The body is like a spiritual river. Energy flows from a powerful source and is eventually either expended or conserved. But spiritual energy is affected by many things, especially our emotions; every feeling of happiness, pleasure, sorrow and regret can decide whether we remain calm, or lose our composure and spiral out of control.
Growing up on the outskirts of the kingdom of Pyrus, Arthur always had it rough. At a young age, he lost his parents when his village was ransacked by a band renegade soldiers, and was adopted by a poor nomadic family. Since that day Arthur had begun training in every way possible, in hopes that should an event like that which killed his parents reoccur he would be able to protect the ones he loves.
One late night while hunting Arthur was on the trail of a deer, when a violent storm trapped him in a cave. After a mysterious roar and a violent lightning strike almost killed him, Arthur awoke the next morning home with a mysterious mark on his body.
Unsure of what happened to him that night Arthur seeks answers, and after making some unlikely allies, he finds out that he is not alone. Fate has something big in stored for him; but will he be able to overcome the obstacles? However, there is one thing that Arthur needs to learn...
Energy lies between the plain of Darkness and Light.

The Golden Dragon's Hoard
Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him. They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive. Everything changes and Stray is determined to make them his hoard, to make it complete.Complete

My shelter from the storm
Anita," her angelic voice calls to me. Thunder rumbles in the distance. Her soft, delicate hands caressing my face, sparkling green eyes grounding me from the dark past I wish I could forget. "You're safe, it's okay." I bring my hand up, running my finger over the mound of scar tissue. The constant reminder of that night. The raised bump covers the bullet fragment embedded in my sternum. She takes my hands as more thunder rumbles and tears roll down my cheeks. "Breathe Anita," she says in a soothing whisper. My lungs were burning with the need for air and it was then that I realized I'd been holding it. I take in a gasping breath and recall the first time my eyes met her green eyes. My sister had been lifted off me and my eyes opening had startled her. The first time she touched me gave me strength to hold on. I held her hand tight, trying to tell her what happened, but couldn't get enough breath to form words. Sitting in the present going through the same as I had five years ago. "They were all found, Anita. They can't hurt you anymore. It's just a storm. All the doors and windows are locked, the alarm is set. It's just you and me." "Will you keep the light on tonight, please?"
