Alongside loyal friends, she embarks on a path that leads not only to self-discovery but also to the heart of a world forever changed by unforeseen calamity.

The Unseen Road by Mewn-san

What if you discovered a world like no other, but knew no way back? And yet, the only way to stay- and survive- was by leaving your past self behind, body and mind? From a small town on the panhandle of Florida, Kylie and Celeste are two fraternal twins tired of being bullied; Beatrice is an embittered fourteen-year-old dissatisfied with her home life; and Mina is a young, yet astute girl determined to uncover a family mystery long forgotten... The four girls, whose paths would have never crossed, find themselves in the midst of a mysterious railroad tunnel. With an inkling for adventure, they enter, only to emerge in a world straight out of a fantasy novel, a country called Alysia. It isn't long, however, before they find themselves in the middle of a decades-long Civil War between the forces of Heaven- Arcadia- and Hell- Abaddonia... and realize that going home isn't going to be as simple as they believe. The road home would be more than just a yellow brick road traversed in ruby slippers; in order to survive, they will have to grow up- in more ways than just one. With no other choice, each finds herself wrapped up in the adventure of a lifetime as, together, they fight to stay true to themselves. For Kylie, Celeste, Beatrice, and Mina, it would indeed be a while before they could ever turn back. A/N: Thank you to everyone who checks out my story.

All That's Forgotten by kateurgo

Amabilia Rinaldi wants absolutely nothing to do with the Eighth Domain. She ran for a reason. She's content with what she's created for herself in the Real World-her temporary job, temporary loves, temporary life. But after five years and a sudden series of reoccurring nightmares depicting her mother's death, Amabilia is forced to make a decision: return home to the scrutiny of her people or let her mother die without ever knowing why. With great reluctance (and a lot of resistance) Amabilia's unexpected return home is met with confusion as she discovers that although her world may appear unchanged, below the lies and secrets is a society on the precipice of total downfall. With the aid of unlikely allies and well-intentioned old friends, Amabilia is left to mend the world she despises and uncover all that's been forgotten.

Scared to grow up, she runs away from responsibility and finds a new world in an adventure to find out who she really is inside. While Amantha is no princess in distress, she has much to learn about the world of magic and mystery and along with the help of a beautiful boy with a secret past, she uncovers the fairy tale world that lives right outside of her kingdom. "When I was little, I didn't believe that there was magic. I had been taught that no elves, witches, leprechauns, unicorns, harpies, trolls or dragons had ever existed. No one could turn into anything else and everything happened for a reason. Now that I'm older, I realize that even if a tutor told me those things, you can't believe everything people say. I happen to know that magic exists because I have seen it with my own eyes. If you believe that dreams come true, they will. And fairy tales aren't only in story books."
