In the Realm of Shadows and Starlight
Liora thought it was just a childhood fantasy-until the forest called her back.
After stumbling upon an old sketchbook filled with drawings she barely remembers, Liora is pulled into a realm where fairy tales breathe, shadows whisper, and ancient magic stirs. In Lumireth, the mysterious kingdom ruled by darkness and starlight, she meets Lucien-a cold yet captivating lord burdened by secrets and bound to a fading world.
As memories long buried begin to surface, Liora discovers her past may hold the key to saving a realm slipping into silence. But some stories were never meant to stay on the page... and some dreams refuse to be forgotten.
Between shadows and starlight, a forgotten dream awakens.
A romantic, magical fairytale about fate, memory, and finding your place between two worlds.
"I didn't come here to be a hero... I just want to understand why this world remembers me when I forget it." - Liora Evandriel Elowyn
"You weren't supposed to return, Liora. And yet... now that you're here, I fear I won't be able to let you go again." - Lucien Tharandor Vaelith

Supernova
Zora always knew she didn't belong to this world. She didn't even know her real name. She never met her birth parents, having been left in a firehouse as a 6-month-old baby. Zora has bounced from one foster home to the next since she was a troubled child. Bad things, or "accidents" always followed Zora. She always felt like she was one step behind everyone else trying to catch up. Trying to be normal, but Zora is not normal. And never will be. Bryce Cullen is another lost soul in the world. He is also one of a kind. When they first met it was a supernova, two stars coming together in a stellar collision with stellar dynamics. As an evil is looming, threatening to destroy the Earth, can these two outliers save the world with powers neither utterly understand? ~~~~~~~~~~~ Zora could only shiver as: his eyes darken looking at her, becoming more onyx black, and purple bruise-like shadows appear beneath his eyes. Bryce stands at 6'2" and has a thin and lanky but muscular body. Zora felt a tiny piercing pain trying to hit her over and over, but somehow it was blocked. "Where am I?" "Who are you?" Bryce asked sternly, glaring down at Zora. "It's her!" Piper said running onto the field. "That's the girl! She is the girl from my dreams! She is the one to bring Hell Fire!" ~~~~~~~~~~~ Updates every Wednesdays! Participating in: #theseasonalcontestComplete

Roots of Starlight
Raised among humans in a lantern lit village at the forests edge, Lirael has always felt the pull of the forest. Her ears are just a little too pointed, her eyes glimmer with a faint green light, and when the night wind whistles through the trees, she swears it calls her name. Found as a baby wrapped in gold cloth beneath an ancient oak, she has never known who she is, or where she truly belongs. When an old charm left from her infancy awakens with a pulse of starlit magic, Lirael sets out to uncover the lost realm of the forest elves, a people thought long vanished. Her path leads through quaint villages, enchanted glades, and moon drenched valleys, where cozy hearths and soft spoken wonders await. Along the way, she meets a wanderer whose quiet strength draws her heart as surely as the forest draws her spirit. As she journeys deeper into the heart of magic, Lirael must decide what "home" truly means; blood, roots, or the bonds we choose to grow. Roots of Starlight is a tender, romantic fantasy filled with forest light and belonging. A tale of gentle courage, ancient magic, and love that blooms like moonlit wildflowers.Complete
