Olivia Meyer is a girl who has always loved the fantasy world. One day, she comes across an old shed in the woods that takes her to a world of magic, a place she's always dreamed of. She's always struggled to fit in in the "real" world so a chance at escape seems almost like a dream as she sets out on her journey. What she doesn't realize is that nightmares are dreams too.
Reality by: @nimaprobablyhatesyou
What world do you live in?
What world are you a part of?
The blistering, heated world,
The cold, crule reality?
What a paradoxical world we live in
So why do we expect someone
To be one happy
Or sad? When our world
Is neither and all.

Candlemaiden: The Stranger Shore
Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm.
