"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.

Elements #Wattys2015
"He likes your curves. Rightfully claims you as his... in his mind." Asher now speaks staring at the golden boy. I carefully peek through my lashes to find him still looking at me. "Are you jealous?" I dare to ask. He sits back at the wall staring at me. He runs his eyes down my body and slowly smirks. "Yes," "Good," I say digging my fork into the pasta. I then place the pasta into the carrots... Playing with my food. I have been scolded for this many times when I was back in the Ordinary world. Now there is no one to do that for me. Asher comes closer to me and I could sense the burnt wood in him. I smile as he wraps his arms around me. "Your mine. Only I can look at you that way. Only I can touch you. Only I can kiss you. Understand?" He asks me. I nod. He places a kiss on my lips and a kiss on my collarbone. "Good," I peek at my lashes again to find golden boy looking elsewhere.

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![Elemental princess [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/115008826-256-k677636.jpg)

Forever (Book 1) (Editing)
*His eyes were the first thing I noticed as he looked up at me. Such a dark blue they reminded me of sapphires. My heart jumped at the feel of them as he held my gaze. I was in a trance unable to look away and it was as if he could see into the very soul that gave my body life. My skin crawled with goosebumps as his eyes changed from curious to predatory in a matter of moments. A shudder passing through me as my heart beat faster. He could see me. Like really see me and I cringed at the gut wrenching fear that ran through me, watching as his tongue ran smoothly over his lips. He looked like a predator about to hunt his prey. Me being that prey. His grin was intimidating as he spoke to the boy next to him and began to come my way.* Lacey Yasmine just moved to the small town of Moonlight Creek with her aunt seeking new lives in a place where they could start over.
