Young Magic I: Shoujo and Shounen Wars by user83970562

This story contains a bunch of my OC's. There are quite many of them. Additionally, I uploaded a chapter stating each of said characters in this story just in case. :3 There exists a world where only children roam around. No grownups, elders, guardians, or parents were present. Only children, and not only that, but cursed, enchanted children. A cursed, enchanted universe indeed; where these children live independently and passionately as princesses, vampires, witches, wizards, ghosts, and several other wonders. A life of fantasy and adventure... only for this life to be involved with a horrendous war of two regions. One region was Young Magic Shoujo, and the other was Young Magic Shounen.

The Lords of New Avalon by Gilnor

What if our world was ruled by almighty sorcerers? A noir world where magic is a part of everyday life but only cruel Lords have a right to use it.

An enchanting story in a thoroughly elaborated setting where fairy tales interweave with reality in beautiful and unforeseen lace. Bright characters, each one with own history, secrets, and motives. And tough decisions with unpredictable consequences.

The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised. Anna knew better than to believe him. What was it he had said? Oh. "You...you said...you said 'no witnesses'." She was shaking violently. She took another deep breath.

But everything changes when she receives a strange letter from her estranged father. The words feel... off. Unfamiliar. Like they weren't written by him at all.

Alone, afraid, and desperate for answers, she sets out for a forgotten island where her "father" now lives - the only elf known to have survived the Fog. Will she be able to race against time to uncover her father's secrets despite her deteriorating condition? Does he hold the key to a cure? Can she reclaim joy before the fog consumes her? Will she rise to become a better ruler than her father ever was - and challenge the world's prejudice against elves?
