A brand-new Xbox. A happy kid. But this console hides something dark - and it's hungry.

She wants to die. He wants to live. Will a Christmas miracle bring them to the same middle ground?

These are just small pieces of our days. Bus rides, cold mornings, the kind of talk that slips out without any plan behind it. Nothing big. Nothing that would matter to anyone else. Just the things we noticed before they faded. I wrote them down here because, well... if I didn't, they'd vanish quickly like a wave of the sea does. One moment they're right in front of you, and then they're gone, tucked somewhere in the past where you can't reach them anymore. Maybe putting them here doesn't save anything, not really. But it lets me look at them for a little longer. All I can do is catch them for a moment - the light, the voices, the way the city feels when it breathes - and leave them on these pages. These stories were ours. These quiet seconds, these almost-forgotten scenes. But, it doesn't matter because they belonged to us for a moment. And now, they belong to you for a moment too. PS: I'll release this on Royal Road! Stay tuned! :D

A thousand years ago, The 11, blessed be, granted humanity a special gift - the ability to manifest spirits cloaked in one of their representative colors. These spirits grant their wielder extraordinary abilities when manifested, from minor to major depending on the strength of their soul. The Favored, those that can manifest the greatest spirits of all, are blessed enough to earn a spot in the Fold of the Holy Capital, where they train with the High Priest of their respective Temple to better serve the Will of The 11. Dahlia Rusco has spent her whole life dreaming of the day she manifests, praying to The 11 that she would be fortunate enough to become a high tier Manifestation like her mother. While most manifest in their early to late teens, Dahlia has reached the age of 20 without so much as a hint of power coming from her soul. She has become an outcast to those who fear the worst - that she may be a Deviant, one who has no color and is fated to be hunted and killed by the Devout. No one could have anticipated that Dahlia would manifest as a Favored, especially that of the Blue Dragon, and have the potential to gain elemental abilities beyond her control. Dahlia is soon whisked off to the Holy Capital, where she is plunged into a world far unlike the sleepy town of Lyre from which she hails. The competition is fierce between the Favored and yet, something more sinister lies beneath the holy facade of the Temple. Dahlia may soon discover that there is more to the Deviants than meets the eye...and become embroiled in a larger battle than she ever could have known. What are Deviants really? And who is the mysterious 12th Deity? will soon be uploaded onto Royal Road under the same username, tlo387
