The Unwanted Bouquet

Eilith_Veyne
You ever have a perfectly peaceful life? One that’s quiet, predictable, comfortable? Yeah. I had that once. A nice little flower shop, a hidden enchanted garden that only I knew about, and exactly zero unnecessary distractions. My business wasn’t booming, but it was steady, and most importantly, I was left alone. Then, they showed up. First, a half-dead human collapsed outside my shop. Like an idiot, I brought him inside instead of leaving him there to be someone else’s problem. Turns out, he’s from some ancient mage bloodline and thinks I—just because I’m an elf—should teach him magic. I have lived centuries longer than him. I have forgotten more things than he’s probably ever learned. I told him no. He whined. I told him no again. He kept whining. Eventually, I caved, but only under one condition: if he wanted to learn, he had to work for it. Then, just when I thought my life couldn't get any worse, we found something worse than a lost human—a vampire. Sleeping. In my enchanted garden. Acting like it belonged to him. He refused to leave, ignored every single one of my threats, and had the audacity to look offended when we tried to kick him out. In the end, we had to force him to help with the shop just to make sure he wouldn’t be a freeloading parasite. And now? My once-perfect, peaceful life is in shambles. The shop is crowded. My workload has somehow doubled. My garden is infested with an insufferable mage and an even more insufferable vampire. And with February just around the corner, business is picking up, meaning I have even less time to deal with their nonsense. I never asked for this. I never wanted this. And yet, somehow, this is my life now. I am too old for this nonsense. Someone, send help!

Sovereign Ascendancy

In the turbulent twilight of the 15th century, where clashing steel and whispered intrigues shape destinies, one bold warrior dares to defy the old order. In Sovereign Ascendancy, a skilled swordsman emerges from the shadows of feuding fiefdoms to forge Averenthia—a realm carved not merely from bloodshed, but from an iron will to create a kingdom ruled by absolute might. Averenthia’s birth is wrought amid swirling battles and clandestine court intrigues. Our protagonist, a formidable fighter armed with unrivaled swordsmanship and keen strategic insight, embarks on a quest to unify scattered lands under his banner. The story unfolds against a backdrop of grand, rising castles, echoing duels on rain-soaked moors, and clandestine meetings in torch-lit halls where honor and treachery wage a ceaseless war. As armies clash and alliances shift like the wind over ancient battlements, every cut of his blade and every whispered promise draws the nation closer to both glory and the inevitable cost of absolute power. Yet, as Averenthia’s lands firm their foothold through valor and might, the burden of ruling a realm steeped in old legacies and new ambitions begins to take its toll. Our hero must navigate the treacherous dance of loyalty and betrayal, questioning whether the fervor of conquest and the sharp tang of steel can ever reconcile with the fragile dreams of peace and justice. Sovereign Ascendancy is a tale of ambition, honor, and the brutal realities of leadership, where the clashing of swords heralds the forging of a legacy that will echo through the ages. Curious to delve into Averenthia's secret orders of knights, the legend of its enchanted armaments, or the ceremonial duels that decide the fate of its leaders?
