TORIN Orphaned as a child, I've relentlessly carved out a name for myself in the Royal Naval Academy. Now I serve as the youngest lieutenant aboard the HMS Dartmouth. Then I received the bittersweet news that I have an uncle who is still alive...and he's sentenced to hang for piracy. I, Lieutenant Torin Damaris of the Royal Navy, is related by blood to a pirate. It's disgraceful beyond words. To make matters worse, my uncle left me a treasure map, of all things. And X marks the spot where a wealth of riches have been hidden, on Dead Man's Isle. I'm convinced it's nothing but pirate nonsense, tall tales brought on by rum. But the promise of so much gold is impossible to resist. It haunts me. And I'm hungry for it. As I set sail, guided by the map, there's a nagging worry in the back of my mind. This doesn't make me a pirate...does it? - - - BRYNN That map belongs to me and I want it back. I won't let some stuck-up, spoiled sailor boy claim it for himself. There's more than gold hidden on that map. The story goes that Poseidon himself buried a vial of his tears on the island and anyone who places a drop of that precious salty water on his tongue will rule the tides. But Dead Man's Isle earned its name for a reason. It's treacherous sailing in the rough shallows. Many ships have been gutted on the jagged rocks, or smashed to pieces by the powerful waves. And if that wasn't enough to deter any man of sound mind, legends abound of monsters that roam the island. With a ravenous appetite for human flesh. Can Torin and I work together to claim the treasure and split it amongst ourselves? Or will we become one more set of bleached bones on the shores of Dead Man's Isle? - - - #ONC2026 Prompt 34: You will have to sail the seven seas to find the lost treasure. But treasure means different things to different people, what treasure will you find at the world's edge?

Mara Sayer is most certainly not a witch. At least, that is what her grandmother insists. And she is probably right, for Mara is already fifteen, and it has been seven years since she failed the entrance exams to the Elfenau Academy of Magic. Yet, despite everything, Mara continues to attempt magic day after day. And one day, against all odds, she succeeds. Soon after, a mysterious professor from the academy appears on their doorstep, offering to prepare her for school in just five days. But this is only the beginning of her journey. At the academy, Mara meets the charismatic Damian Sparrow and his enigmatic best friend, Vesperis More. However, their friendship quickly becomes something far more than mere schoolyard mischief. Damian is drawn to perilous experiments with dark magic, Vesperis hides more than he reveals, and Mara finds herself increasingly entangled in dangerous intrigues. Magic that carries peril. Secrets best left undiscovered. And a friendship that may soon turn into something far more complicated.

One stormy night accompanied by rainy black clouds and strong blowing winds, something was about to happen, something important as well as something terrible to the people involved in this event ...

Rozdział I - Ogień pod skórą Wieś Głuszczyzna nie była miejscem, które trafiało na mapy królestwa. Nie leżała przy żadnym trakcie handlowym, nie miała karczmy z własnym piwem ani nawet cmentarza z legendą. Ot, skupisko domów rozrzuconych pośród pagórków i zarośli, gdzie ziemia była twarda, a języki jeszcze twardsze. Ludzie tu nie pytali „jak się masz?", tylko „czy przeżyłeś noc". Artur Fiks urodził się jako trzecie dziecko miejscowego kowala i jedyne, które nie miało silnych ramion ani ochoty całymi dniami walić młotem w żelazo. Od początku wydawał się... inny. Nie że magiczny czy szczególnie błyskotliwy, ale miał ten specyficzny rodzaj nieprzystosowania, który sprawia, że człowiek zaczyna szukać odpowiedzi w księgach, zamiast w narzędziach. I to już wystarczyło, żeby patrzono na niego podejrzliwie. Ojciec mówił o nim z niecierpliwością. Bracia - z pobłażliwym rozbawie
