《Shadow Falls》3: That darkness will be there
Advertisement
Kiritsa, better known as Erida VanIsle, was the Lord of Shadows. Though most do not know her well, some understand that her title is not just a title but a statement. Kiritsa is not to be taken lightly. An unfortunate experience awaits those who become her target or enemy , and know she is not someone to be trifled with.
Many see her on the surface as a thin, short-statured woman, while others dismiss her based on her beauty. While she is a Dark Knight, she is more dangerous than that. She is a powerful Kirral who commands legions, her enemies fear her and she can destroy them with ease.
Countless say that it feels like you are slowly drained of life as you stand in her presence. When the Lord Shadow speaks, some say she seems to devour the oxygen from the air. Kiritsa's power is not to be underestimated. It is as if she could swallow the planet into herself if she so chose. She speaks quietly and walks with a soft grace, but the Lord Shadow hid her emotions with such ease that it was nearly impossible to read her. When she did smile, it could strike fear in those around her. Her smile was cold and it seemed to take on a life of its own -- she became a different person, someone much more dangerous.
Most find themselves distracted by her beauty or titles, and they miss the most crucial detail: the one that can save their lives. She is not to be underestimated just because she might appear humble, gentle, and gracious -- her power would terrify those who may stand in her way as she is a force to be reckoned with. She was an excellent assassin, who could blend in and disappear without a trace. That is why she is the Lord of Shadows – she stands in the chasm between the darkness and the light.

The darkness follows her everywhere she goes. It's ever-present and all-consuming, it waits for the ideal opportunity to strike. Sometimes you can feel its attention on you, it follows your every move. But you should know better than to let your guard down. Because the moment you do, that darkness will be there, ready to pounce. If you are smart, you won't trust her. Ever. Those who do find it's often too late, she has already struck.

Saga of the Storm Wizard
Rose Cooper had always been told she has a lot of potential as a wizard cadet. Too much, in fact; her weather magic frequently ran wild when her emotions got the better of her. That was why the mission to uncover a lost magical artifact in the Spratly Islands was perfect for her. They were no man's land, abandoned by both the demonic Grim Horde and the human Anti-Demonic League. All Rose would have to do to do was keep the weather under control. All of that talk of the Spratly Curse was just superstition and nonsense spread by bored sailors. If only. Evil wore many masks, as Rose was about to discover. Warning: This story contains elements that some readers may find disturbing, and minor language. Think of it as a PG-13 rating. This series is a spinoff of the Confessions of the Magpie Wizard series. As such, it contains spoilers for the main series. I have attempted to write it so that you could start here without reading the original story.

8 117The Great Erectus and Faun
The Great Erectus, otherwise known as "The Big Guy" is NOT a god. Don't call him that. It will tick him off. He and his newfound apprentice/sidekick the definitely not a creation goddess Faun have a little problem. The Big Guy's universe is blowing up. Faun might have had something to do with that. (She feels awful about it BTW) They must rush about the unraveling universe saving (or judging) worlds as the end of all things is bearing down upon them at the speed of light, so they have a bit of time but really can't mess about. Along the way they will encounter Lovecraftian horrors, divine ex-girlfriends, surly AI's and a host of other hassles. Enjoy such delights as the complete destruction of the universe, a children's "Christmas pageant" except where "the greatest story ever told" involves an eldritch horror from another universe, and an innocent misunderstanding concerning the exact definition of a "red dwarf". Existential dread! Lovecraftian comedy! It's as much madness as can be shoved into a single work and still remotely make sense! If you enjoy completely off the hook lunacy, this one is for you!

REAL is a series of ongoing tales, each centered around an individual student at Finnel's school. Framing slice-of-life authenticity with cool powers and uplifting humor, REAL maintains a light, fun tone while never shying away from digging down deep into weighty themes like identity, connection, and meaning.
