HOUSE OF THE DRAGON and WINGS OF FIRE meets the ODYSSEY.

Hesperion Aleunor can feel the spectators' eyes on his scales when the moon rises over the sea waves. Starlight mocks him each night, knowing that he would never wake up in the same nest when dawn breaks. All it took was one incorrigible error for him to turn into a toy for celestial beings, into a vagabond bearing a peculiar curse. 

When discord erupts in the heavens above, an escape opens before him in the form of a dangerous wager, one that could cost him his life. As he fights against his curse for his freedom, a desperate Hesperion finds his fate deeply intertwined with his homeworld's. 

All the world's an arena and the heavens are waiting, breathless. What would it take for one dragon to outlast his curse?

Curse of the Stars Book 1 by AprilCalderwood

"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?

Angels vs Demons - The Bringer Of Peace. by Miyuki_Sakurai

[COMPLETED] She came up to a small hill where the moonlight was directly above her. She looked up at the moon, how the cloudless dark blue sky helped the moon to shine brighter. She felt an immense happiness spark in her heart. She felt it travel through her veins, she felt a tickling feeling in her finger tips. She looked at them only to see sparks fly from her tanned hands. She stared in disbelief. The sparks of white was emitting from her hands and disappearing in to thin air. She whispered inside her breath, " Oh.. my god... magic!?...." Her chuckles transformed into joyous laughter. She found her power without anyone's help. She started to move her wrists for a rhythm, humming her favourite tunes of 'Coldplay'. The sparks from her hands kept glowing, brighter and brighter with her happiness. She spun around, unable to contain her happiness and excitement. The magical sparks following her hands. She layed on the grass, with her arms open. The dew drops damping her back. She watched the sparks float into the dark blue sky, beautiful enough to replace the stars. Soon it stopped. She closed her eyes but the smile on her face refuse to leave. " Just when I thought my chances of being an angel were over..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Angels vs Demons - The Bringer Of Peace " describes the incredible journey of Clara Silvermoon , who discovers that she has within herself a dark power which if she learns to control, can save the gruesome battle between the two most powerful worlds and bring peace to both worlds. Follow her footsteps as she races against time to find out what she really is, an Angel or a Demon. ~March 26th 2017- July 1st 2017~

Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2) by _Hiraeth_Author_

A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.

Night Fury's Wrath by Night-FuryDreamer

[THIS STORY IS ONLY POSTED ON WATTPAD! ALL OTHER COPIES ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE ARE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS!] (~IMPORTANT! This is the sequel to Night Fury's Venom, go back and read that first, or this story will not make sense!~) Darkness is slowly enveloping the world, originating from a place only known through rumors of the past, darkness born of jealousy, contempt, and anger. An insidious plot to dominate all life is in motion, and a tyrannical ruler with cruelty unmatched by any other is at its head. Such things are merely fantasies, only tales told to hatchlings to scare them into behaving lest they be taken by the monsters of the dark. Or is it? A duo of saviors in the most unlikely of forms seem to be the only ones capable of pushing back the consuming darkness, but does the world deserve these "heroes?" Dragonkind must find a way to redeem themselves in the eyes of their last hope before time runs out, or watch the world burn around them. Disclaimer: I don't own HTTYD or its characters/species. I only own the idea and any new characters that may appear. Status: Ongoing! Updates every Monday, or every other Monday, mainly depending on my work schedule.

ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows by rinaXhazurina

FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "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, an immortal 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--where death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve 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 cruel world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Contains a few depictions of blood, violence, and eldritch elements.

The Domestic Dragon by MostlyAlexLeigh

[COMPLETE] [[**Sequel, The Hybrid Harold, is up!**]] The first generation past the war has settled and the result is something no one from the past would recognize. In the United Human Alliance, the human run country that takes up much of the land mass that used to be the United States, magical children are taken from their parents and sent to boarding school at a young age. What provides humanity with safety from 'volatile' magical beings separates parents from their children and young adults from their culture. Alenia Paetzold is the prime example of what the UHA has created. A domestic dragon. That's why they never expect her to find her wings and burn the cage she is held in to the ground. Getting there, however, takes a prophecy, a lot of lies, and overwhelming love. "For The War Is Lost if They Can Not Win Their Child's Life Lost for Their Sin" ***OMG IT GOT TO NUMBER 1 IN MATRIARCHY!*** ***AND #4 IN FANTASY-ROMANCE!*** Trigger Warnings: Death. If you find something I have overlooked (which may happen, I've read this book a million times) please let me know and I will update! July 2020: I've entered this story to the 2020 Watty Awards! Please please vote! Thank you!

Forgotten Legends (DRAFT VERSION) by KatWingfree

"The Prophecy may say you are a hero, but you'll never be what the universe needs to survive." Cloud Star has always known he was different. From the day he exploded from his egg with the curse of sapphire-colored scales, to the day the ghosts in his head told him why he had to be kept a secret from the rest of the world, until now; nineteen years later; when he must remain hidden to prevent a firey end to the nine Realms of Dragnaple, he had never doubted he had power, even if he had never felt it (or, let's be honest, seen it). But what he hadn't suspected was just how much a dragon of his rarity was worth--and what some would do to secure him for their own selfish desires. But when Cloud is given the chance to leave his home and everything he's known behind to go out into the world and become the hero the Realms so desperately need, he will have to make a choice: Stay where he knows he will be safe--and watch the Realms tear each other apart... ...or break free of the expectations of his kind and become a hero that the universe could never have predicted.

God-Child-Soldier by aesthenisia

Jacaerys Velaryon knows his life will end one of two ways: on a throne or nameless in a traitor's grave. He knows his mother's will end the same way. A prince's duty is to protect his queen. Alder Tierney is an estranged daughter of the North, a smallfolk with a secret larger than a dragon. She has the blood of the forest in her, the touch of the Old Gods. And she longs for more than her life. All stories begin somewhere. This is the story of a prince who falls from his dragon, finds his mother a sworn shield, and somehow (possibly) stops a war.
