WIP

A short novel.


Although our planet earth is not sentient, it is alive, conscious and aware of us, living on its surface. It is unexplainable and yet simple - it is a living being, not God, but still, powerful. With modern advancements in the last few centuries, the earth realises its ever-so-slightly-deteriorating state, and is taking action. It sends out abilities to random people hoping, that they will use the best of the newfound abilities to help save the planet. They are the Earth-bound. 

Some people have gone mad with power.  With the most powerful Earth-bound leading a colonisation of the entire world, only a small group of rebel fighters could give hope to all of humanity.

14 parts Ongoing
In a world where one-third of humanity is composed of elementals, a unique group possesses extraordinary abilities tied to the natural elements: fire, water, air, and earth. Among them are the protectors of light and darkness, emerging every other century with unparalleled powers. For centuries, elementals have operated in secrecy, forming a society dedicated solely to safeguarding humanity from mythical horrors that should never have been unleashed. However, two centuries ago, their existence was accidentally exposed, leading to a catastrophic war that claimed millions of lives and devastated countless homes. Now, a century later, a new pair of protectors has been chosen just as the very force that ignited the original conflict threatens to escape its prison and annihilate everything in its path-humans and elementals alike. As they navigate a treacherous landscape filled with government pursuers, mercenaries, assassins, and monstrous foes, these protectors must rise to the challenge. They face the daunting task of stopping a shadow-powered entity determined to obliterate the world. Will they overcome their differences and unite in this critical fight, or is history destined to repeat itself?, as the fate of both species hangs in the balance.

My name is Tide. I'd love to say hi and all, but if I tell you my location two very bad things could happen. First, someone who isn't really on my list of favorite people might find the information. Then, they would hunt us down and try to use our powers to take over the world and other maniacal things. Yeah, not so fun. However, I'd like it if people knew how things really happened. You may see things on the news, and they may sound bad, but trust me, this is the real story. Because I'm an Elemental. And somebody needs to set the record straight.* [Action #101] [Fantasy #2] :: cover credit goes to the lovely ATXNNA :: *heyo so this book is pretty old, some (a lot of) spelling mistakes, some (a lot of) plot holes, but if you're looking for some fast paced action and some sarcasm and some cliche romance you should honestly just go to the second book but yeah, this has got that, just with, you know, the glaring faults in the story line. Just a warning.

Six high school students looks like anyone else acts like anyone else but are capable of things no one else is. They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing. (Don't be too harsh please)
