Leala Ariosto just finished her junior year in high school, and is about to start the final summer vacation of her childhood. She expects it to go by as quickly as the last, but that is proven false with an event that reconnects her with a friend she thought she'd never see again, and a car accident caused by a nightmarish beast that the rest of her family doesn't remember.

Daniel Marchand is about to come of age, and in order to prove his worth to his family inheritance he must undergo a series of trials.  As the heir to a family of sorcerers, he must use his gifts and knowledge to succeed, but he is warned by many that the prize he seeks isn't all he makes it out to be.

Robin Barnett is still recovering from the disappearance of his father and the death of his mother and sister. Things are tense between him and his guardian, and he can't help but be convinced there is a ghost following him around, despite the fact no one seems to believe him. Well, almost no one. 

Three seemingly unrelated people leading different lives, who will all be brought together by one unseen danger. A danger that will shed light on a side of the world most are never aware of.

Ghosts and ethereal apparitions became her companions, while the looming specter of death itself held an unyielding presence in her life.

And then, the inexplicable occurred - her own figure materialized within the confines of her ominous predictions. Confronted with the realization of her impending doom, Anleane's fight for survival intensified, a desperate attempt to defy the very destiny she once foretold. Amidst the relentless shadows of her cursed ability, Anleane grapples with a question that consumes her every thought: Can she, against all odds, outwit the clutches of the inescapable, or will she become yet another victim to the merciless hands of fate?

Shadow Marked by Ruzk1997

In the shadowed depths of an ancient underworld, Sarah-a fiery, snarky orphan with a dangerous secret-stands at the crossroads of destiny. Born of forbidden union, she is a rare half-demon, half-witch, possessing powers that defy tradition and prophecy. Raised by the gruff yet caring demon mentor Hadran, and secretly guided by the eccentric witch Darius, Sarah learns to harness both her demonic fire and her witchcraft, mastering skills like teleportation, fireballs, levitation, and telekinesis. But as her powers grow, so does the danger. When Aldrek-a ruthless enforcer of the ancient laws-uncovers her hidden training, he deems her an abomination, a living contradiction to the natural order. Bound by a grim prophecy that foretells the downfall of demonkind at the hands of a creature with equal parts light and dark, Aldrek forces a confrontation that shatters loyalties and ignites a battle of epic proportions. Torn between the love of a father figure and the cold decree of duty, Hadran is forced to watch as Sarah unleashes her hybrid fury against those determined to destroy her. With the arrival of the ominous Demon Council and the fate of her very soul hanging in the balance, Sarah's journey spirals into a dramatic cliffhanger-one that will decide whether she becomes the savior or the downfall of two warring worlds. This is set out like a script with extra bits of detail. This is part one of my ongoing series. I have planed 3 season for this part. Please leave comments and feedback 😇
