Life is but a Vale of Tears | ONC2025, de Fairytale_Fabler

[ Fantasy / Romance / MATURE ] The Vampyres of Gale are amid a flesh-eating pandemic, and Faerie tears are the only known cure. Livinia, a Faerie healer, joined the Human side of a Vampyre war in southern Nival to avoid scandal and the captivity of an arranged marriage. Upon "Liv's" return to her icy homeland, she gets put into real chains. She may have leverage, but it's not something that will set her free, at least not quickly. The Nightcaster Court is treacherous. They are rich, haughty, and powerful, but they haven't been hostile toward Faerie-kind since the "Vale of Tears" earned its name. It was before Liv's time, but it isn't any wonder why her people fled Crystal Hollows, a neighboring land that is theirs by right, at the first sign of crisis. Liv can try bargaining for the freedom she never had, but, as a rule, the Nightcasters are fickle, cruel, and can't be trusted. To complicate things further, there's Corbin, the ailing heir, and for every rule there's an exception. ONC2025 PROMPTS 2 ) To be in love with a demon was the last thing on your wishlist 41) It's a canon event, after all . . . she disappeared from the country . . . now she knew it was time to break free and reclaim her life. 68) In a world where a parasitic virus has taken control of the population, only a cure can end the tyranny. . .

Lightning without Thunder, de Elmusfire

ONC entry for 2024. Prompt 49: Being a superhero is just too boring. Let's be a villain! 15-years-old Marissa Everstar makes a Faustian bargain to receive superpowers, in the hope they will make her famous. But when being a superhero turns out to mainly involve boring work that does not get her the immediate popularity she craves, she shifts gears and becomes a villain. Trigger warning: contains descriptions of physical and emotional abuse, blood and gore. Excerpt from chapter 2: I carefully begin pouring the white powder onto the floor, drawing a large pentagram. I spend a lot of time on the intricate details, making sure everything is perfect. The summoning circle quite small, but it will have to do. I clap my hands twice and hear a soul-crushing scream that appears to pierce my body to its core. Hearing the sound fills my stomach with butterflies and gives me a fuzzy feeling. I haven't heard a single sound in almost a year. Following the scream, a shadowy figure emerges. He appears deep black, littered with stars, as if a human-like shape has been carved out of the universe, but also strangely transparent, as if made of glass. His long arms end in clawed fingers, and his ears and horns are goat-like in appearance. On his back are two bat-like wings. He speaks in a deep voice-the only one I've heard in a long time. "Mortal, why have you awoken me from my slumber?"

Flaws Within Us, de DarkTwiny

I saw everything. Every betrayal. Every death. Every lie. To mend what had shattered, I turned back time-no matter the cost, even if my soul burns. But the gods... they stripped me of what I saw. And now... I can't remember what I must do. **** Fabiana Vrai Montez once held the power to see the future-but even foresight couldn't stop her from committing a sin so catastrophic, it obliterated an entire timeline. In a desperate act to rewrite destiny and claim her revenge, she defied the gods and used forbidden magic to tear through time itself. But her plan was ripped apart when the gods punished her by making her forget parts of the future she had experienced, and by taking away her ability to see the future. The only way to get back what she's lost? She must stand before the very rival whose life she once ended... by her own blade. _____ Genre: Dark Fantasy Sub-genre: Romance, Comedy, Action, Tragic Languages: English :-·-·---·- Dates: Draft Start: December 1, 2022 Start Published: October 12, 2024 End Published:???

AQUA, de peaceful-2

Rivandia Aesilas hasn't been the same. Ever since their queen killed a God, the whole town has fallen under a curse. They lived amongst evil souls who have died painful deaths and seeked revenge. For twenty centuries, they were never met with peace. But what made it worse was how the queen didn't ever regret her choices once. Even after facing the consequences, which had her daughter cursed with doomed immortality. And for that, Aqua despised her mother, wishing upon her nothing but death. Especially at her own hands. However, the only thing that stood in her way was her mother's demand of harvesting a certain man's soul. As the sucker she is, she could never say no. More power is exactly what she craves, and what better way to receive it than killing? Especially now since she bore a soft spot for vengeance.

To Save the World..., de CEBronk

The grass-covered hill awakened with a fury, deluging the cities around it with fire. Those out of reach of the lava received the snowfall of ashes.

With the cracking of the stones and bedrock around the now-active volcano, a plague clawed its way from the bowels of the earth, decimating the survivors of the volcanic explosion. The local priestess, communing with her god, learns the devastation of thousands of lives is simply the start of the cataclysm. How to stop the wrathful destruction? Find the One Who Must Die and sacrifice them, casting them into the mouth of the volcano. Lots are cast and the hunt is on before more people die... ****** This is my first time participating in the ONC. I've chosen prompt #5: Flip the coin and make a life choice with it.

Crescent | ✓, de TheConfusedTurtle

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.
