There was a fifth Lord among the original Lords of Cinder. He was not bathed in the first flame, he was drowned in the blood of friends and foes. How will he change the world, will he save the first flame or will he let it sputter?

Basic little ficlets involving my Dark Souls OCs, as they consider the answer to a single question: "How did it come to this?"

The story of a hollow trying to remember his past

Based on Dark Souls 2, this story is meant to explain the lore in story form.

A self insert finds himself in the Undead Asylum and a sinister mark on his chest. Already cursed from the get go, he'll try to find a way to halt its progression by exploring Lordran with the help of his in-game knowledge. However, it proves to be rather difficult for a multitude of reasons.

Quelana struggles with whether or not to follow the chosen undead's advice to return to her sister.

After a warp, Ornstein and Tempest suddenly found themselves in the body of the other. While Gwyndolin can help them, it takes a while, so they are stuck like this for a little while.

The title explains it all, but for fun let's just say it's the Dark Soul's Take on the classic story of Cinderella. Beware for humour, massive arguments and sappy love of the middle-ages.

Normally, knights and dragons are natural enemies, battling over a beautiful damsel in distress. But what if the dragon IS the damsel? Follow an adorably mismatched couple as they journey through Lordran in search of adventure!

"Darkness will shortly settle in your life. But one day, tiny flames will dance across the darkness. Like embers, linked by Lords past and light shall return to your life. Sabrina, hearest thou my voice still, even with the coming dark?" Where the only words of comfort that Harvey could muster, the only words that worked on him and such the only ones he was sure of.

Priscilla's a cross breed trapped in the Painted World. Argon is the chosen undead that got pulled into the Painted World that comes across an imprisoned goddess. So what's a girl to do when a stranger grabs you and pulls you out of the Painted World with him?

The Ashen One had done the unthinkable. Together with his Fire Keeper, they have destroyed the First Flame and plunged the world into a second Age of Dark. Though at a loss of what to do at first, the pair slowly begin to uncover disturbing truths about the world they live in. Truths about the Flame's birth, truths about calamity, and truths about what should have happened instead.

The Chosen Undead awakes in the Cemetery of Ash after linking the First Flame. He will meet familiar faces as he explores the dying world of Lordran in search of the Lords of Cinder. Will he be able to change the fate of the world and avoid the oncoming darkness?

From the dawn of the Age of Fire to the fading of the First Flame, many have shaped the fate of the world by their actions. These are the stories of those tragic souls and the mark they left on a world that has long since forgotten them.

A man ignorant of his past and identity treks through the land of Lordran knowing only that he must gather the four Great Souls, defeat Lord Gwyn, and reignite the flame. It is all he has known since time immeasurable, performing his duty mindlessly and without thought, never questioning or diverting.

Visions of resignation...

Based on my Dark Souls 3 character. Raised in the Cathedral of White, Verna experiences a troubled childhood, but grows into a capable and eager herald. Her first mission to an undead settlement ends in disaster, and this fateful moment sets her on a quest for revenge, as well as a forsaken covenant with the Mother of Rebirth.

Her presence had been refreshing. Bloat-headed monsters made for poor company and worse hunting. But Chester pegged her for a fool almost immediately, for she had clearly taken the words of that oversized fungi to heart, throwing herself into the misty wards sealing the colosseum again and again. She thought she could save him. (Chosen Undead, Chester, Ciaran, Artorias, more...)

Crippled, broken, mute, and locked behind the bars of her cave. All she really wants is to be left alone.

An unlucky guy, Garret is pulled into the dark and depressing world of Dark Souls. As such, he decides to do the only sane thing one can do in such a situation, change the story for the better.

Quelaag is in a fix. First her sister's condition grows worse, and now Kirk comes back with half as many sprites than usual. And to make matters worse, there's a masked undead that just won't leave her alone. What's a girl to do? Oh wait, this undead seems to have quite the supply of spites on him every time he visits. Maybe his refusal to walk away is a good thing after all?

Priscilla and Sif race each other in the Dark Moon Tomb.

The firelinking curse has set the unkindled Edward Sallow into an important duty, which is willing to fulfill, even cofminting some cuestionable acts. But, what if he's being fooled by this goal, what if he gets to know about some secrets of the flame? and if he decides to decline his main purpose...will everyone agree? Or maybe some might try to stop him? Only time will show it.
