Light shines down from the heavens, illuminating the Earth below. But every so often, a beam falls down from above. If you know how, you can catch it. If you don't, you destroy it. And when you collect enough rays of light, you hold the power of the sun, moon, and stars in your hands.
Only one has mastered the art. Only one can capture the precious light, and spin it into ethereal thread. Her name is Celisae.

In order to solidify an alliance for three tribes, Celisae is asked to weave three dresses, one of sunlight, one of moonlight, and one of starlight. There's only one problem - Celisae is not a weaver.

Celisae's life has always been a series of compromises. She spends most of her time with her tribe, yet she blends into the background, as if she weren't present at all. The garments she weaves are far more skillful than the others, though she dare not reveal why. She cares for her exiled mother in secret, teetering between a longing for her mother's approval and shame due to her past. After battling years of prejudice and gossip, Celisae finally seems to be finding a place among her tribe. That is, until a mysterious person discovers her secret and blackmails her into weaving three robes of sunlight, moonlight, and starlight. Celisae must fulfill the demands if she is to have any hope of garnering the life she has always wanted, the life that is almost in reach. But what is the cost of her compliance, both to herself and her tribe? Cover by @Farleykins 3x Featured ~ @Music @StoriesUndiscovered @Action #NaNoWriMo2022

In a world torn between heroes and villains, it can be a dangerous and hostile place. Some take comfort in the Gifted that stand up against those who would use their powers for greed and chaos. While others choose to hide away, fearful of the day when they'll become a superpowered battle's collateral damage. Elaina Hart has a quiet life in the safe embrace of her forest home. She lives off the land, relying on the gifts of the earth to sustain her simple, quiet existence. Amongst the trees, where there is nothing for a villain to gain and no evil for a hero to vanquish, she is safe from the troubles of the more populated urban centers. At least she was until two Gifted rivals take their brawl above her woods. When one of the superpowered combatants is knocked down a little ways from her home, Elaina brings him to the safety of her cabin -- successfully inserting herself into the world of the Gifted, a world she had spent years trying to escape.

Imperfect by AngelTheWildWolf
49 parts Complete
"There are two things that separate us, perfection and imperfection..." What if a tribe was run by perfection? Where failure is no option. That one mistake could end a life. Positions are won by strengths and there are no such things as flaws. Take every mistake, tripping, falling, failing, and erase it all. In this world, there's perfection. Nothing bad ever happens - after all, perfection means flawless. Being perfect is the only way to live and falling short of that expectation is unforgivable. That is Citrus' world. There's no betrayal, no heartache, no mistakes, no sickness, no deaths, and no unnecessary battles that force her to choose sides. All that's waiting for her is the bright sun, shining its golden beams onto her. Home to all perfect cats: the Tribe of Shining Suns. A shining, dark world where the perfect roam. But what happens to those who don't shine? As long as there is a sun, there are always shadows. Citrus has always thought of herself as a proud cat and wrinkles her nose at the sound of Imperfects; cats that suffer and starve in the shadows. Those cats stumble and fail yet try to spread their seeds in fresh soil, lingering around the world like an ongoing sickness. These disgraceful beings continue to rise no matter how much the sun burns them, stirring chaos in her perfect world. Like any infection, she knows her life will be better when the disgusting ticks are out of her fur. All she has to do is slaughter her way through in order to achieve perfection, but fighting this disease may risk her own life and worst of all - imperfection.

Daffodils and Hyacinths (3rd book in the Forgotten Truths series) by ROSEEE___555
28 parts Complete
"One small incident can ruin or change a person's life - Now imagine a storm," Dusty winds spit at Sun'Tribe and her people. Cramped, multiple families are forced to huddle in one of the ruins; the only remaining proof of the original four tribes that used to stand. "Unifying us all is what should make us less insecure about ourselves, but our differences are what makes each one of us unique; special," In Sun'Tribe, everyone is the same. No traditions, no religion, no abilities, no culture, not even the way someone dresses themselves can be different. Dull, brown clothes, with hair cut down and pulled back in a simple manner. Difference is only for their Leader. The supreme ruler who never goes hungry, and lives in a large palace just for herself. It isn't until two lowly commoners take in the last of the outcasts, that their world sees a future of life again. ~*~ Written by the beas-TEAS, (old acc: Echo__IsNoFurry) @ROSE___555 and @Contrastgaze (@Echo_IsNoFurry is a broken acc) You don't have to read the other previous two books of this series to understand this book. "Forgotten Truths" is more of a backstory-based book, for the old tribes and some of the characters, which takes place a little over a decade before "Daffodils and Hyacinths", and the main details to understand this book are in "The Place where Dreams Fade," but if you're new, you should be caught up after reading 'TRIBES AND RULERS' and the Prologue. Updates might be a little irregular depending on our schedule We all hope you choose to give "Daffodils and Hyacinths" a go! (Might be a little gore; warnings on chapters that include it. Suitable for ages 8+)
