The whispering stones of Eldoria by DreamforgeTales
3 parts Ongoing
In the tranquil realm of Eldoria, the ancient stones whisper secrets, their voices a comforting hum to the Stone Weavers, guardians of the land's delicate magical balance. Young Elara, an apprentice Stone Weaver, feels a growing unease as the whispers begin to falter, their harmony disrupted by a discordant strain. When a mysterious corruption takes hold of the neighboring city of Sylvani, silencing their once vibrant Heartstone, the Stone Weaver Council tasks Elara and her steadfast companion, Kaelen, with a perilous mission. Their journey across the treacherous Obsidian Sea leads them to a city shrouded in darkness, where the Sylvani people struggle against a creeping despair. The Heartstone, the source of their magic, is choked by a malevolent force, its once radiant glow extinguished. Elara and Kaelen must navigate the treacherous political landscape of a city on the brink of collapse, uncover the source of the corruption, and restore the Heartstone's power. Along the way, they will face corrupted magical creatures, treacherous political intrigue, and the ever present danger of the corrupted magical forces. Elara must learn to master her growing powers and fully understand the whispers of the stones. Elara and Kaelen must learn to work together, and trust each other, if they are to have any hope of restoring balance to Sylvani, and to Eldoria. The fate of both lands rests on their ability to mend the shattered harmony of the whispering stones.

1 part Complete
In the vibrant heart of Cuba, a young man named Manuel has long dreamt of working at the new Chinese luxury resort that overlooks the turquoise Caribbean waters. When he's offered the position of a lifeguard, it feels as if the universe is finally aligning in his favour. But this isn't just any lifeguard position. As part of his training, he's handed a pair of cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) glasses designed to enhance his capabilities and ensure the safety of the resort's guests. With their sleek design and intuitive interface, the glasses offer Manuel real-time data, from detecting swimmers in distress to predicting potential hazards in the water. His job becomes a blend of tradition and technology, and soon, he's known as the most efficient lifeguard on duty. However, tranquillity at the resort is short-lived. One fateful evening, as the sun dips below the horizon, the serene atmosphere is shattered by an unforeseen threat: terrorists storm the premises, holding guests hostage and demanding ransoms. The resort descends into chaos. Amidst the panic, Manuel's glasses activate an unexpected mode. They begin to provide tactical insights: safe paths to evacuate guests, real-time locations of the attackers, and potential objects to use for defence. What once was a tool for beach safety transforms into an invaluable asset for survival. Guided by the AR glasses and driven by his unwavering sense of duty, Rafael navigates the treacherous situation. "Aquaventure" is a tale of unexpected heroism and a testament to the convergence of humanity and technology during the gravest of circumstances. It underscores the idea that, when wielded right, technology can amplify the best of human instincts - courage, intelligence, and the unyielding drive to protect. This short-story is a tie-in to an upcoming novel series called MEANTIME.
