Chronicles of Flames by PeculiarPraise
29 parts Complete Mature
The powers that come with a covenant are strong, intoxicating and head-turning. Like a surfer on the waves, you feel on top of the world. Until the wave comes tumbling down, crashing upon you. Such was the case of Ella Macmillior alias Aquifer, chosen of the Seven Seas to open the portal for Lord Dagon, Leviathan, Behemoth and the Queen of the Coast to invade the earth realm. She didn't ever want to be controlled. She wanted to control. Unfortunately, that wasn't to be the case. She was destined to be a mere tool to be used and dumped. A slave. There was no backing out. She was stuck deep in the mud. The heat was stifling, gradually siphoning life out of her. Until she encountered her means of escape. Until she broke free from a lifelong shackle. Or so she thought... Beware, lest your foe pounces upon you like an unsuspecting prey. Beware, lest you are led to assume that the flame of evil has been quenched. Because, as you stomp on one, squelching the flickering embers, the minions are just around the corner, gathering sticks to ignite another fire. Ella Macmillor, chosen vessel of the seven seas who has water-bending powers, meets Deborah, a vessel of the One called the Redeemer, and breaks free from the clutches of her captors-Mergirlina, her assigned mermaid demon, Leviathan, Behemoth and Queen of the Coast and the head of them all, the ancient Lord Dagon. Find out how she battles her hideous past, finds her formerly unknown siblings, finds love and becomes truly free. ~~~ Second place winner of The Seasonal Contest Awards, paranormal category. #tsc22 First place winner of The Phoenix Awards 2022, Mystery and thriller category.

Start Date: September 16, 2017 End Date: August 1st, 2018 Shapeshifting has always been around us but we've chosen to remain ignorant to the signs we've been left with. But in reality, it has thrived not below us but within us and around us. We continually turn a blind eye to the treasures hiding in plain sight. At the age of fourteen, if you are suspected to be a shapeshifter, you are required to go to Vale, a school. A school like this was hidden from the world under ground. Once at the school, you are sorted into to teams of eight to fifteen students. Each team is given a quest to complete instead of completing an exam. If the quest is not completed, you do not advance to the next year. With tensions running high between the Shapeshifting Clans, this is not easy. At the last minute, a group of nine students is thrown together to form a team. And they don't exactly get along. Lark Tanning has just discovered her powers and is still exploring the peculiar aspects of her predicament. She struggles to understand why she of all people is put to lead the team's quest... and so do the others. Harper Magdalena has known she could shift into a bird since the age of five when she fell off the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. She'd never told a soul until one August day when a boy accidentally stumbled upon her shifting. When she's offered a place at Vale, she's amazed to learn she isn't as different as she thought. Lance Taylor is an arrogant boy who's known it was his destiny to go to Vale since he was able to walk. He's anxiously awaited the day of being assigned a team and quest. He can't wait for when he's chosen to lead his team through their quests... until he finds out he won't be. The team has a bumpy road ahead and if they can't learn to work together, they could very well fail the quest but much more is at stake than that. A mysterious voice has been edging their way into some shifters' minds and no one can figure out who it is or what they want.

24 parts Complete

Nixie Caldwell lives in a New Earth. A world that has mutated along with the people in it. A world with four domains of life. The domains are Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Each resident is born with special abilities involving the element that they were born into. Each elemental lives in their separate regions away from the others. They rarely saw each other. Especially if they are royals like Nixie. Nixie is a water princess who has been studying the other royals almost all her life, but she has never seen anyone outside her family. On her sixteenth birthday, she is finally given the opportunity to meet them at the royal assembly that is held every year in the Earth domain. When she meets unknown creatures trying to destroy her, a handsome prince willing to court her, a pair of twins filling her life with humor, and a mysterious boy she cannot fall in love with under any circumstances, she starts to realize that life is a lot more complicated than just proving herself to her father and that being queen isn't actually the most important thing in her life.
