Complete, First published Jun 30, 2014
On a war decimated earth, there are few safe places, and even fewer safe cities. All that's left are ruins, woods, and cities where humans are trying to build society again. No one knows the truth behind the war, but it is believed the ​Strongs began it. And so, to stop it from happening again, they are killed.

Most humans now have an affinity of varying strength for one of the elements: fire, earth, water, air, and rarely ​mind. There are some who have a Strong affinity. The ​Strongs are able to manipulate the elements - and are killed for it.

Fighters are born without an affinity and trained from a young age to kill the ​Strongs. Their gift of being unaffected by the Strongs' power make them ideal assassins.

Makenna ​is a Strong Fire. ​She and her best friend Halima, a medium mind,​ have been on the run from Makenna's mother for the past two years.

Drystan Aston, a Fighter, and a childhood friend of Makenna's, is dead set on finding them.

As Makenna and Halima run for their lives, and Drystan chases after them, all three will uncover startling truths about the world they live in.

Will they discover the whole truth in time to stop the disaster? Will Drystan finally complete the quest he has been dead set on for the last two years? Or will Rhona, his Strong mind grandmother, be proven​ right?

The Story of Midnight by Silverwynd
51 parts Complete
"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?

This story tackles dysfunctional and family issues, stained relationships, mental health, diversity, friendship, found family ****************************** In the populated diverse city of Starvale, five unlikely misfits-outcasts, loners, and troublemakers-find their lives forever changed by a freak accident. During a school field trip to National History Museum, the group- Pry'os, Dazz'ak, Ziv'ara, Raq'ora, and Lun'zel (all from different cultures and family backgrounds) stumbles upon a magic crystal. Curiosity and recklessness get the better of them, and as they mess around with the strange object, it cracks open, releasing a powerful energy surge that knocks them unconscious. When they wake up, everything seems normal-until bizarre things start happening. Unbeknownst to them, the ancient relic has gifted each of them extraordinary powers tied to the elements: **Light Manipulation, Lighting Manipulation, Neon Manipulation, and Water Manipulation, Moon Manipulation**. Confused and overwhelmed, these teens, who barely knew each other before, must now figure out not only what happened to them, but why. Thrown together by fate, they quickly realize that their newfound powers are only the beginning. Dark forces are stirring and the teens find themselves at the center of a looming conflict far beyond anything they imagined. But before they can face the dangers ahead, they must first learn to trust each other, put aside their differences, navigate their clashing personalities, and forge a bond strong enough to handle the challenges that lie ahead. Their journey as Guardians is just beginning, and the fate of the world-and their lives-rests in their hands. Start: 2025 End: 2025

"He likes your curves. Rightfully claims you as his... in his mind." Asher now speaks staring at the golden boy. I carefully peek through my lashes to find him still looking at me. "Are you jealous?" I dare to ask. He sits back at the wall staring at me. He runs his eyes down my body and slowly smirks. "Yes," "Good," I say digging my fork into the pasta. I then place the pasta into the carrots... Playing with my food. I have been scolded for this many times when I was back in the Ordinary world. Now there is no one to do that for me. Asher comes closer to me and I could sense the burnt wood in him. I smile as he wraps his arms around me. "Your mine. Only I can look at you that way. Only I can touch you. Only I can kiss you. Understand?" He asks me. I nod. He places a kiss on my lips and a kiss on my collarbone. "Good," I peek at my lashes again to find golden boy looking elsewhere. Coward. *** There are special people in the world. They call them elements. They don't have super powers there just... Special. They have something no ordinary human have. Yet, they don't know it until they reach the age of eighteen. Their birth are special. All corresponding to nature and it's element. Many are rare some are common. But not everyone is an element. Some are Ordinary. But there are some elements that are not meant to mix. Fire and water. The only elements that won't go. But when Asher and Sky meet it is a new challenge. Sky try's her best to avoid Asher. But what happens when Asher crosses her line? What happens when Skylar's secret leaks through the entire Elemental world. Will Asher be able to save her? Or was it Ashers fault in the first place? --- Not edited so be warned c: Copyright © 2015 |All rights reserved|

"So you think I have the power of the Earth Element?" I ask her. "We don't think. . . We believe." She smiles and gently caresses my cheek.

You are a Naturalistic." ******************** In this Empire of Elements, everyone possesses the power of a particular element, but they say I have the power of all seven Elements of Nature, that I am the Daughter of The Seven Gods.
