"As sure as I breathe the Air, as sure as the Earth remains solid beneath my feet, as sure as the Water quenches my thirst, and as sure as the Fire lights my way in the dark. Upon my honor, I swear to uphold the Codes."
----------
Vis is the natural energy that flows through everything. Every living thing had vis that flowed through them, and it is said that long ago every person has been able to interact with the vis around them. Now, perhaps one out of ten children born had the ability, and out of that an even smaller number could manipulate vis to the point where it was even noticeable.
The Codes were created after the Devastation to limit the practices of vis. Anybody with an affinity to vis must swear by the Codes, and their training is strictly monitored. Violating the Codes is punishable by death.
Acacia and Truman have been selected to go to Reservoir, one of the most prestigious Placements to train to be a vis'i, a master wielder of vis. There, they will be pushed to their limits as they learn how to wield vis in ways they had not thought possible. But, Acacia has a secret. For as long as she can remember, she has been able to influence vis in ways reminiscent to those from the Devastation. She must learn to control her powers if she wishes to become a vis'i.
But there are whispers of Darkeyes for the first time in generations. The world is stirring, and the Codes may not be able to protect from what is to come.
----------
Gauging interesting for Reservoir - if it seems like people want to read on, I'll be posting additional chapters on a regular basis.

Guardians of the Arcane Realm: The Fire Crown
[Book 1] Twelve-year-old Skylar Sparks never wanted to be special. She was perfectly fine being a Non-Elemental, dreaming of a normal life in London-high school, university, and a future as a Zoologist. But when monstrous Nagas attack her city, everything changes. Skylar becomes the one thing she never expected, the one thing she grew up reading about, the one thing she hated: the Chosen One. Now, as the only Light Elemental in Stelarinia, she's thrown into a world where she's seen as an abomination. Tasked with finding the lost Relics, starting with the Fire Crown, she must navigate ruthless rivals, biased teachers, ancient prophecies, and dangerous creatures lurking in the shadows-all while barely understanding her own Element. With her twin brother by her side, unlikely friendships forming, and a strict Master who prefers whacking her with his staff over giving clear instructions, Skylar must figure out how to survive magical school, master her abilities, and stay alive until the Blue Moon Festival. But there's a problem- everyone expects her to fail. And in a world where being the Chosen One means being hunted, failure isn't an option.
Emblems
((Originally, Phoenix)) “Leave me alone!” Her form flickered in the dim light. The brothers shared a look. “All right,” one started. “Just let us say something first. We know you have powers; we can sense them on you. We can do this because we have powers too. We call it magic. If you want, we can show you.” “Prove it then.” ~^~^~^~^~ There was a monster inside of her – a dark thing that always tried to claw its way out, ripping her insides to shreds as it went. She found no relief from it, maybe because she had no happy memories to find solace in, nor anyone to find comfort in. And yet, Amber could be the catalyst to setting a series of events that had been prophesied centuries before, into motion, bringing together three more people – the embodiments of the Emblems – to bring magic back to life. But in this underlying world of Adepts, Demons and secrets within secrets, unlocking their potential will be harder than you think. ~^~^~^~^~^ So, this is my 2014 Nanowrimo story, which is basically an attempt to rewrite Phoenix, where it shall go through major changes in plot, characters as well as effects of my new-and-improved writing style. I hope you enjoy it, and please give constructive criticism! {Also, the cover is temporary, till I find someone who can help me with it :P}Complete
