"Well, it implies to all kinds collectively. Both of bright land and dark land. The world is roughly segregated into three categories. First where humans reside alongside hunters, second Bright land, where all the mermaids, fairies, Pegasus, etc. creatures of the day live and on the contrary, third, the dark land where creatures of the night like vampires, werewolves, zombies, dragons, etc. live." ------------------------------------But what she didn't know was she has inherited the curse which had destroyed her mother's life before and is about to do the same with her. ------------------------------------ "So I am not a human? I am half dark and half bright land's creature?" "And that's what makes you human. How do you think the first human was born? Humans are hybrids of creatures of dark and light. But the firstborn humans had superpowers. Power no one can control. But with evolution, most humans lost their powers. Some are still left, those are known as hunters, but their powers are nowhere as strong as the firstborns." "So if Damon found out that I am a half-half hybrid, he will kill me?" "Without a doubt." First I couldn't be with my mate because he is a vampire prince and I belongs to a family of werewolves and now this. Fuck my life....... ------------------------------------Complete

Of Shadows and Starlight | E. Peredhel
Set in the world of Middle-earth, during the time of The Rings of Power, Melisane, the youngest sister of Finrod and Galadriel, unlike her sister's mind-reading abilities, possesses the divine gift of prophetic dreams, able to glimpse the future, past, and unseen realms.

In the aftermath of the Elves' flight to Middle-earth, the loss of her brother Finrod, and Galadriel's departure to hunt Sauron, Melisane is left battling grief and feelings of abandonment. Despite her skill as a deadly commander and warrior, she struggles to find purpose, withdrawing from those who care for her as her dreams grow stronger. One fateful day, she stumbles upon a newly hatched, abandoned dragon-just as her dreams had foretold.

Agreeing to help her, he assumes she will eventually let it go, but their shared bond over the creature slowly rekindles their long-lost friendship-and something deeper. As shadows loom once again over Middle-earth, Melisane and Elrond must navigate the growing darkness, all while facing the uncertain futures that their hearts and dreams reveal. Will their newfound connection withstand the threats closing in, or will the starlight of their bond be consumed by the shadows? _ "You sleep coiled; tightly wound. Hands made fists beneath the pillows, clenched above cotton sheets. You are at war, even in your dreams, cenedril af fae nín. Let me help you."
Tome of Whitetree: Book of the Frontier
"The frontier is no longer quiet. Goblin clans crawl from their warrens. Orc warbands thunder along the old roads. Spirits stir in the Boarwood-restless, whispering, dramatically ominous. And beyond the hills... something older turns in its sleep. Something is coming. Something vast enough to make even the wilds hold their breath-and trust me, when trees start holding their breath, it's time to worry. And Sir Gideon Beckett-knight, wanderer, walking catastrophe deterrent-is marching straight toward the center of it all. As he does. I have watched him face raiders, duels, ogres, daemons, and a troll large enough to qualify as a geological feature. He wins-of course he wins-but the omens grow heavier by the day. The shadows deepen. Whispers speak of powers stirring that have no business stirring. What comes next will test the soul of the frontier... and the man who carries the White Tree. I can only hope I'm equal to the task of recording it-and pray the Maker grants us time to breathe before the next disaster arrives on our doorstep. The storm gathers fast and the Frontier braces for it." -Brother Guy of Walnut Hill Abbey, humble scribe, reluctant priest, ongoing survivor of Gideon-related perilComplete
