No one, no matter how great, can know their destiny. They cannot glimpse their part in the great story that is about to unfold. Yet for Athena Ashfyre, so many great stories have already passed her by in her immortal lifespan that to greet another will require a miracle. The once-queen of the Eldar has lost much and suffered much. But the past is already written, and the ink is dry. Her life is bound to the young warlock and the young prince, and the future of Albion that remains unknown. The future, and her destiny, remains a shadow of a tale, about to unfold.

Blamed for a lethal disease she did not cause, a reclusive necromancer sets out to cure the sickness and save a town before any more victims perish. *** Draped in a cloak of blood and deemed a wicked monster, Evylyn is an immortal necromancer, feared enough to silence any mention of her name. As the accused source of a deadly disease, paired with her infamy in necromancy, she avoids the town of Ensceas at all costs. But Evylyn's fate is decided by a coin toss, and she's forced to break free from her chains of destiny, nearly paying with her life. She's rewarded by a bounty hunter tracking her down, hungry to give her the sanguinary death she deserves. In her eleventh hour, a fellow demigoddess gives her two things: a second chance, and a way to weasel her way into the hearts of those that despise her. Simply, she must remedy the incurable disease that she allegedly caused, preferably before the entire town of Ensceas falls victim to its sickness. Thankfully, Evylyn's infamy didn't come from thin air, and if there's anyone that can rival death, it's her. -----　❈　----- INCLUDES: ❈ Sapphic demigoddesses ❈ Badass sunshine x soft-hearted grump ❈ Magical, mysterious malady ❈ Cute baby animals FEATURED ON: ❈ @highfantasy Featured High Fantasy Stories, @OpenNovellaContest's Longlist ❈ @Fantasy, @Romance, @highfantasy, @darkfantasy, @mythandlegend, @StoriesUndiscovered 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚: 02/01/2023 𝙀𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚: 4/17/2023 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩: 28k 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙧𝙚𝙨: High Fantasy, Romance, Adventure 𝘾𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧: @Xaprith © 2023 [First Edition]
Whispers of Elysia by Sunkisseddeity
6 parts Ongoing Mature
In the mystical city of Nocturion, where the veil between the ordinary and the magical is thin, Lyra, a 23-year-old elvish girl from the serene lands of Elysia, seeks to master the ancient art of alchemy passed down by her beloved grandfather. Leaving behind her family, she finds herself in this bustling, shadowed province where danger and wonder coexist, and alchemy holds a mysterious allure. Her journey leads her to an alchemy atelier run by Orion, a reserved and enigmatic alchemist. His past is as clouded as his potions, and he carries a gruff demeanor that hides a heart yearning for connection. As Lyra navigates her new life in Nocturion, she faces not only the challenges of mastering her craft but also the complexities of her growing feelings for Orion, whose guarded nature and hidden past continue to draw her in. In a city where the extraordinary and the perilous intertwine, their intertwined fates are as uncertain as the alchemical concoctions they brew together.

(Merlin Fanfiction) An unexpected encounter in the forest introduces Merlin and Arthur to the long-forgotten world of elves that many had thought faded into legend. But just like that - it's over and gone, with only the memories of the fiery elven princess Elia lingering in Merlin's mind. Years later, that past comes back in yet another chance meeting in the woods. This time, both Arthur and Elia take a step of faith, hoping an alliance could bring peace between their worlds. The elves could open up trading opportunities and be a much-needed ally in a time of strife in Albion. Elia sees the alliance - and Merlin's great destiny - as a chance to save her kind in a world that is quickly losing magic. What no one expected was for something more to grow between the now elven queen and the hapless servant, who is in fact a great sorcerer in hiding. But how can they possibly make such a union work with duty and destiny standing in their way? This is the first in a two-part series.
