❝ Those who are heartless once cared too much. ❞

Eret Soren was part of a hunted race, forced into hiding. He didn't have time to waste on daydreams. His whole life he had to work to control his powers, to take care of his mother as his sisters grew up and began to leave home, to learn how to protect himself, to hide and keep his heritage secret. In Eret's life, he struggled to find a sense of belonging in a place where he was caught between two worlds, neither wanting him, one ready to imprison him and the other ready to spit upon him if either knew what he was.

He was a half-blood, a child both magical and human. Yet it's something he never wished to be. He didn't belong among humans, and he didn't belong among the Otherworlders, or really anywhere. Always somewhere in the middle. Since dark magic was created and humans began capturing and harvesting unique magical creatures needed for ingredients, peace was long ago ruined by greed and destruction, war sparked between the Human lands and the land of Diyosa where magic and all sorts of creatures found only in myth thrived.

The gods had given him this life for a reason, his mother would say. Knowing better than to question their judgement, Eret would shrug and bear his birthright. But when he's forced out of hiding, Eret has no choice but to run. Soon enough he finds others all from opposite sides of war with similar problems, and they each reluctantly decide to join  forces after discovering something that could change everything. With some help and a whole lot of luck, their journey could be their only hope of ending the war and restoring peace, and Eret may finally discover what plans the gods truly carved out for him. But what place does he have in a world that wants him dead?

"Once upon a time there was a dragon that only knew one love, a phoenix." She laughs at me again. "The phoenix was kind, full of compassion. She could see the corruption in the world knowing that eventually the dark would consume the light. The dragon was her natural opposite, ferocious and vengeful. She was his light, but the world needed her. A chief came to the phoenix worried his people would be killed by the evil in people's hearts. He begged the phoenix for help, but because of her innocents in being a phoenix she could not help in her current form without being corrupt herself. So, she did the unthinkable. She abandoned her only love to bond with the chief's unborn daughter. Giving the village a change to preserve goodness, for not just themselves but for the rest of eternity. But the phoenix would not be strong until the human that possesses it was. The phoenix was killed before reaching her full potential, but the phoenix was born again. A man that had fallen in love with the girl sought out the phoenix's lost love knowing he was the only one on the earth that could morn the innocence the world had lost. The beast grew fond of the man and struck a bargain that if the man would accept the dragon, the dragon would infuse himself with man giving him the power to save the phoenix. The man being human would eventually grow old and perish, so the man agreed that not just him but the bloodlines to follow would become vessels for the dragon to preserve itself eternally to save that which he loves. The bloodlines were separated through the ages leaving the phoenix helpless and the dragon bitter. Then one day, a green haired city kid that was yet to find his dragon found his phoenix in English class and stole her first kiss."

Welcome to Peramis, a world filled to the brim with magical wonders. Yet, the majority of humans live their lives in complete ignorance of the so called mythical creatures around them. While the dominant species still forged on, causing catastrophic harm to the magical world that they barely even know about, carrying on with their technological advances, as the gods that they had once prayed to gradually faded into the background of their cultures. Just before the devastating Third Angel Demon War between Heaven and Hell, the goddess Herno was banished from the realm of the gods for her crimes. But little did the rest of the gods know, the vengeful goddess has something planned, a grand plan to bring humanity to its knees. However, fate has other plans, as it brings five unlikely heroes into play. In a world where myths come true, where legends come alive, the five's paths changed forever when their worlds collided at one fateful night, that they learnt that if the banished goddess isn't stopped, she will unleash chaos upon this very precious world they all lived in. Unwilling to let that happen with their respective reasons, they will have to unite and embark on a magical and dangerous journey, all just to stop the goddess' plans and save a world that they've only started to truly discover. But little did they know, it would change everything, and their destinies are even more tightly woven together than they could ever imagine. However, if they choose to act, the majority of humans will learn of the existence of mythical creatures, a secret well kept by the gods, and this could shatter the barrier between humankind and other creatures of the land of Peramis...forever. What they do know though, is that Herno is not going down without a fight, and it's not going to be easy for any of them.

[INCOMPLETE] Rowan is a creature of great misunderstanding. In a world full of Mythical beings, his kind, the Anadin, are heavily hated by the whole world, and very endangered. Though, it's become clear that everyone would be thrilled to have these creatures wiped from existence. Why they're hated has become a messy entanglement of false information and tall-tales. Still, the hatred has never faltered in any living creature. Rising from a childhood of blood and tears, 17 year old Rowan has grown used to seeing misery and distress around him-- in fact, inflicting it is one of his favorite past times. When Rowan crosses paths with a 19 year old human named Evelyn Fontaine, Things start to become... interesting; Undoubtedly in more ways than one. Besides Evelyn training to become a police officer like her mother(which would badly clash with his unlawful, and frankly highly questionable hobbies,) Rowan gets a taste of the harsh reality of just how much the world hates Anadins. When the pair come across a strange woman who's seemingly entire life's purpose is to wipe any non-human off the face of the earth, their lives are shoved onto a completely different course. Just how nasty will the trials they face ahead of them be? Young Evelyn's life seemed to be going in the right direction- Already, she had a smooth path laid in front of her. When both of their lives (one still on the hard path to self-discovery) get tossed off-course by the currents of fate, they'll have to enter a new battle; one of injustice, transformation, misunderstanding, and even romance. What will happen to Rowan if not only his identity is revealed, but his secrets as well? What happens when Rowan finally understands why everyone is so terribly afraid of his kind? Is he forever meant to be the dishonest and mischevious boy he's been disguised as? Or was Rowan destined to follow a much darker path? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cover by ElliTLG
