A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead. - Article One, Section One, The Dragon Rider's Codex

"Anyone else feel like changing their mind?" Xaden shouts, scanning the remaining rows of cadets with the same shrewd gaze of the navy-blue dragon behind him. "No? Excellent. Roughly half of you will be dead by this time next summer."

The formation is silent except for a few untimely sobs from my left. 

"A third of you again the year after that, and the same your last year. No one cares who your mommy or daddy is here. Even King Tauri's second son died during his Threshing. So tell me again: Do you feel invincible now that you've made it into the Rider's Quadrant? Untouchable? Elite?"

No one cheers.

Another blast of heat rushes - this time directly at my face - and every muscle in my body clenches, preparing for incineration. But it's not flames... just steam, and it blows back Rhiannon's braid as the dragons finish their simultaneous exhale. The breeches on the first-year ahead of me darken, the color spreading down his legs.

They want us scared. Mission accomplished.

"Because you're not untouchable or special to them." Xaden points toward the navy dragon and leans forward slightly, like he's letting us in on a secret as we lock eyes. "To them, you're just the prey."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Whose that?" 

"Rhae Sorrengail, the forgotten daughter. She's Violet's twin, they're nothing alike though. Violet is the calm before a storm, and Rhae is the hurricane. The anger and stubbornness of that woman are insane."

"God forbid she and Xaden stay in the same room for too long. Someone would likely end up dead."

Bubblegum- Bodhi Durran by mikaelsondaughter

"As soon as you make it into the quadrant I want you to find Xdean Riorson and Bodhi Duran. Both are gonna take care of you and will show you around." My father said leaving me confused as to how he knows the two marked kids. Before I could say anything else, he handed me a journal. His journal from when he was still a rider. A journal that was almost six years old. "Hide this very well, don't let anyone know that you have this." He said before letting me shove it into my rucksack. "Read this when you're alone, before threshing." _______________________________________________ Isabella Rosewood was a strong and intelligent woman. She was mostly known for her beauty, every man was mesmerized by her, and every girl was jealous of her. Being Christopher and Freya Rosewood's daughter meant she has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders, she couldn't let her parents down. When she entered the quadrant she noticed how many eyes were on her, some deadly but some kind. But one eye in particular caught her attention. Bodhi Durran's eye. He promised her father to protect her, even though she was a very strong and ruthless fighter. Her father wanted to make sure they were some extra eyes on her. But when she finds out a huge secret that her father had written about in his journal, which he handed to her and ordered her to read and hide very well. Everything changed. This book contains spoilers for fourth wing and iron flame!!!

Her enemies fear her. Her instructors warn about her. And Xaden Riorson-lethal wingleader with shadows in his eyes-can't seem to stay away. With war looming, and a rare power awakening within her, Rose must decide what kind of rider she'll become-and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect what's hers. In Basgiath, only the ruthless survive. And Rose Sorrengail was born to conquer.

Crown of Ashes by FruitSnackFreak

The story of Elowyn Tauri, the Navarrian Witch GarrickTavis x OC *Disclaimer: I own nothing apart from the characters I have created for the story's sake. Also, I have not published anything in a very long time. I've written ideas down here or there, but they are almost always scrapped due to my crazy imagination. Depending on my motivation, I'll try to update weekly, sometimes even multiple times a week. I've been writing pretty much non stop because I can't stop thinking about this story line. Thank you for reading :) All images created by an AI unless otherwise stated

After a life of suffering, you die and awaken in the world of My Hero Academia, your favorite anime. But something's wrong. The characters you thought you knew are acting strangely erratic. Unpredictable. Is this a dream come true, or a new nightmare?
