The year is 1912 and the world's most dangerous airship race is already falling apart.
It was meant to be a test of skill and speed. A spectacle across continents, where fame, fortune, and legacy waited at the finish line. But now the skies are shifting. Maps don't match the ground. Time moves strangely. And something ancient is waking up beneath the clouds.
Captains from across the globe - some real, some almost myth - are chasing more than victory. Including Trevor Rainbolt, who's flying a gambit no one saw coming.
And when reality starts to bend, knowing where you are... might be the least of your problems.

"Grayson. Looking as good as ever." "Madalyn... we had an agreement," Dick responded dryly, dark eyes just barely seeing me. I could tell from the circles under them, something kept him otherwise preoccupied. "We do. But I need your help. And you know that's not something I generally like to admit." He nodded once. "What is it?" "Someone killed me.

Drake of the Northwind
In a world where the echoes of dragons still shake the heavens, one young wizard walks the thin line between water and ice, peace and vengeance. Raised by the ancient Water Dragon Vasserneel and taught the forgotten ways of Dragon Slayer magic, Meliodas Drake once lived a life of calm strength-until the day his mentor vanished into a storm that split sea from sky. Left with only a frozen scale and a pendant marked by a broken rune, Meliodas began a journey across Fiore, chasing whispers of dragons and legends buried beneath the tides. But power has a price. When an encounter with a frost-beast awakens the dormant Ice Dragon Slayer magic within him, Meliodas becomes something new-something the world hasn't seen before. His heart is torn between two natures: the flowing mercy of water and the unforgiving stillness of ice. As he travels the land, crossing paths with mages, guilds, and foes alike, Meliodas must learn to control the storm within him before it consumes everything he loves. For in the north winds, an ancient force stirs-one that remembers the dragons, and the boy who carries their legacy in his soul. Elemental magic. Lost dragons. A hero forged by the tides. The legend of Drake of the Northwind begins.Complete

The King's Counter
The race is over. The hunt has begun. What started as the world's most thrilling airship competition in 1912 has become something far deadlier. The Pacific stretches endless and checkpoint-free ahead of the surviving captains, but they're no longer racing toward victory. They're running for their lives. Ships vanish in the night. Crews disappear without distress calls. Fleets that were supposed to ensure safe passage are now the predators, and every captain who made it this far has a target painted on their hull. The skies still shift and time still bends, but those aren't the worst dangers anymore. When the hunters close in and the pretense of civilization falls away, survival becomes the only prize that matters. Trevor Rainbolt's gambit worked. Now he has to live with the consequences. And in a hunt where the rules change with every sunrise, knowing where you are won't save you from what's coming. (A Geoguessr Fanfiction)

Forest's Fate
An original story about a planet of cats and the troubles that lurk within . . . ~~~~~ Forest used to be an ordinary outdoor cat living on Earth. He thought his only possible problem would be the annoying humans that lived alongside him. That was until a mysterious black cat kidnapped him and many other Earth cats to a completely different planet called Gardinia. Because of that, Forest is whisked into a war between the Superiors, who are cats with super powers trying to take over the planet, and the rebels attempting to stop them to restore equality. Forest is forced to fight for the Superiors. The only way back to his home planet is if he helps defeat the rebels with the other Earth cats, despite his growing sympathy for the cats he is supposed to fight. That, or he loses his memory and will remain in Gardinia for the rest of his life as a mindless minion. That is Forest's fate. ..Or is it? ~~~~~ *If you are reading this on a platform that is not Wattpad, you may be in risk of getting a virus on your device.

BOI i was like twelve when i wrote this and it's so cringy looking back at it, i apologize in advANCE IF YOU ARE STARTING THIS ITS JUST SO CRINGE --------- it has been brought up to my attention about the new Wattpad guidelines. I will write it in here and the chapters that feature some obscure/unhealthy actions, as trigger warnings. I do not condone nor want to glorify any events that happen in this book or any other of my books, so please do not believe I think it's okay. It's not okay. As a person who has been through depression and so forth, I am here for those who want to talk about it. There are also multiple online references/resources, if you are uncomfortable with discussing what is wrong. It's alright and there is help you can seek in multiple forms. Please be safe and remember that nothing can destroy what you have in your heart. You are special and I love you. There are multiple trigger warnings (self-harm, depression, abuse from others) in this story. Thank you for reading this. xx Description: Two worlds colliding. Is that what this would be called, or was it fate? Whatever this was defined as, it definitely changed multitudinous lives. Tabitha Ellis, a fourteen year old girl, has moved all the way from Melbourne, Australia (or wherever you want her to live, this is a fanfiction, but that was where I felt it was right), to LA. One of her first adventures here, was to visit the beach - and, so she did! But not without having an encounter with the one and only; Trevor Moran. One fall could be the cause of a huge mess of massive proportions, positive and negative. Is always going to last forever.... or will something, perhaps someone, get in the way of that?Complete
