Upon the blurred line of morality and at the mercy of circumstance, two souls meet. Again. And again. And again. So, is it simply a coincidence or something more? 

When a young Mariel leaves home, she is instructed to lead a quiet, ignoble life. Forever. And so, determined to remain overlooked, she toils endlessly, disguised as all things plain. But they say still waters run deep, and even the ordinary are not who they appear to be...

So, what would it take for those waters to ripple? 

Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way. But a pirate's curse is a pair of wandering eyes, a boundless appetite for more, and a fascination with the unknown.

Waters disturbed, the two upend one another's lives with misunderstanding hands and misguided compassion. The balances of fate tip dangerously and they quickly find themselves pitted against the same foe: time. The world's watchful eyes fall upon them as night coats the skies and something unexpectedly new begins to emerge.

Hope. 

Little do they know just how dangerous something like that can be.

The siren and the serpent ⚣ by AngryPeopleUnited

❝Thaddeus Wraith had successfully destroyed the fortress within my head and scrambled my senses. Which was strange. How had I gone from fearing somebody, maybe even loathing them. To wanting to feel him against me, the heat that radiated off his body--for his lips to move against mine. I craved the chaos that we had together, and by gods did it intoxicate me to know that I had him. 𝒜𝓁𝓁 𝑜𝒻 𝒽𝒾𝓂. Every damaged, broken piece, every intrusive thought that came into his mind when those green eyes bore into mine. I had it all. ❞ ━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━ Orion Vale was meant to drown when a storm took him at sea--but instead, a siren's magic spared his life. Pulled aboard Captain Wraith's ship, Orion soon feels an unexpected connection to the ocean...and to the mysterious force that saved him. As strange powers begin to awaken, he's caught between his shifting feelings towards the captain and this cryptic prophecy tied to his "curse." Lines begin to blur, and hate just may turn into love. Torn between the captain's relentless hunt for sirens and his own destiny, Orion must navigate a dangerous path, where every choice could lead to betrayal or salvation.

They hunt enchanted relics, artifacts of immense power. That shape the very fabric of this magical world. The crew is as strange as their quest. A captain haunted by visions, a navigator who whispers to the stars, and a quartermaster with secrets darker than the ocean depths. Now, you must find your place among them. The glowing shell in your possession marks you as something, or someone special. But will it bring fortune, or doom? Set sail into uncharted waters where magic is as treacherous as the sea itself, and where being a pirate means more than plundering

Soul by SAnastas

"In a world ruled by power and tyranny, peace is a distant dream. You were once a child, innocent and new to life, yet someone ignited the flames of destruction, suffocating your breath and stealing away the purity of your air. All that remained were fleeting drops of water and the faintest hope that the fires would one day cease. Perhaps you were gifted, your powers beyond what was ever expected, but power isn't just strength-it's a threat. Years passed, and you grew to despise everyone and everything. In rage and vengeance, you found a twisted kind of salvation. Amidst the chaos, you found home with someone you've picked up while desperately trying to escape the chains of fate. And though agony shaped my path, I never wavered from my purpose. Through hell and blood, I built my name and wealth, offering others a chance for redemption, for lives once broken like my own. Now, after all this time, I've prepared to fulfill the final task of my life. Many will weep, blood will stain the earth, but certainly, they will pay for stealing my childhood. - Anastas
