Sponge needs to harness his powers, Bankfoot needs to rebuild his home, and Furytail needs to tell Zaletooth's legacy. Each, with their own reasons for chasing these gems, find themselves patching old wounds from the war. Three cursed merfolk, willing to cross into the soul worlds, know that they too shall perish without the presence of gems.

There is something out there calling them, and when they find it, they'll return with their species' lifeblood; Ersboric gemstones. Fins Above: HOPE is an intermission of 24 chapters, which takes place between REUNION and FLIGHT. HOPE tells the lead up to the events of FLIGHT, and explores old parts of previous installments.

The world of Illirah is off balance. The seasonal rains that kept the deserts hospitable have disappeared. The oceans have become so turbulent just being on their shores is deadly. The northern territories have been enveloped in an impenetrable shroud for over a millennium. Now the land of the Crystalline is under siege by a powerful and nearly ancient threat. For 17 years the Shardbound Empire has attempted to unite the south western region of Illirah forging an alliance with the 10 lion prides remaining in the grasslands...all other predators are expendable as far as the Emperor is concerned. Tariq, a scimitar cat from the highlands bordering the Empire learns this first hand when he, his father, and elder sister are captured by the Empire to be used as fodder for the Emperor's soon-to-be war with the smilodon, bear, and hyena kingdoms to the south. It will take all of Tariq's wit and patience as well as the help from unlikely allies to save not only his family, but potentially all of Illirah itself.

It started with getting stabbed. Later, mugged. Then, he forgets them both. Owen had lived a simple life with simple dreams, but an ancient conflict catches up with him, as does a forgotten past. With answers easily slipping away and chaos rising the more he fights to find them, there was no telling what hides in his forgotten core, and what he will become once unleashed.

The Yakistini Tribe was already falling apart: countless Nichlings had died, the food count was at an all-time low, and land was being lost to rogues with every passing season. But as if that wasn't enough, now another impending threat lurks beneath their paws, destined to destroy the entire island and everything that calls it home. Only a select few Nichlings are able to escape the island by way of a mystic set of stepping stones, leaving everyone else doomed to die an inevitable death. Sikola is one of many Nichlings left behind, and must push aside the grudges of her past if she is to find a way to escape with her life. Preview: ~~~~~~~~~~ "It's about time you made it, Yakistini. I knew your kind were slow, but really? I could have killed everyone here and been on my way by the time you arrived." A sudden snarl erupted from Chestnut's throat and he primed into a fighting position, his scales flared and hammertail curled. Hekala bared her huge white fangs, and Twigfoot started to brandish his torch. "Now, now. No sudden movements, or I might have to take... drastic action." A Nichling holding a large burning branch then sauntered up the boulder, puffing out his chest with pride and smirking a toothy grin. As he reached the edge of the boulder's jagged tip, the rogues below him began howling and barking a gruff applause. The Nichling was black with pure red splotches across his chest and paws, as if permanently stained with blood. His three gems and eyes were a dark orangey-red, and seemed to glimmer in the firelight. "Black Dusk..." Twigfoot mumbled under his breath. ~~~~~~~~~~ (This story was inspired by the character design and gameplay of Niche - a Genetic Survival.
