***This is a second draft of a story I posted earlier****
Cecil Sebastian has always been a strange kid. Orphaned from birth and cursed with perpetual bad luck, he always assumed that his life was doomed towards mediocrity. Until he meets a Demon-killing girl who possesses incredible powers. Suddenly, Cecil's world, quite literally, changes. Suddenly, everyone wants Cecil Sebastian. Thrust into a world he doesn't fully understand, Cecil and his friends, or in some cases grudging companions, must battle foe after foe to obtain the "Keystone", a mythical object professed to contain indescribable magical power. Cecil must learn to master his magic before he is killed- or worse. Told from four unique points of view, this story describes Cecil's discovery of magical realms that he never knew existed.

When I realised it was... Xavier? Who tackled me, I started to struggle in his hold, but I couldn't get out. "Calm down I'm not going to hurt you." He said softly with a small smile. I snorted, that's what they all say. "No, you're not, but I'm going to hurt you." I replied before bringing up my leg and kicking him where the sun doesn't shine. This caused him to roll off of me and I jumped up. so quick I nearly missed it, Xavier stepped forward and grabbed me so my back was pressed against his chest and his arms were holding my arms by my sides. I struggled, but that's when I realised, I'm too short to ram my head into his chin, my arms were held down and my legs completely useless. I. Was. Trapped.* The Werewolf And The Shapeshifter, it was fate at its finest If you want the full prologue read the werewolf and the shapeshifter...I would appreciate it ;) Warning: there will be swearing and some mild other crap

This was too much, way too much. In half a day, my life had been turned upside down. Just as I was about to fall, the raven transformed into a boy and caught me. The bird had just turned into a boy. What the heck? What was an Avian doing on Lupine territory? * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * After much debate, I decided to discontinue this second book and series. I love the world and I built and the characters with all my heart but the writing is incredibly outdated and the plot progression is all over the place. I may reuse these characters in the future, but this series has come to an end. I'm sorry to the people who wished to see the story continue, but I hope you'll be able to join me on future fantastical journies once I have time to write more! * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * First Published: Dec. 20, 2018 Finished: Mar. 31, 2020 Finished Publishing: 5-23-2020

7 parts Ongoing
[PREVIEW ONLY] WATTYS WINNER 2023 | Sixteen-year-old Felix Carver carries the ghosts of magicians in his blood. He can communicate with them and use the magical abilities they wielded against monsters when they were alive. His newfound power would be pretty cool, if the ghosts in question weren't his family and the man who killed them. Death doesn't stop Felix's siblings from finding new ways to annoy him from beyond the grave, nor his parents from doing their best to protect him from the dangerous side of his new life. Felix learns that his family belonged to an organization of magicians called the Bright Guardians, while their killer was a part of the Guardian Uprising that tried to overthrow the organization eight years earlier. The Bright Guardians take Felix in, hoping they can train him to fight monsters and control the ghosts living inside of him. Felix barely understands the magical world his family kept secret from him, but he does make friends with other odd cases at the Bright Academy. Troublemaker Arisa Tamura is struggling to control her ability to animate objects while under the influence of cursed bracelets, while the smart but reserved Mason Briggs is a witch who was transformed into a demon as a last resort to save his life. Together, the three of them realize that Uprising spies are still hiding among the Guardians. They have no idea who they can trust, but they do know who they can't: a Guardian named Ernest Abernathy, who stole a powerful wand from Mason's parents before killing them. Felix, Mason, and Arisa must construct a plan to steal back the wand without any help. If their plan fails, Ernest will turn the Guardians against them and have them locked up, or executed. If they succeed, they'll have one more weapon in the fight against the Uprising's army. Either way, the approaching war is inevitable. Be warned this book contains death, violence, and an above average amount of spiders.

Mephistopheles [Manhattan Demons #1]

23 parts Complete

A fourteen-year-old Joanne "Jo" Yang is against her family in migrating to the United States and settling down in Manhattan. The big city has more than what she needed, and more isn't always good. What if their house is cursed? What if demons are real? What if... the house is possessed by a demon? Yes, Manhattan has it all. Meet Faruziel, Baron of the Fifth Circle, House of Thagirion, Acquisitor of Homes. As ridiculous as it sounds, he's bad news. But of course, there's always a way out. Some die. Some pray. Some, like Jo, choose to fight - but in the most unimaginable, literally damnedest way there is, for there is no better trick against a demon than to learn their trade... *This story is complete but I'm still editing/polishing it*
