Rings: symbolic of eternity, continuance, and the cyclical nature of reality -

Ring World is, at its core, a story of two people. Paracelsus, a young man, an alchemist and a former revolutionary, and Serpacinno, the last surviving member of her people, and staunch, no nonsense swordswoman. Together, they form an unstoppable team, sure to change the world.

After a chance encounter at a bar, these two form the beginnings of a crew, picking up the odds and ends of society along the way on their quest. What is their quest? To head to the center of each shell (large, target-like structures found on each face of the earth), and collect the treasure that lies there - a piece of a legendary sword, named Kósmeidí.

Speaking of, the world they find themselves in is one of great magic. Humans aren't alone: animal hybrids, fairies, giants, and even those regarded as angels and demons populate this grand planet. Even the structure itself is different, instead of continents, they find themselves on a world composed of six large land structures, each in the shape of an ever-narrowing series of concentric rings.

42 parts Complete
Primsharah will become the center of a deadly play, with the powers of the gods themselves at stake ... *** Refusing to watch his family crumble beneath the weight of poverty, Arran has resorted to stealing from the rich to provide for his mother and sister. His ability to bend light prevents him from being caught ... until one day, he is. His captors have no intention of turning him in, though, instead making him an offer that he cannot resist, but which will change the course of his future forever. Meanwhile, Princess Serafina, heir to the throne of Primsharah, welcomes an unusual suitor in the royal palace. This stranger brings a dangerous gift for her father: the Sphere of Truths, one of the ten World Artifacts, created by the gods themselves. As the Shah sinks deeper into his obsession with the Sphere, Inna starts experiencing visions about a thief stealing another Artifact, the Amulet of Doom. A deathly curse is bound to the Amulet, and its theft will set in motion a series of events which might destroy Primsharah for good ... and the world along with it. Together, Arran and Inna flee across the desert to find out who is stealing the Artifacts and why. But Arran's time is limited as the curse flows through his veins, with no hope for salvation save for the stubborn princess who is determined to see his survival. Magic, desert and creatures of myth weave a tale of fragile hope, large-scale betrayal and fierce friendship between two people whose fates should never have crossed paths at all.
The Chronicles of Virdar : Genesis  (Vol. 1) by cosmosdw
42 parts Complete Mature
In the timeless realm of Virdar, a secret lies buried beneath the scars of a forgotten war. Seven ancient giants, each embodying a primal element-Water, Air, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Ice, and Nature-were created to protect this mystical land. But a curse of unknown origin turned them into enemies, igniting a devastating conflict that reshaped the world forever. From the ashes of the giants' fall emerged the Deviants-beings of pure, destructive power-and the scattered remnants of their elemental hearts gave rise to seven mysterious amulets, each brimming with untold potential. These relics, whispered to hold the key to salvation or ruin, were entrusted to the newly created humans, who now live under their shadow. As the balance of Virdar falters once more, the heirs of the Grimwore, Fairytold, and Wright families uncover a chilling prophecy: the rise of the Deviants is only the beginning. Among the amulets lies one that should never have existed-the Amulet of Nature, hidden away by Hearsay, a celestial being whose forbidden creations carry a legacy that both binds and threatens the fate of all. When six chosen heirs set out to uncover the Amulet of Nature, they awaken forces beyond their comprehension. Betrayals, ancient truths, and celestial powers converge in a battle where even victory comes at a price. A single word, Evanescet, spoken by an enigmatic figure, alters the fabric of the realm, but the scars of war remain-a haunting reminder of what was lost. What secrets lie within the amulets? Who cursed the giants, and why? And what will the heirs discover about themselves and the fragile world they are sworn to protect? Mysteries abound, alliances crumble, and destinies are rewritten in this gripping tale of elemental power, hidden legacies, and the relentless pursuit of balance.

James remains devoted to Regulus, despite his siren nature. Sirius and Remus refuse to be parted. Pandora and Lily embrace their love, while Alex gives up his mermaid existence for Mary, leaving piracy behind to build a new life.
