Nothing is greater than the sea.
This supplementary short novel to a bigger expanse of a universe details the short adventure (and eventual premise) to the existence of two characters-Mora and Ancient-as they travel through the small plane of existence known as Tenebris, a world of almost entire ocean with no natural light besides its citizens and its fauna, when a strange coral reef brimming with indescribable colors appears from the shadows. In the very short 10 minutes it takes to read this, the two find strange occurrences, records of life, and a conclusion that was not supposed to end.
Author's Notes:
The novel is very short, it's not very expansive, and it mostly serves as a premise. Tenebris, the world it all takes place in, was meant to be horribly boring and not very eventful naturally. If that's not your cup of tea, I hope I write the next one as such, with a world brimming in darkness, and a void never void in events.

Undersea
This is a story about an under water city called Undersea. It is not a particularly magical place this city, in the way we might expect an under water city to be (with mermaids, talking fish, and so forth) but is instead an everyday sort of place that we might be used to. Except that it is under water. In this story we meet an everyday sort of girl named Sarah, watch her grow, and witness the choices she must make. For in reality this is a story about how certain thoughts and ideas will come to certain conclusions, horrendous as they might be in the end. But here we are getting quite ahead of ourselves. All in good time my friends! Dedications: To Berdella and Maxine (my grandmothers) now passed, and for three yet to be born. Also to Mr. Asimov.Complete

But after their boat crashes and an encounter with some dangerous magic she finds herself in a whole different world, as a mer-creature! She joined an elite group of humans-turned mer creatures called Shadow. Harper learns how to fight Mirage, a group who wishes to unleash monsters on the land and sea, and makes some amazing friends. But it seems there is more under the surface, and things definitely aren't smooth sailing when the gates are unlocked and the monsters are unleashed, because they started a war, and they have to protect the ocean.Complete

A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.

The Purple Eyed Girl
Thousands of centuries ago humans, vampires, and werewolves lived together in harmony, considering one equal to the other. Ruled by a council of three kings, with one from each fullblood race, peace endured for quite some time. All of it was destroyed when many years later the new vampire and werewolf kings both wanted to rule over the kingdom alone. A massive war broke out between the vampires and the werewolves and millions of lives were lost. In a last attempt to stop the war one hundred years later, the land was divided into three kingdoms, the vampires, humans and werewolves. The borders were shut, crossbreeding was forbidden since it created halfbloods and demons and each kingdom was led by the king of their respective race. In secret, however, it was decided that the human king would watch over them all to prevent another war from ever happening again. Since the human kingdom laid inbetween the other two, the humans invented technology to keep all the races at bay and trained the warriors of their army as skilled hunters. As time and generations went by, the kingdoms became more isolated and the common humans forgot that supernatural beings even existed. However, the war had never truly been resolved so the hatred that the vampires and werewolves had for each other endured. When a mysterious murder occurs, chaos breaks out within the kingdoms. A throne must be taken, blood must be shed, a choice must be made and all must be answered by a girl with purple eyes.

The Jellyfish Messenger
What lurks within the abyss? Deep beneath Earth's expansive oceans, there exists a race of people unbeknownst to most humans, who live in an underwater realm all their own- the Seafolk. An ancient evolutionary offshoot of human beings, these mysterious entities dwell in the remote depths of the sea, their forms taking after an array of sea creatures to create a society of waterbound humanoids perfectly adapted to their environment. Loosely structured kingdoms of Seafolk exist throughout the world, and one of these is the domain of Princess Tamayori, the oarfish folk ruler of the Sea of Japan. Set to marry Prince Stellaris of the Antarctic Ocean to unite the two distant kingdoms, the message of her betrothal falls into the hands of Kurage, a jellyfish folk who serves the princess as one of her many loyal messengers. Determined to faithfully serve her beloved master, Kurage embarks on a dangerous journey into the open sea alongside Chrystal, a fellow jellyfish messenger who isn't pleased about her job being assigned to someone else. The two messengers must put aside their differences and work together to survive the perils of the great ocean, realizing that the world is far bigger and more unfathomable than they could have ever imagined. As the treacharous trip continues, they also soon discover that the royals of the Seafolk, including Princess Tamayori, are not as noble as they seem...Complete
Untouched Water
One choice could change everything. Cressa-la went into the water of her own volition to save the dolphin... but what if she stayed ashore? A small change in a series of big events may seem insignificant, but it's the tiny differences that could change the outcome of specific things, such as, say, the end of the world. Can Cressa-la save it this time, not knowing about what lies beneath the water's surface, not knowing of the evil force on her tail, or will the earth crumble at the hands of darkness, everything saturated in green illumination?
