Death takes, rarely does he ever give. 

In a small fae village, at the very end of the world, lives a girl plagued by the presence of Death. Lumeria would do anything to save her mother from the sickness that now wreaks havoc throughout her body. So when Lumeria sees Death standing at the end of her mothers bed, she decides to make a bargain with him. 

Her life, for her mothers.

One as old as Death isn't surprised by how humans choose to live and die. Not anymore. So when Fate leads him to Lumeria, a child of the fae, and the only person in the world who can see him in his true form. He begins to watch her as well. But when Lumeria tries to bargain with him for her mothers life, he refuses. 

Until she reaches out and touches him without dying. And the bond between them is sealed. 

The Dark One has abandoned the only thing in the world that mattered to him, in hopes of obtaining the mythical blade of prophecy: The Dagger of Thorns. In order to obtain untold power and immortality, he must kill the deity who sired him. But the closer he gets to his goal, the more obstacles stand in his way. 

Betrayal, lies, love and loss.

Book #3 Lucy sacrificed herself to save Fiore; to stop the machine Loren and Lores constructed to destroy everything. But in order for it to have been destroyed, Lucy forced Natsu to let go of her over the cliff, falling to her death. But...wait. When Loren approaches a devastated Natsu she says that the one responsible for their mind control was a man long forgotten, who's true purpose was to get his one and only true prize: Lucy. And, Loren tells Natsu and the others they can rescue her, but they have to go to the place where shadows lie; the Black Stars. {Used from my previous story, Fairy Tail: The Luminous Star of Caballeen!} There, Lucy is trapped, being held as a trophy by the man and frozen in time. If Loren and Lores open the portal, they can go inside and save her. However, there is a catch; only one person can go inside. And, as soon as they enter the Black Stars, they would be overrun with Shadow monsters; hundreds of them all over the place. The man who has Lucy has control of the Black Stars, and would send the pursuer into different realms to battle different monsters. But Natsu doesn't care. He'd do anything to get Lucy back, and to save her from being trapped all alone forever. Automatically claiming he'd go and not let anyone else take his place, Natsu dives in to the land of the shadows; the Black Stars. Will Natsu save Lucy and bring her home, back to him and the others? Find out what happens in all the chaos in Fairy Tail: Shadows.

Time didn't matter to her. She got up when the sun did and tried to sleep when the sun went down. because of this seemingly endlessness, she's forgotten her name, she's forgotten her family and she's forgotten everything she use to be. Now she was nothing. Living on the streets of a town begging for money and food from travellers that didn't know who she was, unlike the rest of the town that thought of her as something unnatural even though she doesn't know why. Constantly abused by the townspeople who don't understand her, she is left to die in an alleyway after a horrible run in with three drunk men. She was expecting to die and have her corpse eaten by rats and other vermin. What she didn't expect was to be saved by a woman that was everything but human. "Do you want to live?" This woman asked and when she looked into herself she knew the answer, it came easy through her busted lips. "Yes." From that day on she became something else, something not human, something extraordinary and from that day forth she will serve this woman who saved her life and maybe one day remember her name or be given one by her new Mistress. Maybe one day she'll remember who she was and maybe she'll even find the one person that completes her soul. From that day forth she became a Nightwalker. Completed. This is a lesbian story and contains mature actions between females. There will be warnings at the beginning of the chapter if you do not wish to read such content.

❅| "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.
