(Part 1: Discordant Note | TBATE)
  
Toren Daen entered the Central Cathedral feeling hope, ready to challenge the High Vicar and prove his soul.
  
He left it broken, his wings sundered and torn.
  
But Toren has a spark; an ember of fire left in his heart that the people around him strive to rekindle. And if Fate is kind, he may just rise from this defeat like the ghostly phoenix bound to his soul.
  
Toren knows he can help the world he has found himself in. Now, the only task is to flap the butterfly's wings-because Toren hopes to change the outcome of the Dicathian war.
  
But it will not be so simple. The Scythes loom about him like the blades of executioners, always watching and waiting. The twisted politics of Alacrya have sunk their claws deep into Toren's soul, and though he may set foot on another continent with the hopes of giving the Dicathians a chance, those he cares for will always chain his heart. Arthur Leywin, twin Anchor for the Legacy, will not bend to the change Toren heralds so easily. Seris Vritra has plans of her own for Toren as they enter the war in Darv, and there is no telling if his desires fit anywhere within her schemes. The Hearth looms as a beacon of hope: if Toren lives long enough to make it there.
  
And behind it all, two gods play a game of chess: and they both have a question on their minds as the war of lessers reaches a crescendo.
  
How many times can a phoenix die before it will no longer rise from the ashes?

Volume One: Tear the whole world down (Completed) Volume Two: Soon to be published °°° When the sun and moon join as one, the bringer of chaos shall return and wreak havoc and the realms will return to what it once was... an eternal calm for destruction. That is what the five realms believed. Little did they know that the caelestian that controlled the darkness would be their savior and would bring them peace but that would never happen for the realm of Iracundia. The demons that rule that realm want nothing more than the destruction of the other realms and for them to reign supreme. And so the little caelestian, having no knowledge of what's really at stake, escapes from Iracundia and finds refuge on Terrae. For seven years, Serah had known peace but that is all shattered when a lone soldier attacks her with the same darkness that's just like hers °°° °°° It only took a lie to make me believe it was real... It only took a tear to see what I was going through... Just one promise to make me smile again... But I knew that the biggest lie in this world was promises... I had a soul so broken and betrayed, no one could ever save me... Cause the girl who once believed in fairytales and magic... Had to be struck by reality with demons in my mind and the fear of never being loved... But this story isn't a sad one... it's a real one... It's a story about a girl who fought through a storm she thought would never end

Our Soul Nexus by Kills_withSky
32 parts Ongoing
In the kingdom of Ascar, 17-year-old Ayben begins his second year at the prestigious Dressdardon Magic Academy. This year, he achieves a significant milestone by forming a Soul Pact with Rizel, a mirror familiar from the enigmatic Mirror Realm, a parallel dimension where reflections and illusions take sentient forms. While soul pacts are celebrated achievements that significantly enhance a mage's power, Rizel's cold and distant demeanor surprises Ayben, as such bonds are typically founded on deep friendships. The lack of a strong connection hinders Ayben's Soul-Bound magic, leaving it practically non existent. As Ayben and Rizel confront imminent dangers, embark on daring adventures and navigate the academy's complex magical curriculum, their bond slowly deepens despite their initial conflicts. Meanwhile, Ascar faces escalating threats from the Fae, a mystical race with ancient powers and conflicting agendas. With the kingdom's stability at risk and war with the Fae approaching, Ayben's relationship with Rizel is tested like never before. His evolving feelings for Rizel add further complexity as he strives to balance his personal emotions with his responsibilities. In a world where magic and politics are perpetually at odds, Ayben must push his limits and find a path to peace amid the chaos.
