Celosia has known since birth that she wasn't like the other people around her. Her parents always told her to keep to herself and to not draw attention.
The only one that could ever keep her company was her dragon, an Antarctic Dayfrill named Eira. It also didn't help matters that Celosia was crippled by the king.
After the incident with the king, the kingdom of Ellessa remained distant from higher power affairs. With Lord Ivan and Lady Elia in charge of Ellessa they would ensure their daughter's safety. Ensure that she wouldn't be found out to be what she truly was. A Draconisi. A believed to be extinct species who's blood ran gold instead of red.
Centuries ago King Jahkar's father had banished any and all forms of magic, claiming that magic would be the end of men. He frightened men, telling them that in the night magical beings would come and slaughter their babies and wives. Thus started the war between men and magic. Creatures were being killed left and right until magical beings seemed to no longer exist.
The few that were left seeked refuge among each other, preparing themselves for more unexpected warfare. All were now thought to be dead. With magic gone and fear set aside the five kingdoms of Nightriom lived peacefully. Ellessa, Harrox, Syn, Woark, and Utwrait. Tundra, Grasslands, Ocean, Forest and Desert. All facing the same fate.
There is a hidden danger. Unseen with the naked eye, unknown by the common people. Celosia can sense it, but no one else seems to notice. Not until a strange family travels to Ellessa and turns Celosia's world upside down.

Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against her. Both her parents had no magic and thus the chances of her developing it are slim at best.

Good and evil are not so easily told apart, not everyone is to be trusted, friends can die and a happy ending is all but guaranteed. Will Velvet be able to find her place in such a world? Can she become the hero she admired in her storybooks and pass on her knowledge of magic to others as she always wanted? Or will the cruel reality shatter her illusion and bring the girl to her knees?Complete

Curse of the Stars Book 1
"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?Complete
W.E.L.F.S: The Snake's Eye (COMPLETED)
"I saw you and you were just standing there. I started walking towards you and you-just-just stood there." Stuttered Stiles. "I tapped on your shoulder and you turned around. You didn't answer me. You didn't even notice I was there. You just stared at something, something that wasn't visible and y-you-" Paused Stiles, whose legs were vibrating and he started to breathe heavily. "And I what?" I asked trying to get the words out. "You died." He stated. "What?" Asked I, like he had just said the most craziest thing ever. It was slightly humorous. He had to be joking, I thought to myself. "You- just died." Murmured Stiles, who had stopped shaking and had stood up. -------------- The world consists of many parallel multiverses. Each separate and unique. We all know Earth 1, yet not many people are familiar to the lost planet, Earth 1000.

The Sky Between Us
The land was divided by an invisible boundary no soul dared to cross. To the north lay the rugged mountains of the Draconis Dominion, where blackened peaks reached toward storm-lit skies. It was a land of fire and stone, ruled by dragons-mighty warriors whose breath scorched the battlefield and whose talons could carve through the thickest armor. Their scales were deep shades of onyx, crimson, and midnight blue, their eyes sharp as blades. They lived by the law of strength, where the weak perished, and the strong thrived. To the south stretched the shimmering plains of Celestara, a land kissed by moonlight and veiled in silver mist. Here, wyverns reigned-beings of magic, whose songs could weave illusions and whose wings carried the whispers of forgotten spells. Unlike their dragon counterparts, wyverns had only two legs, their lithe forms gliding effortlessly between the stars. Their scales gleamed in hues of pearl, gold, and frost, as though they had been sculpted from the heavens themselves. Power among them was not measured in brute strength, but in wisdom, cunning, and the mastery of the arcane. A war had separated them centuries ago, a conflict so brutal that neither side spoke of it anymore-only that to set foot on the other's land was to invite death. No one remembered what had started it, only that the hatred had never faded. The sky itself seemed to split in two, an unseen force keeping dragons and wyverns from ever meeting. But history was written in lies, and time had buried the truth beneath layers of bitterness.
