fantasy firststory forestofshadows

11-year old Shäla lives in the city of Nalacar, which is right outside of the Forest of shadows. The Forest of Shadows is one of the ten Forests of Myth, home to the mythical creatures of the world, created from old magic to protect them from people that hunt them. Each forest has a Watcher, someone who protects and keeps the peace in the forest. The Forest of Shadows has not had a Watcher for years, for they normally get killed in the first week, for the Forest of Shadows is the most dangerous of the ten, holding demons, witches and monster of the dark. In a dare, Shäla goes into the forest and it changes her life forever, getting taken by the Council of Watchers and chosen as the Watcher of the Forest of Shadows, she's on a quest to "befriend" the creatures of the forest, meeting new creatures and changing her view of the world completely, while trying to stay alive.

The Green Witch by IanReeve216

The Green Witches were once admired and respected members of the community. They were a bridge between the human world and the world of nature until King Roderick tried to enlist them in his war with the neighbouring kingdom of Berkanol. When they refused, the King, fearing they would use their powers against him, declared them to be enemies of the Kingdom and ordered them arrested and killed. Today, the few that remain survive by hiding, forever fearing discovery. Sixteen year old Tala Viddyr is one of those survivors. She lives alone in a cottage in the forest after her father walked out and her mother died of the fever. A young woman living alone will be sure to attract the attention of the witchhunters, though. To hide she has to appear normal, which means she has to marry someone and play the role of wife and mother. She chooses Seventeen year old Dougal Tanner, a boy she likes and who has tried to court her a number of times but for whom she has no real feelings. She hopes that love will come later, but beginning a relationship with him means she has to make a difficult choice. Should she try to hide the truth from him her entire life, or tell him what she is and take the risk that he will betray her to the witchhunters?

Eternal Metamorphosis by BurbanoR

Earth has been transformed into an unpredictable nightmare by an alien force, its landscapes constantly shifting in time. Forests become oceans, mountains dissolve into endless plains, and creatures born of chaos emerge in every corner of this broken world. But the greatest threat comes at night. Shadowy predators that hunt in the darkness, vanishing only when struck by light. In the midst of this chaos, a 20 year old woman struggles to protect the only family she has left: her 10 year old brother. Together, they navigate a world that reshapes itself without warning, battling both the horrors around them and the haunting question of what caused this catastrophe. Driven by love and relentless determination, she fights to keep him safe. Even as the darkness closes in. Elyra "This world tears everything apart. The skies, the earth, the things we love, everything is devoured by this merciless transformation. Forests turn into oceans, deserts into dense jungles, and what was once home yesterday is nothing but a shadow today. In this world, constantly dragging us into the abyss, I have only one purpose: to protect my little brother. He can't see how often I cry at night, how often the fear eats away at me. The shadows are the worst. They come from the darkness, they hunt, they consume. I've seen things I'll never be able to forget. But as long as I'm breathing, I'll keep fighting. For him. For us. This world wants to tear us apart, but it will never succeed. Not as long as I'm here."

A place behind the thinnest of veils and Sarah is about to be pulled into it by a man she never imagined possible. Witches, Dragons, and shapeshifters are meant to be a thing of myths. Legends we tell children in bedtime stories. But, as Sarah is about to find out, everything has an origin story.
