In a world where a powerful spell is the only measure protecting witches against the 21st century stake burnings, 16-year-old Kelsey can't resist arguing with her mother, leader of the witch burners, over the good of magic. When Kelsey discovers her own magic, she joins a bunker for protection and training, and vows to show her mother that not all witches are an abomination. However, the fight between good and evil isn't as black and white as Kelsey had hoped, with evil sparing lives and good sacrificing them in a misguided attempt to keep magic alive. Kelsey finds an alternative plan: to rip magic from the world. It's drastic, it's unforgivable, but it might be the only thing that can save witches from themselves. However, destroying magic will break the spell protecting witches from the witch burners. For once in her life, Kelsey will need to reason-not argue-with her mother that witches can be good people too, or else the stake-burnings will commence.

I've always been fascinated with stars. Stars. Even the name just rolls off the tongue and right into your wildest imaginings. Ever since I was a kid, I would stare up at the sky every summer night, and name every constellation I knew...which happened to be all of them, considering I memorized an entire book about astrology when I was twelve. Years later, that would not be the case. I remember one night, just a few weeks ago, that I looked up at the very same stars I had seen my entire life and felt nauseous. That night, it made me physically sick with disgust to look at those familiar patterns of light. What had once brought me joy now only stirs up painful memories. How times change. Never again would I look at those stars with the childish wonderment and fascination of the past. Never again would I look upon those glowing orbs, bask in blissful ignorance, and think that they were all alone up there. I could never again say that we are completely alone in this universe. Never again would I look upon a certain gravestone and not blame those cold, calculating stars. I, Stella Wolfe, would come to discover true corruption, true evil, true friends... and maybe even true love. Is is possible that we could still save the world?After everything have done to me, and to humanity, do we even stand a chance? Well I guess alien hybrid powers, an real live alien-turned-talking-cat-turned-human(?), and a few other psychotic people could help... You'll just have to read the last page to find out... ⦁☓☽☓☾☓⦁ (If you were too lazy to read that whole thing, no worries. Men in Black meets Divergent meets some cliche mystery horror film is the perfect summary and all you really need to know. Your welcome, my lazy friends.)

11x featured wattpad story. Before everything, it's assumed there was nothing, but what if there was no real difference between the two? Just two extreme philosophies from the first conflict. The planet Huom has been under observation for longer than should technically be possible. The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men. What does all this have to do with arsehole Gods, hairy Dwarfs, frustrated Afreets, curious Knomes, lizard-women, and nude Áettar? Perhaps Nothing, perhaps Everything... but why can't it be both?
