"The city of Nergui sits nestled against a great tree, its upper city and castle climbing the trunk in worship of the nameless god once believed to be slumbering inside. Though many traditions from the old ways still linger, only one law remains sacred under the Crown: magic must never be used. Unless, of course, you swear fealty to the crown and become one of the Clocktower Watchmen that serves under the royal family, otherwise, you become known as a Variant; Someone who awakens with power, and will be hunted by The Watchers until they can grant you swift death. Everlyn is neither, but she stands on the side of the Variants.- Club Ophidian, located in the lower city, scattered amongst the roots of the great tree, is home to the Project Icarus. A group of Variants who want nothing more than to protect others from the crown and grant them a new life, one where they don't have to hide in fear, and Everlyn's adoptive mother, Annalyse, is the one who founded it all. Still the newest member of Project Icarus, she finds herself journeying outside the boundary with her friend to save a young variant, an adventure that sends her spiraling after stumbling across a masked figure in the wilds, and being attacked by a creature she's never seen before. As she struggles to make sense of it all, Annalyse hands her an unexpected responsibility; Mentoring the enigmatic stranger with a voice that haunts her, and a presence that unsettles her in ways she can't explain. The further she goes to protect everyone around her, the more the city's secrets begin spilling out. Who is the nameless god the city worships? Why is magic illegal? What are the nightmares she can't escape? Why does the mask figure appear around every Variant they save, and by the time she finds out, can she still hold on to who she is?

The war affected everyone in its own way. Families were constantly living in fear, soldiers had to face the reality that they might not live to see the next day. But that all changed when the dragonets brought the Sandwing heirs together, and Thorn was crowned Queen. From this they created an Academy, for dragons of all tribes to come together. Artemis is one of these dragons. As her parent's compassion for each other and their family deteriorates, the two Nightwings decide they've had enough of them and enroll Artemis and her eldest sister into Jade Mountain. Of the three newly added Winglets, she's enrolled in Opal, and is relieved to know she isn't the only peculiar one in it. But before they know it, Artemis and her friends are faced with a prophecy, and a dark secret. New continents, new tribes, new enemies. They face the biggest threat to Pyhrria since the end of the war. Gold, silver, sun and moon, the scales have tipped. This is the story of Artemis. (Please keep in mind that this story was written right after Moon Rising, before any of the other books of Tui's second series. Excuse any inaccuracy. Consider this an AU)

this story is something I've been writing for the past few days I hope you enjoy what I have written so far. *Just a warning this story might be a bit darker than that of my GH series* Arwen is a mage that has been forced out into the wild all alone by soldiers of the Kingdoms who've destroyed her village-but when she comes across a mysterious deer, she finds that there are more to mages than she's been taught.
