As Clara delves deeper into her past, she discovers a dark prophecy that intertwines her fate with the very fabric of Eldrid. With every revelation, her scarlet aura grows stronger, but so does the danger that surrounds her. As she unravels the mysteries of her lineage, Clara must confront powerful forces that seek to control her destiny. In a world where trust is fleeting and allies are scarce, Clara learns that the key to unlocking her powers lies not just in her bloodline but in the strength of her heart.

Fatal Bonds by ayiannabarnes

Hopelessly, a young boy wanders through the desolate streets of Eldorium's slums, belonging to nowhere but the dust. He has no recollection of anything - only that he finds himself drawing closer to the preeminent palace each day. Eldorium is a kingdom of conquered riches, clashing steel and an irrefutable rank of who is ontop and who is below the pyramid. The sand has seen an overflowing amount of bloodshed over all the years this formidable empire has stood. It all means nothing to him, until he stumbles upon a boy cornered into an alley of the gilded markets. One thing he discovers about himself is his ability to fight, which lands him on his knees before the throne, where the boy he aided turns out to be the prince. The prince pleads for mercy upon his new friend, for a commoner mingling with a royalty is forbidden, especially a commoner with no records of existence - ever. The king grants him training to become the prince's personal assassin; a deadly shadow for a powerful sun. They face the world together. Everyday is spent sweating blood or drawing it from the battles they dive into sword-first, falling even the most impenetrable kingdoms side by side. However, not even the desert can bury the dark secrets of Eldorium, nor can it whisper warnings of the daunting times to come. And the Gods... well, they see everything. And their rage grows, with Eldorium at the center of it.

Blood Father: Volume 1; The Dark Chalice by AlesterPhairoh

In a world where the boundaries between light and darkness are blurred, Sariel Drakus, a demon elf of the Upper Nether, embarks on a harrowing journey that will change the fate of realms. Once an ordinary warrior, Sariel's life is shattered when he is drawn into the Void, a place of ancient and malevolent power. Stripped of his mortality and reshaped by the Void's dark energy, Sariel is thrust into a perilous struggle against forces far beyond his comprehension. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of the Void, Sariel must confront not only the monstrous beings that dwell within but also the darkness that now festers in his own soul. Guided by the enigmatic dragon Sheol, Sariel's quest for power and vengeance soon transforms into a battle for survival, as he navigates a world where every choice could lead to his destruction-or his ascension. Yet even as Sariel amasses power, he is haunted by visions of his past, the family he lost, and the future that awaits him should he succumb fully to the darkness. His transformation into something far more sinister seems inevitable, but within him burns a flicker of hope-a remnant of the man he once was, fighting to reclaim his soul. In a tale of redemption, betrayal, and the eternal struggle between good and evil, Sariel Drakus must decide whether to embrace the monstrous power that courses through his veins or to resist the lure of the Void and find a path back to the light. But in a world where nothing is as it seems, and the gods themselves play a deadly game, Sariel's choices will ripple across the fabric of reality, forever altering the fate of the realms. "The Dark Chalice" is the first chapter in the epic saga of Sariel Drakus-a story of dark fantasy where the line between hero and villain is blurred, and the price of power may be the soul itself.
