Raven And John Constantine

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

Myth and Legends

“Life is not a one man’s journey. It lasts ‘til your last breath.” Arloum, a powerful ancient trapped in a weak vessel, strives to regain his former self. Everything else can be set aside, but often, people’s schemes derailed him from his goals. The arrogant, yet ignorant, entity of mass destruction, learns how it feels to shed tears, feel love, and even taste hatred. These things he missed and condemned before, now became treasures he savored every second. “The journey is riddled with stones, rush through them and you might trip. Calm down, death is not an enemy. It’s your friend for when you’re at the end of your journey.” At the end of everything, when he finally reaches the lonely top, will everything be worth it? “In the end… life without meaning is not a life worth living.” Content Warning: - There’s going to be LGBT aspects in this book. If you cannot accept it, please, do not spread hate and simply ignore this book. - I can’t help writing gore, so there’s definitely going to be graphic scenes. And boy, I’ll try to be as detailed as possible, do buckle up! - I want to write this world with a spoonful of bitterness. In other words, there will be a lot of characters with sob backstories, LOL. Don’t worry, it won’t be excessive, I think. What to expect: - Adventures, lots of adventures and more adventures! - Stories of side characters and character development. Happy ending? Not always. No need for tissues though, I’m not that good of an author yet. - Progression; this is a progression fantasy book. Don’t expect much, but I hope that the power system won’t matter too much. - The protagonist is a tree. Yes, it’s overdone. But, well, I don’t even know why I made him a tree. All I know is that I suck at writing human protagonists, they all end up needing therapy after chapter 1. If that’s your kinda book, do let me know!

"Did he touch you?," he asked as his blood red eyes looked intensely into her purple ones. "Y-yes, b-but it w-was unintentional," she said nervously. "Still defending him, are we, huh? Intentional or unintentional, I don't want anyone touching what's mine, do you understand?," he whispered the last sentence in her ears, while running his thumb on her lips. She nodded, looking into his eyes that had become a shade darker. "Words.....snow," he said pressing her against the closet behind her, before leaning in towards her, "I need words." "Y-yes, I-i understand." "Good," he said, before leaning in completely and capturing her lips with his in an intense kiss. ********* Hazel Snow had never thought she would fall in love with the devilishly beautiful senior, during her first year at the University.
