady Catherine de Bourgh. On his way to visit his patron, Collins makes a visit, intending to find a wife from among the Bennet sisters. At first, he pursues Jane; however, when Mrs. Bennet mentions she is involved with Mr. Bingley, he turns to Elizabeth. He soon proposes marriage to Elizabeth, who refuses him, much to her mother’s distress. Collins quickly recovers and proposes to Elizabeth’s close friend, Charlotte Lucas, who immediately accepts him. Their marriage takes place soon after. In the spring, Elizabeth joins Charlotte and Mr. Collins at his parish in Kent. The parish is adjacent to Rosings Park, the grand manor of Mr. Darcy’s aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, where Elizabeth is frequently invited. While calling on Lady Catherine, Mr. Darcy encounters Elizabeth. She discovers from Darcy’s cousin that it was he who separated Bingley and Jane, as she suspected. Soon after, Darcy admits his love of Elizabeth and proposes to her. Elizabeth refuses him. When he asks why she should refuse him, she confronts him with his sabotage of Bingley’s relationship with Jane and his history with Wickham. Darcy responds with a long letter justifying his actions. Thus, everything is set up to bring to conclusion the various love affairs—happily, or perhaps unhappily. Whatever the various resolutions, Darcy, Bingley, Jane, Elizabeth, as well as others, will need to overcome their pride and prejudices if they are to find love in the midst of these uncertain and complex relationships.
