Shark Tale She'S A Gold Digger

I turned away, trying to push past the suffocating madness that seemed to close in around me. Coughlan’s voice followed me, calm but unyielding. “You can run, Volcan, but you can’t hide. This city has a way of pulling its children back — whether they want it or not.” I glanced over my shoulder. His hollow eye seemed to pierce right through me. “Remember, your blood isn’t just a weapon. It’s a key. And soon, you’ll understand why.” With that, he melted back into the shadows, leaving me alone with the cold night and questions I wasn’t ready to face. I shakily took a breath, the cold edge of curiosity slicing through my panic. Pulling a small knife from my pocket, I pressed the blade against my palm, wincing as it nicked the skin. A bead of blood welled up, shimmering faintly under the pale moonlight — a soft, oceanic blue glow pulsing from within. I stared, heart pounding, as the glowing droplet hovered a moment before dripping onto the cracked pavement. Where it touched, the ground seemed to hiss, steam rising as if burned by some unseen fire. My breath hitched. This wasn’t just a dream. This was real. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________----- Some people excel at keeping secrets, others fail at concealing them completely.

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!

A Fated Encounter for an unruly man and woman, changes the course of their lives

Astartes is an ancient warforged barbarian, built in an age of civil war and social unrest. Recounting his origin, Astartes narrates the history of the once legendary Gears Laguerre, a band of young soldiers who were the central characters of the Elven Civil War, and their eventual downfall. This short story is likely the limit of what I’ll write on Astartes unless this blows up. He’s my favorite D&D character I’ve run and am currently still playing him, so there’s plenty of story to tell.
