The Ether-Knight's Lessons

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.

Little Light
In the fae realms, power is everything. It determines who you are, how high you rise, and how far you fall. For centuries, the Light Fae have ruled the Crescent Kingdom, their golden Queen standing as a beacon of strength and unity. Born with the promise of power that never came, Ciara has spent her life surrounded by whispers. Whispers that she's unworthy, that she's a fraud. For decades, her council has kept her from asking questions, masking their control as protection while stifling her every attempt to lead. Her crown may gleam, but it's nothing more than a cage. When a shadow creeps across the border of her realm, threatening her people with war, Ciara knows she must act. But an alliance with the Dark Fae-creatures of shadow and chaos-is unthinkable to her council. To them, the Dark Fae are the enemy. To Ciara, they may be her salvation. Caught between two realms, Ciara finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Dark Fae and their cunning and unpredictable ways. They offer her freedom, power, and a chance to reclaim her destiny. But in a world of shifting loyalties and dangerous bargains, nothing comes without a price. As secrets unravel and tensions mount, Ciara must navigate a treacherous path where every choice could mean betrayal. Her council has made their position clear: they will do anything to keep her under their control, even if it means stripping her of her title.Complete

BattleMages
In the continent of Edonia, there lies a grand kingdom called Nirewin. Nirewin was a well established land with history upon history of stories. Many rulers led Nirewin with an iron fist, leading their people into several years of prosperity and peace. Many great warriors were trained in Nirewin with many of them aiding in the Dark War. The Dark War came about when there was a difference in what Mana was used for. The Mages of Edonia has shown and proven that Mana, the life force of Edonia, was used for protection and good. However, many Mages took a darker path, saying that Mana was mainly used for power, to defeat those who posed a threat to one's way of living. Seeing what would transpire if this continued, the Mages of Edonia exiled any and all who tried using Mana for sickly acts. Thus became the rising of Warlocks and Witches. Seeing themselves as better and flawless in every way, the Warlocks and Witches formed the Grand Covenant, to strengthen their own teachings and to prove kingdoms all over Edonia wrong. And with that, The Dark War began. Mages battled the Witches and Warlock within the grand kingdom of Nirewin. After many suns, many moons, and many fallen allies and foes alike, the war was over. The inhabitants of Nirewin are now safe from such a vicious attack. But now, a new threat peeks its face over the horizon of Nirewin. One of the founding Witches of the Grand Covenant named Helena was slain in the Dark War, leaving her daughter to be raised without her. Now, full of rage and seeking revenge, Helena's daughter, Quara sets her eyes on the Mages of Edonia...

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. ------------------
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]

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a companion story to ICE LIKE FIRE, the sequel to SNOW LIKE ASHES. I say "companion" as it parallels the beginning events of ICE LIKE FIRE -- and as such, you will find a few minor spoilers for ICE LIKE FIRE. If you are the sort of reader who screeches in horror at the thought of a spoiler of any kind, LOOK AWAY NOW. But if you are the sort of reader who flips through the pages of a book, perusing lines here and there before you've quite finished it yet...well, read on, dear rebel reader. Read on. *** SUMMARY: "She was part of Summer, and Summer was part of her, and this land wouldn't abandon her too." Ceridwen Preben, princess of Summer, has spent her life plotting against her brother, Simon, the Summerian king. Simon has embraced the ruling family's reputation for using their conduit to keep their subjects in a state of bliss, and has spent his reign slowly driving Summer into ruin, filling everyone with carelessness and letting them turn a blind eye to Summer's rampant -- and deadly -- slave trade. But Ceridwen refuses to let her kingdom disintegrate, and with the help of her fellow rebel-in-arms, Lekan, she hopes to undo Simon's lethal dealings. But when Ceridwen uncovers Simon's deadliest plot yet, she starts to realize just how deep magic runs -- and that even though her kingdom is one of sunlight, with light, there always comes shadows. *** The first part of this story will appear on Tuesday, September 8. Parts will continue to be uploaded every Tues/Thurs through October 8. Look for ICE LIKE FIRE, out October 13 from Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins!Complete
