Ethereal; adjective
extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world.
It was the year 2024; 7 years after the war.
Valera Hyde. Too old to be a child, too young to be a woman. Surrounded by her aunt, uncle and about 30 cousins, she isolated herself from the real world. Avoiding reality, she created a world of her own: Ethreal. All alone in the world, she spends her time creating stories in Ethreal. Valera didn't want to grow up. She wanted to stay in her paradise. Little did she know, she'd have to grow up, stronger for her family.
Because in 2017, there was a war. Valera can't escape it, the terrorist group that invaded her country.
Afraid, she watches out for her family. Scared, she dreams of Ethreal.
Throughout time, she begins to wonder if reality can disappear and if dreams can come true. Slipping into the world she made, she escaped the harsh world and into Ethreal.
While Valera sleeps, she dreams of another life. A life in Ethreal. Before she knew it, she is crowned Princess and meets pirates, hybrids, spirits and a guy who is going to change her life. Throughout the three nights of sailing the sea, riding her horse and being with him, she wanted to stay there forever.
Emphasis on the word 'wanted'.

Elyra: Legend Reborn
There is a force older than time itself, flowing unseen through the land, the skies, and the souls of those who walk this world. Some call it magic. Others, destiny. But in Elyra, power is not merely taken-it is earned, stolen, fought for, and sometimes... cursed upon the unworthy. The continent stretches endlessly, its lands carved by ancient wars and civilizations lost to history. Ruined cities stand as silent witnesses to battles long forgotten, their stone walls whispering secrets only the daring seek to uncover. Deep within the mountains, martial artists forge their bodies into weapons beyond human comprehension, their strikes capable of shattering steel. In the grand halls of scholars, mages bend the laws of reality, weaving spells that twist the very fabric of existence. Some claim magic is boundless, limitless in potential... but those who reach too far often find themselves consumed by forces they cannot control. But for every force that builds, another seeks to destroy. Beneath the surface, fire rages in an endless inferno, a realm where even the bravest fear to tread. High above, unseen hands pull at the strings of fate, shifting the balance of the world with every whisper. And hidden within sealed chambers, beings older than the stars slumber, their names long erased from mortal tongues. Legends speak of a kingdom that once ruled everything, a kingdom that no longer exists. Some say it was consumed by its own greed, others whisper of a power too great for the world to bear. Yet remnants remain-artifacts, symbols, fractured pieces of a puzzle scattered across the land, waiting for those foolish or ambitious enough to seek them. The air is shifting. The world stirs. Something is waking up. And when it does, Elyra will never be the same.

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest.
