Renfred Rykker, Lord of Duskandale watched as the banners of House Stokeworth, Buckwell, and Staunton approached. The morning sun cast a golden glow over the marching columns, their colorful sigils fluttering proudly in the breeze. The green and white of House Stokeworth, the blue and gold of House Buckwell, and the black and white of House Staunton moved in unison.
Beside Renfred stood Damon Hollard, a short but sturdy man with a strong jaw and piercing blue eyes. His dark hair ...

Today was the day of the Oscars, and I had begun preparations for it since morning. The makeup artists had arrived early and had set up in the room they always used. I sat on the makeup chair as they buzzed around me, applying makeup and styling my hair. This was not something I looked forward to when attending events, but it was part of the process.
Both 12 Angry Men and Toy Story 2 had been nominated for several awards. Toy Story 2 ha...

Rhaenys was still having trouble believing what had happened.
Their journey from Duskendale back to King's Landing had been fairly uneventful until they were ambushed as they passed through House Hayford's lands.

They had been traveling through the forested area in hayford, the path narrowing with tall trees on...

Morning light filtered through the windows as Maekar sat in his chambers, writing a letter to Brandon Stark. His quill moved swiftly over the parchment, the ink forming precise, bold letters.

The final book in the Percy Jackson series was released to the expected reception. It was selling well, and the fans of the book series liked the ending.
However, the same could not be said for 12 Angry Men. While it had made its money back, it wouldn’t be making much more as other movies had taken too much of the audience away.
Despite this, the studio was not worried, confident that they would turn a profit from DVD sales.
It was now t...

12 Angry Men was released a week ago. As expected, the film was a phenomenal critical success. Every critic praised it for the plot, the cinematography, and the acting. Words like masterpiece, timeless, and Oscar-worthy were being thrown around.
However, despite the glowing reviews, the film was not looking like it was going to be a financial success. The box office numbers were underwhelming, and it seemed like the br...
