Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions.  
  
    ///
  
  The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion.
    
  All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself.

The Unordinary Life of the Enchantress by AK-Babar

{INITIAL DRAFT, constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged} "I swear on the life of my men, that I will never fall back on my word to bring down this worker of mischief- and bring down this inhumane creature!" The new king preached. The Enchantress has lived in her manor long enough to see the settlement and depletion of many mortal towns, so she isn't surprised when another collective of civilians claim the land near her for themselves. Calling themselves the 'New Mortals', the people seem set on making the Enchantress's life an ongoing misery. She uses her knowledge of the world and its elements to keep intruders away from her home, however, when the newly-elected leader of the settlement promises her demise and a boy claiming to be a researcher makes himself her apprentice, her life deters from its usual path and becomes a constant hassle as she tries all she can to return to a peaceful existence.

The Demon's Hostage by Hungererr

Alice, a prodigy of ice and wind magic, was known far and wide for her extraordinary abilities. Born with a natural affinity for the elements, she quickly surpassed her peers, her talents only matched by her insatiable curiosity. Her kind heart drove her to seek knowledge not just for herself, but to better the lives of those around her. The gods themselves took notice of her selflessness, bestowing upon her a portion of their divine power as a mark of their favor. On a bright and sunny day, Alice embarked on a journey into the heart of the forest, where the ancient trees stood tall and the air was thick with the scent of earth and leaves. She was searching for a rare herb, one that grew only in the darkest, most secluded parts of the woods. Undeterred by the shadows that lingered beneath the canopy, she pressed on, her resolve unshaken. But she was not alone in the depths of the forest. Hidden among the twisted roots and dense underbrush, a demon watched her every move, its eyes gleaming with malevolent intent. It had been drawn to the purity of her aura, a stark contrast to the darkness it thrived in. The demon's hunger grew as it observed her, its twisted mind plotting how it would claim the elven girl as its prey. Would her magic and wits be enough to survive? Would the demon's insidious hunger be her undoing? Or would something unforeseen bloom from their deep-seated hatred for each other.

Polarized by Wildsmellyflower

Just another generic story about some high schooler with powers being the chosen one and saving the world. Okay, maybe not the entire world. But our protagonist here may end up saving her country plus the spirit realm from a power-hungry goddess... or she may not. So we have a country, Cloudgate, which I accidentally named after a giant bean in Chicago. (Look it up, guys) Then we have auras, which are these magical power source thingies from the heavens, or should I say the Realm of Spirits, which give the people of Cloudgate supernatural abilities. Except the auras are actually cursed, which messes with the human's powers, and now auras have become synonymous with curses and aura-having humans face heavy persecution. Skye Everson, the afformented chosen one protagonist, is one of these aura-havers, and she has ice powers. For a long time, she had idolized mages and wanted to hone her skills so she could become a mage herself. The problem? Aura magic is no longer legal. Fortunately for Skye, she gets kidnapped by a secret society that trains mages illegally, and may now have a chance to live out her dreams as an ice mage. But becoming a practiced magic user in this day and age may not be all its cracked up to be... (Age rating: 13+)
