They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. 

That was a long time ago. 

The dance has died. The world has fallen still. We float through the heavens, one half always in light, one half always in shadow. Like the moth of our forests, one wing white and the other black, we are torn. 

My people are the fortunate. We live in daylight, blessed in the warmth of the sun. Yet across the line, the others lurk in eternal night, afraid... and alone in the dark. 

I was born in the light. I was sent into darkness. This is my story.All Rights Reserved

Oblivion, A Timeless Void by Aster_Rae27

❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 8] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carried, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out on a journey to find the Elementals - a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.

Nightmare by DerekBolton

"Dreams. Everyone human has them. Some believe in them. Some think it's a pigment of their own imaginations. It's soothing to see yourself in a beautiful world. And it leaves you full of hope when you wake up. But there are days when you won't have these sweet dreams. No more beautiful worlds with bright sunsets, sweet flowers and rainbow bridges. Instead, you see pain, horror, gore and darkness. They wake you with a fright and leave your bed wet with sweat. And these are known..........as nightmares. But this is not a nightmare you wake up from. This is everlasting torment. This is my story............... my nightmare." Candace once beautiful world is turned into an everlasting doomsday as bio-hazardous gasses are released into the atmosphere, Turning all mankind into walkers. Undead man-like creatures that now roam the earth. A single bite from a walker and you join the parade. With her parents now walkers, Candace remains earth's last hope for survival.

Worlds Apart: Fables of Edea by l_o_f_i_t_e_a

In the beginning, there used to be one world. One place. A place where everyone and everything can coexist and thrive. There was peace and harmony. But everything changed when the Creator disappeared. Before anything could be done, everything fell apart. Everything changed for the worse. And there was no guidance or help to the seeds. The only way was to separate their realms into different worlds. The Realms used to be worlds apart, coexisting in harmony. But just like everything made in the universe, nothing lasts forever. The World Tree nears the end of its lifespan, and time is running out. The Collide comes. And nothing can stop it. But despite all odds, one must never give up hope. A small sliver of hope remains. We will not let the world we grew up in and lived in disappear. This is our home, our heaven and hell. We will not give up. Not like that. We will survive. We will stay alive. Because no matter what happens, our world is not yet lost...

The Shadow #1: The Shadow Has Claws ✓ by Angelbreeze-

REWRITING! ' Why Do You Shun Me When You Have Fallen? Why Do You Shun Me When You Have Fallen? ' _______________________________________________________________________________ An ominous presence stirred as the Sun's final rays slipped below the horizon, casting the land into darkness. Shrouded in mystery and danger, a new power emerged with the onset of twilight. A cascade of purple flames erupted, their fiery tongues reaching out hungrily to consume anything in their path. The air crackled with malice, and an aura of trepidation settled upon all who beheld this spectacle. None were spared from its wrath, for the purple flames spared no one. Amidst this chaos, a shadowy figure materialized, her countenance contorted into a sinister smirk. With teeth bared like a predator, the enigmatic being reveled in her newfound dominance. Her name was whispered in fear and awe-The Shadow. She possessed an arsenal of lethal weapons, her claws gleaming ominously in the dim light. Fear was foreign to her, for she embraced the darkness that enveloped her. Beware, for the arrival of the Night loomed ominously, signaling the demise of the radiant Sun. The world was thrust into an eternal night, where the moon's pale glow held sway. It was a time of survival, a battle for existence against the encroaching darkness. Those who dared to face the challenge were urged to be resilient and determined. The Sunre, a chosen few who dared to resist the Night's dominion, were called upon to stand firm against the relentless onslaught. But it was an arduous task, one that demanded unwavering fortitude. ____________________________________________________________________________

The Underground Review by clintonmanual

I always felt as if something was different, that there was something my mom wasn't telling me. Then it happened. My mother had a gun in one hand, and me in the other. Since then, I moved from orphanage to orphanage, keeping my mothers last free words in the back of my mind, "Don't stop moving. This world isn't safe for you Chase". So I did just that, I kept moving. That all changed when three strangers broke into my current housing situation, roughed up a small army, and then transported me to a world far removed from Earth. Oh, did I mention that they were using magic, because they were.

I am the Fire: Thranduil and Elleth reader fanfiction by MightyOwlOfGondor

"Clouds of fear were quickly covering the once cheerful blue sky. You knew then how unprepared for battle the people of Lake-town were. As you looked out to your left, you could see both dwarves, humans and elves facing one another, ready to rip the enemy of their glory and to claim all the mountain riches to themselves. It was then that the Earth started to shake. It was then the once stable ground became a quaking riot. It was then that Earthworms surged forward, from under the ground and into the light. This was now the Battle of the Five Armies." Opening paragraph of Chapter One You are a fierce elleth that is fighting in the Battle of the Five Armies. Since your father was killed by spiders on guard duty, both you and your mother left Mirkwood so you would not share your father's fate. You expected to see many Mirkwood elves that day, but you certainly did not expect to be fighting side by side with King Thranduil.

Immortal Hearts by Raenette2000

"Monsters exist. Heroes died. Hell has taken over the world, put humans into slavery, killed men, women, and children, but there are still warriors, who are recruited. This is our world, where kids at the age of thirteen begin fighting the dangers that face our world; they train and at the age of eighteen they will be put out into the real world. Schools were built everywhere, and kids were moved up based on their age. My world was a little different, my brother and I were trained ever since we could walk; we were put into battle once we reached seven years old. Today my parents are transferring me and my brother to a new school, before we were homeschooled but since my dad and mom are going to be leaving for quite some time they thought it was best for us to go to a real school where we will interact with other groups."

~Starborne~ Book One by FaithIsFuture

~Night is forever.~ --- In a world with endless night, Sparrow, a sixteen year-old girl with an affinity for the thievery, lives in a world where the sun has disappeared centuries ago. The people of this world have adapted to the never-ending darkness, developing unique biological traits and lifestyles to survive, with their own customs and traditions. She stumbles upon a secret society that calls themselves Lightfall, claiming to know the truth about the vanished sun, and she embarks on a dangerous journey into the unknown, seeking to uncover the truth and bring back the light. --- Cover by: @FaithIsFuture (me) on Canva --- He rakes a hand through his hair. I notice a new scar on his jaw, pale blue against the darker rest. "They call themselves 'Lightfall'." "Lightfall? How absurd." I laugh. The sun, if there had been a sun to begin with, had disappeared thousands of generations ago, and the people living on planet Terra had evolved (or hadn't, depending on different beliefs) with new 'abilities', like night vision, blending in with shadows, and the star patterns on our skin that could glow at will. I honestly didn't really care what had actually happened, more focused on the present than the past. "Everyone knows the sun is gone, or never existed." Hunter laughs. "I assure you, it does." --- I apologize for all the name changes and cover changes. I can't find anything juuuust right. Also ignore various plot holes in the story, spelling mistakes, random scene changes, and how the tense might change from present to past. Hopefully I never accidently wrote in future tense, but excuse my lack of editors. If you're wondering why it says 'Book One' in the title, it's because I'm planning this to be a series if I ever really go hard on finishing the first book.
