When students across the world are tested for their abilities to be accepted to the Elite Nations University (ENU), they are REALLY tested in every possible way. Their lives change for the absolute worst... well, atleast in most cases. Little do they know that unknown people are constantly watching and unexplainable things keep happening at suspiciously convenient times. The constant turn of events hits them like a wave full of deceit and shocking truths. Who can they trust when everything they've been told is a lie? Had their parents just sent them to the beginning to where their lives crumble? However friendships and relationships are formed, creating some of the strongest bonds they never would have gotten the chance to know. But the question still remains.... Who is a friend or foe? ☆Sneak peek from this story☆ The ringing in my ears grow louder, it's pitch-black because my eyes are tied. However I can tell I'm in a red-lit room, sat on the cold tile floor. "Why hello, ***. I'm so glad you were finally able to come. I hope they weren't too hostile with you." I know this voice, it's almost too familiar. "Who is this?" I ask, feeling like I already know the answer to my own question. "Oh, don't be in denial honey...", she says taking steps closer to me. She pauses before whispering, "You know exactly who this is..." She unties the cloth around my eyes and honestly.... I wish she remained mysterious... ☆The end for now...☆ ;)♡

I have been assembling a collection of names(and their meanings) that I personally found quite lovely. So I've decided to share them with my fellow writers in the hopes that they can inspire others as they have inspired me. In the collection there are names from many different countries and cultures and so whatever the ethnicity of your character is they can have a name from their own heritage.

An entire year was misplaced in her mind. The doctors say it's a freak amnesiac incident and she would whole-heartedly believe them but she can't shake the feeling that there is more to it. There has to be something they aren't telling her and she will find out. She will get her memories back.

Hey everyone, I'm Robin from Germany and a few years ago I met and fell in love with a Brazilian girl and we ended up moving to Brazil together.

Eleven-year-old Ella Durand is the first Conjuror to attend the Arcanum Training Institute, a magic school in the clouds where Marvellers from around the world practice their cultural arts, like brewing Indian spice elixirs and bartering with pesky Irish pixies.

In the heart of Texas, where culture, cuisine, and celebrations collide, one name stands out in the world of visual storytelling - Yevette Heiser. Known for her distinctive approach to both wedding and food photography, Yevette Heiser: Transforming Texas's Wedding and Food Photography is redefining how Texans capture their most cherished moments and most flavorful dishes.

There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)
