Yet again Darkness is hungry for a war to end it all, but Light will always have troops at the ready. One girl. One kingdom. Eleven friends. Four Elements. No biggie. * I'm Melody, hybrid freak, nice to meet you, strange muggle who I know nothing about. I used to be like you, cluelessly ignorant and uninvolved with the outside world. You know, they have a big, yellow ball of gas in the sky. Weird. Anyway my life became something out of a bad Si-Fi movie, and no, Nicolas Cage isn't in it (sadly). There are two forces in the world, Light and Darkness, and when you side with Light, Darkness gets a stick up its ass and wants you to suffer. My friends and I, we roll with Light, you must know where that leads.... I have a kingdom to learn, powers to master, loud friends to keep in line, a boy that I'm messed up over, and above it all, Darkness to show whose boss. Not as easy as you might think, but this is MY story, and I know how it ends. Being a loyal follower of Light shows me the beauty in life and the devastation it can cause. Don't get me wrong, I love Light, but Darkness makes it hard to stay and fight. * Melody is weird. She's childish. She's awkward. And she's got boy issues she needs to work out. Mel will face evil like no other, but can she do it? Will the scales of Light and Darkness finally be tipped? How can one girl make a difference? This is Melody, a corky teenager, and she wants you to read her story. Like now. Enjoy! Highest rank- #69 in Fantasy (Still cant believe it!!)

EDITORS PICK 2020. A new student doesn't think her mother understands how magic works. Inyanga Numbia will be the first in her family to go to Magicians' College, and she's going to find out. "Why doesn't Magicians' College just let anyone in?" "Won't they make more money if they accept everyone?" "If magicians get better jobs, why not send everyone?" These are the kinds of questions one would expect a bright young applicant to ask - but maybe not the second after receiving her acceptance letter. The Constellations stories are infinite, with infinite possibilities: Immortal girls at Magicians' College learn the laws of magic are built on a lie. The inventor of time travel wanted more hours in a day in which to read books. A mother chooses to bring a baby into the world, even though it will drain her immortality. Magician scientists discover the secrets of the universe to make the future brighter. Apartment hunting to get out of the Shade, Cielo and her esposa find the dream flat, but when they turn up to move in, the unit they signed has vanished. When transitioning spells become free, Chiara transitions to female and watches all of Soliara try out the gender with her. A server at a cafe rebels when the boss magician always fails to pay back pay. Bay steals from the till to save up for magic school, but she's addicted to Story, an immersive experience drug, and she'll spend all her solidae to get it. And more.

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

"Who's there," I can't breath. I'm always looking over my shoulder ever since- I can't think about the now. I have to run but where, back to Jake? No I can't, everything is different now. He's supposed to be here to protect me, because if the got me... blood smears the pages of the passed. "Sapphire!" I hear him call. "Coal!" I reach out to touch him only for him to be yanked just out of my reach. I hear the wolves in the distance howling at the beautiful moon. I need his touch again. I need to know I'm safe. The only safe place anymore is pressed against him under the sheets. "Coal!" I call out again. ---I can hear her. She's here somewhere I know it. I can smell her sent threw the thick of the woods. "Sapphire!" I call out, but my call is lost in the night. I have to protect her. I have to save one, just one. Maybe that will be enough to clean the blood off my tainted skin. What if they get her? She'll... Change... I look up at the moon, could she not have heard my howls? Of course she did. She always did. I can hear the other wolves in the forest. Soon I too would be engulfed by the beast. Unable to control myself, unable to predict the beasts next move. Only she could tame the beast inside me. Why be afraid of the monster under the bed when you should be afraid of the one lying next to you under the sheets.--- I keep quiet in the deep dark night. Watching her waiting for her to come back to me. I wait for him to slip up just long enough for me to swoop in and take her. It's only a matter of time. I wait for him to turn into that hideous beast. The beast that only comes out in the light of the moon. The beast that feeds of the insentient. I have to find her,to make her perfect, at least that's what they tell me. They tell me she'll be perfect and she will be mine. She will be the beginning of a new ere the ere of the beast. Everyone has secrets. Everyone lies. Everyone cries. Everyone dies. 2 view points, Coal and Sapphire. Mature! All rights reserved! Thank you!
Mediocre Writing Crappy Flow autorstwa nihalraven
9 części Zakończone
Mediocre Writing Crappy Flow is the author's honest attempt at trying to complete a Novella length composition. Written during the quarantine time as part of #campnanowrimo, the present volume introduces the writing style of the author through the medium of five short stories, an essay and a flash memoir, all stand-alone-except one bonus piece at the end-the first chapter of the author's #wip , Shvapach, about a perceived utopian future at Mars when Earth is rendered uninhabitable. The first story, for kids, is about a snake charmer that allows his snake to gobble birdies. What happens of him and his snake, after they are caught in the act, is followed in the story. It tries to make kids understand the right way of feeding snakes. The second story, for lovers, is about a young couple discussing going to a film about a same-sex relationship. The discussion that follows reveals that it's not love but sympathy and trust that is binding them together. The third story, for friends, is about two childhood buddies from the same tribe who now stand opposite each other, on the implications of a dam inside the jungles. The fourth story, for scribes, explores how much the first work of an author is the reflection of her life. The fifth story, for dreamers, is about an independent woman trying to shake off her aristocratic identity. Her father makes her fall back in line using love as a weapon. The essay, for women, explores the first profession in the world by evaluating the various claimants to the title and how women came to become the first commodity. Flash memoir, for me, is a monologue of a person walking through a park during springtime, the king of seasons when everything is extra energised. Written in British English, palatable to US English readers and understandable by all others, Mediocre writing Crappy Flow, tries to put into a philosophical perspective, the day-to-day experiences that we ignore in the daily hustle of trying to put food on the table.
