Have you ever thought of what it'd be like in a world where people could wield magic in the form of earthly elements? Fire? Lightning? Air? Water? Ice? Etcetera? In this story, it'll explore the aspects of torture and escape from a prison that you could not escape from before. Mystic, our main character, was celebrating her birthday party quietly without much of a crowd or an audience around other than her parents as she didn't really have friends at her age, none who knew about her house at least. Later on, that afternoon, after everything was said and done and the sun was going to start setting, an ancient enemy from decades ago, born thousands of years ago even, shows up at their front doorstep. The father of Mystic tried to fend off and defeat the foe but failed miserably as he had to bear witness to his wife Ace's demise, being killed soon after her with a sword through the stomach, and as the two bleed out and die, Mystic gets knocked out and wakes up in an unfamiliar place, a prison of a torturous cycle and feeling like she has eyes on her wherever she goes in this building she's forced to be kept in. How will she survive? Will she make it long enough to break out or will she break down and end her own life with a makeshift knife? It's a never-ending journey for survival and climbing out of the gates of hell, and it's up to Mystic as to whether or not she survives.

The Elementals : The Dawn of Darkness
Okay, so here's how it all began. Basically, teenagers have been vanishing across the country and no one has the foggiest idea what's going on (myself included). But at the end of the day I've got bigger things to worry about, such as the eternal hell that is the last day of high school and my psychopathic chemistry teacher. I've got enough going on in my life to be worrying about something I can't do anything about. Famous last words Nick. Suddenly I find myself being dragged into a world I apparently belong to and there's a war going on. The light and the dark are scrabbling for control and everything is hanging by a thread. And I'm stuck in the middle of it. So with the help of a few new friends, some new enemies, beasts, monsters and superpowered teenagers, I'm somehow going to navigate this mad new world and hopefully get out on the other side with all my limbs still intact. As I always say, it all goes downhill from chemistry. •1st place Fruit Awards Adventure Category. •1st place Sunshine Awards Fantasy Category. •1st place Book Awards Action •Best Plot Book Awards •Best Main Character Book Awards Incredible cover done by the amazing @bibliophile_cap on Fiverr! *Please be aware that this story does require editing*Complete
World's Collide
(Btw, I am really bad at summary's but here goes nothing!) In a separate dimension, much different then ours, lives a land called Elementia. Elementia is a place where every element of different kinds, live in pure harmony. Each element live in different towns, controlling their majors and helping other dimensions, such as ours, live. They control our winds and our seas. They deliver newborn trees and creatures of the wilderness. And they bring the least bits of purity to all lands in each Dimension and Galaxy. Everything was bliss, cheerful, and active, until Queen Europhia, Queen of all elements combined, announced a strange and dark presence approaching their land. She called the most powerful elementals of Elementia to fight off the darkness that approach their land. Five brave souls will come front and figure out the troubles of what their land might fight. Will they win or will they lose? (How was that? Anyway, in some parts of the story, I will add your own characters if you want. Just so you know, the 5 souls are - Nature and shadows, ice and water, fire and time, moon/darkness and wind, sun/light and lightning, time. I was think of letting in your elementals (oc) to make the story more interesting. If you wanna add your own character in, just private message me and I'll see. But I would appreciate it if you read the 1st chapter to get an idea of what elements your not allowed to use. That's pretty much it... Lol)Complete
Kissing the Devil Goodbye
Do paranormal things, witches and magic exist? There are gifts that are waiting to be discovered. The mythical power is just waiting beyond the deepest darkest tunnel of the unknown. Only the brave learns to test the waters amidst the labyrinth of its knotted mystery. PLEASE, NO PLAGIARISM. (~Created July 6, 2018:Finished August 5, 2018~) Being engrossed in studying his current case detained him from leaving at once until he forgot the time. He never mentioned to Hera that he's going home after two decades. Only his youngest child knows of his trip back home. Whether he believes in curse or not. It's his 45th birthday tomorrow and he must be home to keep his promise to his mother. His family had never forsaken him, he did. He'd been ignoring their summons since he turned his back from them. Perhaps it's time to grant their plea. He closes his office and walks to the elevator. "Good evening, Artemis." The man in a black jacket greets him. Artemis smiles at the stranger. "Do I know you?" The stranger puts his arm around the stunned lawyer. Behind the unknown man's dark glasses are bloodshot eyes ready to scare the wits out of his prey. "Your mother does. She's expecting me to greet you happy birthday." Removing his dark glasses, he stares at his victim to corrupt his eyes. Insurmountable fear assaults Artemis as excruciating pain drills on his eyeballs. A horrible scream slits through the silence of the night when the clock strikes twelve. As the elevator opens, the stranger loosens his grip and the victim falls on the floor. Covering his bleeding eyes, Artemis winces from severe pain. The man whistles away as he walks past the dead body of the security guard in the lobby to the snowy road outside the building. His victim crawls out of the closing elevator. The curse is true. He must get into his car before his sight totally leaves him. He must warn his family. " I must save Athena!"Complete
Elemental: The Luna Legend

I jumped into a pool to discover a world that shouldn't exist outside of a storybook." *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*. A magical secret and a past she couldn't remember. When Kiara turned 18, her whole world turned upside down.

Thank you for everyone who took a chance on it and all the messages I got asking about the updates. Chapter 69 has a bit more backstory on why I stopped writing. But I've decided to continue to at least finish this story. Originally this story was supposed to be a 4 part series, but with how much time has passed I'll just leave it at this. I'm hoping to reach chapter 90 at the end of this book so if you're still here, thank you and I hope you enjoy. I'll be updating once a week, probably on Wednesday or Thursday.

The Shackles That Hold Me Down
Have you ever imagined a world in which you could wield the elements of Lightning, Fire, Water, Ice, or even the elements of the Earth? Well, Mystic was dragged into the lineage and her father fought in the war against this guy named Akuma, a life-long war that started way back in roughly 1000 AD, started over Akuma having his pride be hurt and getting his ass beat time and time again, he was sick of it, so he went into an all-out deathmatch with Viktor Hikari, Mystic's distant ancestor who reshape the Kingdom of Eclipse to be a better democracy than it was with its monarchy status, the King of all Elementalist as he wielded three to four elements at once, including his primary lightning element. The ancient enemy who seemingly hid away after his fight with Mystic's father, Salvador, came knocking at his front door, and unfortunate for Salvador, most of his power was sapped by Mystic on accident due to something his father forgot to tell him about. Every time a StormCaller is born, the previous StormCaller God is sapped of most of his/her power when the baby turns six-years-old, and that the effect would last around two years. So, how will it end for Salvador? What does Akuma want? Is it Salvador's daughter? Vengeance? Bloodshed? His house? The City? Find out as you read more about how Mystic goes through physical and mental pain that no human could survive or live with, how she managed to go through all the struggle yet still manages to smile after going through all of the extreme mental and physical pain for a full seven years.

In the heart of the ancient Amazon, two siblings are bound by a magical legacy and a solemn vow. Sam, the young heir to the Dark Wolf Pack, is his sister's sworn shield. Luna, blessed with the vast, untamed power of the rainforest itself, is his reason for living. But their world is shattered in a single night of betrayal when Sam's body is stolen by his master, the dark magician Lightning, and forced to commit an unspeakable act that destroys their family and leaves Luna for dead. Years later, Luna lives a fractured life in Ireland, hiding her magic and healing her trauma with the help of a found family of fellow shifters-a leopard, a snake, a rabbit, and a mysterious crocodile bodyguard named Luca, who carries a secret connection to her past. Just as she begins to trust and love again, a storm from her past returns. Sam, scarred in body and soul from years of torture and imprisonment, risks everything to escape and clear his name. He must confront his former master in a final, magical duel to prove his innocence to the sister who believes he betrayed her. But just as they reclaim their bond, a more insidious enemy strikes from within: a terminal illness. This is a story of fierce love that defies darkness, of a brother and sister fighting to rewrite a tragic destiny. It's a tale where ancient magic clashes in epic battles, but the most profound war is fought against a fate that threatens to steal their future before it even begins. "Eclipse of the Dark Wolf" is an unforgettable saga of magic, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of family, asking a heartbreaking question: How do you hold on to light when the universe itself seems determined to extinguish it?Complete
The 12 Elementals
Yet again Darkness is hungry for a war to end it all, but Light will always have troops at the ready. One girl. One kingdom. Eleven friends. Four Elements. No biggie. * I'm Melody, hybrid freak, nice to meet you, strange muggle who I know nothing about. I used to be like you, cluelessly ignorant and uninvolved with the outside world. You know, they have a big, yellow ball of gas in the sky. Weird. Anyway my life became something out of a bad Si-Fi movie, and no, Nicolas Cage isn't in it (sadly). There are two forces in the world, Light and Darkness, and when you side with Light, Darkness gets a stick up its ass and wants you to suffer. My friends and I, we roll with Light, you must know where that leads.... I have a kingdom to learn, powers to master, loud friends to keep in line, a boy that I'm messed up over, and above it all, Darkness to show whose boss. Not as easy as you might think, but this is MY story, and I know how it ends. Being a loyal follower of Light shows me the beauty in life and the devastation it can cause. Don't get me wrong, I love Light, but Darkness makes it hard to stay and fight. * Melody is weird. She's childish. She's awkward. And she's got boy issues she needs to work out. Mel will face evil like no other, but can she do it? Will the scales of Light and Darkness finally be tipped? How can one girl make a difference? This is Melody, a corky teenager, and she wants you to read her story. Like now. Enjoy! Highest rank- #69 in Fantasy (Still cant believe it!!)Complete
Emblems
((Originally, Phoenix)) “Leave me alone!” Her form flickered in the dim light. The brothers shared a look. “All right,” one started. “Just let us say something first. We know you have powers; we can sense them on you. We can do this because we have powers too. We call it magic. If you want, we can show you.” “Prove it then.” ~^~^~^~^~ There was a monster inside of her – a dark thing that always tried to claw its way out, ripping her insides to shreds as it went. She found no relief from it, maybe because she had no happy memories to find solace in, nor anyone to find comfort in. And yet, Amber could be the catalyst to setting a series of events that had been prophesied centuries before, into motion, bringing together three more people – the embodiments of the Emblems – to bring magic back to life. But in this underlying world of Adepts, Demons and secrets within secrets, unlocking their potential will be harder than you think. ~^~^~^~^~^ So, this is my 2014 Nanowrimo story, which is basically an attempt to rewrite Phoenix, where it shall go through major changes in plot, characters as well as effects of my new-and-improved writing style. I hope you enjoy it, and please give constructive criticism! {Also, the cover is temporary, till I find someone who can help me with it :P}Complete
