death fantasy grieving journey loss magic ptsd sacrifice war

Our experiences shape how we think. But sometimes that thinking gets us into more trouble than we bargained for.

Elisaria believes surrender is the only way to save those she loves. She clings to that belief, even when the war reaches her corner of the world. Capture and the events that follow make her reevaluate her worldview though, and leave her to grapple with the "why".
Time heals all, but it's also fleeting, moving ever forward. Can Elisaria learn the value of fighting for those she loves before it's too late? Or will the forces of the world overwhelm her?

Rumerra - The Journey Begins by AACrow

Since she was a little girl, Velvet has been reading stories about great wizards and witches of Rumerra's past, wishing every night to wake up one day and be blessed with the affinity for magic herself. Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against her. Both her parents had no magic and thus the chances of her developing it are slim at best. But the gods of fate smile upon her one day when she receives her mark of light, thus becoming a light witch. Acquiring magic is only the first step, however. After this comes the grueling and life-long task of mastering it. We accompany the young witch as she sets out on a journey of self-discovery, full of magic and wonder - or so she thought. Velvet quickly starts realizing that the world of Rumerra is not like the worlds she got to know in her stories at all. Compared to her hometown of Simula, Rumerra at large is vast and unforgiving. From the frigid tundra of the Frozen North to the craggy hills of Eldrasit, and the vast forests of the elven lands, Velvet encounters mercenaries, dragons, and a vast array of other creatures, all of which seem eager to demonstrate that the world is far more cruel and unforgiving than she thought. Good and evil are not so easily told apart, not everyone is to be trusted, friends can die and a happy ending is all but guaranteed. Will Velvet be able to find her place in such a world? Can she become the hero she admired in her storybooks and pass on her knowledge of magic to others as she always wanted? Or will the cruel reality shatter her illusion and bring the girl to her knees?

Just One Drop by bloodrosesthorns

(Book 1 in the 'Blood Drops' series) Five drops for the vampires who drink it. Four for the creatures who relish in it. Three for the strong who take it. Two for the weak who cower from it. One for the humans from whom it is taken. *** This book, along with all the others in this series, was written in a manic creative frenzy when I was about 11-12 years old. I do not consider it quality work, nor do I find it representative of my writing skills today. I will not take it down, because it is still fairly popular and I enjoy reflecting upon how I have developed my writing over the years. All I ask is that if you choose to read the book(s), please take into consideration that this was written by a tween many years ago, and that I am not the same person (or writer) as I was then. Thank you. *** 16 year old Felicia Winters had a life no one would be proud to call their own. No friends and a dysfunctional family; she had been bullied for most of her life. Until the day when she was captured by vampires, and sold to their prince, Braith. As a mysterious bond forms between them, they both deny it and refuse each other. But as Felicia drifts further and further from him, a rift begins to form within Braith, putting him and his entire kingdom- in fact, the whole world- at risk. But will she be able to love the man who has abused her so much? Or has she already found another love? And as a werewolf rebellion brews in the shadows, they are running out of time. Soon there will only be rubble left to rule over. Will Felicia be able to bring peace to the world, or will the kingdom crumble? For just one drop is never enough. Thanks for your votes and comments, they mean the world to me. Please help me with constructive criticism if you can! (Also, I suck at summaries, so sorry about that). Sequel 'Two More Drops' up now! Final edition 'Three Drops Final' up! Cover by @-nightfalls

Shifters by thefallenposeidon

Imagine awakening with amnesia. Most would lose their mind and our Main Character is no different. Though he handles it better than most, his curiosity slowly pulls him into a magical adventure filled with danger, death and sometimes loss on an unimaginable scale to regain what he lost. Will he finally regain his memories and gain the peace of mind he so desperately needs or will it pull him even further into the abyss..... Feel Free to comment. Do keep in mind these are all mere first drafts (especially the first 5 chapters which were created as a teenager) and will be re-edited on completion! Edit - The first few chapters have been fixed, however, the others need a bit of work which they'll surely receive in the coming months! New Chapters every Saturday! (2023) Would love the feedback

|Breach Of Us |Ultimate Edition| BOOK 1| TRILOGY|COMPLETE|16+| by steferine4eva

Monsters Are Created By Other Monsters. Sou & Isabelle, A set of eccentric and unhinged twins with erratic elemental powers has to set aside their differences, control their evergrowing power and win a war in order to protect the only place they call home their academy and other gifted people from being hunted by the beast. - What you're about to read doesn't matter because a sinister force lurks beyond the great graveyard that protects the institution of, for and by the gifted! The first thing you need to understand about this story is it stems from a place of really deep mistrust and an unforgivable betrayal. That's an angry theme. But that all of that changes when we realise there's a lot more to this ever-expanding story! If there are Witches in this universe then obviously there are Witch hunters to just finish them off. There's a rich history or a back story where almost 20 years ago the hunters gathered and removed all existence of witches with elemental magic (Controlling Earth, Fire, Water, Air & Spirit ) but only two survived. That's when the book jumps in to follow the path of those survivors. Um, there are factions of offensive(Elementals) and defensive covens(Guardians) and then there's the elements of epic love, love that consumes the people involved and of course what's love without a little danger. - Thank you so much if you've read this far. I deeply urge you to binge read the book and decide for yourself whether it's unputdownable or not. Thank you so much by the way dear reader. By reading this book you are supporting a plus-sized lgbtqiaap+ community model/writer who has seen nothing but struggle and blatant discrimination everywhere.

Holy Gladiator by CrypticTwinkie

The tale of a priestess turned gladiator after a raid on the village, resulting in her and her compatriots being kidnapped with any other surviving townsfolk to the duke's colosseum. There they are forced to fight or die trying, some not even getting that chance. Death is around the corner at any missteps. Perhaps there is a way out of this. Will the priestess become too corrupted by the gore? Or will she find a way out of this? A challenge I received from a friend, the problem is that the challenge itself is a spoiler, so it'll be placed all the way at the end in case you're too nosey to find out yourself. Be warned there's a good lot of gore, some even drawn out in art pieces, so if you can't look at gore either I wouldn't suggest reading it, though the art pieces themselves aren't good.

House of Butterflies - II: BURN by arryn_sol

The narrative has given them another chance, a new page to rewrite their story. Can an injured butterfly fly again, or is it doomed to fall for eternity? A new timeline. A new chance. Is history bound to repeat itself? - 'The blood of the butterfly had laced into her veins, burning into a longing, a yearning as ancient as time itself.' Katya Hawthorne doesn't know how to love. Duty, sacrifice, martyrdom--that is her destiny. Her frozen heart only knows her younger cousins, nothing and no one else, not even herself. But now they aren't here, and she is forced to confront the truths lying beneath the ice. Theo Hawthorne only knows how to be a chairman and the eldest Hawthorne cousin. Ruthless, powerful, warm to his younger cousins--that is all he is. Without their younger cousins, with only her, he must face the truest desires of his heart. He must face what it means to truly feel, what his ruthlessness will become when flooded with a love the likes of which his soul has never felt. But in the pursuit of rewriting history, they risked repeating it with their own two hands. And the flutter of a butterfly's wings could easily whirl into faithless devotion. - A story that delves into the labyrinth of the heart and soul, where lines between love and sacrifice blur, where love is as reachable as infinity. After all, the tragedy of humans is the innate ability to feel, even if it destroys them. - [Book 2 of 3 of the House of Butterflies series]
