Even Evil Has Standards

Born of the Evil Dragon

Born of the Evil Dragon is set in a low-magic world. The story unfolds in a once-great empire that has crumbled under its own weight—its power, splintered by internal corruption, external invasions, and a cataclysmic coup. At the heart of this world is Evius Draconis, a young man with a mysterious past, raised not by the fallen human royal family but by a mercantile elven family. His upbringing was shaped by the wisdom and ancient traditions of the elves, rather than the decadence of imperial royalty. While his ties to the empire are deep and complicated, Evius himself stands apart, forged by a different heritage. The story begins with the coup orchestrated by Casso Isetus, the leader of the Black Dragon Syndicate, who overthrows the emperor Edric Valedraco. Under the guise of saving the nation, Casso swiftly gains control of the palace and the empire, but his true motives soon become clear: power for its own sake. He betrays the emperor, murders the empress Aurelia Valedarco and the crown prince Dorian Valedarco, and installs himself as the ruler of the land. With the fall of the imperial family, the nation plunges into chaos, its people suffering under Casso’s brutal rule. Amidst this upheaval, Evius emerges as a figure of resistance. Though not of royal blood, he possesses the strategic brilliance and leadership qualities instilled in him by his elven guardians. With a small band of loyal allies, he embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim the empire, fighting not only against Casso's forces but against the very spirit of the empire’s destruction. Along the way, Evius uncovers the bitter truth: he is not so different from the tyrant he fights. To revive the empire, he must face the darkness within himself—his ambition, his willingness to sacrifice, and the terrible power that awaits him. Born of the Evil Dragon is an epic tale of revival and ruin, loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair. It delves deep into the complexity of power, exploring whether one can retain their humanity when faced with the temptations of vengeance and ambition. It is a story about the price of restoring a broken world, and the personal sacrifices required to achieve something greater than oneself.

Transmuted : Love of an Evening

[ Lynn, Sam and Mahone ] I put my t-shirt down, my hands shaking. I try to ignore them and stare at my reflection in the mirror. My hair color is dark brown and a vague hint of golden. My dad used to say that my eyes are ocean blue. A guy in my history class once said that I had perfect lips. Another guy said that I had a great body. They wanted to date me. And I dated few of them, too. I brush my fingers in my forehead. Then my dark, thick eyelashes. The side of my nose. My lips. I run my hand at my neck, then across my collarbone. Am I beautiful? Honestly, I don't know. Maybe I'm not. "You were wrong, Samlin Greenham." A voice inside my head suddenly whispers. "Calm down, Sammy," another voice whispers. It's the voice I loved. His voice is fading away. My hands start shake again, my breath rapidly quickening. I am losing control. I have to do something. "Goddammit!" I punch the mirror with my fist. It shatters into thousand pieces. My reflection has shattered into thousand pieces, too. The mirror now looks to me like an art. And my bloody knuckles. "I am sorry, Lynn. I can't promise you anymore, because you left me." I bite my lip to stop myself from crying. I won't cry. What's the point of crying? My sixth sense is suddenly alert. Somebody is watching me. I spin around. A guy is standing in front of the door, leaning against it. He wears a tight blue shirt, the sleeves folded. His black hair is ruffled and his hands are folded across his chest. The probable most amazing thing about him is his eyes. They are dark green. They are dangerous, beautiful and incredibly unreadable. And they are watching me.
