adventure elements friendship immortality magic monsters

Mankind has always been fond of legends. Stories of terrible creatures, of daring rescues, of powerful magic. Alas, humans and their world of science have never been able to attain such power - or the one thing mankind most desires: immortality. After all, such things have no place in this world. If such creatures were to exist, they would surely be monsters.

Meet Gilly. She's what one might call a monster. A young teenager by appearance, she is actually a being that has existed for more than 700 years. As one of eight immortals holding the raw power of the world, she's also got her work cut out for her keeping up that streak. For humans, in all their greed, are not the only things searching for power.

As the illusion of science begins to dim, the side of the world that has been hidden for far too long begins to emerge once more. For all of their achievements, mankind is woefully unprepared for the horrors that await them. Gilly is one of the few standing between humanity and her own kind in the mounting conflict, setting both against her and the other seven. In order to save humanity, she must first save herself.All Rights Reserved

His Heart, Mine by venuserve

She swears she hates him. He's convinced he hates her more. But when secrets, lies, and late-night whispers begin to blur the line between enemies and something they wouldn't even consider, neither of them is ready for what's coming. *** Aliana is loud, impulsive, and dangerously unpredictable. She lies when she's scared, smiles when she's breaking, and keeps everyone away with her endless sarcasm and sharp tongue. She doesn't need anyone. Especially not him. Ali is silent storms and cold stares. The boy with the bad reputation, a past no one talks about, and a temper that makes people flinch. He wants nothing to do with drama, especially when it wears red lipstick and calls him names. They can't stand each other. So why do they keep ending up alone in the same room? Why does every fight feel like foreplay? And why does hating him hurt more than it should? ~~~~~~ He kisses me, again and again, raw and consuming, and then pulls away; I can feel his green eyes piercing my soul. "What you told me last time, say it again," he whimpers breathlessly. "What?" I manage to ask, confused, and reel him in again for another kiss. He pulls back again, his breath hot against my skin. "That you hate me, tell me that you hate me." "I hate you," I tell him almost instantly, the lie burning on my tongue. He kisses me harder and more hungrily, and the words slip out again from my tongue: "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." His murmurs deepen into groans, and at this exact moment, I ask myself how I'm still standing, still breathing, still present. ~~~~~~

Enli's Impossible Quest by ZeraDragen

Since the time of its founding, the Kingdom of Gh'mia has endured an endless siege from a ceaseless horde of monsters. Every year, thousands upon thousands of soldiers and civilians are slain at the hands, teeth, and claws of the chimeric beastmen, a force of destruction that is ever fought, but never defeated. Yet hope remains, for though the victims of the terrible onslaught have long since accepted their fate, the right person in the right place may be all it takes to set them on the course toward salvation. Enli, a young woman who, as a child, survived the destruction of her home village, has trained since an early age as a member of the volunteer militia of her adopted home. Working as an assistant to both a wizard and a blacksmith, she has found a life she is contented with, but destiny has other plans. On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Enli is tasked by a being she calls "The Light" with saving not only her kingdom, but the entire world from the threat of the beastmen. Determined to see the quest fulfilled, she sets out in search of a hero more equal to the task. First in the series The Careworn Soul, Enli's Impossible Quest is a tale of action and adventure in a world of magic and monsters that explores the idea that not everyone was meant to be a hero.

She is a monster, a nightmare, a killer, who dreams of an ancient battlefield and a different, brutal world where stars fall and dark blood stains the earth. Kye Merran is an Ember, one who wields fire magic. When a childhood friend shows up at his house with a strange girl who is bleeding black blood, he knows that he's getting into something he definitely shouldn't. Especially when the Dark King of Rurik, who may have much more to him than it seems, is looking to conquer another kingdom or two, preferably with a powerful, dark queen at his side. But Kye can't seem to stay away from the mysterious girl with the blood of Darkness. And Val can't stay away from Kye either, no matter how much she claims that she hates him. As Val, Kye, and their friends race to stop the Dark King and his approaching army, what they don't realize is that they are playing a part in an ancient, deadly game, a game between the light and the dark, one years in the making. But it is a game which neither of them can win, for their fates have already been determined by the desperate Gods, written in blood among the stars.

Maybe she was the sweetest princess. And maybe not. She had many suitors, but she did not accept a single proposal for her hand in marriage. She didn't want to become a king's wife, she wanted to be a queen and rule her country. But one day darkness crept into the happy kingdom. A thick fog crept through the forest. Shadows walked under the treetops. The Shadow Lord came to propose to Princess Luna. She rejected him like everyone else, despite the fact that he was the only one who managed to impress her. However, the Shadow Lord isn't about to give up so quickly. He presents a gift to the princess. For the rest of eternity, at the stroke of midnight, she will die and come back to life with the first rays of day. Again and again. Every night. An endless cycle. Because as the Shadow Lord said, "I will wait for you, even if it takes forever." Old wounds are being opened. The boundaries between worlds are blurring. Will a prince on a white horse arrive and bravely rescue a cursed princess or...?

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
