The world is a realm of tribulations, evolving and changing constantly. Its history serves as a blueprint of humankind, but few receive the gift of discovering it fully.
Cecilia grew up thinking she's just a quirky girl with a passion for art, struggling to fit the standards of her upper class Norwegian family. Or so she believes until an uncanny event throws her into a sea of confusion: an inner force she's unaware of shatters into pieces the vitrine containing her mother's prized porcelain collection.
Guided by a burning desire for truth and a cranky Augustinian hermit, protecting the remaining goodness of humanity is what makes Cecilia embark on a quest to eradicate all the darkness she comes across.
As she tries to understand herself and her nature while carrying out the tasks she receives from her mentor, hidden truths begin to unravel and her eyes open to a new reality - a world dominated by dark forces and the occult.
Brought to Paris by an apparently easy mission she's faced with yet another strange encounter when a mythical creature chases her down a street. While trying to decipher the origin of the evil snail, she's thrown into a series of increasingly challenging situations.
The aspects she discovers regarding her genealogy and the presence of a mysterious stranger make Cecilia realize that her task won't be so easy to fulfill, especially when the alliances she's forced to form blur out the border between good and evil.
Will she choose to follow the teachings she received and fulfill her purpose or will she get lured into the abyss of temptation?

The Supposed Terrorist
My trial in court was going on and all the evidence pointed toward my crimes. It was a really pointless proceeding. Everyone knew I had committed those sins against the nation. You know, the usual- mass killings, bombings, and all. I felt a bit sad as I heard the sentence of my death. 23 felt no age to die. "The court is adjourned-" The judge was saying when he got cut off by someone's frantic yells. The doors to the courtroom bang opened and a man entered with urgency. He had some papers in his hands and started waving them in the air. "I CAN PROVE HER INNOCENCE, I CAN. I HAVE EVIDENCE!" His voice rang in the room. I stared. _________________________________________ Rico Wayland is someone completely abnormal for her age.

And she is completely aware that she has, in fact, committed those crimes. But what will she do when a man (who she has know clue about) claims to her innocence? How will she discover the thin fine line between reality and illusion? __________ COVER DESIGNED BY: @idknyliraComplete

Rise of Fire: Dragons Reborn [COMPLETED]
The world had long since forgotten the age of dragons, those creatures that had once ruled the skies as gods had long since disappeared after the conclusion of the Great Demon Wars. Dragons became nothing more than a fading legend, a story to tell children at bedtime. But the gods could not let the dragons die, for they were the last defense against the demon armies and the dark god Vekkar. Talia had been born and raised in a world of darkness acting as an agent of Hephatus, goddess of assassins and death. She knew only a life of killing, sometimes for justice, sometimes for honor, always for money. Her morals were opaque at best. But when she's deployed to the city of Arboros she finds herself thrust into a world of political games, opposing powers, and constant threat. Nowhere was safe even for her. Her goals became muddied, and then lost altogether when she meets the Dwarven Prince. Bromyr had spent the last five years of his life chasing ghosts, desperate to find the lost dragon eggs. His people thought him crazy, his father stripped him of his titles, but he never gave up. Eventually his effort bore fruit and he hastily made way to return to his homeland only to get caught up in the city of Arboros. It was there that he met an intriguing half-giant, a woman who ignited a fire everywhere she went. In the end she was the one who inadvertently brought about the new age of dragons. What could go wrong when an ill tempered assassin becomes the first dragon rider of a new age? ***Cover made by annie1loves1you***Complete
Left Alone In Paris
"I never meant to actually miss it!" I squeal to the desk lady, but she doesn't seem to understand my language. Ha, no pun intended! Sorry, I shouldn't be joking right now. "Desole, ma Cherie. Je ne parle pas en anglais, et t'attrape l'aero." I shake my head, "I don't know what you mean." My head turns back and I scan the room for other tourists, but none of them catch my eye. Back to the desk lady, is she a clerk? An attendant, or what? What is she? I slam my fists on the desk, "Get me back to my country! I need to get home, and I don't know why you don't speak English, you work in a freaking airport!" Behind me a ruckus takes place, but I ignore it, "I want my money back if you won't let me go home! I paid for this! I paid a lot to come here, and go home! It was a two-way ticket! Round trip!" And two security guards take hold of my arms, controlling me in their gibberish, and leading me away from the desk. ~ Meet Aria, younger sister, American gamer, cat-crazy, anime-freak, and now stuck in France. Sometimes she does the wrong thing, or her college-age-brother-influenced mind takes over and things just get worse for her. And when her brother leaves her behind while boarding the plane home, everything goes downhill from there. She gets in trouble by security, embarrasses herself in front of several elite students, meets an arrogant French boy... countless times. Who is she kidding, this should be fun! She's stuck in Paris! No. Being stuck in Paris is the worst idea anyone could ever deal with.Complete
