Three factions oversaw the continent of Jumana. They were the Palace of Anima, Church of Arbor, and Seditio.
The Palace of Anima worshipped Fate. A divine principle by which the order of events has been inevitably predetermined. The proxies of the Palace were the Moirais as they were blessed with precognition, great mana talent, and high affinity with Fate.
The Church of Arbor revere Conscience. A moral principle that inhibits or influences the thoughts or actions of a person. Their advocates were the Fae, children born from the Tree of Truths. An ancient, sentient tree who bore the Fruit of Good and Evil.
The third, Seditio, a clandestine society that was established by the Enlightened One. A peculiar individual who ate the Fruit of Good and Evil and lived to tell the tale. Seditio believed that comradeship was thicker than Fate and that Man should seize their own destines without the help of the Moira.
Athos Dimitte Ferre, heir to the throne of the Palace of Anima. Was blessed with the gift of foresight and talent for mana. On one fateful night, however, he was cast away by a tragedy, and all was slowly taken away from him.
"Why did the Seditio attack us? Why couldn't I see this, did my foresight fail me? Or perhaps, the Church of Arbor interfered?"
A man who fell from grace learns to bare his fangs.

The Chosen Nothing
A girl lives a life so ordinary it borders on invisible, the kind no one looks at twice. She was never meant to be seen, and for the longest time, she wasn't. Until something -- or someone -- found her. After years of enduring struggles, the last thing she expects is to become the target of a man who wants her dead for reasons she cannot begin to understand. Magic isn't supposed to exist, and yet the world gives way without warning, answering to a voice that pulls her into something else entirely. Going out and beyond lies a different world. One where magic is not wonder, but law -- bound by rules that force each individual into unchangeable reality. She arrives already entangled in it. Enroled in an elite academy where power defines worth, Emma is pushed into a system that leaves no space for hesitation and mistakes. Alliances form and every decision carries consequence. She doesn't belong here. That much is obvious. What is not obvious is why everything keeps circling back to her. Emma was and is never meant to be found, and whatever has begun will unravel everything she has tried to keep intact. Author's Note: Hi~ if you enjoy slow-paced stories with longer chapters -- think story-rich, narrative-driven RPGs (e.g., Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact), this is crafted for you. Patience is rewarded, and every moment is meant to deepen the journey. :)
Two Moons
For centuries, the House of Viridelle has borne the gift-and curse-of Sight. Selene Viridelle, the last of her line, carries more than visions in her blood; she carries the weight of an ancient prophecy foretelling that a child would shape the fate of kingdoms. Now, the prophecy seems to be at last coming to pass... and not in the way she hoped. Forced into an arranged marriage to King Zahir of Qamara, Selene faces a gilded cage. The king seeks not love, but power-wishing for his heirs to inherit her magic and bind it forever to his throne. As a week-long celebration leads up to the wedding, whispers of rebellion and water shortages stir unrest among Qamara's people, threatening to spill into the surrounding kingdoms. When Selene's visions turn dark, revealing that staying in Qamara means death, she seizes her chance for escape-falling in with a secretive band investigating the kingdom's water crisis. Among them is a brilliant but guarded engineer, Renric, whose haunted eyes hide royal blood long thought lost... and Darian, his charismatic, ruthless companion whose loyalty conceals dangerous ambition. The two men share a bond forged in war and secrets-but one that fractures under Selene's presence, unraveling into betrayal and hidden rivalries. Every secret revealed brings Selene closer to the truth-and to a love that could rewrite the destiny carved in her blood. But in a land of lies and legacy, even love may not survive the coming storm. ***TRIGGER WARNINGS: Abuse, emotional manipulation, domestic violence, toxic relationships, drug and alcohol use, eating disorders, murder, and light mention of self-harm and suicide ideation.***
My Light In The Darkness.
Prince Tsukasa Tenma had always been very proud to serve his own kingdom. He was adored and admired by his people, and he got the honour to protect them not only as their prince, but as the head of their knights force, he brought light to his kingdom, as if he was a radiant star that could never burn itself out. Presenting himself more as a friend than a higher class, he had made many friends and was grateful for every opportunity that they had given him as their prince, and friend. Prince Rui Kamishiro, on the other hand, was the polar opposite of that of the prince of light. He despised his role as a prince, constantly wanting to run away from his responsibilities to live a life with no restraints. However after an incident that had occured when he had once tried that, Rui drowned himself in the darkness of his own kingdom and began to accept his role as its ruler. He was feared by most of his kingdoms residents, and cared not for in-formalities from those who he did not share an original bond with. Perhaps all they needed was each others presence to balance their qualities? This is a Project Sekai multi-ship fantasy au fan-fiction, focusing around Ruikasa!

The Flower Longed Death
Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story if the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!
