Fallon never meant to survive the night. Broken by grief and haunted by shadows that she can no longer outrun, she throws herself from the cliffs into the storm-torn sea-choosing darkness over another dawn. Instead of death, she finds fire. A dragon rises from the waves and pulls her from the abyss. Ancient. Wounded. Hunted. When the beast vanishes, and a stranger with molten-gold eyes takes his place, Fallon learns the truth: dragons are not the mindless monsters the kingdom fears. They are shifters-rare, powerful, and nearly extinct. And Ambrose is the last of the Draco. The realm has already sent its most revered knight to finish what generations began: the eradication of dragonkind. If Ambrose is found, the Draco will fall forever. Fallon owes her life to the creature the world calls a monster. As soldiers close in and secrets of the old magic awaken in her blood, Fallon must choose between the safety of the kingdom that failed her-or the dragon who saved her. Protecting Ambrose means defying the crown, confronting the knight sworn to destroy him, and risking her heart to a being of fire and shadow. Because the greatest danger isn't the blade hunting dragons. It's falling for one. [Entry for the Open Novella Contest 2026]

Hello, this is my first story I made so it maybe imperfect ,and moreover, English is not my native language, so there will potentially be spelling mistakes or bad grammar but I'll try to not make any. I wanted to make a story about a sonic univers but not just any Sonic universe, The 30 years later! Because I've never seen a story about this universe, and it seems to have potential in my eyes. But this story will primarily focus on Skye Prower, the son of Tails and Mina ( yes, with Mina , which I don't really understand but I still find them adorable together) and on my AU, which is one of the mythical creatures of Japan: The kitsune. Of course they will be different from or close to the traditional kitsune and PLEASE respect my AU. I wanted to create a story with Skye and the kitsunes from my AU, which I created a little while ago in my head. Now! Let's delve a little deeper into the story : Skye is a very shy and reserved boy, having difficulty speaking in public due to his small problem. He's the spitting image of his father and moreover, to be his spitting image he seems to have inherited his intelligence but isn't as gifted as his father in certain areas. But of course, nothing is easy for him because he suffers from the criticism of the other children because of his two tails but ,one day, where his family went to a park and was rejected by the other children. He saw a little human girl call him to "play" an adventure and in this moment, he's solo adventure began. He's going to make friends,discoveries about the world he fell into and find a way home ! Oh! and there will have some angts ( sorry for making a long ass summary ).

Sonic is a popular and rebellious high school kid. He likes to sneak out, party, explore abandoned places with friends, and take a hit of a cart or two.

From now on, Sonic was going to attempt to befriend Shadow and make him part of his little group. [This is sonadow!]
