In a world divided, two kinds of students walk the halls of the great Academy.
The Luminaries-blessed with powers, marked by magic.
And the Unmarked-ordinary, powerless, bound by rules they did not make.
The Unmarked are forbidden to leave, prisoners until the hidden goal is fulfilled. None question it. None dare rebel.
Until Xanthine arrives. She is reckless, loud, and far too curious for her own good. She is reckless where others are quiet, foolish where others are careful. Trouble finds her easily-and so do the whispers. Secrets buried beneath the Academy begin to rise, pulling her toward truths long erased from history.
They say the past is dead.
But the Whispers of Aethelred are stirring again.
And once awakened, they cannot be silenced.
Will she dare to rebel to unfold the truth behind the all whispers of Aethelred?

Lumien
A group of young people with different races and cultures, altogether united for one important mission. They are the only key to save their precious world Lumien from the upcoming chaos that will befall them. What are the truths that unfolds within? Will they be able to succeed in their mission? *** "Lumien is a special place that holds deep in our hearts. And no one can ever take our home from us no matter what. We may be different from each other, we may have water and oil relationships with each other for centuries, we may argue, fight, do unforgiving things but it still didn't change the fact that we all love Lumien. We will fight for our rights and nothing can stop us, no one can steal and control Lumien, not even you, Darkxyney, the Demon-God." Darkxyney laughed and mocked them for his stupid remark. "Bring it on! Even if you have the other weak legendary dragons, hah! Even if you locate that good-for-nothing White Dragon Empress, I will still win and rule over Lumien and then the whole universe! I'll finally be able to replace my darn mother for being the Universe Goddess!" she laughed evilly as if she had won. Everyone looked uneasy as they felt Darkxyney was stronger than before. But the chosen one and his comrades were the ones who stood firm and didn't shiver. "Everyone! Protect Lumien!" Language: TAGLISH Genre: Fantasy/Adventure ALL RIGHTS RESERVED @2022

Red Moon Princess
In a world where every royalty child is born with magical powers, depending on its kingdom, unexpected thing occur as a powerless princess is born in the ruling dynasty. The Sirius Bloodline of the moonlands or as one would like to call it 'Lunalurse'. Time passes and Maria soon turns seven and still doesn't awaken her gift. The King and his Queen find it odd as a royalty child mostly awakens their gift between the ages of 4 and 6. So they strive to seek answers, some deep inside the lunar palace, and some across the realms making long-life friends throughout the way. Would the powerless princess awaken her gift? And if she does what would it mean for her, the realms and everyone else? And what if her long-awaited gift is something no one has seen coming, not even her? And what if this power of hers releases unknown and unwanted guests some the world would have been a better place without and what if she's all to blame? And what if whilst performing her duty of protecting the realms, she becomes aware of the feelings her best friend Ashton harbors for her, knowing her cousin has taken a liking to him for years? Rowan realizes he has fallen in love with her cousin, as well as Zephyr who has fallen for Maria. She finds herself in a turmoil of longing and raw emotions where she has to choose between love or performing her duty. Read it all as it takes place right before your eyes. It's never too late to hop onto the track of fantasies "I might be the princess of the moon, but I can also be the bringer of your doom." ----- All the characters, kingdoms, names, and places are my ideas. Any resemblance to real ones is purely coincidental. The story contains some violence and some explicit scenes of gore, but nothing too bloody or disgusting. Keep in mind, that this is the first book I've ever written, and English isn't my first language. Any mistakes or twists of words are unintentional. I'd do better than this in the future so 🐻 with me.Complete

"But I don't have magic. That's why my parents sent me here. I'm powerless. I'm ordinary." ~*~*~ Imagine growing up in a world full of magic, being able to cast spells left and right, making your deepest desires come true. It sounds amazing, doesn't it? Like a fantasy, a dream come true. I hate to break it to you but that's unrealistic, untrue. The real world just isn't like that, for most people that is. There's the lucky few who are a part of that community, that live joyously in the magical realm, surrounded by magic every waking moment. That sounds fantastic, doesn't it? A living fairytale you could say. For most, yes. Then there's Luna. Luna, despite being involved in the magical realm, never belonged. She didn't have powers so was treated as an outcast, rejected by everyone including her own family. They shunned her and soon banished her from not just their home but the whole magical realm. Now she lives in the human world, going about her everyday life like an average person. She's left her previous life behind and that's just how she likes it. Unfortunately for her, you can't escape your past forever. No matter how much she protests, magic will always be a part of her life, hiding in the shadows, undetected but still there. All she wants to do is complete her final year of school without so many 'unusual' complications. As you're most likely aware, life never goes according to plan. Magic has always been a problem in her life and now it's back to haunt her. All that needs to be said is that she's not pleased. Can't the world just accept that she's ordinary? No, it can't. ~*~*~ *contains mature language*Complete![[COMPLETED] The Academy For Genetically Gifted Children Book One: Genesis](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/96534081-256-k894135.jpg)
[COMPLETED] The Academy For Genetically Gifted Children Book One: Genesis
COMPLETED // Highest Ranking: #12 in Science Fiction As the author I feel the responsibility to warn you of what you will encounter if you choose to read The Academy For Genetically Altered Children series: -a boy whose life depends on a rock -a lurking monster -a lot of sassiness -strange powers -a future that might not be far off from our own -a room full of weapons -strange, vivid dreams -bullies -children infused with animals -students disappearing - SO MUCH MORE // Even among a genetically altered society Andromeda Lovelace, Kai Kinsman, Layla DeStone, and Orion Hornthaw are considered far from normal. The GOP (Government Owned Property) Children were created, their genes professionally selected before they even came into existence. Birthed by surrogate mothers for the government, these four children have to discover just how they came to be, why they exist, and what the New Nation expects from them. At the age of twelve, they each are selected for the Academy for Genetically Gifted Children; an institution for "special" children. There, they will face insane tasks, meet a diverse group of kids and adults, and uncover secrets about themselves, the academy, and the government--ones that might better be kept hidden. Meanwhile, something sinister is haunting the academy's grounds and the GOP Children are facing inner battles of their own: Andi is having drastically realistic nightmares, Kai's life depends on a rock, Layla is hearing screams and whispers, and Rion has secrets of his own. Join the four GOP Children on a journey that may make you question things about yourself, the future, and what is right and what is inhumane in a world that may not be so far off--and maybe, just maybe you'll even see a little bit of yourself in each character. // This is my first novel, so I'm fairly new to this haha. I'm sure there will be the occasional grammatical error so I apologize in advance! I hope you all enjoy it and I am open to any suggestions!Complete
DIORA ZYAN I
*Prologue* The flame hadn't stirred in years. Not when a banshee broke into the dining hall. Not even when someone fed it bubblegum. But tonight, it flickered. Once. Then again. No colour. No glow. Just a soft *hum*, like a secret trying to escape. The ancient cauldron cracked. A sparkless flame curled upward and vanished. Somewhere, a letter found the wrong address... then corrected itself. Somewhere else, a girl rolled her eyes and muttered, "Typical." And far below Aeyshralis Academy, the walls whispered: **"She's here."** Ik this similar to harry potter by not the same 😌 I did everything new and don't copy or steal itComplete

No pressure. Oh, and me? I just hope you enjoy it. Watch out though, because once you start reading, well... good luck stopping. 😏😂

Bite Me ✔
《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends. But, Marcus went away. Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college.. Then one day, he shows up. But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him. But something was very off. Very off, indeed. Cover Design: @newsies- Copyright @tavanalee No Rights Reserved 2018Complete
