Somehow, there must be a way to find friends beyond the limitations of Crest and Clan and forge connections that last and truly matter.

"Where are you going little one?" the voice in the Mage's head questions softly. He looks around, wondering if it was his inner speech who asked or someone corporeal. He's still alone, he had been, for a few days now. "North." 453 E.Y. The cloaked figure approaches the town of Bralden steadily. His eyes are aimed at the Keep on its periphery, a structure of stone walls hiding something he had been searching for. A source of more power, most likely. Mayhaps, a conduit for corruption also? Further north, to the distant Grathorn Mountains, the cliffs and crags seem to leer with the arrival of something... something other. They could only shudder in aticipation... for now.

When a cautious Formula One engineer crosses paths with a damaged comeback driver, she discovers that the most dangerous variable she should assess in the sport isn't speed-but attachment. ✦✦✦ Adriana Santos has always known her place on a championship-winning Formula One team is contingent. Excellence, she learned early, is not the same as security. She works in a role the paddock barely understands-simulating failures before they happen, answering 'what ifs' before they become 'what went wrong', and treating the car like a living thing whose future rests in her hands. Her work is quiet, precise, and easily erased the moment she becomes inconvenient. She is careful because she has to be. She knows Joshua Thomas long before she meets him: the driver who changed his name to fit in, the anomaly on a rival team forever tipped for titles. To Adriana, he's a reaction curve that never quite returned to baseline after last season's crash. His comeback is framed as resilience. Many are simply waiting to see him fail. They meet by accident, in a moment stripped of his usual extravagance and pretence. Adriana notices what she always notices-the face behind the mask, the way he laughs through failure like it doesn't frighten him. Adriana doesn't forget him, though. She keeps her distance but Joshua doesn't, and their reluctant friendship begins to bend into something riskier. And they both know exactly what it could cost them. ✦✦✦ ✦ Open Novella Contest 2026 | Prompts 24, 29, 30, 44 ᴄᴏᴘʏʀɪɢʜᴛ © 2026 ʙʏ ᴀᴜᴅʀᴇʏ ᴀʟʟ ʀɪɢʜᴛꜱ ʀᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ.

Now that cracks have cut through the surface, the Warden faces no choice but to obtain the help of the beings that despise them the most.

**𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭. 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝. ** Lyra is a werewolf. Well, sort of. Unfortunately, her wolf is not fully awakened, and all of its instincts and urges-hunting, fighting, biting- are instead building up inside her. The result? A tiny "aggression issue". At least, that's how her coaches, the referees, and pretty much every opposing team would describe it. On the ice and on her skates, Lyra is fast, tough, and mercilessly efficient. Off the ice, she reliably stumbles into situations that can only be described as emotional blow-ups. For example, there's Cassian, the hockey star of the Iron Hawks, her rival team. "Cas" is a picture-perfect werewolf, Lyra's personal nemesis, and the alpha male stereotype par excellence. As much as she would love to punch him in the face every now and then, he knows exactly how to push her buttons. And then there's the vampire - Valen. An elite skater who makes it his mission to help her with her aggression on the ice. What starts as a harmless deal quickly turns into a dangerous, emotional wildfire. Because Valen is far too charming, with a damn seductive smile. One that clearly promises things that are neither suitable for minors nor compliant with the rules. One explodes just as quickly as she does. The other still smiles even when everything is burning. Both of them drive her crazy. And both seem determined to take each other out of the game. Lyra wanted to play ice hockey professionally. She didn't want a snappy watchdog with a strong territorial instinct or a vampire as her unofficial mental coach. Above all, she didn't want to fall in love. Because one thing she knows for sure: feelings ruin any statistics. Too bad that life doesn't play by her rules.

Tayla's life should have been full of adventure and battle, and it would have been had she not failed her Crest Champion test a year prior. Now she's stuck at her aunt's herbalist shop, selling potions to the very ranks she once dreamed to join. And her town has just become a hot spot for Crest Champions everywhere. The once-bound dragon Zyrel has awakened after a century of slumber, and he draws dangerous monsters to his cage. The Crest Champions must kill him before he can finally be freed. Tayla plans to keep her head down and avoid the constant reminder of her failed dream, but that changes when an alicorn appears in her garden, claiming they must join forces and release Zyrel before it's too late. There's something wrong with the story of Zyrel's imprisonment, and to uncover the truth, Tayla must join a familiar-and loathsome-face from her Academy days. Dangers await, but the greatest threat she finds in the woods won't be the prowling beasts. It will be herself. -- Shout out to @raizelrose3 for the absolutely amazing cover!!

What awaits her there is her parents' run-down ranch, dusty roads, stubborn horses - and cowboys who throw her good intentions out the window with a smile. Shortly after her arrival, Alice stumbles upon the charming cowboy Blake at a town festival and straight into a hot one-night stand that turns out to be a load of horseshit the next morning -because Blake turns out to be working at her parents' ranch. As if that weren't enough, Blake turns out to be a charming mess with a talent for chaos, while his gruffy brother Cole criticises her every idea as if it were his personal mission in life. And then there's Byron Carter: dashing, influential, and clearly too interested in the ranch... and in Alice. Between bankrupt finances, broken high heels, old enemies, and way too hot cowboys, Alice quickly learns that a heart is harder to tame than a wild ranch horse. In the end, she is faced with the all-important question: does she trust her feelings, or does she save the ranch before everything goes down the drain?
