The legendary Phoenix is reincarnated from his ashes every thousand years... or so the story goes. When Emrys wakes days after his death with bare memories, the vengeful deity responsible for his revival is his only guide to figuring out how--or why--he has returned. But months of training and sacrifice have made her motives clear:

Defeat the goddess of death, and slaughter anyone who gets in his way.

Meanwhile, three months have passed since the Barrier between realms was shattered, and a portal has merged Earth and Astraela as one. Otherworldly creatures have carved the once-average city of Havenwood into a shell of death and Corruption.

Eva, Bobbi, and Mystia are the lone survivors of the supposed "end-of-days." With the death of their friend, an angry goddess fighting for control of Eva's body, and the looming threat of a Child of Darkness said to bring ruin upon the realms, they embark on a mission to protect what remains of their homes.

But first, they must find their only chance of survival: the Phoenix... who isn't meant to be reborn for another thousand years.

Fates intertwine, friendships are tested, and evil rings anew in this twisted tale of chaos and ruin, where nothing is quite as it seems.

The fiery Phoenix/Crimson tales of the burning embers by Lityo23

burned to ashes Hint hints SOME of my stories are connected to the Age Of POWERS: last part :D She was supposed to be dead-burned to ashes in the fires that had claimed her once peaceful life. But Ember Wren, the woman with the power of the Phoenix, refuses to stay down. Captured by enemies who sought to extinguish her flames for good, Ember awakens in a world where her powers are fading, drained by mysterious forces, and her memories fractured. Though she was once an unstoppable force, she's now vulnerable, lost in a world where she can no longer trust herself or the people around her. But Ember is not one to give in. Even weakened, she is unkillable. As she slowly rediscovers her abilities, unlocking her many powerful and unpredictable transformations, her past comes rushing back in pieces-full of secrets, lies, and the unresolved romance that haunts her heart. But danger looms. Her enemies are relentless, and they want her powers for themselves. To survive, she must find her strength again while navigating the murky waters of trust, betrayal, and love. As Ember battles those who seek to control her and confronts the man who once betrayed her, the embers of her past threaten to ignite a fiery storm. Will she be able to reignite the Phoenix within, or will she be forever consumed by the forces conspiring against her?

Stars of Freedom by AstraeaSOF

"To tell you a story, you'd need to know how different things were back then. The world was filled with creatures who could destroy us at any moment. Some people even managed to control them, not that they stood a chance. Anyways, there were also gods and goddesses who sometimes watched over us-not all of them were good people, keep in mind. With that out of the way, let's begin..." • Volume 1 | Phoenix | Chapters 1 - 24 A world full of monsters from every mythology and people who can summon weapons to defeat them at will. A few groups of special people abruptly unite to fight a threat that has watched them for some time. • Volume 2 | Nexus | Chapters 25 - 75 Though nine years pass, some people never really forgot that day. After all that happened so suddenly, a few people remain. Bound together by the strings of life, a new enemy appears to disrupt their lives. • Volume 3 | Freedom | Chapter 76 - 140 Bound together, the group wants nothing more than to return to normal lives after such a crazy journey. Will they finally reach a happy ending? Or will someone else tell their story for them?

The Sage's Vow [COMPLETE] by Cross-Warrior

|Book Two of The Soul-Bound Chronicles| The veil separating the realms has weakened. With the first four seals stolen, the strength of the temples fades, and more outbreaks from the Energy Realm puts a strain on the Paladins. For Josh, it's nothing he can't handle. With his team by his side, sending magical creatures back where they belong is the best sort of training. At least until Cale and Mara leave for a mission of their own meant to build up their strengths and ditch him with a new teammate he barely knows. As the tensions grow high in the Sanctuary, both because of the ongoing war with the Shadow Knights and shady Sage politics, Josh tries to find comfort in his former life and the people he thought he'd left behind. But his peace is not meant to last. Mara and Cale have disappeared, and all clues point to them being in the Energy Realm. Home to monsters and remnants of Phoenix Dragons, the other realm holds many threats, but Josh will do whatever it takes to find his friends. While there, he discovers a way to give the Paladins an edge in the war, but this solution forces him to make a decision he isn't sure he can make. He must put his fate, as well as those he loves, in the hands of a Sage who hates him. -- Cover by eryxnaps

Portals & Realms by mochi_ona

"Save the world, and join the fight, or else the entire world will die tonight. Take up arms, protect your neck, or else it'll be you who is another body in the wreck." - - All that the five friends wanted to do was explore their old school in the dead of night, avoid being arrested if they were found, and find any and all secrets possible. That does not all go to plan however, for two of them find a mysterious, glowing orb in the girls bathroom that turns out to be a portal. Now, they are all thrown into this mess, with new names and their true identities coming forth, along with their secrets. An enemy is lurking in the darkness, shadowing themselves with other villainous characters the five meet along their way. They all must learn to trust each other, learn to accept loss, discover the truth behind established relationships, and Mae must gather to courage to fight a secret enemy that has been inside of her for 14 years. - - - Publishing began June 20th Cover art was wonderfully made by @ sevrot on Instagram I do not claim certain worlds, backstories, or characters featured in this novel! Many are owned by CatFace Studios, NixHydra, Nintendo, etc. However, this is an original story with non-original characters thrown in for their individual purpose. I would not call this a fanfic, but if that is what you see it as, go ahead. I simply need familiar faces to tell a story close to my heart. Started writing in late 2017.

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira

[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

Of Ashes and Wind by DevilRed03

Adults tend to fear things they do not understand. Phoenix Stroud was born with a unique trait - she had parts of both a girl and a boy. Something she never realized was a secret until one spring when the other children found out. Seeing the distress of their eldest, her mother and father - famed and former members of the Brilux Royal Palace - decided it was time to leave the countryside and return to the human city they left behind. Armed with a hunting knife as a parting gift from her best friend in the small village, Phoenix unexpectedly takes her first steps towards a great fate. A fate which held the lilac yet defiant gaze of Eiriell Elatoris - Elven Crown Princess of Eostrun. Together, Phoenix and Eiriell would conquer the challenges that faced them across the great land of Aldernad. Together, they would learn, they could do anything. Inspired by the Webtoon "The Beginning After the End"

That is until an unexpected visitor gives him hope for the life he's only dreamt of. Can they keep the demons coming from every direction from breaking down the walls?
