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?

The Durochers have long been known as pillars of the Staten Island community. For five generations they've answered the call to serve and protect, each male member of the family becoming decorated officers within the NYPD. However, young Alexander Durocher has other plans. It's summer 2001 in New York City and Alex is getting ready to graduate from Columbia, heading off to a prestigious three-month internship before starting law school in the fall. He's got a future that spreads beyond the boundaries of the borough he was born in, and a serious girlfriend his Roman Catholic parents adore. He knows where he's going because he's deciding the path, and he's not about to let anything - especially his homosexuality - get in the way of that. Please read the author's note for all warnings. Amazing cover created by @ointments!!

This is a new fantasy story of my own making drawn from the inspirations of different fairy tale stories that I want to make. It begins with the iconic phrase. Once Upon a Time. A mysterious girl leads Lily to a small port town called Syrena Cove. This investigator holds the key to unlocking the lost memories of each inhabitant. This girl held onto the belief that Lily would be the one to break the curse that took hold of the seaport. The belief was that each inhabitant was fairy tale creatures of their own story but they forgot that part of themselves due to an enchanted curse.
