In the heart of Elmyra, the Twilight Forest teeters on the brink of destruction. An ancient and magical tree, the World Tree, awakens five unlikely heroes-strangers from different corners of the realm. Emma, a fierce yet insecure werewolf with extraordinary mental abilities, Ryu, a young half-dragon, half-human warrior torn between two worlds, Lilly, a nature elf with the power to control plants and speak to animals, Damagnus, a cursed mage with a dark burden, and Amelia, a mysterious ice fairy who can wield the cold and shrink at will, are all drawn to the tree by its urgent call. Together, they must stop Lavalia, an evil eladrin who seeks to conquer the Twilight Forest and extend her dominion over the entire world. Lavalia's power is immense, her grip tightening as her influence spreads corruption through the once-vibrant forest. As the group struggles to unite, they must also uncover their hidden pasts and the secrets that bind them together. In a race against time, the five must forge an unbreakable bond, harness their unique abilities, and face their deepest fears to protect the forest from Lavalia's dark reign. But as the lines between friend and foe blur, and the forest itself begins to wither, they realize that the greatest challenge may be trusting each other-and themselves.

If she slept for so long, it can only mean one thing: someone murdered her back on that boat, and now she needs to find out who and why. *** ONC entry based on prompt #2: "One night you woke from the dead. For you, you were gone mere seconds, for the world you were gone almost a century. How will you navigate this new world?"Complete

Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete
