For centuries, the Treaty of Silence upheld the fragile balance among the Four Elemental Kingdoms. Pyroxia burned in its ritual fire, Fissarion rose steadfast as ancient stone, Thalassya whispered in the deep tides, and Skalya danced with the winds of knowledge. But peace was never more than a restrained truce.

When Akra, future heir to the throne of Pyroxia, is attacked under mysterious circumstances, the embers of distrust flare violently. The Treaty begins to fracture. Forgotten tensions awaken. And in the shadows of Pyroxia, Emberis, the fallen city, sees its chance to reclaim what once was theirs.

Amid the chaos, whispers of the past unveil a secret long thought buried: the lost bloodline of those who once ruled the fire... and of which Akra is the last heir.

As the kingdoms sway on the brink of war, she must face the truth of her blood, the power that pulses in her bond with Jeyven, and the destiny she never asked for...
But one that has burned within her soul since before she was born.

AIR: Tortaria Has Fallen by DestinyAskins
4 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world that seems orderly, controlled, and familiar, three unlikely friends are about to discover how fragile that illusion really is. Atlas bears the weight of expectations he cannot escape, Staurora perceives patterns the world ignores, and Nazira anchors them when chaos threatens to consume everything. But their realm is far vaster than they know-oceans encircle hidden continents, and at its heart lies a secret land where magic, dragons, and warlocks wield the true power of their world. The life they've always known is only a surface, maintained by forces beyond comprehension. Something ancient is calling. When whispers of Karrmah-the god they've worshipped for as long as time was created, or so they believed-begin to stir in the nether, the trio realizes they have been chosen by something far older and far more dangerous than themselves. Magic, long held in the hidden center, now surges through the seas, imprinting upon those born under the star codes. The silence of the air itself carries the echo of destiny, and the friends must confront the mysteries that have silently shaped their lives... or risk being consumed by them. To answer this calling, they must leave the comfort and predictability of their controlled society-a life carefully governed and safe-and step into the unknown. It is a responsibility they never asked for, a weight they cannot ignore, even as school, family, and everyday expectations demand their attention. Something invisible has chosen them, compelling them to intervene in a realm they barely understand, to repair a fracture that was never meant to be seen. Yet the hidden center of their world, where magic thrums and power has long been contained, is nearing a breaking point. If they fail, the delicate balance that shields their lives-and their entire realm-may shatter forever.
Heirs of Nishtaar by Blackraven0927
19 parts Ongoing Mature
Amyra Shahzeb had always been the perfect daughter-strong for her father, protective of her brothers, and willing to sacrifice her dreams for the family's honor. But when she's forced into a marriage with Ashar Aarez, her world begins to crack. Ashar, a member of an ancient dragon lineage, is no ordinary husband. As the wedding ceremony unfolds, Amyra is thrust into a world of hidden realms, ancient power, and a throne shadowed by blood and betrayal. But the greatest threat isn't Ashar's lineage nor the other dragons, it's Amyra herself, when she discovers what her very own body harbours. Feared by all the dragons for centuries, the entity sleeping inside Amyra is struggling to awaken. What will follow? What exactly is her identity? Is she supposed to die or supposed to rule? ****** As the ceremony progresses, Amyra suddenly feels a burning sensation on her arm, and instinctively, she clutches it beneath her dupatta. She tries to suppress the pain, not wanting to make a scene, but Ashar notices and leans in. His concern is brief, replaced by something darker when he sees the mark now imprinted just below her elbow. Ashar freezes. His heart pounds as the unmistakable symbol of a dragon pulses beneath her skin-the exact same mark he bears. "No..." he whispers, disbelief clouding his voice. "This can't be..." But it is. A thousand thoughts race through his mind, each one colliding into the one truth he can no longer deny: She isn't human. She's a dragon. And not just any dragon-his fated one. Amyra stares at him, confused, but Ashar's gaze is distant, filled with a terror that matches the gravity of the situation. "I thought I was not supposed to," he mutters. "I thought I was the last..." The mark is a prophecy, an unbreakable bond, and one that will forever tie Amyra to a world she never asked to be part of. And to Ashar, who never thought he could find his soul mate.
