Along the border of the Realm of Man, one tiny tilt in the Balance will shake the very foundations of The Nine Realms...
Calais Erbryn (or Callie, as she prefers to be called) knows who and what she is. She has been groomed for her role all her life. Her family, and the families that make up the town of Nerem, are not your average townsfolk. Each of them comes from a long line of people born with a natural talent for harnessing the forces of the natural world around them...Adepts who can wield tangible magic. But don't call them witches...
Her parents, along with 11 other Adepts, sit as The Circle, the governing (guiding, rather) body that serves as counselor, mediator, judge, and jury. But their world is not a completely safe one, and each Adept in line to take a seat vacated by an Elder Adept is assigned to a protector on their 18th birthday. This protector is known as the Guardian. Their sole duty is to follow one order, regardless of what they must do in order to carry out that one order: Ensure the continuation of the life of the Adept they are Assigned to regardless of the cost.
The Shifters in the neighboring town are growing restless, and the residents of Nerem are rocked by the arrival of several Alder Faefolk...ancient beings who are presented as descendants of the long-departed Fae, but whom are rumored to be the Fae themselves. The Faefolk are Equalizers of the Balance, but when they discover a tilt beyond the scope of their skills, they flee to Nerem to seek Sanctuary amongst the Adepts.
Even worse, Callie's 18th birthday is tonight.

A Lost Faith (Fenris x Hawke' s Cousin! Reader)
(Edited!) (Y/n) was just your average runaway slave, but she held a dark secret. She was as well as Hawke's eldest cousin, but also was a mage, yet no one knew. No one, except Leandra, Hawke' s mother. Leandra, one of (Y/n)'s only friends, learned of her birth from her brother, (F/n) Amell, and she went to see the small child. One thing was different however, (F/n) was an elf, and (M/n) was a dwarf. Somehow the child was much more-so, like the darkspawn, but she was still an dwelven child. That didn't stop the slavers however, and they took her away at the age of, 10. After a few years she grew attached to her master, whom was a very very kind young woman. This woman would take her to meetings in Seheron to speak wih the Qunari Arishok. (Y/n) was fluent in Qunarin and one day, she asked hem to attack the city and she would join them in it. And they did, and she as well joined them. After Seheron fell, hey branded her back with Lyrium, in the oddly familiar shape of the Amell crest. Something funny about this little Dwelf was that she was a demon too, but kept it to herself. Her master, Anna Llamar, had no clue that she was a mage, yet knew of her origins as a shape-shifter. After a short while of being with the Qunari, she traveled to Kirkwall, Where the Qunari were forced to stay, yet they allowed her... No, willed her to search for her Aunt, who sent word to her when Lothering was destroyed, and Kirkwall was to be her new home. (Y/n) learned that Leandra lived with (Y/n)'s uncle, Gamlen Amell. So she went to lowtown sadly, at night. Where she first meets Hawke and runs into trouble with Tevinter Slavers. ------------------------------------ I do no own any characters within this story or game, I only own (Y/n) Amell, Alexander Masanda and Blaze Youi, Zenfir, and his twin sister Lucy Amell. -How the Hell is this my most read story?!Complete

A group of young people with different races and cultures, altogether united for one important mission. They are the only key to save their precious world Lumien from the upcoming chaos that will befall them. What are the truths that unfolds within? Will they be able to succeed in their mission? *** "Lumien is a special place that holds deep in our hearts. And no one can ever take our home from us no matter what.

We will fight for our rights and nothing can stop us, no one can steal and control Lumien, not even you, Darkxyney, the Demon-God." Darkxyney laughed and mocked them for his stupid remark.

I'll finally be able to replace my darn mother for being the Universe Goddess!" she laughed evilly as if she had won. Everyone looked uneasy as they felt Darkxyney was stronger than before.
