The world of Para Dormus is a complicated place full of dragons, demons, magic and mystery. No one knows that more than Nivara Cross. 

Burdened with a grimoire too powerful to hide with mist magic alone, Nivara longs to help her fellow Traited who struggle with the same fate. But she is powerless to help.

Tasked instead with locating an unusual, black grimoire, truths get tangled together as Nivara struggles to hide her past and her power from those attempting to replace her. With more and more Traited trying to find the lost grimoire of the Night Rider, she has no choice but to involve Hawkins, an unsuspecting detective with an unusual Trait of his own.

As their goals drift apart and the separation proves more than necessary, Hawkins realizes a much bigger threat faces them. A young girl with an unstoppable Trait threatens to disrupt the peace from beyond Nivara's reach.

Can secrets remain hidden and Cricket's power be stopped? Or are Hawkins and Nivara too late to save the black grimoire from her clutches?

Serathor: A World of Magic and Dragons by reesesho
17 parts Ongoing
In the world of Serathor, where dragons and mortals share a bond forged by ancient magic, a forgotten darkness stirs. Long ago, the world was shaped from the fractured essence of Primordia, a being of unimaginable power. From its division came the land, the dragons, and the mortals-each imbued with a portion of its magic. But with creation came destruction, and lurking in the shadows of the Null Sea is Vorathos, a malevolent force seeking to return Serathor to chaos. Valira, a young Dragonbound from the once-peaceful kingdom of Veloria, has always been able to feel the bonds between dragons and their riders. As a Soulweaver, her ability to mend or sever these magical connections is both a gift and a curse. But when she uncovers a mysterious Dragonstone and begins to sense the approach of an ancient darkness, she realizes her power holds the key to saving-or destroying-the very balance of Serathor. Unbeknownst to her, Thalrik, a warrior from the frozen kingdom of Arenfal, carries a secret weapon that could tip the scales. The Blade of Sorrow, a relic capable of severing the bond between dragon and rider, is in his hands-though he does not yet know the devastating power it holds. As their paths cross and the Nihil Brotherhood-a dark cult devoted to Vorathos-seeks to awaken the void, Valira and Thalrik must navigate their growing connection, torn between duty, destiny, and the future of their world. With war brewing between the kingdoms and the reawakening of ancient forces, the fate of Serathor rests in the hands of those who hold the shards of Primordia's essence. Will they rise to defend the fragile balance, or will they succumb to the darkness lurking beneath the surface? The dragons of Serathor are stirring. The world is on the brink of chaos. And only the most powerful Dragonbound can stand in the way of ruin.

Bryce stands at 6'2" and has a thin and lanky but muscular body. Zora felt a tiny piercing pain trying to hit her over and over, but somehow it was blocked. "Where am I?" "Who are you?" Bryce asked sternly, glaring down at Zora. "It's her!" Piper said running onto the field. "That's the girl! She is the girl from my dreams! She is the one to bring Hell Fire!" ~~~~~~~~~~~ Updates every Wednesdays! Participating in: #theseasonalcontest
