Seraphina by bubbleba

Something is killing them, wings breaking, angels dieing and the kingdom falling into a dark shadow. The one born that started it all is unaware of what is coming right at her. Evil lurks in plain sight and goods trembles. This 5 year old has a lot coming at her. "She fluttered down to the ground, pulled her winds in and rolled up into a ball on the ground. Her eyes filled with water. Slowly a small drop came out at the end of her black eyes. Rolling down onto her cheekbone and upon her pale cheek. Dropping to her jaw and slowly on her chin. It quickly fell off into her lap. She was crouching now, her arms around her knees and knees tucked in. Tears started streaming down on her face. Her nose started to run, dropping down onto her lips and past, moving to her chin and off, just like the tears. Falling every millisecond now. The wind blew her hair into her face, making it stick to the water. Sniffling her nose every now and again, Seraphina couldn’t stop herself. She opened her mouth to scream, to yell so her pain would leave but her voice disappeared. Nothing came out. She blamed herself for everything, she could have stopped them, done something to help, but no, she stood there, frozen. She clenched her fists. She grabbed what she could and threw it. But she couldn’t settle down, her heart was too hurt and her mind only made things worse." ~CHAPTER 9 ARTHOURS NOTE: PLEASE READ PAST THE FIRST TWO PAGES, THEY SUCK, THE REST ARE SO MUCH BETTER, PROMISE. its just hard to start a book with an intresting start, please read on even if its boring XD appreciate it.

"Eternal Guardians: The Cosmic Dance of the Misty Valley" by Brittany716938

In the heart of a secluded, mist-shrouded valley, where ancient trees stand sentinel and the air is thick with secrets, "Whispers in the Mist" unfolds. As the first light of dawn breaks through the dense canopy, it reveals an enchanting world of untamed wilderness and mystery. The protagonist, a curious and determined young woman named Elara, embarks on a journey through this enigmatic realm. Her path winds through towering groves of ancient redwoods, their colossal trunks cloaked in emerald moss, and vines that seem to reach out like ghostly fingers. The forest floor is a carpet of velvety moss, where dew-kissed ferns unfurl their delicate fronds with every cautious step. Amidst the ethereal mist that swirls through the trees, Elara stumbles upon a forgotten, overgrown path leading to a hidden village. As she approaches, the dilapidated cottages emerge from the fog like specters from another era. The village seems abandoned, but the echoes of laughter and the scent of meals once cooked in those kitchens linger in the air, hinting at a vibrant past. Beyond the village, Elara discovers a hidden glen adorned with a profusion of wildflowers in every hue imaginable. It's a place where time seems to stand still, and the songs of unseen birds fill the air with an enchanting melody. At the heart of the glen, a colossal, gnarled oak tree stands sentinel, its roots intertwined with legends and folklore. Throughout "Whispers in the Mist," the natural world is as much a character as the people who inhabit it. The misty valley, with its ancient trees, hidden villages, and meandering river, becomes a realm where secrets are unearthed, destinies entwined, and the boundaries between reality and enchantment blur. Readers will find themselves transported to a place where the line between the ordinary and the extraordinary dissolves, leaving them captivated by the beguiling beauty and profound mysteries of this vividly depicted world.
