Across the ocean Book 1: On the run by Elterio_Delgard

In a world not our own, Nel-Radin, history is also a heavy word, meaning that much happened, much is happening and yet more will happen. This story begins in the year 3'404 according to the Kastosian Calendar, in the small village of Gimvault, with a boy named Mayen who has no idea of what is happening beyond the stage of what he can see and understand. May it be politics with its wars, a strange and ominous creature with its deeply shrouded intents, or a prophecy speaking beyond the immediate promises it gives, a hard lesson is to be learned by Mayen. Faith and hope are the sturdiest walls and roof in the tempest of a life gone out of one's control. **TAKE NOTE** Characters in this book are meant to be in part the product of the culture they live in, meaning they won't hold to today's ideals or defend all the same causes we do. It is also meant to allow in future books some stories on social reforms.

This is Book Two of The Horns of Elfland. (Book One, The Unknown Quest, is available in full here on Wattpad). The Journey has begun. Winter is coming (apologies to Game of Thrones, but it's just that time of the year!) Tragedy strikes in the Elves' first real contact with a servant of the Evil One as they cross the ford of the great river Afn on Mons Dei, leaving Farinka devastated; it takes many months for her to come back out of her shell. The Elves are "adopted" by a wild child and a wolf pup, Kaaia and Kin, who travel with them to the Western Mountains and the Hidden Valley. The Western dragons take the six senior Elves south to recover Miirshekaar's Blade, but Hlammaeth will not let Nemeth keep it until after they reach adulthood; he tells Nemeth that Tarke has a decision to make first. The time in the Hidden Valley brings to light a wholly new side to Farinka.

Royal Republic by Feransela8

A secret dimension called "The Lost World" where magic casters such as wizards, sorcerers and the like fight to bring about the balance that was needed for the actual world to continue existing. The legend says that it was built to destroy and to spread chaos. It was sealed because of unknown circumstances and can only be opened by few people who have elemental keys or people that was gifted with supernatural powers. It was told to every generations that only people with royal blood running through their veins can possess this kind of powers. All powers are divided and distinguished based on their runes that can be seen on the magic circle that appears behind a person's back whenever they unleashes the power. It determines how strong the power is and how long will it last when unleashed. This is a story about a girl who can open the path between the two worlds without even knowing what it really is. She doesn't have a single memory of her past, and she's currently living in the kingdom of Elsiera with her mother whom she doesn't really know. They both live in a world where magic exists, where legends are told, and where mysteries are unsolved.
