"Save the world, and join the fight, or else the entire world will die tonight. Take up arms, protect your neck, or else it'll be you who is another body in the wreck." - - All that the five friends wanted to do was explore their old school in the dead of night, avoid being arrested if they were found, and find any and all secrets possible. That does not all go to plan however, for two of them find a mysterious, glowing orb in the girls bathroom that turns out to be a portal. Now, they are all thrown into this mess, with new names and their true identities coming forth, along with their secrets. An enemy is lurking in the darkness, shadowing themselves with other villainous characters the five meet along their way. They all must learn to trust each other, learn to accept loss, discover the truth behind established relationships, and Mae must gather to courage to fight a secret enemy that has been inside of her for 14 years. - - - Publishing began June 20th Cover art was wonderfully made by @ sevrot on Instagram I do not claim certain worlds, backstories, or characters featured in this novel!

The Green Witch by IanReeve216

The Green Witches were once admired and respected members of the community. They were a bridge between the human world and the world of nature until King Roderick tried to enlist them in his war with the neighbouring kingdom of Berkanol. When they refused the King, fearing they would use their powers against him, declared them to be enemies of the Kingdom and ordered them arrested and killed. Today, the few that remain survive by hiding, forever fearing discovery. Sixteen year old Tala Viddyr is one of those survivors. She lives alone in a cottage in the forest after her father walked out and her mother died of the fever. A young woman living alone will be sure to attract the attention of the witchhunters, though. To hide she has to appear normal, which means she has to marry someone and play the role of wife and mother. She chooses Seventeen year old Dougal Tanner, a boy she likes and who has tried to court her a number of times but for whom she has no real feelings. She hopes that love will come later, but beginning a relationship with him means she has to make a difficult choice. Should she try to hide the truth from him her entire life, or tell him what she is and take the risk that he will betray her to the witchhunters?

When Bryony -- herbalist extraordinaire -- goes missing, Bella knows one suspect stands above the rest. The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover. Prompt #81: The town's witch has gone missing and no one is looking for her but her two familiars - a crow and a black cat, plus the teen who has always been scared of her. ❖❖❖ Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.
