Her memory was taken. 
Her skills were not.
Her very presence is a threat to 
everything he has ever cared for.
They might make 
a powerful team... 
if they don't kill
each other first.

Once upon a time...

In a land where the most powerful can be killed by water, the elite are protected by shape-shifting dragons, and the world is divided into two continents of chaos and false order, a strange girl wakes with broken ribs, three bullet holes in her chest, and a wiped memory, on the front lawn of a manor belonging to an Emperor whose reign is nearing its end.

With no knowledge of who she is, the girl is determined to find answers. But everyone is either tightlipped or seemingly afraid of her very existence. 

When an unknown traitor attempts to assassinate the Emperor right under everyone's noses, the girl finds herself thrown into a world of monsters, magic, peril, and responsibility. 

But one mistake with the Emperor's formidable Guardian could destroy everything.

Silent Heroes: Wildcat by unbrokenworld

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

Seventeen-year-old Adaria Feur is extremely confused when she wakes up in a room with no memory of how she got there, no memory of the powers everyone keeps telling her she has, and not a clue of how to survive a prestigious academy that is actually training teens into becoming agents for a secret organization called F.E.A.R. However, the thing that worries her most is the pair of amber eyes she keeps seeing in her dreams. They're so beautiful, familiar, warm... but dangerous. And she knows that they hold her whole world, whether she likes it or not.

REDEMPTION by Nyctophile_22

2nd Place in The Dragon Fire Awards 3rd Place in Science Fiction in the Tricolour Terrenial Awards. " No one was truly your own in this world.

That's what people do. That's what everyone does. Keep their demons buried and tell lies to keep them buried. And people love so that they can heal, so that they can find relief from continuously battling their demons. To have someone to share their burden with. And havoc occurs when the demon is stronger than your will, when love isn't enough to keep the monster at bay. " A girl, torn between her heart and mind. A boy, set out to avenge his parents. A pair of twins with only one, deadly goal in their life. A country ruled and oppressed by a power-hungry mad man. Will they ever be free?

WHO ARE WE? Dragons or People? (Genesis) by diamondback3

We all know the Government keeps secrets, and most of them have a reason to be just that, secrets. I am part of a military unit, but not your average run of the mill soldier, no. I am a trained killing machine with teeth that can rip a man in half. scales that can stop bullets in their tracks, and wings that allow me to soar over a battle field like a looming angel of death. I am a dragon. I was born of a hell I wouldn't wish on anyone; but I wasn't always like this though... I was forced into this violent role at the age of sixteen on a school competition to New York. It has become my duty now to protect my fellow soldiers and friends in the heat of battle that rages behind the scenes both abroad and at home. We are hunted, but are not petty prey, we can fight back against those with the audacity to come against the rising sea of scales, guns, and armor coming their way... But in the depth of my dreams I still find myself arguing on who the real dragons are. the us with their body's, or the humans with their minds.
