The Chronicles of Starlyn
Elves are immortal, except death by battle or poison. Yet, despite that fact, Starlyn’s mother is dying, and nobody knows why. Starlyn loves her mother and desperately searches for any way to help her, yet it seems there is little she can do but sit and watch. Even the elven healers and herbalists are stunned and cannot find a way. Other elves turn away from her aid, afraid of a weakness –an illness- in her bloodline, and would rather her mother die than taint the other elves with her weakness. Starlyn’s sister, Arria, refuses to sit and watch as their mother dies and takes more drastic measures to try and save their mother. She dives into the restricted books in the elven library about dark magic. Dark magic has been forbidden for the elves because it is said that even the willpower of an elf cannot prevail against the touch of a dark taint. Arria is no longer concerned of her own welfare and dives heavily into her studies. Strange things begin to happen, and Starlyn ends up learning of her sister’s studies in the dark magic and is forced to confront her. The elven law states that if you begin in the art of forbidden magic that you are forever an outcast from the elven order. Starlyn wishes to reason with her sister that dark magic is not the way. Her love for both her mother and sister leave her torn to either save her mother or her sister, and if at all possible to save them both. However, if she doesn’t make the right choice, it may condemn both of them to death, and leave Starlyn without family, which is the very thing she treasures the most.Complete

Magical Misappropriations
The life of a thief is hard, but glamorous. With enough money, even the lowest-born citizen of the shining jewel of Voughtberg can carve out a comfortable niche, enjoying the silent prestige that comes with it. The watchmen doff their hats at the masters, and after nights of derring-do, they retire to their hidden beds, and beautiful men and women. Or so Roland and Jochim have heard. Unfortunately, they're still stuck doing whatever task is assigned to them by their miserly employer. Whatever pittance they are gifted has to be supplemented by mundane work under the burning sun, shoulder to shoulder with the sweating masses of the city. These, however, are the necessary burdens for the future they desire, burdens that have been shouldered by generations of thieves. Certainly, nothing so capricious that the accidental theft of a simple paintbrush could disturb it... Imagine the surprise when after its discovery, they are pursued by strange men, and stranger monsters, intent on their death, and the brush's retrieval. With only their wits, and the help of a few friends, the pair of thieves are thrown into a struggle to find out the mystery of the strange artifact before they, or the life they cling to, are lost forever.Complete

Lost in Doctor Strange's Universe
"Something is not right here," I muttered to myself as I scanned my surroundings. And here I am between the dark and damp alleyway with not knowing where I was and no sense of direction registered in my brain. I'm used to memorizing my route but this time, it feels odd. "Indeed." someone responded from behind my back. The muscle of my heart pounded more than ever as a stranger just responded to my question. Out of nowhere, in the alleyway. Judging by his tone, he seems surprised. "You don't have to be afraid. Don't you recognise me?" the stranger asked. 'Recognised. Me?' I thought and still standing at my spot without making any movement. Who is this guy? . . . . Me learning the art of magic from the Sorcerer Supreme? That would be awesome!! Not to mention to uncover the mystery about the legendary bird, Pheonix? Count me in. By the way, who is he? I'm Izzah and this is my story. P/S: I do not own Doctor Strange and any of the MCU's characters, just me, Phoenix, Z and other non-existent characters that do not exist in MCU Dr Strange. Annnnndd this is fan fiction.Complete
