Mazara: (Her voice is quite similar but it is much softer and deathlier.)
Theorea, thee must stop talking this instant. It is my turn. Coven Witches, it is my- Mazara's- great horror to be the Coven Queen during this Halloween. Hades hath himself given us this treacherous news. Tomorrow, during this very hour as Halloween fades, we will regain our empire, for the prophecy hath stated, and here I Quoth,

During Witching Hour,
An unfortunate visitor shalt sight a
box.
She shalt let out the haunted. creature,
And as she doth so,
the Coven Queen shalt reign supreme."

Nightwalker | ONC 2025
It has been a week since the old mausoleum at the Nethermly Cemetery collapsed without warning. This week has been full of unexplained deaths and strange sightings. Like every resident of Nethermly, Reverie Ashford had locked herself safely in her house. She planned to enjoy some peace and quiet until the town returned to normal. But of course, the universe seems to hate her: The first newcomer the town has had in centuries had to come knocking at her door. Draven did not want to ask for her help. But his people had been massacred, and if the remaining few didn't act fast, the same would happen to the oblivious residents of Nethermly. He did not want to dig up his past, nor did he want to drag an unwilling girl into this. But they needed every help they could get, and they were running out of time. If they failed, Nethermly would be erased from the map. Prompt 86: Nobody new has come to your hidden town in centuries - until now. Someone appears on your doorstep, claiming they're here to find you. But how do they know your name? Prompt 103: After a catastrophic accident affects an entire town, the residents begin experiencing strange and inexplicable symptoms. |ONC 2025 LONGLISTER & ROUND 2 AMBASSADOR'S PICK||1X FEATURED| Rose Gold Awards 2025: Best First Line 4th place Rose Gold Awards 2025: Paranormal 5th placeConcluida
The Faerie Curses
A war is brewing in The Faerie Realm; it's up to a knight, a prince, and an outcast to stop it. When a sinister and mysterious master takes control of a group of cursed faeries known as the sprites, they want revenge against the fae...and they will stop at nothing to obliterate the kingdoms known as the Faerie Courts in a slaughtering attack on Midsummer's night. When Marissa, a Winter Knight with a dark past, joins forces with the arrogant prince Glen and the runaway sprite Diandre, she knows that they are the fae's only chance of defeating The Master. The first step? Become fugitives. These three will have to race against time to recover the Objects of Power: a wand and a scepter that have been lost for centuries. But to prevent a dark war, Marissa, Glen, and Diandre will be tested like they've never imagined. And it might just cost them their lives.

" She stuttered cutely. I chuckled. "Let me remind you. Your stomach will not be the only thing I will be staring at. There are so many places where I want to stare. For example, your pretty long legs, your creamy stomach, and your enticing blue eyes, small but cute nose, and your luscious lips which are, right now, begging me to kiss them, soft and hard, without letting you to breath." I said, whispering the last sentence in her ears, while she held on to my tunic tightly, as if she would fall, if she were to let go. "S-Stop." She said, softly, as I chuckled at her shyness. ••• Ranking: 27/08/2022 3# in King and Queen 13/10/2022 1# In king and queen 20/02/2023 5# In Goddess 11/06/2023 1# in King And QueenConcluida![Dull Colours [UNEDITED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/309000037-256-k752854.jpg)
