All Christina ever desired was to find out her mother's secret past that she desperately tried to conceal from her. Determined she would find the answer in her new boarding school, she hurries to search for the answer she seeked. 

But as she entered Jinxel Academy, the school that devotes itself in teaching young magic-weilders to control their magical abilities, she journeys deeper into a realm of magic, light and darkness that she didn't knew even existed! 

Being raised in the unmagical world, she struggles miserably to fit in the school. But that isn't her only problem. 

The biggest problem she had happened during the moon festival. 

There she is accused of a crime and sentenced to death by the four kingdoms that rule over the magic realm. Christina has no choice but to embark on a quest to clear her name, reunite the guardians and revive the most powerful magic spell in the realm. 

The Imperial army hunts her down, the land's most powerful enemy has yet to wake and the deadline has been set.

The unforgiving moon rises over the horizon, the shadows crawl out of every crevice and the spell for eternal darkness has yet to fall.

The festival of shadows has yet to commense.

"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future.

Witchbound 1 by ELKrraz
25 parts Complete Mature
In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.
