In a world where people are not separated by the colour of their skin or the origin of their birth, not even by the religion that they follow, but by the colour of their eyes.
Those with eyes the colour green, lush and luxuriant like the mighty forests that once grew over all the land, are considered the luckiest and most noble of people; next those with grey eyes like that of a raging storm are said to be the most practical and reliable. Those with blue eyes like that of rain, are calm, peaceful and traditional. The colour hazel like that of an ancient tree are sharp and determined; last comes brown, an earthy colour like that of chocolate and a long rusted coin, people with this eye colour are associated with stability, confidence, reliability, and safety. All in their own little worlds hidden from the rest; but do not let it deceive you into thinking that they do not know the others exist.
In the middle of all these separate kingdoms a small tribe was left alone, and forgotten as they had no such colour to define them
For their eyes were white.

Reincarnated as Dragon's Sacrificial Bride
Synopsis: Aeris had never known love. As an orphan, she had spent her life yearning for warmth, for a place to call home. When she finally found someone who made her feel wanted, she clung to the illusion, believing that maybe-just maybe-she was no longer alone. But that illusion shattered the day she saw her lover in the arms of another woman. "You're pathetic," he sneered when she confronted him. And with one cruel shove, he sent her crashing against the wall. Pain struck her like a bolt of lightning, and then-darkness. She thought it was the end. Instead, she woke up in the body of a breathtaking maiden with long, silk-like black hair. Her limbs were bound, her vision blurred, and before she could even comprehend what was happening, she heard the chants of a ritual. She was being sacrificed-as a bride to a dragon. The people around her whispered prayers, their eyes filled with fear. They were offering her to him-the mighty, fearsome dragon lord who ruled these lands with fire and fury. She wasn't just anyone now. She was the chosen offering-the bride meant for the Dragon King. A being of pure darkness, a ruler feared across the world. They said he was a monster, a black-scaled dragon with a presence so overwhelming that the very air trembled in his wake. He controlled the elements and wielded power beyond imagination. He was ruthless, merciless, and unseen in his human form. No one had ever escaped his grasp. And now, she belonged to him. As the sky darkened and the great dragon descended from the heavens, his massive wings casting shadows over the trembling villagers, she finally saw him. Glowing red eyes, burning like molten fire, locked onto hers-not with rage, not with hunger, but with something unexpected. Curiosity. Possession. Fate had given her another chance. But was it a blessing or a curse? ---Complete![Rise of Fire: Dragons Reborn [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/187707890-256-k256622.jpg)
Rise of Fire: Dragons Reborn [COMPLETED]
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***Complete

Through Smoke and Ashes

And the Gods never make mistakes. So why is everyone questioning their choices when it comes to a female? Men with a courageous nature and determined mindsets have made their legacy and are talked about in stories; even after death, they live on. The Gods never make mistakes; however, people believe the Gods have made just that when a girl is chosen to fight in a man's war. For, there has never, in the history that has been written in books and along the walls of undiscovered caves, been a female dragon rider.

Kidnapped By The Supernatural
Grey eyes. It's the first thing you notice when you meet me. I'm the only person in the state of Maine that has this trait; everyone else has brown eyes, even my Uncle Ryder. But I'm different. Another thing you'd notice is the tips of my hair are violet. It's been that way since as long as I can remember. When I asked Uncle about it, he said it's one of the mementos my parents left behind for me when they disappeared. That's right. My parents are out of the picture. Now don't think this is one of those "Oh I was abandoned " or "they died when I was young" tragic kind of things. No. To be honest, I don't know where they are. No one does.Complete
