Anya Vorian wasn't picky. She'd take any apprenticeship that came her way. She, Lori and Andrew had prepared all winter for the interviews, but when only one offer came with her name on it, she suddenly wasn't so sure that she could do it. 

It was hard work, for one thing. It was dirty. They were respected, certainly, but in the sort of way that one respects a skilled plumber - grateful to have the job done, but glad it isn't your arms elbow deep in dung. In short, runners were odd folk.

Maybe it was time to get fast.

Each possesses a unique ability-dreamwalking, fire wielding, shadow melding, and more-that keeps them alive in a society that rejects them. They find refuge in abandoned places, taking on dangerous jobs to survive while dodging those who seek to control them. Their bond is their only constant, forged in shared struggles and a longing for a place to belong. Together, they face the dangers of a world that fears their power, all while searching for a home that may not exist. But in a life filled with peril and wonder, they find joy in each other and the hope that one day, they'll find where they truly belong. This is the story of the Wanderers-those who dare to be different, those who have something special worth protecting.

Whether imprisoned by corrupt leaders or stranded after a severe storm, this island proves to be a test of strength. * Between the two stories, the past and the present collide and each helps fill in the blanks to the other as they learn more about themselves and their history. Things escalate fast as they learn to live in their new realities, and enemy's from the past find their way back into their lives, returning with the chaos of corruption and misguided ideals. She may have grown between lifetimes, but no matter how hard she tries, some things will always stay the same. * Sometimes in life, you lose everything familiar, only to be forced to change and become someone new. You can mourn the loss of everything you knew, but in the end, it is better to accept and face it as your new reality. Would you choose to lie down in fear of the unknown, or would you choose to Thrive?

ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows by rinaXhazurina

"Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, a dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world, the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to attain freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Mature Contents: gore, violence, and subtle depictions of abuse and substance use.

There is in fact some minor grammar errors and spelling from when I was 14-15. So I'm sorry lmao. Anyways enjoy‼️ The Actress I'm good at making people feel for me. All though I may not be good socially, I can make people fall to their knees if they knew my story and everything I carry within of it. If people were in my mind, they'd cry. The Director I saw her walking in the school hallways, not a care in the world. Acting as if she was the toughest person in the room and knew I had to make her mine. Even if it was just for a minute. I wanted to recruit and let her meet my friends. I know someone whose broken like the back of my hand because quite frankly, aren't we all? The Producer She took my breath away. She was gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, amazing, cute, and overall generous. She was my world. She's in my head 24/7. However, I'm her best friends biggest enemy and she doesn't even know it yet.
