Mirkwood
Tiberius POV
Waking up after a night's rest I stretched my body and smiled after having a good sleep, I remember the wonderful dream where I and Melody were in the lake where I met here, instead of her running away we chatted and laughed as fireflies surrounded us. After recalling my dreams I washed my face and prepared myself to meet our elf friends in their tent to invite them for breakfast and start our journey towards their city.
I went to their tent with my Praetorians and whistled happily excited to meet Melody once more, seeing their tents from the distance I can already see the elves awake and outside of their tents exercising and Legolas speaking to a hawk before it flies away going northwest, I see Melody behind him and I walked faster. Melody turned her head after hearing footsteps and see me with my guards she smiled excitedly and came to meet me.
"Good morning Melody" I smiled and wave my hand at her.
"Good morning Tiberius" She smiled back after knowing my name from the night before on our journey to the camp.
Legolas see us and walked towards our direction along with other elves who noticed our presence. We have a conversation about how their rest was and he smiled saying it was fine and thank us for our hospitality.
"Please join me for breakfast along with your companions," I asked sincerely
He nods and I escort them to an open field where tables and food are already prepared.
"I hope you eat meat, but if you don't I have bread and honey that can serve you and the other elves for breakfast, I got them from the beornings who welcomed us to their village."
"It is fine Tiberius, some elves do not eat meat in middle earth but us wood elves eat meat because of the lack of fields to plant here in the forest, we hunt our food in the forest to sustain us." Legolas smiled at me while impressed that we were welcomed by the beornings.

We have breakfast and Legolas sit besides me with Melody on the other chair, we talked about my story how we were transported and on a quest to help the dwarves, Legolas frowned when he heard about the quest while Melody smiled excitedly hearing of our adventures like a fairytale from her bedtime stories when she was a child.
"What was that hawk I saw you with?" I asked Legolas
"It was a messenger hawk, I gave word to it to send to my father informing of your upcoming visit and Melody being found"
We talked some more and I looked towards Melody while we eat breakfast while she sneaked glances towards me and we smiled seeing each other vision, after breakfast, we prepared to break camp while gathering all the separated legions from different camps, Melody and the other elves were impressed by the legions seeing them marched with discipline and formations, Legolas frowned seeing them as if worried about the mighty army marching towards their domain.
After completing preparations I gave the elves some of our horses and we continued our march while the elves escort us and scout our surrounding area, I felt better that we finally have some natives who can guide us in this dangerous forest especially seeing those giant spiders yesterday. I trot my horse towards Melody side as we chatted some more while I see Darius trying to court the brown-haired female elf from yesterday. Darius' face was perverted and saying something when the elf slapped him, the female elf rides her horse away and went close to the dwarf named Kili. Me and Melody smiled as we see this and we laughed at Darius' face with a red hand mark.
"So Melody why did you ran away and singing in that lake?"
"My friends left a few days ago to go to the Undying Lands as they will sail across the west sea forever not to be able to return, I felt sad not seeing them again unless I leave middle earth permanently. I went to that place where father brought me and brother when we were young, it's one the most special place for me but as the forest got more dangerous we rarely go there anymore," She said in a sad expression with tears in her eyes.

I offer her shoulder and she leaned on it, behind us without me knowing Legolas frowned seeing our actions and was about to interrupt when the browned haired female elf stopped him and shook her head, Legolas reluctantly agrees but continued to look at us making sure we don't do anything inappropriate.
As the legions marched along with dwarves and elves we faced more dangers from the forest, we encountered trolls and ogres which attacked us while the elves taught us how to beat them more conveniently, they said killing them from afar was better and showed us as they shoot their arrows towards the dark creatures bringing them down before they can get near upon us, everyone from the legions we're impressed while Thorin remain silent and glared at the elves.
We continued marching during daylight and setting up camp during the night for many days as me and Melody get closer sharing our stories with one another while I spot Legolas always near us either cleaning his bow or counting his arrows. Darius gave up on the browned hair female elf after seeing her being close with the dwarf Kili instead he looked for new targets to seduce to complete his goal of sleeping with an elf while Garen led the army in charge of the logistics and command as he has seen me busy lately with Melody.
After five days of traveling, we arrived upon a stream with an eerie atmosphere. I looked at it and Melody explained that the Enchanted stream was a black stream in Mirkwood that flowed north from its source in the mountains of Mirkwood towards the forest river which it joined about ten miles before (west of) the Elven kings halls. It had fast and strong currents, but was not too wide at least in the area near the forest path. Anyone who drank or bathed in the stream's water would fall into a deep sleep, and suffer amnesia when finally waking.
They had to cross the stream while traveling through Mirkwood on their way to the woodland realm, we carefully crossed the bridge when one of the dwarves Bombur the fat one clumsily fell backward into the stream while trying to get food from the carts. We fished him out of the river with a branch we cut off from the trees while covering him with a big cloth to dry him after that we saw him in deep sleep smiling probably having a good dream.
Bilbo and the dwarves looked worried but Legolas assured them they have a way to wake him up back in their city but probably will lose his memories, they nod now more determined to arrive faster in their city even though they were reluctant before still bitter about something.
Few more days passed and we see more elves from up the trees arriving jumping from branch to branch to escort us and make sure Legolas and the other elves were safe while looking wary at the legions making sure they were not a threat to the elves domain. Legolas said we were within five kilometers from the city and the legions must stop here, the other elves escort them to a good spot to camp while Garen and the centurions stay with them while me, Darius, Praetorians and Thorin's company join us to go to the city, arriving there I admired the beauty of the city while Melody pointed and explained their heritage and history of this ancient city of the wood elves.

Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle. [ – Now Completed with upcoming minor revisions before second book – ] + complex character relationships and growth + realistic quirky magic system + unique mythical creatures + deeply developed world lore + evocative writing style + cute sassy fox sidekick - Original Book Cover Art by Chryiss Rewritten final version of formerly named Canaan series and first book, My World to Live.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.

8 152Tales of a Grim World.
Ancient prophecies say that once every thousand years, one shall rise to bring about a new age of darkness. A harbinger of evil, a being born for the sole purpose of sowing misery and disgrace. Through them, the world shall know of war, famine, pestilence and death— the four seals that herald the end of times. Besieged by the maws of evil, humankind shall suffer in agony as they watch everything they once knew be unmade before them. To oppose such a being, the whole world has had to stand united, in the battles that came to be historically known as the Great Holy Wars. Guided by the Saintess of Irithel, brave heroes coming from the four corners of the world had to sacrifice their lives in order to fight against the Harbinger and cast away the darkness. Our story begins in the year 578, a bit over six hundred years since the end of the fifth holy war. In the kingdom of Valtia, a small nation belonging to the Union of Western Kingdoms, an urgent missive bearing the royal seal arrives at the hands of Earl William Taylor. Though it might still be almost half a millennia too early for another Harbinger to be born, dark clouds already loom over the northern continent of Gram, as many bizarre events start taking place. Follow the story of our main characters as they struggle to survive in a grim, unforgiving world. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Warning: This work is intended for mature audiences and contains adult scenes and heavy descriptions of violence and gore.
