Ashes and Embers
Long before the floating kingdoms were built, the skies belonged to the dragons alone. Humans feared the skies and the creatures that ruled them. But everything changed when dark forces called Velkraths emerged from the earth - twisted echoes of dragons, corrupted by ancient magic and hunger. They began to burn the kingdoms from the skies downward. Desperate to save her people, a girl named Aerin climbed the highest peak to plead with the dragon Esharion. Instead of taking her life, the dragon saw her courage and bound his soul to hers. In that moment, the first dragon-rider bond was forged - a sacred link of minds and hearts. From Aerin and Esharion, the order of dragon riders was born. Dragons bond to their riders from birth, and when the rider comes of age, the dragon seeks them out. Over centuries, the riders defended the floating kingdom of Aerithal, their bond holding back the Velkraith threat. Yet the bond is dangerous-if one dies, the other often cannot survive the loss. Two childhood best friends, Riven, a quiet and loyal dragon rider, and Lyra, a bold and fiercely independent warrior-have trained side-by-side since they were twelve. Bound to their dragons, Virex and Sora, they've fought countless battles and saved each other's lives more times than they can count. But while Lyra sees Riven as her anchor and brother-in-arms, Riven has silently loved her for years. Lyra, however, is infatuated with Xanten, a charming and noble prince from the kingdom to the South called Medana. When an ancient, giant, monstrous dragon awakens, threatening to destroy their kingdom, Riven and Lyra are chosen for a perilous mission. As they venture deeper into enemy lands, Riven struggles with his feelings, caught between wanting Lyra to know the truth and fearing it would ruin everything they've builtComplete
Legend of Aethoria
For centuries, the legend of Aethoria whispered of dragons soaring its skies-creatures of fire, magic, and myth. Most dismissed them as fables... until Rune discovers the impossible: dragons are real. Driven by curiosity, courage, and the promise of rewriting history, she sets out to find these long-lost beings. Her path soon crosses with Zephyr, a skilled and determined ally. Initially cautious of one another, they learn their strengths complement each other as they journey through breathtaking yet perilous landscapes. Ancient ruins whisper secrets of a magical past, while every clue they uncover draws them closer to a truth far greater-and far more dangerous-than they could have imagined. But the deeper they venture, the more they realize that the dragons' return could bring not only renewal but a darkness as old as the world itself. Rival treasure seekers, ancient magic, and hidden dangers test their resolve, their skills, and the fragile bond forming between them. In this sweeping tale of courage, discovery, and the weight of believing, Rune and Zephyr must decide whether to awaken a power beyond their control... or let the legends remain in shadow, forever untold.
An Accord for Development (An Elden Ring Two-Shot)
"Arise now, ye Tarnished. Ye dead, who yet live. The call of long-lost grace speaks to us all!" It was a simple, yet grand purpose to those given a second chance by the Light of Grace. To become Elden Lord and claim the Elden Ring. Many would be emboldened by the flame of that ambition, and many more would perish at the hands of those who wished nothing more than to see the Tarnished dead. Such was the way things were in the Lands Between, shattered and fractured to the point of chaos between its residents. Only a select few would be guided by Grace, however only one would truly be gifted with something incredible. A gift that would render the physical well-being of a soul... unworried in the face of death. Yet the mind of that same individual would only be further damaged from it. So what did it mean to have true immortality? A blessing? Or merely a foul curse in disguise? One Tarnished warrior would grow bitter to it nonetheless, all the while cherishing the one gift he truly had. A friend. One he would do anything to protect, and one he would grow to love in spite of fate itself. This is an Elden Ring Two-Shot story; a Male reader X Melina story.
