 All the research and footwork has finally paid off. Daniel Smith and Peter McCabe are getting close to finding the Patron Elf of the Holy Seven—as they need her help to find an end to Eve McAllister’s vimp curse. Both are in England, Peter going back and forth between London and Oxford in his research while Daniel is in Stratford-Upon-Avon making negotiations with another elf friend. The problem is that a local coven of witches may have set their sights on her, and are meddling in the Elf's affairs. And this particular elf is not one any person should mess with... for some elves were worshipped as gods in ancient days, and this one may have been the Eye of Ra with the powerful destrutive gift of blazing hot fire. 

Mwamba is the son of the chief in his village. He is intended to marry so that he can take over the chiefdom, but a kidnapping of his future bride interrupts his plan. Mwamba soon embarks on a journey to save his future wife.

     Legends have died on elders' last breath and myths slipped from their fingers, but many such stories can not afford to be lost. The Riders' tale is one of those such stories. The Riders are a council of women that hail from a world far more advance than our own. But with such advancement comes boredom, with their creative minds come curiosity and longing follows that curiosity. The end result of burning longing is the situation found today.
   The underworld the Riders are from is abandoned by its rulers, the male and female council left their post soon after their rulers' departure. The folks from this world are displaced on Earth, cursed with no memory of home, while entangled in endless misery. Their salvation rests in the hands of 20 years old Aanujah Azaigh. A woman who has lived many lifetimes, but has no knowledge of and this very information is the key to lifting the curse. The young lady is thrust, head first, into this journey. 
    Aanujah believed her summer would be a simple visit to granny, but the truth manifested itself with sharp teeth and claws. It will take all her courage to not back down from such a force. It will take all her courage to once again become the Lady of Shadow Moon.

This is a fantasy story i am working on. What i post here is the raw first draft. I shall keepadding new chapters. I just think it'll be nice for people to read and watch as it grows.
The story is a fantasy world which i have created. Hoping to have a triolgy eventually.

"In Iceland a long time ago lived a chieftain, Arni at Rennadale. He had a problem - a beautiful young daughter called Astrid who, in 3 years time, would be ready for marriage.

There was already one young man, Sigurd, seeking her hand.
To find out if he was suitable Arni called Sigurd to him and said.

“Long ago I journeyed to Spain and lived there for a year. It is a land of wonders. There was a fruit called the orange, sweet and delicious that grew in the Sultan’s garden. To gain my daughter’s hand you must bring back the seed of this plant and get it to grow”

So much unbearable crap has happened to me in the past year or two. I haven't been very active in writing lately, but when I am, I make short stories, and one day I'll publicly post them when I feel I have enough, then add some more as I go along.
I do this instead of self destructing. So, this is very important to me.
This is a collection of short stories. I ask you to keep an open mind. Some stories may not be suitable for children under the age of 14. And to anyone who is sensitive to anything, this may not be for you. This is one big trigger warning for rape, abuse, and cutting. If anything offends anyone, please let me know, and I'll update this info with more trigger warnings. Some of the texts I have dug up from years ago, and got lazy with editing, and separating paragraphs properly. I apologize, and thank you.

At long last, fans of T.M. Camp's "Assam & Darjeeling" can read the next chapter in the story of everyone's favorite little girl lost, Jee.

(And if you haven't read "Assam & Darjeeling" yet, then be advised: Here there be spoilers.)

At the close of "Assam & Darjeeling" readers were given a brief glimpse of Jee as she approached the Winter Palace. But the path that leads her there is long and twisted, with many other stories to tell along the way. "The Cradle" is the first of these.

Jee is enjoying the new freedom that comes with being an exile from the land of the living. But she soon discovers that freedom has its share of discomforts and dangers. Caught in a torrential downpour, she is taken in by a kindly old couple who, it turns out, have story of their own to tell. And Jee discovers yet again that things in the Underworld are not always what they seem.

"The Cradle" begins a new cycle of stories about a little girl looking for a place that she can, at last, call home.

When their mother is lost in a terrible car crash, two children set out to bring her back from the Underworld -- a nightmare place populated by remnants from old mythologies, defunct pantheons, and forgotten folklore. Along the way, the children discover that they cannot rescue their mother without rescuing themselves first.

Sometimes frightening, sometimes funny, and often heartbreaking, "Assam & Darjeeling" is the story of a brother and sister who have to go through hell together in order to learn the true meaning of family.

"Assam & Darjeeling" is currently available for purchase online in Hardcover, Softcover, and Kindle editions. Visit http://www.tmcamp.com/works/assam-darjeeling/ to learn more.
