Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite)
In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.Complete

[the krills might scare you though, haha!!] Skesis is going on a trip to find the elder spirits that could stop the harvesters, a group of corrupted avatars that were taking skykids to feed them to the insane Dark dragons when they grew old enough. These corrupt avatars could do much damage, could speak to the insane dragons that roamed the eye of Eden, and were growing stronger by the day. The elders had no idea. If the insane Dark Dragons managed to devour enough skykids, they would soon be able to have enough strength to force their way into other realms, and make them as barren as the sorry lands they came from. Taking down the harvesters was what his father, Orchari, was trying to achieve, since he was once a skykid that was trapped in the horrid lands of the lands in which he was held captive in. But first, he wanted to get stronger. This was a quest he had worked long to achieve, but the realm of death and power, known as the Eye of Eden, ultimately ended his life before he could. It was up to Skesis to finish his late father's job. He was going to find the elders. He was going to save them all. But the harvesters were closer to him than he realized. He was closer to unlocking secrets that would throw his organized world into chaos. He was closer to everything. Now he must rethink the choices he was going to be forced to make. What would he choose: love or lives?Complete

Echoes of Azeroth
In the heart of Azeroth, where ancient magics weave through verdant forests, icy tundras, and fiery wastelands, an uneasy peace hangs between the Alliance and the Horde. But as whispers of a dark prophecy spread, a new threat begins to stir-a force not bound by faction or allegiance, lurking in the unseen corners of the world. The story follows a diverse party of heroes, each hailing from different factions and regions of Azeroth. Lyara, a night elf druid haunted by dreams of a dying world, joins forces with Aedric, a human paladin loyal to the Alliance, and Tharok, an orc shaman with a troubled past. They are later joined by Zyrra, a cunning blood elf rogue seeking revenge, and Rhogar, a stoic draenei priest guided by the Light. Bound by an ancient prophecy, the unlikely group must put aside their deep-seated enmity and mistrust to unravel the mystery behind the Shadows of the Beyond-a cult of dark magic-users who seek to unearth forbidden powers buried beneath Azeroth. As they travel across the lands, from the whispering forests of Ashenvale to the forsaken halls of Karazhan, they uncover secrets that shake the foundations of everything they know about Azeroth's history. But as the echoes of an ancient evil grow louder, the heroes will be forced to confront not only the enemy that threatens their world but also the darkness within themselves. Can they break the cycle of war and hatred before the shadows consume Azeroth, or will their differences tear them apart, dooming the world they love?Complete
