This is the story of Murtagh, a forced servant to an evil king, and all of the tortures he endured.

It's been two years since her dad was killed, but just because her dad is gone, doesn't mean the nightmares are. Fifteen year old Charlotte Nickles, is fighting to cope with the world that is so determined to keep her miserable. And better yet, her mom's boyfriend is a creep! But she hides this from her friends, and her mother as well, but why?

Eric is trying to fit in, trying to be like the rest of them, but it's too damn difficult! Homelessness just doesn't work out for him. And what's more is; his boss just gave him an impossible task. Just when he thinks his life is a bunch of bogus, she turns up.  

He remembers her, but is trying to push those memories away. If he thought of those, he would surely lose it.

I began writing this awhile ago, and I mean to begin writing more to it soon.  The idea of this story was inspired by two of my sisters, one of whom was born with quite a few health issues, and I spent my childhood and even now spend a lot of my time trying to help her get through all the shit in her life.  The other had been adopted and gone through hell before.  Though this is not based on the same situations, I attempt to catch the general attitude in it to show others how incredibly strong a human being can be through impossible hardship.  This isn't my life story or my sisters' life story, but rather I am attempting to capture the essence of what life truly is.

Five dragons: Gold, black, blue, red and green.

Five symbols: solace, freedom, choice, joy and adventure.
