In a realm where humans and devils wage a ceaseless war amongst themselves, a solitary figure emerges from the shadows, bearing the weight of a tragic past. The world knows him as The Lone Ascendant, a being with unparalleled power and a heart burdened by solitude. His journey unfolds in the tapestry of a fantastical landscape, where ancient grudges and dark secrets intertwine. As he navigates through treacherous alliances and battles, the true extent of his strength is revealed, and the echoes of his haunting history resound through the fractures of the realm. The Loneliness, the Overpowering might, and the Sadness that define him shape the destiny of this enigmatic hero, as he grapples with both the demons within and the chaos that surrounds him. Will he find solace amidst the chaos, or will the shadows of his past consume the very essence of his being?

Descendants of the Dragons by AEStag
31 parts Complete Mature
Arendella was a kingdom divided by strict hierarchies, where the nobles lived in splendour while the common folk toiled under the weight of their daily struggles. Mei Lin, with her quiet grace and resilient spirit, had long accepted her place in the world, finding solace in the simple pleasures of nature, the beauty of the night sky, and the warmth of her family's love. Yet, her heart harboured dreams that reached far beyond the horizon, dreams she dared not speak aloud. In the farthest reaches of Arendella, where the mountains touched the sky, resided the kingdom's strongest warrior, Kael. Known as the Dragon's Blade, Kael was a figure of legend, his prowess in battle unmatched, his loyalty to the kingdom unwavering. He was the son of King Aldric, the ruler of Arendella, and his life had been one of constant training and preparation, for he was destined to protect the kingdom and its people from any threat that might arise. It was during the ceremony, as the flames of the dragon's altar cast a warm glow upon the gathering, that Kael's gaze fell upon her. Mei Lin, dressed in the simple garb of a servant, was one of the sacrificials. She was a beauty under the dirt & rag, yet unnoticed by the nobility. To Kael, however, she was like a beacon in the darkness, her quiet beauty and inner strength capturing his attention like no one ever had before. For the first time in his life, Kael felt something stir within him that had nothing to do with duty or honour. There was a connection, a spark that drew him to Mei Lin. Read on to find out how the story unfolds. Adaptation of "The War God's Favourite" by Jenny Fox
The Greylands: Modern Edition by SusanSkylark
1 part Complete
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.

She is a monster, a nightmare, a killer, who dreams of an ancient battlefield and a different, brutal world where stars fall and dark blood stains the earth. Kye Merran is an Ember, one who wields fire magic. When a childhood friend shows up at his house with a strange girl who is bleeding black blood, he knows that he's getting into something he definitely shouldn't. Especially when the Dark King of Rurik, who may have much more to him than it seems, is looking to conquer another kingdom or two, preferably with a powerful, dark queen at his side. But Kye can't seem to stay away from the mysterious girl with the blood of Darkness. And Val can't stay away from Kye either, no matter how much she claims that she hates him. As Val, Kye, and their friends race to stop the Dark King and his approaching army, what they don't realize is that they are playing a part in an ancient, deadly game, a game between the light and the dark, one years in the making. But it is a game which neither of them can win, for their fates have already been determined by the desperate Gods, written in blood among the stars.

For centuries, the balance between light and shadow has been maintained by the guardians of Elysium, a group of powerful sorcerers sworn to protect the realm from evil.

(TWs: gore, abuse, sexual abuse, cursing) Why does he still breathe? Why is he kept alive in this shadowed purgatory where time has no meaning, and screams are swallowed by the walls? His cell is a cage, his life a cruel experiment, and his mind a battlefield. Questions claw at him relentlessly: Who is he? What is he? Why does this torment exist? The walls bleed stories of others-lost souls whose cries still linger, haunting the air. His own voice has grown hoarse from endless screams, his body a canvas of scars, a map of suffering that tells no answers, only pain. Every day is a ritual of degradation, where faceless captors toy with his humanity, stripping him of it piece by agonizing piece. The only constant is the endless cycle of questions. Why him? Why the torture? What is their purpose? He clings to the faintest memories of a time before-fleeting images of warmth, love, a face he cannot quite recall. But even those are slipping away, devoured by the void growing inside him. In this relentless, suffocating darkness, where hope is a distant memory, only one question remains: When will the game end, and what will be left of him when it does?
