On the planet of Natsuna, people are placed in one of four castes. Each caste is dictated by each person's ability to connect with nature. From these connections they can utilize orbs called "Nature's Bounties". Each orb gives the person one of two abilities depending on their connection. First caste is the Protectors. Those who serve to preserve the law and can connect with silver bounties that control the gravitational field around them. The second being Nurturers, those sworn to keep peace between the citizens and nature. They have the ability to control the four elements with a clear bounty. The third caste most common on the planet being citizens. People who are unable to connect to bounties.
Then the last being Guardian, a person who has the deepest connection to the planet through the bounty. Liebe, found to be the new Guardian, is placed in the role of finding what is best for their society. Will those of Natsuana find ruin, or will they strike hot at the balance needed to forge onward? Time to reach deep and keep grounded for what lies ahead.

World Circuits
A whole world full of energy gives people powers. Powers called "Circuit Arts", give people different abilities. With unlimited possibilities, some range from turning invisible, to shredding people in an instant by looking at them. This world isn't inhabited only by people though, there are multiple races, and monsters of extreme power called "Blights". The oldest ones alive, look just like people, fitting in while massacring those who oppose them. The story begins as Riley, Lux, Val, and Esme try to kill the Blight organization called "The Children of God" and their journey towards their goal. - - This story is being made by three people, Night, Wolf, and AnonymousMood48. This is the first time we are doing this so the quality may not be top tier. Chapters will switch between the three of us so chapter one is AnonymousMood48, chapter two is myself - Night, and third is Wolf. We'll try to keep the order as much as possible. Thanks for reading! (Unless you click away..). - - (Cover Art was made by myself using other peoples pictures, so technically not mine, credit goes to the people who made the pictures of the galaxy background and the earth photo.) - - (Discontinued)Complete
Liminal Hollow
The worlds we inhabit are known to us. Their form and function familiar enough that even when the unusual happens, it doesn't go beyond our beliefs. Yet not every world is equal in that regard. Some embrace the supernatural that others spurned. Scientific advancements come at different rates, and what one world considers normal is unlikely to be the same on others. Yet when the boundaries between worlds begin to weaken, the denizens of those worlds will find themselves inexplicably drawn into a battle they could never have imagined, struggling alongside those not even their wildest dreams could have conjured. Their lives separate, yet inextricably connected. Will they be able to save their worlds from destruction? What secrets of the universe will they unearth? And will any of them discover the truth behind the Liminal Hollow?
MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥

"If ever something was lost...Zuri Ayim was the one who could recover it." _____________________________________________________________ Twelve years ago, a meteorite fell among the seven city-states of Kiro, and birthed a new legend. They are called Celestials: normal people given supernatural abilities from the meteorite's impact. Eighteen-year-old Zuri Ayim received the ability to look into people's minds when the meteorite struck, and since then has used her power to make a business for herself, in the hopes of paying off her father's debt before it's too late. But Zuri's life changes quickly when the Queen herself asks Zuri to find something for her: a talented weaver who is said to stitch the future into his tapestries. With the help of four other Celestials, Zuri sets out on a lengthy journey to locate him. Except, complications soon arise when they discover that this man's power isn't so simple. That, and they're not the only ones looking for him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Updates every Saturday. As always, vote and comment if you enjoy!Complete
