Ever wonder what happens beyond 'Happily Ever After'?  All those fairytales, those childhood stories, they go to the land of Somnoria to live out the rest of their lives.  
Harlow Deorwynn has lived in the basement of the castle and always looked up, always watching the brothers grow, and loving them more as time passes.  Esmerelda Swete lives in Reality - where we live - in the basement of her step-parents house.  She, too, looks towards the sky and dreams of another world, where a certain wonderful prince awaits.  But how can she live out a fairytale live, when her friends are suffering back home?  What does she choose, happily ever after, or Reality?

What if the Myth were real and everything else mattered not? What if your very soul hung in the balance? Enter a land where the Myth is real, but many have forgotten or scorn the Truth and those who fight to uphold it. The adventure is about to begin, for even those who fight for justice are about to rediscover why. This story is not just another tale of an orphan who finds a magic sword, discovers a forgotten lineage, finds a few friends, and conquers an overwhelming evil. This is a story that crosses a continent, transcends time, plunges deep into the very soul of man, and explores all the vastness and intricacies of life. It is a story of good and evil, love and war, truth and absurdity, courage and faith, hope and despair, humor and adventure, and everything that moves the human soul. Whether viewed as Truth or Myth, it is a tale to make one think and a story full of adventure, intrigue, love, sorrow, hope, and humor: much like this dance we call life. It is a fairy story in that it involves unicorns, dragons, and other uncommon beasts and certain aspects of magic, but it is also a human story that explores the questions, doubts, fears, and triumphs common to the hearts of men. The Brethren are an ancient brotherhood entrusted with preserving and disseminating knowledge, truth, and justice since time began; they have survived indifference, hostility, disaster, war, plague, and obscurity but ever they persevere in their age-old duties. Of late, they have fallen into obscurity due to over-caution and the forgetfulness of the people they serve. A strange encounter rouses them from their secrecy and sends one of their most talented agents into the heart of a sworn enemy only to unveil an even older and more dangerous foe.

Gifted with extraordinary powers over the Earth, Mind, and possibly more, Liora can manipulate the very ground beneath her feet and influence the thoughts of those around her. Though she has honed her abilities to maintain peace and avoid chaos, whispers of her powers have cast a shadow of fear over the kingdom, branding her gifts as dangerous and fearsome. When news of her powers escapes the palace walls, Liora's tranquil existence shatters. She longs to help her people, but the very ones she wishes to assist refuse to see beyond their fear. In secret, she begins to practice her abilities with the guidance of Rowen and her brother, driven by a desire to master her gifts and prove her worth.

However, when the war finally erupts, Liora is determined to do everything within her power to protect her home.

Beautiful Beast

35 parts Complete

My name is Kalista. They call me the beast. Kalista has been cursed by a powerful sorceress and is now a prisoner in her own palace. As petals fall from an enchanted rose, her fate and the sorceress's victory draw nearer. But Kalista refuses to be defeated so easily and uses her own magic to push against the bindings. Yet what if it is not enough and the only way the curse might be shattered is through the help of another? When Arawn crosses into the beast's domain, he has one motive: revenge for his brother's death. But as he draws nearer to the beast and is surrounded by invisible servants, magical banquets, and an enchanted forest, he realizes that this beast is much more complex and much more human than he first thought. As their paths intertwine, Kalista must risk opening her heart to another, while Arawn must learn to see past his hate and prejudice. Together, they struggle against spells, wolves, and time itself to break the curse. If they fail, Kalista will fall asleep and will never again wake.
