In a world shattered by a cataclysmic event known as the Great Divide, five unique continents-Saven, Thune, Requen, Yevin, and Ohen-struggle to find harmony amidst the chaos. Each land is home to diverse civilizations, from the pacifist Savenese who commune with nature to the technologically advanced Yevinese who thrive in their bustling metropolises. But as ancient rivalries and deep-seated prejudices threaten to tear the fractured world apart, a new darkness stirs in the shadows, threatening to engulf all in its path.
Amidst the turmoil, a young Savenese named Nighe Fernglen embarks on a perilous journey to unite the disparate peoples of Ethereal and restore balance to their world. Alongside him stand Nailen Storm, a sailor and scholar from the undersea city of Pearlhaven, and Draven Sunshadow, a Terrestrial Requenese with a mysterious past. Also joining their quest is Thalia Techstride, a Yevinese engineer determined to combat the pollution plaguing her homeland, and Zephyr Dawn and Aurelia Dawn, siblings from Ohen who wield the powers of light and darkness.
Together, they must confront their own inner demons as they seek to overcome centuries of strife and mistrust. But as they uncover the truth behind the Great Divide, they realize that their world faces a far greater threat than they ever imagined. A malevolent force, awakened by the cataclysm, seeks to plunge Ethereal into eternal darkness, corrupting the very fabric of existence itself.
With time running out and the fate of their world hanging in the balance, Nighe and his allies must race against the clock to uncover the secrets of their past and unlock the power needed to save their world. Along the way, they will forge unlikely alliances, confront ancient evils, and discover the true meaning of courage, sacrifice, and redemption.

Blood Roots - Bound to the Bayou
Three 16 year old's. One witch. Two Vampires. A murderous Sheriff. One small town hiding something far more dangerous than all of them. Welcome to Mound Bayou. ---------------------- Mound Bayou infamous Sheriff Grant wasn't too keen on asking three untrained supernatural 16-year-olds to help save their town. Despite their unique abilities, the young heroes didn't answer his request with a "Yes Sheriff, it's our duty!", like one would think. And how could they? The three were busy untangling the tight lipped secrets and lies they had been told all their lives; combined with the pressures of school, dating, friends and covert rivals, kept them pretty busy. Shouldn't the Sheriff's 20+ years of experience fighting supernatural beings make him more than qualified in keeping the town safe? Most would agree with that statement, but this new enemy was different. This new opponent wasn't just faster or stronger, Sheriff Grant has been tangling with the best of the best since he was a rookie on the police force. So, while our young heroes and the sheriff were busy battling it out with the Towns Torturer and his crew. Unbeknownst to them a new foe had been hiding in the shadows, studying the sheriff, the townsfolk, and any potential threats that could hinder a hostile takeover. Developing a meticulous and methodical plan to seize the town's best kept secret, The Bayou. "What if I don't want to be a hero, save your damn selves!" - Jachobrin What the Author hopes?

A Chronicles of the Fantasia Continent
Two divine sisters tore a newborn world apart-and left mortals to decide its fate. From the Creator's dream rose Aeliana, Goddess of Dawn and order, and Nyx, Queen of Shadows and possibility. Their rivalry, once a distant celestial dance, became open war. Lesser gods chose sides. The sisters descended and forged champions: the radiant Aethra and the fearsome Umbrals-masterworks so specialized that, in some gifts, they rivaled their makers. Stars went dark. The earth split. In grief and fury, the Creator bound His daughters deep beneath the world. The land took a new name: Aethelgard-the God-Prison. But their armies fought on. Seeking balance, the Creator spent his last spark to make Humanity-creatures of compassion and cruelty, capable of mediating light and shadow, and, through discipline, of climbing toward godhood itself. Apotheosis became the ultimate mortal dream. A thousand years of uneasy peace followed. Ambition broke it. The War of a Hundred Races redrew the map in blood. From the ruins rose seven powers, with fragile city-states between them. In secret, Aethra and Umbrals manipulated the living like pieces on a board. Now the stalemate frays. Old songs stir. Hidden weapons wake. Heroes and monsters-sometimes the same-move in the dark to claim a future neither goddess could foresee. Welcome to Aethelgard, where gods are buried, mortals reach for heaven, and one choice can unmake a world.
Zenith: Hero's Journey
"Do you know what every hero has in common? They bleed, they suffer, they save the world-only to be broken, forgotten, left to rot. Not a single one gets peace. Not a single one gets a happy ending. But me? I will end this cycle. I will give the world a better story-one where the heroes win, and finally get the ending they deserve." In the fractured world of Zenith, where divine relics pulse beneath the earth and rifts spill nightmares into the sky, fate forges an unlikely alliance to defy annihilation. Valen, a rare Pantheon from Corinthia, is gifted with the Hero's Journey-the power to relive and wield the strength of long-dead heroes. At his side stands Ashley, a Flameborn forged in discipline and duty, a steadfast protector whose fiery will shields her allies. With them is Riley, a charismatic Verdant whose humor and warmth mask a deep empathy. But their fragile balance is threatened by Nyx, an enigmatic Azrael bound by an unsettling connection to the very rifts they fight to destroy. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the rifts and the power hidden within their souls. Yet in a world where memory is power and prophecy a weapon, every step forward draws them closer to becoming another tragedy in the endless cycle of forgotten heroes.

Bound by Stars
In a galaxy far from Earth, where stars sparkle like jewels in the sky and vast alien worlds pulse with life, two species stand on the brink of conflict. The Z'hara, majestic winged beings who thrive among the skies of a lush, vibrant world, and the Thalirians, aquatic creatures of unmatched grace who live beneath the surface of distant oceans, have always lived in parallel, separated by the vastness of space and their very different environments. But the delicate peace between them is now threatened by an emerging danger-an unknown cosmic force has begun to tear the fabric of their worlds apart, endangering both their people and the natural resources they rely on to survive. When a cataclysmic event forces the two species to confront the reality of their impending destruction, two individuals from opposite sides of the galaxy are thrown together. Ciela, a brave Z'hara warrior whose wings carry her high above the clouds, is sent to the depths of the ocean on a mission to save her planet's future. Kaelen, a mysterious and gentle Thalarian, is tasked with safeguarding the fragile ecosystems of his world. Though they come from different realms, neither can deny the pull of something greater than their responsibilities-a connection forged by fate and, perhaps, something even older than the stars themselves. As danger looms closer, Ciela and Kaelen's growing bond, despite the overwhelming odds, begins to transcend the boundaries of their species and cultures. But as their feelings deepen, so too does the resistance from their peoples-unwilling to accept such an unprecedented union. In a galaxy torn by ancient prejudices, will love be enough to bridge the divide, or will they be forced to sacrifice everything for the survival of their worlds?Complete
Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite)
In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.Complete
6 Dragon Isle
"Imi, I love you." Dragons are people too, but many seem to overlook the fact. In the Four Realms, all full dragons are shifters, able to take the shapes of the other six sapient species as they desire. When Imi, a half-dragon priestess of the goddess of life, and Lyle, also known as Lylnetrath, a full-dragon paladin in the service of the goddess of justice, fall in love, a whole world of dragons is exposed, kindling love and community and simultaneously drawing ire and hatred. A story of some of the dragons of the world of the Four Realms, featuring some characters already known from my earlier published stories and many others who are new. This story has three distinct parts, that of Before, told in five chapters, an Interlude, told in its entirety, and that of After, told in 17 chapters. The story is followed by several short epilogues. Part 1, part 2 and the epilogues are all told in the 3rd person. The interlude is told in the 1st person. It can be read as an independent story but some of the character backgrounds are not included and thus a few details might be a little confusing, but this should not detract from the overall story. To find my earlier stories, please visit https://www.wattpad.com/user/Josephclive99 This story contains references to sex, marriage, birth and labour, genocide, murder, delusions and extreme mental confusion, and the (magical) manipulation of people's minds. It also contains fantasy-fiction parallels to racism and hatred based on appearance, although almost all the characters are dragons and are not human at all. The tale uses the words, mad, and madness, as setting-appropriate references to mental ill-health. Note that the cover image is not owned by me. Update: if you enjoy this story, check out the parallel tale, The Dragon Isle's Mage, https://www.wattpad.com/story/403565048-the-dragon-isle%27s-mage-part-1Complete
The Reluctant Cougar (Rise of the Alpha King's Heir)
*Complete but still subject to edits* Ben Cougar and Eileen Grau have been best friends since they were kids. For the young cougar-shifter, it was love at first sight. For the ostracized Vampire girl, it was good to have a friend--even if he was six years younger. Time changes all things, however, and when Eileen comes home from college Ben is no longer "little" in any sense of the word. He has a young man's body, a young man's desires, and he's done letting other men break his woman's heart. Ignorant people might call her a cougar, but if Ben has his way, soon everybody will be calling her Mrs. Cougar. Shapeshifter x vampire Older woman x younger man *** A few notes: This story takes place in the late '90s/early 2000s. This is a prequel, and while it does lead into the next story it can be read as a HEA standalone. This is an instant-love, slow-burn story that will include dirty talk and some some tamer aspects of kink-play as the characters' relationship progresses. Also, because I want everybody to have a happily ever after, this story will occasionally take detours into the minds and relationships of the side characters. I hope you enjoy! ***** #1 in cougar 8/2/21 #1 in olderwoman 12/8/21 #1 in youngerman 11/20/21 #1 in fatedlovers 8/2/21 #1 in bloodmates 12/27/22 #5 in loveconquersall 11/5/23 #9 in energy 12/8/21 #12 in empathy 12/8/21 #12 in nineties 11/5/23Complete
