Champions of Light: Gaëtano's Sword [Book One] by Natbug4545

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON & KINDLE On the planet Keodis, upon the western continent, Uestron, inside the Raesifiin Empire, in the small naval city of Cyripo, the story begins when thirteen diverse strangers answer a strange pamphlet to a quest. The quest is to find a powerful gem in the Deep Forest, and then to use what powers it bestowed on them to delve into the Mountain Barrier. There, they will have to find the Light to dispel the growing Darkness within. Though this qest is honorable and righteous, the dangers that await them are exponentially worse than they could ever imagine. Whether they can save the world depends on whether they can survive themselves. Mature rating for blood, gore and depictions of violence. TW: mentions of drunkards and beer, mention of physical abuses, a description of trypophobia, claustrophobia, and other phobias, and descriptions of nasty cryptids. There is no depictions or allusions of sex, no f-bombs, or drug abuse. This story was started when I was in seventh grade. I finished the original when I was a senior in high school. Displeased with the finished product, I began to rewrite it here, starting June 2015, then again in 2020. I am quite satisfied with the result, and am sure this will be the final edition. This isn't the first book of the series, but there's no spoilers for 'The World is Larger than it Seems', so you can start on this one. The story is far from finished, however, and I hope to eventually finish the series.

Rise of Fire: Dragons Reborn [COMPLETED] by RosaleeRain

The world had long since forgotten the age of dragons, those creatures that had once ruled the skies as gods had long since disappeared after the conclusion of the Great Demon Wars. Dragons became nothing more than a fading legend, a story to tell children at bedtime. But the gods could not let the dragons die, for they were the last defense against the demon armies and the dark god Vekkar. Talia had been born and raised in a world of darkness acting as an agent of Hephatus, goddess of assassins and death. She knew only a life of killing, sometimes for justice, sometimes for honor, always for money. Her morals were opaque at best. But when she's deployed to the city of Arboros she finds herself thrust into a world of political games, opposing powers, and constant threat. Nowhere was safe even for her. Her goals became muddied, and then lost altogether when she meets the Dwarven Prince. Bromyr had spent the last five years of his life chasing ghosts, desperate to find the lost dragon eggs. His people thought him crazy, his father stripped him of his titles, but he never gave up. Eventually his effort bore fruit and he hastily made way to return to his homeland only to get caught up in the city of Arboros. It was there that he met an intriguing half-giant, a woman who ignited a fire everywhere she went. In the end she was the one who inadvertently brought about the new age of dragons. What could go wrong when an ill tempered assassin becomes the first dragon rider of a new age? ***Cover made by annie1loves1you***

Vira's Fire by abster68

**TRIGGER WARNING: VIOLENCE, BLOOD, LANGUAGE, ADULT CONTENT**** Blue flames rise high into the air. The snow on the ground around the fire is now water, exposing the stone below. Evon has long since stopped screaming. Instead, his body is mostly chard. The deed is complete. Justice is served. The people have their peace of mind back. What little they can at least. Evon's death can never satisfy the loss they suffered. It is enough though, for now. I turn to the Tarren family. Matias is comforting his wife, Willa. By their side, their six children stand together. Matthew is holding Mila's shoulders from behind. The rest of her brothers stare blankly ahead. Mila's tears drip down her face onto the snow. I see violence stirring inside her. Evon may be dead, but what he did will never leave this family. I meet eyes with Matias and nod. "It is done," I tell them, "Let your vengeance be satisfied." With that, I turn and jump off the landing platform. I shift mid-air and fly around the castle. Now, I have an intruder to deal with.
