Queen of destiny or rather call me Mekinar.
-------------------Prologue
Some years ago having either some or no money in my purse I went on a journey around the world in search for dollies with lost shoes but unfortunately, I had a very serious illness (having a scratch on my ear) and got lost on an isolated island which is really how this story begins. On the way, I met mermaids with crazy hairstyles and weird dragons with fiery fish breath, which you do not want to smell.
Being lost on an island wasn’t what you might think of as good luck, but I tell you, it's like a wild adventure at the same time. Blah blah blah blah blah… sorry about that, I was just thinking about what to write. Keep reading and it will be more interesting.
-----------------Chapter one
Once upon a time, oh maybe that's too fairy-like, we'll start with: on a bright sunny day, well it wasn't that sunny, in fact, it was quite a dim day but you know a good story always has a good beginning. So on a bright sunny day with either some or no money in my purse I was walking to my normal groceries that's when I discovered my first last dolly shoe. I picked it up and walked home forgetting all about my groceries even though I was starving with hunger.
Studying it all night didn't help me to understand that the shoes were unusual. In the shoes, there was a little note saying: “If you don't return the shoes and the body parts of the doll to me on the island of distress, I will plant a curse on you and the rest of your generations.”
I quickly dropped the shoe and staggered into my chair screaming for my maid who came running in after my voice. (By the way, I'm called Mistress Furner, no not really but anyway.) She asked me what happened.
“T-t-the s-s-shoe” I answered and then I fainted.
-----------Chapter 2
Captain Underpants saved the world! I'm sorry that's the other book I'm reading forget about that bit.
So my maid read the note and said that we will have to go to the place and return the shoe plus the other body parts. To be extra safe I checked the note three times and took off to the island of distress, which I have no idea of its location.
Encouraging my maid to come with me wasn't easy but after hours of persuasion, she finally agreed. After all, I can't face this adventure all alone can I? By the way, when I said lost on the island by myself, that was just a bit of exaggeration and I didn't even get lost on the island!
--------------A rude interruption from the author
-----------Chapter 3
You know when I told you about my maid coming with me; I also brought other people with me:
-Crews
-Sailors
-Meg the fortune teller
-Sam the cook
Everyone except the captain. I was really thinking about someone who had experience sailing. But captains are hard to find these days.
That's when we all saw a crooked legged man walking towards us. Half of his teeth were black and through his ripped trousers and panties, we could see his bum hairs sticking out (that's why I didn’t want you to read this on the loo!)
“Hiya, ” said the captain with his finger which has a missing hand, I mean a hand which has a missing finger.
“Ah!” I screamed and my nose came off. Just kidding!
I asked him who he was and he said he was a captain and had plenty of experience on ships. So I invited him to join us and when he did, his leg came off.

--------Chapter four
Fortune teller Meg ran up to me and said: “In my magic ball I found a note saying: ‘in the room of the gruesome blind, you shall find some buttoned eyes’.”
I remember that the captain (who is actually called Captain Book) is blind and very gruesome. So I went into his disgusting cabin and found something shiny in the special drawer that we never open. It was the button eyes. (I bet he use them to see!)
--------Chapter 5
So where was I? Oh yeah, in the button eyes there was a note saying ‘thank you Miss I'm now not blind, two soft legs are on the sofa right behind’.
I looked behind me and there wasn't a sofa so I went to ask my maid what it meant.
“The sofa they're talking about maybe in another room.” She said.
So I went to all the other rooms on the ship but I couldn't find any sofas. I was just about to give up when my eyes fell upon an old storage room with a sofa in it. Nothing was on the sofa. Just then, Sam the cook suddenly came in and gave me a fortune cookie. I wasn't in the mood to eat it but I ate it anyway. I bit on something dry and inside was a note saying ‘behind the sofa’. I looked behind and there indeed were the legs.
I rushed to Sam and ask him where he got the cookie from. He said a draining pipe.
“YUCK!” I cried and spat it all out.
------------Chapter 6
I was very careful putting the eyes and legs inside the cupboard as they are my most precious possessions at the moment.
Have you ever tried paper soup? Because for your information, sam the cook is a bit dotty and adds pieces of paper to the soup he prepares.
In my soup, there was writing on one of the pieces of paper. The writing was hard to see but I struggled to see it anyway. ‘When the ocean starts to shake, two strong hands will certainly quake’ it read. I gasped and ran to Sam in the kitchen.
“Where did you get this from?,” I asked urgently. “TELL ME NOW!”
I didn't realize I was shouting and Sam looked at me as if I was crazy or something. He told me that he was looking for fresh meat (which really means fresh paper) in my room and he found the note on the floor right in front of the cupboard. I grinned, Sam can be stupid sometimes but you have to admit he's good at finding things isn’t he?
----------A note from the author
By the way, if you really hate Sam then you'd better read on because Sam is going to die in let’s say, a few words. Enjoy!
-----------Chapter 7
I walk around the room holding the piece of paper in my hands.
“I don't get it!” I shouted, distressed. “What does it mean starts to shake, starts to-AHHH!”
That's when it really started to shake because our ship is sinking, my maid is screaming, the captain is snoring, Meg is cursing and Sam is dying (I told you he was going to die). And I'm well, I'm fine really because at that exact moment a huge hand scooped me up along with the cupboard which contained the eyes and legs. I least I didn't have to find those things again!
The hands took me all the way to the island of… I don't know but let's just call it the island of hands because that's where the big arm came from.

-----------Chapter 8
I woke up from the craziness of the Shipwreck. I looked down at my feet and the hand was still grabbing on. I tried to take it off and after I did the hand shrunk. (By the way, the hands came with arms.)
The hand had a note and it said: ‘the hand next to your feet is the hand that saved you, find the matching and hand and the doll will praise you’.
I started looking for the matching hand alone. It's beginning to get dark and all my clothes are soaking so I'm going to camp and rest.
I came up to a cave with a glowing fire and my maid plus Meg (who is actually called Megara) resting by the fire.
“MAID, I FOUND YOU!” I leaped up and hugged my maid tight. Meg was sleeping so I didn’t hug her.
Then my foot accidentally knocked off one of the fire woods out of the pile. It flipped out and turned from black to white. I don't think so I just put it back in the fire.
Just then I had a feeling that things were not right so I fished the piece of wood out even though I was burning my hand in the process. It was the matching hand!
I explain everything to Meg, who is now awake and she agrees to help me find the other body parts no matter what.
---------------Chapter 9
The note on the hand was a little bit burnt but I still can read it. ‘Thank you Miss I now can feel, a fluffy soft body you’ll have to steel’.
We walked around the island until we came up to a river. Suddenly the ground underneath us gave way and we sunk in a massive whirlpool.
I quickly grabbed on to some river weed but as you know river weed isn’t that strong. So we fell in and accidentally ate the weed which the water made us eat somehow. It was mermaid Magic to keep us alive under water and we found ourselves breathing underwater.
We swam around and saw some mermaids playing; we anxiously went to them and asked the mermaids with crazy hairstyles if they had seen a doll’s body. A nice looking one said that the Queen found a soft spongy thing and used it for a pillow.
As we went I realized that every one of the mermaids had a fortune teller ball. Interesting isn't it?
That night, we crept up to the castle and stole the Queens pillow replacing it with Meg’s magic ball. Although Meg regretted it, she still said it was the best thing to do.
----------------Chapter 10
Humans cannot breathe underwater and now the river weed's magic is starting to go. We must leave as soon as possible in case we drown and the Mermaids find out we stole the body.
When we are on land again I reach inside the body and find a note that's all wet and sticky but just ok to read. It says ‘Thank you Miss I now am together, find my head or you’ll be cursed forever!’
“Can we eat now I'm starving?” said Meg.
We sat down beside a coconut tree and camped. As I open my coconut, the doll's head popped out giving me a big fright.
“I found the head!” I yelled.
We all gathered round to read the note. But there was no note.
----------------Chapter 11
Now that we’ve found the whole body, since there are no more notes left, all I need to do is sew all the parts together and go to the island of distress.
I asked my maid if she has a needle and thread and luckily she did (probably because she is a maid). I carefully sewed the pieces together to make the doll.
We went back to the mermaids to ask them where the island of distress was.
“Goodness! Didn’t you know that you are already on the island?” they answered gladly for they were too happy to receive Meg’s brightest fortune teller ball.
We looked for a place to put the doll that was not too hard and not too easy to find.
Suddenly a hyena skin clothed wild girl, who I later found out was called Angela, leaped from the bushes while riding on a dragon with fiery fish breath.
“Where is the doll?!” She shouted.
“Under the tree” I answered.
Hyena girl Angela examined it.
“AHHHHH!” She screamed.
-----------A rude interruption from the author
If you want to read on you will have to have a scratch on your ear, or you will not enjoy the next part. I suggest you don't scratch it with a knife.
------------Chapter 12
“Catch them, they nearly killed me!” the hyena girl yelled.
“How?” I screamed as the hyenas edged forward.
“I can't hold the doll for a long time without all the parts you dumb dumb!”
I started to run and Meg followed after. My maid was too shocked to move so we left her there. I hope she’s wise enough to at least move.
Meg and I were screaming for our lives when suddenly we fell into a ditch. The hyena girl’s hyena’s circled us for a while but then gave up. The hole was too deep so they couldn't jump down and attack. It’s a miracle we didn’t die falling in!
I was also glad that my maid had caught up and was in the hole with us.
“Where's the dress?” I sobbed. “ How could we have missed such a big clue like that?”
(Warning the next part will be very random.)
“Actually, you need another clue to find the dress and I already cracked the clue on the ship and got it” muttered Meg, holding up a pretty yellow dress.
“Well that's a bit late!” I said, taking the dress and putting it on the bare dolly.
I turned to my maid who’s really called Tess, guess that’s a bit late too.
“What about you Tess? Did you find the ear that we also need behind my back and hide it so when we're really in trouble show it out of nowhere?” I smiled.
Tess glared at me and shook her head innocently.
“I thought not.”
-------------Chapter 13
“Wakey-wakey. It’s a bright sunny day!” I cheered.
Tess and Meg rubbed their eyes and begged for more sleep. But I wouldn't let them. I'm fed up of being chased around so I'm going to find the ear as soon as possible.
We’re still trapped in the ditch we fell into yesterday but it won't be hard getting out since I have so much energy inside me.
When we got out I turned my thinking brain.
“Meg pass me the doll,” I said.
I tipped the doll over and from its pockets fell a note saying: ‘Gruesome gruesome, nearsome nearsome’. Things aren't getting easier for me which means I need a bit more power in my brain, full blast!
“It something gruesome and nearby” Tess wondered out loud.
“Wow you’re really useful today, ” said Meg.
That’s when we heard a faint snoring sound ahead. Only one thing popped into my head, Captain Book.
The closer we got, the louder the snoring became. Or should I say the louder the cat strangling became because that's what the snoring sounded like. As we came up to the coast, we saw Captain Book on the beach strangling a cat. We tried to ignore it but it was quite funny. I had to shout to get his attention and when he turned, his ear fell off.
I had to shout to get his attention and when he turned, his ear fell off. I screamed and my nose came off, not kidding. Yeah, that’s what I said, not kidding! My nose did come off but it didn't hurt at all. I think it's just one of the hyena girl’s harmless magic tricks. (NOT EXACTLY HARMLESS!)
“Hello good to see you. There goes my ear again. It's been falling off ever since I fell out of that ship” said Captain Book.
He picked it up and raised it towards me.
“Here take it; I don't need this kind of burden with me.”
I took the ear and brushed the sand off the bone part.
“Okay, um….. goodbye!” I said to Captain Book because I didn't like him much and I know he's going to die haha.
Suddenly a dragon popped out of nowhere and breathed its fishy breath all over me. I vomited through my noseless nose!
Captain Book jumped on the Dragon's back and hooked one of its eyes with his hookey hand. The fiery creature bit into Book’s wooden leg and dropped him to his death.“Go on child, carry on with your destiny” Captain Book said with his last breath as the last drop of sky closed around him, he was dead no doubt. I was starting to like him now but since he’s dead there's no point.
“Go on child, carry on with your destiny” Captain Book said with his last breath as the last drop of sky closed around him. He was dead no doubt. I was just starting to like him too but since he’s dead, there's no point.
---------------- Chapter 14
The thought of the hyena girl is enough to make me have nightmares. I was busy sewing the ear on when Hyena girl Angela came back, bringing her other hyena pets.
I quickly pulled the last stitch before she snatched the doll away.
“Interesting very interesting. The hyena girl was really…
---------------An important note from the author
You have reached the stage where you can choose your own ending, either a happy one or a sad one. The first chapter fifteen will be good and the second will be sad. Choose wisely, or just chose both I guess.
---------------Chapter 15 (A happy ending)
The hyena girl was really sorry.
“I shall take away the curses which I have planted on you and I will return you to your home” the hyena girl said.
I gathered my stuff while Meg and Tess went through theirs.
“We’re finally going home!” we all cheered. I won't be missing this place even though Captain Book died here.
Hyena girl Angela waved her last goodbyes and said a magic spell. We were home in the blink of an eye. It was nice to see my old room again.
I was very sad saying goodbye to Meg who was really Greek. Well, at least I'm back home with my loyal maid, everything is fine. Things can’t get better for me and Tess. I finally get my groceries and Tess gets married to a handsome lord called John. I guess she doesn't want to work for me anymore.
Now I can't see her straight away but I can still visit her and I did manage to get a new maid called Jasmine, she’s even more helpful than Tess!
My nose did you say? Well, Dr Steve sewed it back on and now you can't even see the marks!
Meg also got married when she went back to Greece. Her husband is a strong man called Hercules.
Everyone lived happily ever after, the end.
-------------Chapter 15 (An unhappy ending)
The hyena girl was still angry.
“You haven't found all the parts, the doll still has a pet call Ice! Now your time is up!” Hyena girl Angela cried.
She never sent me home and planted the curse on me and ordered the dragon to eat Meg and Tess.
The curse was body loss and now I’m suffering from it.
Sorry about that, as I was saying, I'm suffering from body loss and my arm just fell off so I'm trying to write with my left hand which is turning out to be quite difficult.
You know, I'm actually writing with my own blood because the ink is really far away and both my legs have fallen off. No one is going to marry me is this state which means I have no future generations to pass this curse on to, so at least that's good. But now the illness is serious, not just a scratch on your ear.
Oh my right hand still works even though it's not attached to my body. It’s going to get more blood. I want some proper ink but it's not listening to me. Well, I don't need to write anymore anyway, I'm practically dead.
Hey! Right-hand! Don't draw on the paper and don’t...
Hi everyone this is right-hand writing. Sorry but my body just died because the brain escaped. I just want to say thank you for reading this book even though the author’s dead.
Everyone’s dead the end.

8 463Breaking Horizons: Book 1: Snared Origins
Many want to learn things from a story, while others only want fast-paced wonders. We are human and we like to dream, we are alive and we want to feel. Don’t wander outside before knowing the inside. Even if this is slow, it gives you the reader, things to behold. This is a story but also knowledge. It isn’t fast or entertaining but makes you wonder. Everything starts from something unknown, we all want to know the untold. However, can you persevere if something starts being boring? Shouldn’t entertainment start from something unexciting? Open a door to what you might know or not. Learn to dream in my unhealthy abode. Start from the garbage since that’s the place where I belong. Welcome to Raccoon’s abode. Breaking Horizons: Breaching the Fourth Dimension. A slow story that will take you on a ride towards the unknown. PS: Will make things clear here. The actual main character is a human, the raccoon is a pet for the novel. So it isn't a raccoon Isekai or reincarnation as a raccoon. I still haven't added it to the story, as I am currently doing the intro. A long intro! So the start might feel off when you read it. The story will include many genres but starts with psychological stuff and low fantasy. The whole story is an enormous puzzle, but it starts with a tiresome beginning for many. There is a reason for that... If you want to know more about this story check my discord: https://discord.gg/rZs6mem You can ask what you want to know there. Or join a bigger and cooler server where many authors hang out: https://discord.gg/2hbvq8B (Its dungeon engineer and many cool stories' server) This is my own story, so its for me only. I will not have a schedule. I left it on hiatus for a while, can't write two stories, too busy.
