Not a Monster
"No sister, please don't do this. I need you." Kristopher begged.
He and his sister Misty were at the top of Mount. Deboron, and he was desperately trying to keep Misty from grabbing the Sword of Eternal Darkness. After their father's death, Misty had broken down. Consumed by vengeance, she began destroying whole villages in her rage. At last, she had heard of the Sword of Eternal Darkness and decided that she needed it in order to avenge their father's death.
"Why shouldn't I? Everyone knows I'm a monster anyways." She growled.
"No Mist, you're not a monster. Please come home with me, I need you. I know you're hurting, Let me help you." Kristopher begged.
He could see the frozen tears running down her face, a product of her raging unpredictable magic. Her emotions were running wild and it made her magic completely unpredictable.
"The girl you once knew is dead, all I am now is a monster that wears her face. Stop thinking you can swoop in, be the hero and make everything perfect." Misty winced in pain as the sword began to take control of her. "I am the monster, I am going to be the master of this blade, and I will take my revenge," She snarled.
Misty fought harder against the fierce wind and grabbed the blade of the sword. As soon as she touched the dark metal of the handle, lighting crackled around her slim figure. For a minute her eyes gleamed with maniacal light as she grinned fiercely. And then, suddenly, she threw back her head and screamed, the combined magic of the sword and her own too much to handle. She collapsed onto her knees still screaming. Kristopher tried to come to help her but she blasted him back.
"No... You can not fix me. Just give up. Do you even really want me back? Or do you want to show off your tamed monster? " She sobbed.
Kristopher reached out to touch his sister again, hoping to remind her of how they used to be.
"Bare gå. Du kan ikke hjelpe meg nå." Misty had resorted to speaking their native language due to her great upset.
Despite the biting cold and storm of magic, Kristopher fought his way to his sister and held her close. It was that moment Misty broke, sobbing she collapsed into her brother's embrace.
"Kris... M cold, please help me. I'm sorry." she begged.
"Hush, kjære søster, I'm here for you. I will never let you go." He soothed. "I need you to release your hold on your magic."
She tensed, "Can't, Hurts too much." Misty whimpered again. "Don't let go please."
Misty was crying so hard that shook, the Sword's attempts at possessing her and her powers rapidly draining her of strength. Misty took a deep breath as she struggled to contain herself.
Kristopher realized that he did not have much time before Misty's strength completely failed.
"Mist Kjær, relax. I'm going to help you. Ok?" He soothed her gently.
Misty was almost too far gone to hear her brother, so close to losing consciousness that she could only murmur, "Please, just hold me. Don't let me go.
"Hysj nå, jeg har deg, it's ok, I will never leave you." Kristopher hugged her tighter as he gently used his magic to free the hold she had on her powers
He had not been expecting the immense backlash when the sword released its hold dark hold on her. He was thrown backward and knocked unconscious. His last thought was 'At least Misty is safe now. But I promised I wouldn't leave her'.
Sometime later Kristopher's eyes fluttered open and he was met by the sight of his sister's tear-streaked face above him.
"Misty?" His voice was raspy and his throat was sore.
"Kris, you're ok. I was so afraid I had killed you. How could you still love me? Jeg er lei for det, broren min." She sobbed.
Kristopher gently pulled his sister into his arms wincing as he relised he had bruised his ribs. "Shh elskling, du er trygg nå, jeg kommer alltid til å elske deg"
Misty smiled sadly, after all they had been through, they were going to be ok.
"jeg elsker deg også bror." She whispered.

Die Your Hero
If I die here tonight
know I've made it right
I'm not afraid to go alone into this night
You hear my mind screaming out,
rid me of this monster inside of my veins
A mark left upon me,
and I'll never be the same
Can you free me now,
from this pain
And if I die here tonight
then know for whom I died
Like stars in the sky, you said you would leave me never,
but have we come to the end of our forever
Drowning me,
losing you,
I could see your face,
I will pull through
The cold and darkness now welcome me
let your face be the last one I see
I will be strong for you
And though this world won't remember my name
I did it for you
And when I'm alone
afraid in the silence
I'll die your hero
And I'll remember, I die your hero
My Winter Lady
Her heart cold as ice
her silvery hair a frosty gale
her eyes are chips of shattered ice
to each door death, she brings
her heart black as twilight
her intentions to bring us pain
she blankets us in frozen death
some ner to rise again
If thou wish to flee my lady's clutches
keep close all you hold dear
trust the warmth of your hearth
your family, friends, and love
once a frosty gale now
lo the spring has come
Artist wanted
Hello Prosers, I'm on the hunt for an artist to draw or paint a few of my characters. It has always annoyed me when fantasy books have no pictures of the characters and I really want to have actual picture of some of my characters. If anyone is interested please message me so we can discuss details.
Thank you for your time.

Beta Reader
Hello Prosers, I am looking for a beta reader for a collection of stories. I am working on a book of fractured fairy tales, the stories that we all know differently. Some will be modernized, some will be twisted, and at least two will be original. I need someone to read over each story and give me input and advice. It will be a book of short stories and anyone interested in beta reading would get each story as I write them.
If you are interested in either of the projects please message me so we can discuss further. Another option is for you to comment on this post and I will reply. I am also willing to beta-read for others if anyone is interested in a trade.
Thank you for reading, I hope to hear from you. :)
Beta Reader
Hello Prosers, I am in need of Beta readers for two separate projects. The first project am working on is a middle-grade/young adult novel, and I am looking for Beta readers. I have a nearly completed draft that I would send to anyone interested. The story is a science fiction/fantasy-based world set many years into the future. Humans have left Earth and found a better planet, where they have made their home. The book is focused on a group of children and young adults whose parents have been taken and they now live on the outskirts of the city, struggling to get by. Unfortunately for them, there are dangers without and traitors within.
I've enclosed a link for a sort of trailer to the book if anyone is interested in viewing it.

__________________________________________________________________________
The second project I am working on is a book of fractured fairy tales, the stories that we all know in a totally different way. It will be a book of short stories and anyone interested in beta reading would get each story as I write them.
If you are interested in either of the projects please message me so we can discuss further. Another option is for you to comment on this post and I will get back to you.
Thank you for reading, and have a great day.
Begin at the beginning
This is the first page of prompts that I have for everyone and they will all be snippets of dialogue. Have fun and please tag me. :)
But really, did you honestly think you could trust a traitor?
How many times will I break your heart before you finally understand you can’t trust me?
You should have known, once a villain always a villain
I’m tired of being the villain, can’t I be the hero in someone’s story?
Shall we… burn it down? Burn down your town just as you burned our villages.
“You left us, you left us and you broke my heart.”
“I broke several hearts that day, including my own.”
Perhaps you have never seen the real me.
If you saw the monsters I hide, you would leave.
You created this monster and you blame me for it?
“They say I’m a monster”
“That’s okay, so am I”
She bit her lip hard enough that blood flowed, then she smiled as she wiped the ruby red droplets off with the inside of a pale wrist, “It worked.”
I don’t know how to stop fighting, I’ve been doing it on my life what am I if not a warrior?
“You’re leaving after I just started to trust you.”
“I’m sorry, but even if my story doesn’t have a happy ending I can at least ensure you and your family do.”
I promised you the world and I delivered, I just forgot to mention it would be on fire.
