Mara Abaiya may be a shapeshifter by birth, but she's never learned to trust the dragon living under her skin. Instead, she's spent most of her adult life mastering a dangerous kind of psychic magic, determined to one day erase her own identity and forever destroy the beast that hides in her blood. But just weeks before her planned self-execution date, Mara finds herself tied up with a group of desperate young adventurers, accidentally trapping herself somewhere between their misplaced fondness of her and her growing feelings for a member of the party. Combined, it's enough to make her question not only her own self-hatred, but also her definition of what it truly means to be a monstrosity.
*Updates will be sporadic, I imagine.
**This story is very rough in my head, so I'll be editing / tweaking chapters as I go along.

Swiftly, I tried to make my way to the Castle but the forest was endless and I was somehow, powerless. So I ran, with everything I had. On reaching the gates of the Castel, all I could see were remains of soldiers and some students. And a lone figure standing amidst all this, back facing towards me. A shiver ran down my spin. The mist had now covered the forest completely and was covering on the Castel. Suddenly the figure vanished, I looked around in an attempt to spot it back but all in vain. Just as I was about to give up, goosebumps ran on the back of my neck. Before I could turn, my hands were pinned to my back in a vice grip. My attempts to free myself stopped when I looked into a pair of red eyes. There was something familiar about them but before I could come to any conclusions, everything around me darkened and I felt myself falling. ---------------------------------------------------------- Arianna, Creation of Fate, is all set to step into her new life; molded for what is to come but when she senses something eerie in the air of Cristalline, the most protected of all the realms, she isn't sure anymore if she really is ready for what the future has in store for her.

Healer of Tigers

It isn't safe here. I know you thought I was gone, but I'm here now. Please if come with me I will explain everything." I looked up at him. He was staring at me with defeat. "Daniel, you vanished...

The Panther Uncaged ✔
^Completed with minor editing^ When Soralyn Walker moves to a new home to escape a stalker that knows just a little bit too much about her life, she never expects to find others with her strange ability to morph into another creature. And the young adult would never expect to find a lion alpha that had the ability to irk her and make her stomach fill with butterflies at the same time. Read along and find out the obstacles Soralyn and her mate have to overcome to find happiness, even if that means enduring a few scars in the end. *I'm really sucky at writing descriptions; sorry. This isn't a story where some shifter meets the alpha and falls madly in love but is just as quick to suspect him of cheating because of some harlot in red whispering in her ear. There's nothing wrong with that sort of story, but I wanted something new. Please take a peek if you think this is something you might enjoy, just to spice it up a notch! Thank you!*Complete

An aasimar divine soul sorcerer (she/her) . A half-orc arcane trickster rogue (they/them) They all start the story as level 3 characters. Here are the first 200 Chapters of the story.
