Once upon a time, Xadia was a unified land, filled with wonder and magic. 

At the dawn of time, there were six primary sources of magic, the sun, moon, stars, earth, sky and ocean. But a thousand years ago, a magician from a human tribe discovered a new power, the seventh source, black magic. It uses the essence of all magical creatures to awaken the forces of evil. 

Terrified by this sight, dragons and elves decided to put an end to the madness. Human mages, however, did not want to give up, and stood up to fight against the elves and dragons. 

The human mages using unimaginable black magic began to win. But then on the side of the elves and dragons stood the Flenimu, born from the union of human and elf. With their help, they managed to drive the humans westward. 

Then the continent was divided into two parts, Xadia or the eastern magical land and the western kingdoms of humans. For centuries the border was guarded by the dragon king himself. the people called him Thunder, because his voice made the earth and sky tremble. But before the day of the last coming of winter, people exterminated Grom, and then without a shadow of mercy destroyed his only egg, his successor, the dragon prince. 

The world then stood on the brink of an all-out war.

What if all those fairytales you read about were true? Only...they weren't your typical happily ever after. Levi awakes to find himself in a hospital bed after being in a coma for two weeks in a small town called Riverton with no memories of who he is. With the help of a newfound friend, Levi struggles to regain his memories of his life before the hospital, and as he retraces his steps, he runs into a familiar girl named Elyssa. For some unexplained reason, he feels drawn to her, but is shocked when she starts blabbering about how most of the people from the town were actually characters in a storybook under a sleeping curse. That's not even the crazy part. She couldn't expect him to believe that he, an orphan of all people, was supposed to be some prince destined to break the curse. That he was meant to save this mystical kingdom from Snow White and the Dragon Rokoda. He wasn't some prince, and he most certainly was no dragon slayer. But when he does come to remember his life in Riverton...will it be correct? Or just another trick invented by the curse? In a world called Meadowpeak, the Dragon King is presumed dead, left this world behind years ago and abandoned his people to suffer under the hands of Snow White's ancestors. Now, after centuries, dragons are scarce. Most of them were hunted and killed by Snow White and her lineage, fearing that the Dragon King would one day return to take back his kingdom. As Levi journey's through Riverton to discover who he is, join his story in Meadowpeak as he trains with Rumplestiltskin to stop Snow White from casting her curse to keep the next Dragon King off her throne. What happens when the hero's become the villain's? Take the next step, open the first page, and see what happens once upon a time ...

"Let me prove to you I am unlike them." Thousands of years ago, there was a faraway land called Oceanum Collis. Many different people lived among each other in peace. Elves, mermaids, werewolves, and humans. After fighting hundreds of wars, the people came to a compromise and started to work together. Realms were united and civilization was born. Oceanum Collis was beautiful and peaceful, but with light comes darkness. The humans felt left out. While the others had magic and great strengths, they were nothing special. A young man, Basil Adelio, found that humans deserved more than to be farmers. But there was more to his plan. He was after the throne, so he could rule all over Oceanum Collis. Together, the magical creatures were able to stop him. The humans left the lands, leaving behind everything they had built. The alliance between the four people was broken. The elves and mermaids tried to rebuild their alliance, but without the werewolves it was impossible. And so the three different people parted, hardly talking to one another ever again. Now, one hundred years later, a new realm has been created. It was separated from the other realms by a large wall. A new leader has risen from the shadows. He believed that the outside world was filled with dangerous things. So, he made sure everyone stayed within the walls of the empire. And those who didn't were never heard of again. As others always looked away, a young man called Orlando, always glanced beyond the wall. One day, he's able to see what's behind the wall for himself instead of hearing stories. A new world lies ahead of him, but it might not be as beautiful as he had hoped. A/n: Hey guys! So this is an original story. Please, do not copy the story or use my characters without my permission. I've taken a long time to set this all up. Thank you! And love you all! -Jay25211💜💜

"Hey guys... what is this?" the small orange haired girl named Emma said. Her small hands gripped on the cold bars. "A gate. It connects the inside and outside." The small black haired boy named Ray answered. "Outside? We've never been outside..." "That's because we haven't left here since being born." The small white haired boy named Norman said. "So is this what Mom always tells us about?" Emma smiled. "Never go near the Gate of Fence in the back of the forest cause it's dangerous.'" "Hmm...I don't see anything dangerous there." the small girl named (Y/N) said with her eyebrows furrowed. "She says that but it's not true." Ray says looking down. Norman looks at Ray. "It's not?" "Hey Ray! What would you do outside?" Emma happily asked. (Y/N) looked at Emma to Ray. "I don't know. You, Emma?" "I'd ride a giraffe!" "Good luck." Ray turned away, sarcastically. "And you, (Y/N)?" Emma asked (Y/N), happily. (Y/N) thought about it for a moment. "I want us four to be together and spend the rest of our lives outside!" Emma's smile stretched widely and giggled. "Yeah and that too!" "This gate..." Norman touched and grabbed the cold bar with his both hands in front of him. "You know...I wonder what is really keeping us protected from." ---------------------------------------------------- This my first fan fiction book of The Promise Neverland anime with female reader inserted.

The girl has been separated from her family, but she has been adopted by King Harrow, and has became the young Ward of the King. As Jenna grew up, she and the two princes listened to King Harrow's tales of Xadia enthralled. But Claudia scoffs at the stories of the fierce elven and draconic warriors who fought an epic battle to save all of Xadia from an evil Dark Mage. But when six Moonshadow elven assassins have arrived to the castle for the revenge of the deaths of the Dragon King and the Dragon Prince, they have found new hope in the most unlikely places. When the young girl learns that her past is much more interesting then it seems, Jenna joins the trio in their journey to stop a never ending war and bring peace to all of Xadia and the Human Kingdoms once more. But with dark forces on the move, working against them in every turn and lives on the line, will Jenna ever uncover the truth about who she is? Disclaimer: Don't worry, writing for fun and inspired by Kluvu123. I made a lot of Skywing elven hybrid stories, so I'm curious about how it feels like to be a Startouched elven hybrid story. I never really done it before.
