The small urban town of Oasis is ordinary. However, Oasis has a secret side to it. Known as The Other Side, it's a hidden part of the town only those immersed in magical know-how can travel to and from.
Jesse is one of those people. Born at the age of 14 as an artificial human, a physical manifestation of someone else's curse, he can travel to the home land of his kind in The Other Side and his own native town of Oasis. With a passion for adventure and a curious mind, Jesse lives everyday seeing and learning more about the magical world of The Other Side.
Gavriela (Gavi for short) on the other hand, is a regular teen girl living in the estates of Oasis. But soon, her regular life will quickly change. With her family separating, Gavi's life is falling apart. Little does she know that one man from The Other Side is responsible. Although Gavi desperately tries to keep her cool, the Man from The Other Side is on the move again. And this time, he's after her life.
When their worlds collide, they soon realize they have to work together to stop the Man from The Other Side, before he claims yet another life.

Eighteen Tears To An End
𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: • Statements in slashes indicate Giva's self talks. e.g / -𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝- / • It is what it is. Eighteen Years To an End. A mind filled exclusively with dark thoughts. The ones that would entirely change one's personality if only they take over, once you have had your lot...Something so menacing that even death cant resist not having you. Unusually, have you pondered over how it would be, if someone would've wanted to stop existing on their birthday? Giva, her 18th birthday is a day close and her wish is to be gone- disappear into the end or the beginning of something new. But why is it so...Is that her desire out of despair? Giva believed that one starts to question existence when one's not living, but to inquire herself is how she knew she was, infact, living and yet not alive. Would she quit what could possibly be called the suffering or is it a purpose? The world seems to have made her believe that she will have to take her thoughts, her feelings with her to the grave. With an impression like "No one needs to know 'cause nobody really understands or wants to" that the world left on her, she eventually gave up on people. Such a wish why Giva had, could be fairly reasoned... With such depth that even Giva couldn't help but romanticize death when it came to herself- to somehow disappear. What separates her and her wish is nothing but Death itself. What could it be to hold her back from the sin, if nothing but God? And if she was to give in to it, that would only be so ungrateful and unfair, for the glass was always half full. Yet, the other side seems to be the only way to sound peaceful. If there's one... Is it the only way? Is there the 'other side' ? *Song: While I'm Alive by Lauren Jauregui, Femme it forward* "I haven't celebrated my birthday in years..."Complete
Lumien
A group of young people with different races and cultures, altogether united for one important mission. They are the only key to save their precious world Lumien from the upcoming chaos that will befall them. What are the truths that unfolds within? Will they be able to succeed in their mission? *** "Lumien is a special place that holds deep in our hearts. And no one can ever take our home from us no matter what. We may be different from each other, we may have water and oil relationships with each other for centuries, we may argue, fight, do unforgiving things but it still didn't change the fact that we all love Lumien. We will fight for our rights and nothing can stop us, no one can steal and control Lumien, not even you, Darkxyney, the Demon-God." Darkxyney laughed and mocked them for his stupid remark. "Bring it on! Even if you have the other weak legendary dragons, hah! Even if you locate that good-for-nothing White Dragon Empress, I will still win and rule over Lumien and then the whole universe! I'll finally be able to replace my darn mother for being the Universe Goddess!" she laughed evilly as if she had won. Everyone looked uneasy as they felt Darkxyney was stronger than before. But the chosen one and his comrades were the ones who stood firm and didn't shiver. "Everyone! Protect Lumien!" Language: TAGLISH Genre: Fantasy/Adventure ALL RIGHTS RESERVED @2022
