"Hope, children, and never once let in. For it is written that a single candle can withstand the darkness, even now, in our most desperate hour."

"Though the end days have come at last, and the sun falls for the last time beyond the dim horizon, we must still have hope, being that the unlikeliest of heroes and the greatest and most difficult of adventures can emerge from the darkest of days."

~*~ 

The gods are silent, and the people's desperate prayers of healing and aid go mysteriously unanswered. Rumors and talk of monstrous, horrific dragons killing anything in sight are whispered in taverns and pubs, with the added murmurs of draconic creatures that stand on two feet like a man followed close behind. 

When the elven capital of Lyrenbel is destroyed and half its population slaughtered, a chain of events suddenly brings together a disgraced knight, an old dwarf, a mage that hides his insecurities behind a mask of arrogance, a traumatized Sylvari and an orphaned Sylvanaar, and sets them forth on a path that none of them ever wanted to be on.

They are expected to be saviors, heroes that come from a child's bedtime story.

But they are not fighting against a normal dragon, or other mythical creature. 

They are fighting against an all powerful god.

They carry the weight of the world on their shoulders as they begin walking down their long and winding road, yet they will fight until the very end, despite the tension that grows between them with each passing day. Their chances of success are slim, and if they do succeed, they will not return as the same person. 

If they return at all.

You handled it like a champ. What you are is a strong, brave being that has stood by my side." I breathe as he leans closer. "What you are, is the love of my life...."

Nightwalker by Social_Introvert

Time didn't matter to her. She got up when the sun did and tried to sleep when the sun went down. because of this seemingly endlessness, she's forgotten her name, she's forgotten her family and she's forgotten everything she use to be. Now she was nothing. Living on the streets of a town begging for money and food from travellers that didn't know who she was, unlike the rest of the town that thought of her as something unnatural even though she doesn't know why. Constantly abused by the townspeople who don't understand her, she is left to die in an alleyway after a horrible run in with three drunk men. She was expecting to die and have her corpse eaten by rats and other vermin. What she didn't expect was to be saved by a woman that was everything but human. "Do you want to live?" This woman asked and when she looked into herself she knew the answer, it came easy through her busted lips. "Yes." From that day on she became something else, something not human, something extraordinary and from that day forth she will serve this woman who saved her life and maybe one day remember her name or be given one by her new Mistress. Maybe one day she'll remember who she was and maybe she'll even find the one person that completes her soul. From that day forth she became a Nightwalker. Completed. This is a lesbian story and contains mature actions between females. There will be warnings at the beginning of the chapter if you do not wish to read such content.

Until, that is, a surprise attack by a massive army of trolls lays waste to their kingdom and their way of life. The kings of each group are killed and the women and children of Korux are lucky to escape with their lives.

Through their skills in battle they quickly eliminate the troll king and his partner, the goblin king and decimate their troups. They resettle their own kingdom and enjoy returning to normal lives. But their troubles are not over yet. The Dark Lord has returned after many years of silence and is amassing his armies--tens of thousands of soulless skeletons and their giant counterparts and "masters of death," the Grimes. Expect twists and turns as you venture into the land of Volinrath. The heroes must stand up for one another no matter what--there are enemies in hot pursuit every step of the way. **I published this in story in 2015 but ended up taking it off the market due to a single review-the ONLY review on it in fact, which compared it a poorly written screenplay. My initial plan was to take it down and rewrite it then put it back up but due to growing self-doubt brought on from that comment I decided to abandon the tale and rework it into the another series I'm working on! I will however, put it on here for all to read.**

Underground Revolution by LeeannJohnston137

In a world of breathtaking beauty, where humans and elves coexisted, a fantasy revolution was sparked by humanity's lust for power. The elves, being the first inhabitants of the planet, had developed a deep understanding of life and peace, earning them the trust of the great dragons, which granted them elemental powers. Which the elves returned their gratitude by treating their beloved creatures as the God's they were. As humans evolved at a rapid pace, they began to encroach on elven territories, leading to the creation of canyons and mountains to separate the two races. Despite this, a forbidden love blossomed between a human and an elf, but it was short-lived due to their differing lifespans. However, their friendship endured, and the earth elves built a bridge and paths to facilitate harmony between the two races. Over time, the elves shared their magical knowledge with humans, but humanity's selfish desires led them to destroy the elven race and their city of Amma. Despite the odds, a small group of elves continued to live secretly among humans, awaiting the day when they could rise again.

A PROMISE OF TOGETHERNESS by amazehoney

Some people write for fun, and some do it because it bring fortune to them and their are some who do it because they don't know how to express their thoughts so they spill it in pages. I belong to the last category. Hi everyone this is honey and this is my first book. It's a complicated love story where two people fall in love with each other and at last because of a misunderstanding they went apart. This story has everything involved, it will make you laugh, cry and remind you of someone special. It is a story of small town girl named Jennie whose only dream was to make her family proud of her. Jennie is a daughter of the small business owner MR. ANDREW STEWART and his wife MARTHA. She got facial expression like her dad (fair complexion, black hair, brown eyes) but her height was just 5.2, and she is very much close to his brother graham. But as she was having a small height and a baby face, people usually mistaken her as a college student perhaps she was working in a well-known organization in LA itself. This story is a story of Jennie and Harry, who became friends then best friends and again stranger. So is this the end of their story or god has some different plan. Both Harry and Jennie were poles apart, if Harry says left Jennie goes to right, he was tall with the height of 6 ft. and Jennie was short, he was more of a practical kind of guy and she was very emotional, he loves to drink and smoke and she has never touch it, he got angry on small things but she don't, but with the time they became inseparable. So what made them to hate each other? Join their life journey and revive your own love story. Ignore the grammatical mistake and enjoy the story. Give your valuable comments and support.

"Elves of the Northern Vale" A Tundrawolf Story by TRWright1

As happened many times in the past the Fell Ice once again charged down from the north and attacked the world in its effort to turn it into a frozen ball of ice. Only the White Magic and it's ally the Sun could stand against such a vast enemy. From their home in the Valley of the Sun the great tribe of Elves could only watch as the monumental fight unfolded. As the battle intensified and the valley became threatened the tribe separated back into their four original tribes and each made their way back to their ancestral homes. Within their Vales, behind thick stone walls and under powerful domes of magic, they were protected from the onslaught upon the earth. The Elves watched for thousands upon thousands of turns as the war raged overhead. The Fell Ice against the Sun and the White Magic were locked in a struggle lasting for an age, with neither side claiming victory as the earth was ravaged. In time the Fell Ice retreated, as it had so many times in the past. Beaten, yet not defeated, only biding it's time for the next attack. It returned to its frozen Kingdom at the Top of the World, thus ending this last Age of Ice. This time, as the earth warmed around them, the Elves remained secluded from the world in their hidden Vales. They observed from afar life returning to the lands and took stock of man becoming the dominant ones as their numbers grew and spread. As the Elves watched they felt safe and secure in their Vale strongholds. They had no idea of the danger that was about to befall them. This is a stand-alone sequel to my story "Druids Bane".

Curse of the Stars Book 1 by AprilCalderwood

"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?
