"Malice of the underworld shall rise;
After millennia of deep slumber, 
This time until the entire realm dies
Down to its last element of freedom plunder'd.

He will not settle until his annihilation spreads,
Far and wide to the horizons of the realm, 
Pending the extinction of all life forms;
Not a strand of grass shall survive this genocide.

....
....
....

Mine grandeur blunder of conception,
Was that fabrication and annihilation;
Were somehow athwarts. At the smallest
level of origins, we are all one.

Wield them both, and you are an immortal.
If not this time, then another. . ."

~ 5th Aaraliz: Malice

Such was the prophecy that the queen of Immortalia had penned down for the future generations; to warn them of what was coming. A young sword, Dyren Justenforth along with his twin sister Laticia Lionheart finds their way of understanding nature better to become master magic wielders and to ultimately prevent the impending disaster.

W.E.L.F.S: The Snake's Eye (COMPLETED) by Naumaan333

"I saw you and you were just standing there. I started walking towards you and you-just-just stood there." Stuttered Stiles. "I tapped on your shoulder and you turned around. You didn't answer me. You didn't even notice I was there. You just stared at something, something that wasn't visible and y-you-" Paused Stiles, whose legs were vibrating and he started to breathe heavily. "And I what?" I asked trying to get the words out. "You died." He stated. "What?" Asked I, like he had just said the most craziest thing ever. It was slightly humorous. He had to be joking, I thought to myself. "You- just died." Murmured Stiles, who had stopped shaking and had stood up. -------------- The world consists of many parallel multiverses. Each separate and unique. We all know Earth 1, yet not many people are familiar to the lost planet, Earth 1000. The planet was Imperium; Declared the most powerful, biggest rogue planet of the multiverse- many people sought out to rule it. Therefore a war was sparked. Some people say, that the planet birthed death because of the deadly war. However, something else was birthed, an heir. Her name was Milia. She possessed true power and ultimately ended the war. Milia ruled the world and her children became the inevitable successors. Although they lacked Milia's gift, the future generation, though it was thousand's of years later contained Milia's powers. The children were named the true heir, therefore they were hunted. No hunter was more well known than the bitch, the baddest; Methaya. Being half human, half snake, her luminescent eyes turned the living into the inanimate. To save her children, the Queen of the planet rifted her children into Earth, where they lived for 500 years, unaware of their cursed destiny. After a prophecy declaring that the oldest would die, the truth started unravelling and they learnt things- that would change things forever.

Masks of Fear and Shadow by EivorTaika

"Between the Jaws of Fate, a spark shall ignite, born of shadow and flame, a breath against the void. Its cry will shatter the silence, a sound the gods will fear, and its steps will weave the end of all that was known. When the rivers run black and the skies open their veins, chains unseen will crumble, and what sleeps shall wake. In its veins, the threads of creation unravel, and in its shadow, the world will bow or break. Beware the herald of dusk and dawn, for its will is neither mercy nor malice, but the breaking of the wheel, and the scream of what lies beyond." Eowyn Aeloria, heir to the gods' throne in Ebonmere, has spent her life under her mother, Queen Vespera's, tyrannical rule and harsh consequences. When she has a run in with Cylas, a brooding blacksmith hiding from the shadows of his own bloodline, they discover a connection that defies the boundaries between their warring worlds- and Queen Vespera forbidding their entanglement, along with a life-changing revelation, sparks a dangerous rebellion neither of them can resist. Cylas, once a ruthless general for the Sylvaneth kingdom of Noctyra, seeks refuge from a violent past-and from his mother, Queen Elira, who has made it her life's work to eradicate Eowyn's kind from existence through any means necessary. But meeting Eowyn awakens both his heart and a power that he can no longer keep hidden. As Eowyn and Cylas battle to keep their bond secret, whispers of an ancient power and prophecy awaken, placing them in the center of a conflict that could either save their world or destroy it. Now, with the future of the people of each of their kingdoms hanging in the balance, Eowyn and Cylas must decide if they should follow the path that is already written, or to feed the Jaws of Fate. ***There may be edits and changes until the entirety of the book is completed; so I apologize in advance for that***
