"Billie? Who was it?" My mom questions from the kitchen.
"Some man named Stokeley. He wanted to let us know that the trunk was open, I guess you might've forgotten to close it." I walk back into the kitchen.
"Did you introduce yourself too? Or is it not any better than last time?" She looks at me.
"Mom." I say slightly aggravated. "You know how i feel about hanging around with boys."
"I understand Billie, but this is a fresh start, there isn't anything wrong with making a friend or two while you're here."
"I don't know yet mom," I frown, "Everything with Logan seems so fresh in my head,"
"Okay well, whenever you are ready I will be here with you and you can invite the boy over." She walks out of the kitchen leaving me to my thoughts.
'Billie,' I say to myself. 'Be careful,'
See the whole problem is, I can't trust anyone. I stopped going to parties, and hanging out with my friends because it seemed like everyone wanted certain things from me.
But I feel like I have a wall inside of my head that's also telling me what the right and wrong things are and seem like. Almost a gut feeling way to put it better in words. It's been built over the past 3 & ½ years.
Besides, who would wanna love a broken girl anyways?

Blood Demon's Retirement
Civil War had raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor. This is not his story. The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. Thus she retired, and went and did exactly what she wanted. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace. Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy. Expect: -slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action -world building -detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then Do not expect: -romance, other than maybe some passing mentions -politics, again, barring passing mentions Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. ---------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road and Scribblehub websites. If you should find this story elsewhere or under another name, please let me know. Also please don't be too hard on me when I make occasional grammatical mistakes, English is my third language after all. XD Edit suggestions are very welcome though. Discord

8 154Book of Sand
Aumee is known as 'wannfota' by many in the Waystland: the bird with black feet. She is owned by Daya, a renowned witch who trains young women as her spies before selling them off as wives. In order to maintain what little freedom she has as Daya's assassin, she obeys any and all commands with no questions asked. That changes when Aumee senses that Daya is after something important. After bargaining her freedom for the spellbook that Daya is after, Aumee is determined to find the book no matter the costs. All she has to do is track down a spellbook, but she soon finds that her desire for freedom is further from her reach than she had ever thought.

8 226Despondent Divinity
There exists a Great Seal which split the world in two, one half ravaged by the Darkness, the other a safe haven of Light. Since the collapse of the old world, 20,000 years have passed, and the world watches on as their only protection from the Plague of Plagues slowly dissipates. Only the strong may survive the oncoming Demon horde, and the forgotten prince, Jack Calmira, fears he may not have what it takes. In a world where weakness is punished by death, what are weak men to do? Author's Note: Expect a chapter or two every month, but I'll get faster eventually. This story isn't a Wuxia, but it has a lot of eastern influence. The MC isn't OP and is flawed. Less action, more character driven. Constructive criticism would be appreciated as it's my first story. Chinese culture has inspired a lot of the novel, but much of it is an amalgamation of different cultures, some made up and some not. Think Xianxia + Shounen with a mix of western and eastern fantasy elements.
