For the past 6,000 years, humans, dragons, elves and dwarves have lived somewhat peacefully. All throughout those times, there were rumours about the underlings of the world rising up. Time after time, the Ancient Order of Dragons had told people the rumours were false. But now, orcs, the undead, ogres, and giants have been attacking towns and villages.

The Council of the Elves advised the Dragons to take action, but none was taken. This has made the world think, and now they want to remove the Dragons from power.

Orin by SmlAlwaysOriginal
9 parts Complete Mature
Orcs were a warring race. They were a tough race. They were the kind who thought that a male loving a male was lowering himself and weak. Snow Elves were beautiful with pale skin and silvery hair. They were also arrogant with any race outside their own. While most races were conservative with their lovers. Elves were free about loving, inside their own race but didn't love outside it. What happens when an Orc Warrior falls for an Elven Prince? Excerpt: "Damn Elves. Think their are better than everyone. I could break one in half with two fingers." my brother says. We watched the long procession of them winding through the city. These were ice elves. They were tall, lithe, silver hair and pale skin. Eyes every shade of blue that could exist. Clothes of white that made their skin look shimmery. Unlike my brother I thought they were beautiful. Something that none of my race would like me thinking. Being an Orc I was raised from the time I could walk with a sword in my hand. Our natural desires made us great warriors. I had been a soldier since I was sixteen years old. Orcs weren't known for romantic notions such as beauty, unless it was to describe an ax throw. We ate drank and breathed war. With the race wars centuries past we all mingled freely with each other but there was still those that didn't like each other. My brother was one who thought that humans were decent and Elves were arrogant. Though most any Orc didn't like them because they had a tendency to insult us the first chance they got. "Someday one's going to hear you and going to shove their slim little dagger up your nose." I tell him. He laughs and scratches at his chin.

Of Love Tales and Rabbit Tails by SilviaKrpatova
39 parts Ongoing
After six years in a progressive French boarding school, eighteen-year-old Lady Alice returns to her family's estate in Surrey, dreading the fate that awaits her-- debutante balls, an arranged marriage, and a life she does not want. She would have preferred to stay in France, teaching and writing love tales rather than living one dictated by others. Once cast aside by her own father and a stepmother, Alice finds their sudden desire for reconciliation hollow. Only her childhood best friend, Michael, Marquess Lovelace, seems like a true comfort. But as she settles back into her former home, something strange begins to happen. A black rabbit, eerily familiar, appears in the shadows-- just like the one that belonged to Edmond, her long-forgotten imaginary friend. And then she meets Count D'Arcy, the enigmatic and elusive neighbour whose presence unsettles her. His eyes, his voice, his very being remind her of Edmond. Could it be him? Or is her mind playing tricks on her? As the social season unfolds, Alice finds herself tangled in a web of mystery, romance, and the supernatural. The past and present blur, forcing her to question what is real, what is illusion, and whether love can exist beyond the bounds of reason. In the haunting halls of her childhood home and under the watchful gaze of Count D'Arcy, Alice must uncover the truth before she loses herself to the unknown. ~~~ My entry for the ONC 2025 based on the prompt 105: Your childhood imaginary friend, who disappeared years ago, suddenly returns - only this time, they're real.
