wips !

i have a lot of wips right now and i’m doing my best to balance them and i have some that i want to really work on this coming year so here they are !! the wips i want to work on in 2020 !! if you have any questions about any of these wips, please ask them!! also if you want to be on a taglist for one of the wips let me know!! :D

And the Moon Sets 

ahh, yes. the story of Takeda Neoma, leader of the Takeda Clan, the girl who takes the war into her own hands and tries to bend it to her will-- or maybe it’s bending her to its will. either way, she’s living a bloody life with much fighting and hardship, fighting the war and trying to prove herself as a good Clan leader despite her age and her methods, fighting to bring peace to the land of Kenzawa.

by her side are a few key people-- 

Takeda Katsumi, her younger cousin, the one she wants to protect. Katsumi is the only family Neoma has left, and she is dedicated to protecting her with her life; that’s why Neoma is fighting this war, to keep Katsumi safe. Katsumi is a sweet girl with a presence of youth that is a breath of fresh air for all those around.

Murakami Kazuyuki, her best friend, her favored ninja, her shadow. Neoma found Kazuyuki when they were both eight years old. despite their ugly meeting, marked by tears and yelling, Kazuyuki has stayed by her side ever since, dedicated to serving the one who saved his life.

Iwasaki Okemia, the vassal that saw the determination in Neoma’s eyes and took the time to train her after Neoma was orphaned. she helps Neoma whenever she can, acting like a tutor, a caretaker, a parent, and a soldier. Neoma confides in her about many things she doesn’t dare mention to anyone else...

Kato Kioshi, the peace treaty, sent to the Neoma in an attempt to form an alliance between the Takeda Clan and Kato Clan. he’s an anxious ball of nerves who has only heard horror stories of Lord Takeda, and at first they all seem true, with her bouts of rage...luckily they haven’t been aimed at him.

other possible characters: Solor, Sharik, Aurelius, multiple vassals of Neoma. i’m sure more will come the more i work on this wip.

Broken Thrones

the wip that started it all. Broken Thrones. the story of the rebel leader Culraes as he tries to overthrow the tyrant Queen Jayah and her family. he fights with the rage of an entire army. the story of the fugitive Amary and the baggage she carries as she flees to Issera, where she meets said rebel leader. could Fate be at play?

some important characters--

Jayi, the rebel leader’s second in command and adoptive sister. she’s a bit of a wild card and her love for battle can be a bit off-putting, but she’s surprisingly compassionate at times. you never know what’s going to happen when she’s around. also she’s carved out her own eye. 

Jeris, a helper in the rebellion and a healer. his magic isn’t the strongest, but he uses it when he can. he’s been through enough war in his life, he’s just ready to end this rebellion. a close companion of Culraes’. 

Warin, Culraes’ self-appointed adoptive father and one of his biggest supporter in the rebellion. he seems very non-assuming with his long hair and soft-looking edges, but don’t let that fool you. also he’s a tired dad. 

Rosar, the princess of Feria who has come to Issera on her own with just her seeing-eye and guard dog, Banjo. her bond with Amary seems suspicious to Culraes, but Rosar herself seems like an innocent girl. plus she has a useful magic in her fingertips...

Athum, the son of the tyrant queen. not much is known about him except that he’s been working with his mother since he was young. Jeris says he used to know him but will say nothing else. 

other characters: Tasiriti, Sazai, Lei-ya, Bau, Eira, Lumi, Finlos, Fable, others to come probably. 

[Untitled]

(considering naming it The Stone and the Sea, as i’m taking characters from that abandoned wip and also it seems to fit this wip...but idk....if you have any suggestions, let me know!)

a newer wip !! it’s about Princess Rayen Rosabelle of Adrayria, the coastal city with an odd attachment to the ocean. she’s thrown into the limelight of the kingdom after her parents move away from the castle. she’s thrown into a world she was sheltered of, that of the true responsibilities of royalty. diplomatic relations, language lessons, history lessons, and all sorts of other lessons fill her schedule, plus she has to qualm the fears of her people and keep the threat of war low...

some important characters--

Nerida, the queen of Adrayria and a siren. she has spent more time than she should have on land and now her health is declining rapidly, which is the cause for Rayen taking over the throne.

Calder, the king of Adrayria, the king who has always had a longing for the sea, the king who fell in love with a siren. he loves his wife and daughter dearly and is doing his best to take care of Nerida. 

Naevys, one of the royal advisors, his specialty being war, history, and country relations. he’s one that Rayen most commonly approaches when she’s having difficulties with her lessons. he’s also close to her age, which makes her more inclined to befriend him compared to the other advisors.

Caspian, Rayen’s uncle. a sailor by trade who was raised not knowing he had royal blood, and now that he knows he just supports his niece and her parents where he can.

Alana, an old friend of Caspian’s and an aunt of sorts to Rayan. a human-turned-siren, she helps Rayen deal with her siren blood and she also helps Rayen’s mother when she can. also, will kill a man.

side wips !!!

Songs of Fate

one i’m not so confident with, but i love the characters! 

the story of Aria as she figures out her role in the prevention of the spreading of the shadow lands and the wolves that reside within them. with new friends, the danger doesn’t seem so bad at first, but then there’s betrayal and kidnappings. how will she complete her mission of saving the land if everyone keeps stopping her?

characters: Aria, Rune, Valentine, Mizuki, Ashal, Angel, Gilbert, Dahkay, more to come. 

Shards of Time

this is the name i have on wattpad for my random scenes, but i also have an idea for a bunch of short stories to write for. all of them would be in the world i have established with the wips above. i’m not sure what all they would include, but there would be some fun little stories featuring some legends and referencing each other. and some that include Thistle, everyone’s favorite snow leopard centaur!

The Beast’s Rose

a wip i had forgotten about...but it’s my own take on Beauty and the Beast! Beauty has a family that consists of herself, her mother, and her twin sister, Tinker! i don’t have a to for it, but i know that Beauty herself is blind and the Beast doesn’t wish to keep her prisoner, but the curse that was laid upon his palace caused it to be so that if one should wander onto the property while he was still under the curse, then they had to stay....
