***Featured Story in 2017*** "Without Balance Lies Only Chaos." ______________________________________________ Every two hundred years, since the beginning when Earth finally evolved into a planet of life in our universe, there was a selected few who were granted the responsibility of wielding the remarkable power of the four famously known elements. Fire: Element of Determination and Strong Will. Earth: Element of Logic and Realism. Air: Element of Intellect and Freedom. Water: Element of Emotion and Compassion. In addition to the four main elements were two more rarer ones: Light and Darkness. Light being the element of the Day and its purity whereas Darkness is deemed as the element of Night and its wickedness. However in due time the generations gradually became flawed, hurtling into world of unbalance. Darkness had unhinged, rising, growing vengeful against her own and none other then the next reincarnation of elements were needed to stop her. Unexpectedly, they were teenagers. |HUMOR| FANTASY| MAGIC| Constructive criticism is very much welcomed.

It had always been the three of us, and then it was the two of us-Ed and August. There was not, nor had there ever been a chance of a Noah and August. And that was fine. Because the truth was I had known Noah forever but I still had no idea who he really was. Especially not now. In this sizzling novella, one girl must choose between loyalty and love. August had the two best guy friends a girl could ask for in Noah and Ed. Then Ed confessed he felt more for her - and their new relationship changed everything. She had hoped it would be Noah that she'd end up with someday, but it's clearer than ever that Noah's just not interested in being a one-girl guy. When the small seaplane the three of them are on crashes, August finds herself injured and marooned on an island with ... Noah. Unsure of what's become of Ed, August and Noah do their best to not lose hope as they fight to survive on an island that is not as deserted as they first believed. But fighting the elements - and their attraction to each other - becomes a losing battle. Soon, a secret from Noah's past that could bind them to the island forever is revealed, and August must choose between giving into her feelings for him, or struggling to make it back home.

Nimeni on Van tai oikeastaan se on Vanessa, mutta ei sillä ole niin merkitystä. En ole ihminen, en itseasiassa edes tiedä mikä minä olen. Lucifer otti minut huostaansa ja siitä lähtien olen tehnyt hänen likaiset työnsä. En ole saanut elää normaalia elämää juuri ollenkaan, ystäviä minulla ei juuri ole koska he päätyvät yleensä kuolemaan. Kenen toimesta? No minunpa tietenkin. Miksi? Luciferin käskystä. Elämä on suorastaan ihanaa manalassa, varsinkin kun Hades ja Lucifer eivät tule toimeen keskenään. Joskus vain toivoisin että tapaisin ihanan pojan ja kaikki vain olisi normaalia, mutta se ei tule menemään sillä tavalla. Minä vain en ole normaali ja se siitä.

Mark on 17 vuotias poika, joka on aina rakastanut tarinoita kreikan mytologiasta. Varsinkin tarinat eräästä tietystä jumalasta ovat aina kiehtoneet häntä. Hän on kuitenkin aina pitänyt tarinoita, pelkkinä kertomuksina, kunnes Markin elämä muuttuu niin radikaalisti, ettei hän ole enää varma mihin uskoa. Pian hän huomaakin olevansa himon, rakkauden ja seksikkäiden miesten ympäröimänä maailmassa, josta hän on uneksinut vain villeimmissä haaveissaan.

Seventeen-year-old Zelene had never believed in magic or prophecies; until the day she was attacked by an assassin with unnatural powers. Now, her life has been thrust into a war between two worlds she knows nothing about and told that she must fight against an enemy determined to snuff out her existence-all because of some ancient prophecy that claims five girls from her bloodline will unite and end the war between the worlds. As their enemies strike, the girls are forced to flee back to their home world after being hidden away for so long. There, Zelene meets Rhaya, Terrena, and Isauria and discovers the familial bonds tying them together and to the powerful Duillaine who rule over the worlds. Zelene sees this connection as a prison rather than protection and can think of a place or two she'd like to shove the crown she supposedly inherited. When she learns Ariana, her long-lost twin sister, has been captured by the rebels, Zelene's attitude changes. With whispers of Ariana being the sacrifice needed to fulfill the prophecy, Zelene knows she has to act. She doesn't know how she is supposed to go against an army of magic-wielding rebels when her own ability to manipulate the elements is still locked within her. But can she trust the Duillaine to rescue Ariana when it seems their medieval politics are what brought about the war in the first place? With all that is at stake, the answer becomes clear to Zelene. Screw the worlds. She's getting her sister back.
