The Only Female Dragon
Since the beginning of time itself, there has existed a species blessed by God to protect and guide human evolution. God said to Aitraf and Cilon, "You are the first life I am creating for this planet. You shall always be the steward and protectors of this realm. What I bring to you is an abundance of all the creatures for you to satiate your hunger that you never look upon the humans as nourishment."

Valor
Valor Prologue Slowly, the sun crept down towards the horizon. The stench of death filled the air. A flock of crows flew overhead, letting out loud caws. The men, faces etched with sorrow, walked forward. They carried famine stricken bodies in their steady hands. They laid their grim burdens down on the deck of the large longboat. High pitched wails filled the air. A man walked forward carrying a torch. The flame danced with anticipation. He touched the ship with the lit end of the torch. The ravenous flames spread quickly. A brisk wind filled the sail and the boat strained against the ropes that bound it to the dock. Calmly the man unsheathed a rusty knife and cut it loose. Silently, the boat drifted away leaving a trail of black smoke. Laggardly, it faded into the distance carrying the bodies of the deceased on their final journey.

The Investigation
Word spread that the investigators were arriving and immediately the main street, the square, the church and Master Scoldig’s shop swarmed with people coming and going, gathering, lingering on the doors, as if to say one more thing, as if waiting for further information. Master Scoldig himself went to the isba of Baba Iaga, but did not mention it to a soul.

LEGEND OF THE OTHERS
“The Others didn’t always exist, I mean they did, just not as we’re known now. We used to live as sea people, splitting our time half in the water, and half on the land. We turned to the water more, because it was easier to find our food, trade, and everything else. It was a simple life, as history tells it. We finished befriending the sea creatures ,with the dolphins, swam with the sharks, and oysters willingly gave us their pearls. Then everything changed.”

The Rule of Cool: How Mortal Kombat Taught Me a Valuable Lesson
The 2021 reboot of the Mortal Kombat movies came to our screens in the vague fog. It quietly graced our screens and nestled itself into the annals of cinematic history without causing much of a fuss. Seeing it available to watch on a well-known digital movie channel, I found myself excited to finally see what I thought was going to be another attempt at forging a new cinematic universe. (Given that everyone has been trying to do that since 2010) But when my dear mother downloaded the movie and we sound down to watch it, I was surprised to see that it had only been out since April I found that it was nothing more or less than a good old fashioned action-packed trip down memory lane.

A Passion For Attention
Image Credit: Art Station-angelina andreas Once upon a time, long, long ago, there lived a boy, a prince, in fact, an 18-year-old prince by the name of Alejandro. He, and his mother and father, lived in a castle on a small hill. His personality was kind, he was pure good and he loved his mother, Queen Victoria. Alejandro was an only child and because of this, he had many bad experiences with other people when he was younger. He was named after his great, great Grandpa, who saved an entire village from severe danger. Prince Alejandro was a tall, slim boy. His face was of the gods, with a soft jaw and light freckles. He had dirty blonde hair, matched by his chocolate brown eyes, which many girls became lost in. Unfortunately for the other girls, this prince had eyes for only one girl, a village resident by the name of Abigail. His one true love. Abigail was head over heels in love with Prince Alejandro and would not trade him for anything in the world. She was 17, with a hard-working personality but when she was not working, one of her favourite hobbies was reading. Abigail worked in a library restocking shelves for a low salary. She is one of the quietest people in the world when she is around new people, but when she is with people she knows and loves, she is a big bundle of fun and laughs loudly. Abigail had beautiful bright blonde hair with, equally as beautiful, dark green eyes. She had an hourglass figure and, unlike Alejandro, was a child of many, 7 in fact. Abigail not only loved Alejandro but loved his family as well, mainly his mother, Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria was a lovely woman, who was married to a not-so lovely man by the name of King Harold. Queen Victoria and King Harold were a part of an arranged marriage, organised by their parents when they were young. Queen Victoria had a kind heart and always put others before herself, which was why Alejandro was so kind, she was slim and had a gorgeous face with soft features, bright blue eyes and mousey brown hair. King Harold on the other hand, wanted to rule the world and was power-hungry, he did not care what happened unless it affected him. He had an oversized figure, brown hair and brown eyes. King Harold used to be different until his son came along, Alejandro ruined everything, he took Victoria’s attention away from him and he wanted it back.
