Pirates of the Caribbean: Scarlet Tides by Braints
17 parts Ongoing
In the heart of the Caribbean, where the waters shimmer under the ominous glow of the setting sun, a dark legend is whispered among sailors-the Scarlet Tides. The legend speaks of a mysterious sea witch who commands a crew of the damned, manipulating the tides to pull ships into the depths where their souls are claimed. No ship that sails these cursed waters returns, and the few who have survived carry tales of monstrous creatures lurking beneath the waves and an enchantress whose eyes can summon the dead. When Captain Liora Blackwell, a fearless pirate known for her unrelenting quest for treasure, stumbles upon an ancient map leading to the lost city of Maravique, she believes her fortune is finally within reach. The map promises treasures beyond imagination but also bears a warning-the city is cursed by the Scarlet Tides, and no living soul can claim its riches without facing the wrath of the sea witch. Obsessed with her ambition, Liora ignores the warnings and sets sail with her crew. But the deeper they venture into the cursed waters, the more reality warps. Shadows move beneath the waves, the crew begins to unravel, and the ship is stalked by supernatural forces. Among them is the sea witch, Serafina, a woman whose beauty is a mask for her ancient hunger, her true form monstrous, lurking in the dark abyss of the sea. As the cursed tides rise, Liora will have to face not only the horrors of the deep but the ghosts of her own past. The sea witch has her own agenda, and Liora's fate may be tied to a secret buried long ago-one that could doom them all.

❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 6] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carried, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out on a journey to find the Elementals - a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.

32 parts Complete

At 18, Nyx's life was starting to unravel. With no memories before her 16th birthday, a shadow loomed larger than her amnesia - the one she inexplicably conjured out of thin air. Thrust into a magical academy teeming with Mystics, Nyx discovers a truth as dark as her newfound powers - she's a descendant of Umbra, the kingdom of shadows and moonlight. Surrounded by powerful Mystics from all four kingdoms, she struggles to weild powers she never knew she had in the first place. Torn between pushing through and running back to the human world in which she spent the last two years of her life, her heart seems to be split in half as well. Caelum is everything any girl would want, kind, helpful, caring and understanding. But he has a girlfriend who is determined to ruin Nyx's life. Sin on the other hand, is the embodiment of his name; tall, dark and very dangerous, he is the storm that shakes Nyx's quiet existence. Now, with cryptic dreams, deadly threats and assassination attempts from the Outliers hunting her, Nyx has to unlock her past and control her volatile magic, all before the shadows consume her future. Will she be able to find the missing pieces of her life? Can she trust the friends she made along the way, or are they all a part of a big plan to annihilate her bloodline?
