Shards: Intro- Part 1 (old) by Scoringbox

The First in the old Series! As the 21st century continues, Mankind is completely unaware of a whole other world that shares the planet with them. A world deliberately concealed for both of their sakes. A world mankind has forgotten. A world of magic. Citizens of this world are at risk of being discovered every second of every day, as our jets, boats, and even undersea cables run through their lands in the middle of the three major oceans spanning our planet. The only luxury protecting them is their long tradition of remaining forgotten by humans beyond their borders, and their magic making that tradition a reality. But as life goes on for the likes of Atlantean's like Gemini and Paige, a mysterious threat begins to emerge; to Atlantis in particular. A threat that could pose dire consequences for every living being on Planet Earth. This is the Intro and 1st installment for my old Shards Series. I hope you enjoy it! Pls 💬 and ⭐️! DISCLAIMER: This is my Original work. Do not copy it. The entire Shards series belongs to me as well. You are however, free to write any fanfics as long as you mention me.

Siren by kalriaa

Legends, Myths & Fairytales. The world is full of these stories, specifically those told of mythical, magical creatures that dwell in the ocean - Sirens. Sirens are described as the most hauntingly beautiful and dangerous beings of the sea. They are rumored to lure sailors with their hypnotising songs. Ever wondered why? Our story begins in a small coastal town nestled between mountains and the shimmering, endless ocean. There, a young woman by the name of Marina resides. Marina's tale doesn't start as a Legend, Myth, or Fairytale, but as a rumor. Known for her celestial beauty and captivating voice, her destiny is not one she chose but rather one that was forced upon her.

Creatures in Depth | ❚❚ by june_berrin

Cassia Winslow was one of the few humans who knew about the dark creatures that prowled deep within the waters, and she had already paid the price, or so she thought. ** Having been ripped apart by the loss of her family to sirens, Cassia became a ruthless siren hunter. Leading a team of siren hunters, Cassia wanted to kill as many of them as possible. Love took a gamble as Asher Berkshire--a man from a different reign, joins Cassia, plunging toward a sea of horrors. But Cassia's already crumbling life, took a dark turn as the sirens came out from the sea and began to stain the land with blood. Like a game of chess, endangering the lives of each person Cassia held dear. While Cassia finds herself drawn deeper into the dark, deep marine world, she tries to unravel the blurred layers of water that sheltered the truths of the sirens. But time is ticking, and within her, Cassia has a fearful truth: one that could ruin everything. After all, the creatures in depth are born there because of what they are capable of. ****** NOTE: You do not need to know anything about sirens to read this story. It has no connection to its Greek mythology roots either. ****** Cover credits @AngeBlancRose Weekly updates Every Monday.

There is a whole world Azora has yet to discover. That is our world. The times have changed, humans have changed and somewhere along the way, they forgot about the magical races, forcing them to go into hiding. Azora comes from one of those hidden races whose home is under the surface of the sea. Rejected, alone and unloved, hope for a better future seems to be just out of her reach. But then, life gives her a chance to enter the world of humans, and to do that, she has to let them change her in ways she never thought were possible. In a school created for hidden races, she is learning how to assimilate insensibly into the human world. There are many lessons to learn, many mythical creatures to get to know, but the one thing she never dreamed of is that one homework assignment might change someone's life forever. With her friends by her side, Azora will let her curiosity take her on a journey of discovery, to unveil the biggest mystery in the history of her race. Genre: Fantasy / Urban Fantasy Story status: COMPLETED. WARNINGS: This is not a romance story. The MC doesn't fight the big bad villain. There might be parts that might make you chuckle.

When the Ocean Calls by MusicalKehleigh

The ocean can be gentle, lulling one into a false sense of security. But the waters are never calm in the Bermuda triangle, and when the waves pick up, one may be dragged under the sea. Kiara Vatelle's love of the ocean brings her to The Bahamas for her senior trip. It is her dream vacation - four weeks of sun, sand, and quality time with her sister. Only one thing can foil her vacation, and that is the ocean itself. The Bermuda Triangle hides a secret: mermaids and mermen. After swimming a little too far from the shore, Kiara finds herself in an ancient, undersea realm of mythical sea creatures. This new world is enchanting, and the mer-folk treat her like family, but are they just a little too eager for her to stay? From the ancient Kingdom of Oamer, to the hide-out of Pisces and Nereids, to a cursed Island and Tocona Isla, the odds seem to be against Kiara. Because even if she outwits those standing in her path, the seas always have their own plans. A tale of shady mermaids, astrological guardians, and a summer ocean adventure. ✧Second Draft ✧Cover by @_Foxicious ───｡ﾟ ♆ ﾟ｡─── ⚓︎ Featured | @talesofthedeep - Fintastic Reads ~ Sea Creatures ⚓︎ Featured | @mythandlegend - Atlantis and Legends on the Sea ⚓︎ Featured | @StoriesUndiscovered - November/ December 2020 ⚓︎ Finalist | @Fantasy Every Day in May contest 2019 ⚓︎ Honorable Mention | @PsychologicalNovel Reads Contest 2020

He's now 22 and freshly graduated from university. He thinks that it's time to fulfill his curiosity by taking a self trip to that beach in the hope to see his life saver.
