Second place in the Fantasmical Story Competition.

Alaina, a semi-reclusive elf with questionable fire magic, joins a mysterious stranger. Together, they must travel through twelve fantastical realms, defeating dangerous monsters in order to save her sister.

Alaina grew up in the small village of Koh-i-noor with her parents and two sisters. Her oldest sister was the village beauty, and even though her family wasn't wealthy or connected, rumors of her elegance and grace traveled the countryside. She married a prince and moved to the capital. Then there's her younger sister, gifted in both earth and water magic; she's one of the most talented magic users in over a century.
And Alaina? She's nothing like either of her sisters. She's got fire magic, but she's more likely to burn the house down than to light the hearth. But that doesn't bother Alaina - she's perfectly fine, even with unreliable magic. She lives in the small cottage her parents left her, along with her loyal, if somewhat yippy fox, Cinna, tending her garden and selling the sweetest strawberries that Koh-i-noor has ever seen. But when her sister sends a cryptic word that something's wrong at the Trida Academy, Alaina must abandon her solitary life to save her sister.

Demonality-Terra Aluvis Cross-Over Fan Fic by Er1nyes
5 parts Complete Mature
Aurrynthea Shadow's Fire (or Thea for short) is from my own book Demonality. Thea is a half earth Dragon-half fire demon. Cursed in the womb she is unable to take her Dragon form, her only Dragon attribute is her large black Dragon wings. Her demon blood means even though she is emotionally immature she is physically mature. The heir to the throne of Hell, she is usually guarded by a company of fire demons specifically chosen by her father for their loyalty - but due to her wings Thea often ditches her guard detail. It is during one such flight she catches the eye of Jerome - a visitor to Hell. Jerome is a Lunid and the creation of Nox of Van Syl Production. (https://www.deviantart.com/van-syl-production/) He is a powerful creature of darkness and a descendant of one of the oldest noble bloodlines of Lun on Terra Aluvis. He lives a life full of pleasure and joy. With captivating blue eyes and long deep black hair he is an androgynous beauty and a master in the art of seduction. He has wings which he can be materialized when he chooses that allow him not only an air of power but also flight. Jerome cherishes sensuality and beauty above everything -the stronger the sensation the better. He is used to getting what he wants. He is obsessed by the desire to dominate everything and everyone. "Hunt. Conquer. Control." This is his creed. He sees Thea and decides he wants to play with her. This is a fan-fiction piece that takes place in an alternate timeline before the beginning of Terra Aluvis and before Thea meets Jon in Demonality. My sincerest gratitude to Nox for sharing his creature with me... and allowing me to play with him.

Whispers of Nowhere by RebelDynasty
52 parts Complete
**AVAILABLE ON AMAZON** (Book One in the Whispers of Nowhere trilogy) When Gwen's father gets home late from work, it's just another typical night for the museum curator's daughter. Still, there's something strange about the artifacts he's brought home this time, something so unique that she can't help but touch them. In a blinding flash, the artifacts vanish, and a mysterious man appears in their place. Only he's not a man at all. Forneus is a daemon, an intermediary between gods and man-and the guardian of the very artifacts Gwen has just unwittingly sent back to their places of origin around the globe. Gwen doesn't have time to absorb this before a new figure emerges: Phenex, the human-personification of the legendary bird, himself. The next thing she knows, she's being whisked away from the comfort of her home into a world beyond her wildest imaginings. When she thinks things couldn't possibly get any more complicated, she's proven wrong. Because those bizarre artifacts? They were protective seals to a place called Nowhere; a prison realm created by the gods to contain all of the malevolent forces Gwen has only heard about in bedtime stories. Now those very same forces are on the rampage, intent on revenge against the gods whom imprisoned them-and they don't care who else gets hurt along the way. Possessing innate powers she can't even begin to understand, it is up to Gwen and her two mysterious allies to reclaim the lost artifacts before someone far more sinister does...
