Lectures, term papers, and the occasional party-these were Diana Selene's expectations regarding her first semester of college. Instead, she is confronted by the return of her shadowy world of nightmares and a peculiar young man named Darien Shepherd, who is much more than he appears. 

After an evening of danger, excitement, and wonder, Diana is introduced to a world she never thought possible. An ancient realm of magic lies hidden under the very noses of humanity, and Diana soon finds herself in the midst of Darien's quest for an ancient relic of magical power-the Chalice of the Moon-as she seeks the truth about her own mysterious nature.

Reflections on the Dįvonësë War: The Dįvįnë Will Bear Witness to Fate by SHRobinson1701

Chronicle one of the Drågoon Mémoirs. Born a Magi into a life of privilege, Samahdemn grew up in a society where being born with such a gift undocumented is deemed a crime by long-standing religious decree. Over the centuries of his life, due to a constant mental disquiet because of his aggressive and sometimes violent nature, he's gone from being a disgraced noble, to a slaver, to a Knighted servant of his homeland's crown, where he eventually found some measure of peace by venting his magickally suppressed aggression in a more positive direction. Or so he thought at the time. Eventually finding himself in the shadow of looming hostilities between Åmbrosįå (the world's beloved Goddess) and Lumå'įl (Her former consort-turned-old displaced God), Samahdemn finds himself being quietly pushed from being a mortal on the verge of losing control of his life, to an immortal with the soul of a Drågon. Charged to lead mortals in a conflict that endangers every man, woman and child on Mundus be them Man, Mer or Fae. After begrudgingly accepting this fate and leading the holy charge in the devastating Dįvonësë War over the lands of the living world and helping to save it from fates unknown, if only barely, he now writes his mémoirs in the hopes that doing so will give him the piece of mind to know that all of his means truly were justified by their ends.

ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows by rinaXhazurina

"Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, a dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world, the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to attain freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Mature Contents: gore, violence, and subtle depictions of abuse and substance use.

Supernova by infamous0110

Zora always knew she didn't belong to this world. She didn't even know her real name. She never met her birth parents, having been left in a firehouse as a 6-month-old baby. Zora has bounced from one foster home to the next since she was a troubled child. Bad things, or "accidents" always followed Zora. She always felt like she was one step behind everyone else trying to catch up. Trying to be normal, but Zora is not normal. And never will be. Bryce Cullen is another lost soul in the world. He is also one of a kind. When they first met it was a supernova, two stars coming together in a stellar collision with stellar dynamics. As an evil is looming, threatening to destroy the Earth, can these two outliers save the world with powers neither utterly understand? ~~~~~~~~~~~ Zora could only shiver as: his eyes darken looking at her, becoming more onyx black, and purple bruise-like shadows appear beneath his eyes. Bryce stands at 6'2" and has a thin and lanky but muscular body. Zora felt a tiny piercing pain trying to hit her over and over, but somehow it was blocked. "Where am I?" "Who are you?" Bryce asked sternly, glaring down at Zora. "It's her!" Piper said running onto the field. "That's the girl! She is the girl from my dreams! She is the one to bring Hell Fire!" ~~~~~~~~~~~ Updates every Wednesdays! Participating in: #theseasonalcontest

Promise of the World [Canaan, Book 1] by Chryiss_Rose

Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world.

The Harrowed Circus by ItsLoz96

The moon is rising, the show is about to begin... but not everyone will make it out alive. The Lunar Circus isn't a place for children, or anyone faint of heart. There are no tickets, and it only appears under the light of the full moon. This is no ordinary show-it's a spectacle where humans come to witness creatures from fairy tales and nightmares: a bearded mermaid, a vampire contortionist, a werewolf cannonball, and more marvels hiding in the shadows. But as the audience gathers, people begin to vanish. Harrow, the fae ringmaster, is struggling to keep his cursed performers under control, and the danger long whispered about threatens to spill out from behind the curtains. The arrival of a new star, Seraphina, only makes things worse. As she dazzles under the spotlight, suspicion grows. Harrow can't deny his fascination with her-but he can't ignore the fact that she might be the key to the disappearances.
