A year ago in the state of South Carolina spontaneous fires erupted from no where, setting buildings and forest to flames. The fires have been grouped in the up state and when winter came the fires continued attracting the attention of a group of scientist. These scientist first noticed the fires after being contacted by a fellow scientist in the region. Their goal is to determine the cause of these fires at any cost. There is many theories but the one that sticks out is not that these are natural but more that these fires are started by someone. What they don't know is they are about to uncover a great mystery and their lives will never be the same.

Echoes Beneath the Stone by Marek_Puchon
13 parts Complete
A group of archaeology students arrives in a remote village in Mexico for a summer project that was meant to be simple. Their task is to map a system of limestone caves and underground rivers, record measurements, and return with data for their university. At first the work feels like an adventure that blends science and travel. The air is filled with excitement and the promise of discovery. Yet the caves soon reveal secrets that go far beyond the task they were given. Deeper passages lead them into chambers untouched for centuries. Murals painted in strange colors show figures and rituals unknown to any existing culture. Carved faces stare from stone walls as if placed there to watch intruders. The group debates whether they have found evidence of a lost civilization or something even stranger. Wonder slowly turns into unease. When one student vanishes without a sound, excitement is replaced by fear and desperation. The search leads them through a spiral of stones, shelves lined with skulls, and a hall filled with bones arranged in patterns that speak of sacrifice and ceremony. They find an altar that hums with a rhythm matching the river below, and channels of water that refuse to show reflection. Every new discovery feels alive, as if the cave itself listens and decides who may pass. As danger rises, the students realize they stand at a crossroad. They can push further and risk their lives for knowledge that could rewrite history, or they can leave the place untouched and protect the secret for those who built it long ago. Their final choice will test loyalty, courage, and patience, and will shape whether the story of the hidden civilization is carried into the world or left buried beneath the stone forever.

2,218 Earth won't stop heating up, normal temperatures average 135°. With imminent destruction looming, someone has to figure out what's causing planetary chaos. LAURA, a descendant of the Originators, has always known she owns this puzzle, this responsibility. Laura has internalized this lifelong burden; in turn, she's developed a dissociative disorder she's effectively kept secret from everyone. Laura's leading the effort to solve this climate crisis, with her team of global environmental, atmospheric scientists for the U.S. company, H20, Corporation. Just when Earth's temperatures are beginning to normalize, the barometer starts climbing back up. Laura believes the human key to the Earth's weather crisis, is the team's newest member, MERC. Only he's not human and he's a charismatic psychopath. Merc's a first generation Originator, who's covertly working with the Untouchables. The Untouchables booby-trapped the Earth with artifacts believed to be creations of Earth's early civilizations. These machines of destruction are responsible for the blazing heat that is incrementally destroying the Earth. What causes complications for Laura's progress is her growing attraction to Merc, oddly because he's as void of a conscience as she is. She needs to figure out if Merc knows where the machines are so she can shut them down. Merc in turn, needs to stop Laura from finding the machines to keep Earth on its path to ruination. They are more powerful than they are letting on, and have no qualms about killing the other.

10 parts Ongoing Mature

On a seemingly ordinary school trip, a group of high school students is thrust into a series of inexplicable and eerie events that force them to confront death... Unless of course, they can work together to defy their fate. *** Ciel point of view*** I agreed to go on a two days long school trip and then come back home. It was supposed to ease off my mind, reduce my stress and improve my mood and wellbeing. But this school trip was different. The forest had been watching over us and scheming our demise. Soon, we were trapped inside of it, like bugs caught in a giant spider web with no other fate than to wait for our death. Or so, it seemed.
