In an alternate present, electricity was never fully cultivated, as another, far more powerful, type of power became common knowledge around the same time, that of Ether, previously known as 'Magic'.
Those capable of gathering this power are known officially as 'Ether-Weavers', or 'Etherial Conduits', and unofficially as 'Mages'. As it is the cornerstone of modern warfare, economy, and power production, these people are in the highest of demand, and of course in need of proper guidance by the best of their craft.
The countries that have been declared neutral are tasked with gathering and training these valuable assets for the warring states of the world... whether they like it or not.

Iron Fire Dominion
A vast land ruled by ancient noble houses and Steam-Arcane Empires. Gunpowder, magic crystals, and steam engines coexist uneasily. Most nations still fight in static musket lines — shoulder-to-shoulder, firing volleys under banners of honor. But whispers of “tactical warfare” from old relics of a lost civilization hint at a new way to fight. Magic is not mysterious here — it’s harnessed through Etherium Cores, crystals that can power both spells and machines. Engineers are treated as craftsmen, not soldiers. The aristocratic generals view them as “servants of the battlefield,” not as tacticians. That’s about to change. 🧑🔧 Main Character — Cedric Arkwright Background: A disgraced military engineer once exiled for “heretical inventions” that challenged traditional warfare. Personality: Analytical, sarcastic, loyal to his men, always sketching blueprints. Goal: To reshape war into something efficient, humane, and victorious — even if it means defying tradition. Weapon of Choice: A modular ether-powered rifle he built himself — adaptable for sniping, short-range bursts, or anti-armor fire. Specialty: Combining tactical movement and mechanical innovation — introducing dodge-and-shoot, trench cover, rotating cannons, smoke screens, and mobile fortifications. ⚙️ Magic–Tech System (“Aethercraft”) Etherium Crystals: Source of magical energy. Used to power rifles, engines, and automatons. Arcane Circuits: Metal inscriptions that channel ether energy through machines. Steam Augments: Combine mechanical pressure and ether control for hybrid inventions. Engineers = “Aetherwrights” — mix magic and mechanical science. Battlemages use direct spells; Aetherwrights weaponize science.

The Solace Chronicles
Not so long ago, humanity fought the gods above them. The war against the Ethereals was long and bloody, and only the discovery of magic saved humanity from total annihilation. With the fusion of magic and technology, they clawed their way to a stalemate; in time, the war was over. Humanity had secured their freedom...or so they thought. The Ethereal War changed life on Earth forever. The world is now plagued by glyphstorms-- constant, magic-infused dust storms that drive those who linger too long to insanity. Traveling within them is thought to be impossible, and the only shelter comes in the form of magical shield domes over humanity's cities. Progress is rapid, yet isolated to pockets of civilization. In the same world where some people thrive, many others struggle, their spirits kept alive only by the hope of a better future. But the future is uncertain; until humanity can discover the secrets of shield tech and brave the storms that divide them, they will never be truly free. ------- This is a collection of short stories that take place within Solace, a fictional science-fantasy setting I have been working on since January 2025. This is not the mainline story, but may involve side plots, alternate perspectives of story events, etc. Basically this is my way of getting back into writing on Wattpad and having a catch-all for any short stories related to Solace. This will be updated as I go, and I'd love to hear feedback! [This cover is a placeholder and I don't take credit for the art. It was taken from a copyright-free source]

When Wings Collide
Getting shoved into a floating sky kingdom full of supernatural psychos was not on Alina Stormpaw's bucket list. But humans signed some "obey or die slowly" contract, so now every magical kid gets dumped in Etharia whether they like it or not. Most students teleport or ride glitchy flying cars to school. Alina? She flew her own damn wings up there. Because rules can kiss her ass. Now she's stuck in Etharia Sky Academy, surrounded by stone-skinned gargoyles, fiery phoenix kids, attitude-soaked sirens, and enough random powers to start a magical apocalypse. And then there's Lucas Moorea. Shadow wolf. Golden boy. Walking ego problem with fangs. He thinks he owns the school. She thinks he needs to be drop-kicked off the nearest cloud. Too bad fate (and their equally sharp teeth) won't let them ignore each other. She can see through his shadows. He can't poison her no matter how hard fate tries. They're the same size in beast form, the same level of dangerous, and absolutely the same level of stubborn. Etharia might be ready for war. But it sure as hell isn't ready for them. ------------------

Attacked in Tan'thalon's rain-soaked alleys and pushed to the brink, she is saved by the Diviner herself-an elementalist whose discipline and instinct eclipse everything Talia has been taught. Bound by duty, shadowed by a controlling guardian, and driven by a world on the edge of ruin, Talia must choose who she will become. A sheltered paladin of noble blood... or something more. The sands are moving. Legends walk unseen. And the first step toward destiny is learning how to stand.
