From on now I will be strong, I won't quit or be scared when my situation turns grim like I have in the past. I will be reborn like a phoenix; the ashes of my home cleansing my soul, giving me the strength of the people I once knew. My mission was set and I was going to succeed, even if death tried to take me like it had Louis. I was going to bring him back. I had to.
Silver Sharlet lives in a world where the class you are born in defines you. Being one of the lowest humans in society she is treated like dirt and eventually begins to believe it herself.
However, when a dragon destroys her home, leaving everyone she ever knew dead, will she be able to live on and search for a magical treasure to bring her only friend back? Or will her weak nature deter her from her only hope of regaining her happiness?
Can a mere Rat really change the course fate has set for her?

Cassiopea's School for the Gifted
In a world where magical creatures and humans intermix, there are two types of magic and two types of people. Dark magic and light magic. Good people and evil people. Our main character is going to learn that your powers do not define who you are as a person. Arion Griffin lives in a society where people with light magic are 'good' and people with dark magic are 'bad'. He comes from a long line of dark magic. Unfortunately, this causes many problems for his social life since his family's reputation precedes him and makes it so no one will talk with him. He is worried it will make his greatest fear come true. He is terrified he is on the path to becoming evil like his parents. Then, one day at school he gets an invitation from Cassiopeia's School for the Gifted. Sure he's heard of it, but only in rumors. The school is just for magical creatures to learn more about themselves and their history. It was made over three hundred years ago and still run by a fairy named Cassiopea and her daughter Cassia. Arion is excited to go because his parents refuse to teach him anything about other magical creatures other than dark magic. They believe it is irrelevant for him to know because they think he will take over the world one day. And why should a leader know anything about his subjects? Arion convinces his parents that if he goes to the school he can do recon on the other magical people so he can learn about them and make it easier for him to take over. With no friends, no siblings, and a very negative outlook on life, he heads to Cassiopeia's School for the Gifted. He makes friends and learns that just because he has dark magic, doesn't mean he is evil. *Idk if this is actually a good story but I had a lot of fun writing it! :) *This story has been editedComplete

Having strength doesn't make you invincible, no matter how strong you are, those you care about will always be your weakness. Reality can be dark, and not everything will just fall into place. Join Lava on her journey from baby to benevolent dragon queen! ----- This is my first attempt at writing. Sorry for how bad the early chapters are, I didn't give enough backstory, and introduced so many things I didn't know what to do with at the time and it really backfired on me later. Once I finish this I might go back and rewrite the early chapters. It wasn't until ch.23 that I started to get better and at that point it was a little too late to make it great. Cover AI generated

The Story of Midnight
"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?Complete
