Ethereal Thread | ONC 2020
[Novella Edition ✧ First Draft] This story has been reimagined as my project "Every Glistening Night." This version will remain up, however, I highly recommend checking out the newer one, since it is more representative of my current writing style. Light shines down from the heavens, illuminating the Earth below. But every so often, a beam falls down from above. If you know how, you can catch it. If you don't, you destroy it. And when you collect enough rays of light, you hold the power of the sun, moon, and stars in your hands. Only one has mastered the art. Only one can capture the precious light, and spin it into ethereal thread. Her name is Celisae. In order to solidify an alliance for three tribes, Celisae is asked to weave three dresses, one of sunlight, one of moonlight, and one of starlight. There's only one problem - Celisae is not a weaver. Written for the ONC 2020.Complete

First to Rise (Excerpt)
The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react.
