"You truly are quite observant." he continued. "Quite the credit to most of your kind."

It's true, most magical critics were ultimately failures. There is usually that one trick that could not be explained, thus ending the pursuit of answers. Many critics have hit this line, and have ended up falling into the mind numbed crowd, believing these illusions to be true "magic." I, however, have yet to be stumped.

"I have enough brain to know truth," I responded, "the truth of the nonexistence of magic." 

"You believe that to be true?" he questioned.

We sat there in silence for a long period of time, his question lingering in the air as a hazy mist.

"As sure as you and I are alive." I responded. "As sure as you and I are alive."Todos los derechos reservados

Mirror, Mirror | Twisted-Wonderland de aminiburger

Mirrors has always had the unique ability to reveal one's physical appearance, no matter what form you take in whether you were the ugliest or the most beautiful of them all; it is the only thing that says the truth, yet they only reveal what your mind believes it sees. The more one is convinced by what they see, the more they deny reality; choosing to believe what they see rather than pass it. But alas, not everyone can be trusted-even those close to you.

Illusory de AnneAlysse

I'll never understand why he accepted me as his assistant -- me, a college dropout with the sense of a squirrel. I'll never understand why he won't teach me the magic I want to learn -- me, the stubbornly determined twenty-something who knows where he keeps his spell books. And I'll certainly never understand why he finally decided to love me -- me, the clumsy, stupidly playful girl who can barely handle staying upright in the box when he makes me disappear. I was just your average, failing college student until I met Donovan "Van" Tamerlane -- handsome, rich, and one of the most talented magicians of his time. But with his help, I became so much more -- and together, we saved the world. [Just to warn you, this is my novel from NaNoWriMo 2011, 50,000 words of it written in the first 12 days of the month. It's been edited, of course, but the bulk of it was still written in two weeks (and I'm not the best at revision), so please keep that in mind!]

INFINITY de helidize

Nice to meet you after all these years. You've grown so well. You look like a lot like your your mother. I smiled, getting a little uncomfortable with the comparison to my mother. "I see. I'm glad to give you company". "Thank you dear. It has been 10 years since I got Alzheimer and your mother just left me here. You sound kinder than her". I choked on my coffee hearing what she said, "What do you mean my mother?", I asked shockingly, not caring about respect for that second. "Yes, she used to visit me everyday when you were born. Huh! Sweet old times! Unfortunately, it has been 2 years". She seemed serious, more like disappointed, the real disappointment that one could not fake. I was about to blame her fuzzy logic on her alzheimer but she startled me with just a photo on her phone. A mid aged lady wearing a red dress that revealed most of her neck with her smiling widely, both of them holding champagne, looking like they were about to pass out. I scrunched up my mind a little and tried remembering my mom's face . The last time I checked, my mother didn't have a twin. I kind of grabbed the phone from her and rechecked the photo to only notice that it was taken exactly 2 years ago. I was shocked and tried to put things together but failed miserably. "But my parent's death were 5 years ago. How can my mother still be alive?" A story where a 19 year old girl, Chasey goes on an "uncalled for" adventure to find the last puzzle piece she craved for, all her life. Is she desperate? Yes. Will people show the same interest as her in finding their own unique mystery, investing their time and money? No. Why did she chose to? especially when it's not do or die. Because it was a need for her not a want. Word count - approx 28000

✿ The Splintering ✿ de NASATraveler

Beloved "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine" de PrincessAixa

I have always been a hopeless romantic, always daydreaming of my prince charming to come, sweep me off my feet and we would ride off into the sunset to our happily ever after. When you're a princess this type of idea could be possible but not in my case. I'm not your typical princess, yes I wear a crown, fancy dresses and like sparkles but I also love archery, riding my horse and escaping from the castle ever so often. At times I want to be able to get away from all of the responsibility and have an adventure, meet someone new, fall in love. But with a stern father, a stuck in the middle mother, crazy sisters and a captain of the guard that wont leave me alone, how can I accomplish my dreams. So what do I do? I do what I what I always do. I escape the castle walls and go to my private little spot in the forest. Only this time its different.......I meet someone who turns my whole world upside down, my beloved. In the Kingdom of Quisqueya ... what could possibly go wrong?

Lost in Doctor Strange's Universe de AizahShokora

"Something is not right here," I muttered to myself as I scanned my surroundings. And here I am between the dark and damp alleyway with not knowing where I was and no sense of direction registered in my brain. I'm used to memorizing my route but this time, it feels odd. "Indeed." someone responded from behind my back. The muscle of my heart pounded more than ever as a stranger just responded to my question. Out of nowhere, in the alleyway. Judging by his tone, he seems surprised. "You don't have to be afraid. Don't you recognise me?" the stranger asked. 'Recognised. Me?' I thought and still standing at my spot without making any movement. Who is this guy? . . . . Me learning the art of magic from the Sorcerer Supreme? That would be awesome!! Not to mention to uncover the mystery about the legendary bird, Pheonix? Count me in. By the way, who is he? I'm Izzah and this is my story. P/S: I do not own Doctor Strange and any of the MCU's characters, just me, Phoenix, Z and other non-existent characters that do not exist in MCU Dr Strange. Annnnndd this is fan fiction.

The Duns de magicmonster1000

READY TO READ <3 "...It was as if a spirit had taken control of my body. I was lifted into the air, my arms widespread, my head automatically tilted back. There was a bright, eye-blinding light surrounding me. I could hear the voice now. It said my name. And then, it stopped. Oh no. No, no, no! It was true. It is true. And the voice, as if it had been reading my mind, announced to the impatient audience: "Peter O'Connor. Exceptional fighting skills; Sharp hearing; No need to breathe; Element: Fire." On turning seventeen, Peter O'Connor, forced by his step-father, swears his loyalty to Oi Alloi, a secret society for men with powers and in the span of a single second is forced to admit that there lays a sleeping dragon hidden behind this already shocking community- a dragon who's silent slumber has lasted a year too long. To add on to it, an old enmity suddenly surfaces, a girl supposedly filled with love turns out to be filled with secrets, and of course, there's the loyal friend, who's not so loyal anymore. Cursed or not, these powers can either break him, or make him- save him, or destroy him- and the choice is only his to make... Best Ranking: #4 in Secret Societies

House of Magic de Oletus

"...And what of Modern Magic, Harry? Does it not live up to your expectations?" Harry stared at the guy in front of him, his jet-black hair and green eyes lie dormant in the dark room. Compared to the guy in front of him, whose soft silvery-white hair and iris-less blue eyes shine in the dark. "...It is a bit disappointing." He said as the guy chuckled. "Hah, it's meant to be 'balanced'. It's bound to laws that differentiate between good and evil." He says with a gleeful tone, smiling ear to ear with narrowed eyes. Harry scoffed. "Still, it's useful in a way. How about that Ancient Magic of yours? Any way we can use it to track him?" The guy nodded. "Of course, you just have to ask!" He said with a mischievous smile. Harry then nodded, before closing the book. "Good. Let's get going then. We only have a few days left." "Hehe, oh, but of course, dearest Potter~!" Harry flinched and smirked hearing that. "Heh, contain yourself, dearest Desaulniers." . . . What are the fundamentals of magic? Many seems to not know what magic truly is, even the renowned witches and wizards. Magic might be an Art, a Weapon, a Gift, a Curse, anything, really. But what magic truly is, is just that. Magic. There is no hidden context, magic is magic. Curses are just restrictions, and we know it. Magic is something that thrives of mystery. If you don't know about it, it grows stronger. Which is why the First Magician decreed the Deep Magic, to bind magic into the essence of the wild. But we know the truth. For I was there when it was written. And I am here now, where it will be annulled. The old age of Magic is now gone. We are entering a new era. Where magic, is just magic. Until all, are one. IKHGHEAN DAOTHNODE, TILTUHENDRU.

Star of Blood de PersonWhoBook

[Entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest with prompts 1 and 20!] "Truth is, there are no innocent people in this world. Never has been, never will be." Jude was born on the day when Alucinatio, the Star of Blood, lit up the night sky. Following the prophecy of the star, he was raised to become the great saviour of the sorcerer kingdom Mendax. And Jude became exactly that, honing his magical powers and challenging the reign of the Empire of Dorobo like a mere walk in the park. Despite having this popularity and praise, though, the empty Jude still desires something more than fighting the same enemies and saving the same people every damned time. And then everything changes after meeting Prema, a young lady of the Hantri tribe. Upon getting to know her, Jude becomes conflicted; Prema is nothing like the savages in the stories he's been told. In fact, Jude starts losing the ability to hold on to his beliefs. Should he trust his friends and family? Should he listen to his enemies? Through magical scuffles and internal struggles, Jude strives to figure out who he's truly meant to be, who the "good guys" of this world are. With rising tension between civilizations, however, such a task is way harder than it sounds. But then he learns the truth. The truth about the kingdom, the empire, and the tribe. The truth about magic in this nation. The truth about people.
