“Alright, it’s time for bed now.”
“Aww . . . But could you read me a bedtime story first, though?”
“Of course, dear. Which one do you want to hear this time?”
“I want to hear the story of The Hero and the Dragon again!”
“Again? Didn’t I read it to you last night?”
“I know mommy, but it’s my favorite!”
“Alright, let’s start it all over again. . .”
Once upon a time, there was a peaceful town filled with happy farmers, bakers, and candlestick makers.
But on one fateful day, a dragon darkened the skies and attacked the town!
With one mighty breath, the town was burnt to the ground!
With one swing of its tail, it turned homes to dust.
The townspeople tried to fend off the monster, but none could.
Valiant fighters, rangers, and wizards came to the townspeople’s aid, all swearing that they would slay the beast!
The fighters charged head-on with their swords in hand!
The rangers filled the sky with a blanket of their arrows!
And the wizards summoned forth great spells of destruction!
But none could hurt it.
The dragon’s resilient scales blunted the fighters’ blades and repelled every arrow that rained upon them.
And while the wizards cast their spells, the dragon’s breath overwhelmed all of their magic.
Soon enough, all found themselves at the dragon’s mercy.
With no other option, the townspeople prayed to the heavens for a miracle.
“We beg of you, oh Great Six, save us! Save us from the dragon’s tyranny!”
And in their darkest moment, the gods answered their prayer for and delivered upon them a Hero.
“Despair no longer,” said the Hero, “for I shall fell the beast and return all to as it was!”
Wasting not a moment longer, the Hero confronted the tyrant.

The dragon bathed the Hero in its flames, attempting to burn him away like all the others, but the Hero fired back with miracles of the gods!
The dragon clawed and bit at the Hero, trying to shred and devour him, but the Hero was too fast! He dodged the dragon’s hands and defended against its tail while driving it back with his sword.
Soon enough, the Hero had the dragon cornered.
“Dragon! I do not wish to kill you! So I shall spare you if you leave and never darken another sky again!”
The dragon snarled and growled, but refused to back down. It charged the Hero, attacking desperately.
But the Hero was ready, and with a blessing from the Great Six, he felled the dragon!
And With the tyrant slain, the townspeople rushed to the Hero’s side. Everyone cheering and praising their savior!
‘He-ro! He-ro! He-ro!’
They praised him for his heroism and might!
They praised him for being a champion of the Great Six!
And once again, the town had peace and harmony.
All thanks to the Hero.

The False Paladin
Divine Paladins, a title given to those who were blessed with the Lord's Favor, are the pillars of the kingdom of Calorin. However, a kingdom cannot simply be built from ideals of honor and duty. Sir Roel, the 58th Divine Paladin, knows that he's no hero. His sword is fake, his actual powers are middling, and his thoughts grow more cynical with every passing day. Upon receiving his next task, an order to assassinate a member of royalty, he wonders if the only thing he can do is bow his head and obey. Set in a medieval-era world in which brute strength is often subordinate to the schemes and machinations of the ruling class, this is a low fantasy story about a hero who struggles not only against monsters but also the idea that he's supposed to be the one fighting them. This fiction updates once to twice a week and each chapter is a minimum of 1000 words.

8 116Doctor Who: An Alternate Sequel Series
An alternate sequel to the original Doctor Who series (1963-1989) This is set in an alternate universe to the 21st century Doctor Who and features an alternate 9-13th Doctors. These Doctors will be based on different actors (or rather characters the actors are known for playing,) whose images will be used to represent them. The 9th Doctor will be based on Irish actor Dylan Moran, the 10th Doctor will be based on Tim Curry, whilst the 11th Doctor will be based on Robert Carlyle. The 12th Doctor will be based on Julian Barratt, whilst the 13th Doctor will be based on Julian Richings. I decided to make my Doctor Who fanfic series an alternate sequel as I wanted to match the classic era in tone and style more. The 21st century DW is still canon however. It is simply an alternate universe. Some stories will feature alternate versions of 21st Centruy Who characters. The Doctor from the 21st Century Who universe will also crossover into my universe at some point too. This way I can keep what I like from both the original and revival, whilst creating my own Doctors. Each story will feature a different Doctor, and they will all be at random points in their lives, though as time goes on I do intend to build up my own continuity and history.
