          	   I woke up with a cold sweat, still remembering that day. I looked out the window and saw the sun beginning to rise on a new day. I got out of bed and went to put on my uniform, it was the first day of school at the Elemental Academy.
          	
          	    As I changed, I looked at my reflection in the mirror, my torso was covered in scars, burn marks, and other damages. There was one giant scar that went from the top of the right side of my neck curving all the way down to the bottom of the left side of my torso. I suffered that wound from an experience I always wanted to forget.
          	
          	    I put my shirt on and looked at a picture on my dresser, it was of my family before that happened. I tore my eyes away from the picture and walked downstairs, where I prepared myself a quick breakfast. After eating, I checked the time and left my house.
          	
          	    I walked down the bustling street, people were everywhere, some were shopping, some were playing, some were just hanging out, but I ignored all of it and made my way to the Elemental Academy's front gates.
          	
          	    The guard stationed in front of the gates was tasked with making sure that only the accepted students got in, and there was quite a line to get in. I took my place in line, and the person in front of me turned around with an energetic smile.
          	
          	    "Hiya!" He held his hand out for me to shake, introducing himself. "The name's Jasper!"
          	
          	    I shook his hand and took my student ID, only showing him my name.
          	
          	    "Dusk, huh? Why didn't you just say that? Oh, wait, I don't mean to pry. Let's just be friends, ok?"
          	
          	    I nodded my head and Jasper turned back around as it was his turn to talk to the guard. After seeing his ID, the guard let him in.
          	
          	    "Next!" The guard called out with a neutral expression. "ID?"
          	
          	    I showed him my ID, and he nodded his head. "Welcome to the Elemental Academy."

Hey Nova! I wanted to give you a link to a subreddit I use often. https://www.reddit.com/r/FanFiction/ 
          This is a place where I am often active answering questions, but it is also a valuable resource for writers like us. You may write original stories, which aren't discussed there, but often people ask about how to get more views on wattpad or AO3 or how to get better at writing and stuff like that. Anyway, I thought it'd be a good resource for you, as it has been for me. Good luck!

@microwaffle I am grateful for this gift, Madam Waffle, I shall use it to my best ability.

Update: I am currently pausing work on Deadly Bloom, I will come back to it soon, but for now I am prepping another story to publish, “Moonlight Reaper.” It has a few of the same principles as Deadly Bloom, such as the elements, but has a completely different structure. The main character, Dusk Bloodlight, is a survivor of an organization called the Basilisk Blades, who captured him after blowing up his house when he was 13, and painfully forced power into him to turn him into a war machine that was only loyal to the Blades. His elemental form, which is something unique to this story, is Lunar Fury, a Shadow, Fire, and Spirit elemental who wields a double-bladed scythe as a weapon. Hope you’re excited, very few people who will read this. I appreciate all support and criticism for my stories. -CosmicNovaBurst

Thank you for adding Yugioh! - Neith to your reading list.
          Enjoy reading. (:

@CosmicNovaBurst I like his Japanese original seiyuu. Hikaru Midorikawa, his voice stands out, but it just fits. Although he's not my favorite voice actor.

@AuroraEvermoore LOL! I love his character and all that, but after reading a few fanfics about yugioh my opinion of him fully improved a ton, past how much I already appreciated him.

@CosmicNovaBurst I love anime as well. Even way before we had Crunchyroll and all. Yugioh will always hold a special place for me. I had a crush on Kaiba back then. (:

@microwaffle I've been trying to get on fanfiction.net but it's just not working for some reason, so I would like to make the OC's here! What OC do you think would fit with my story that you make? 

CosmicNovaBurst

@microwaffle that’s alright take your time

@CosmicNovaBurst It may take me a while to come up with this. Sorry it took me so long. I recently transitioned to working full-time again, so I haven't had as much free time as in the past. ^^ I'll do my best!

@microwaffle Okay, so I plan to make another book to write at the same time as Deadly Bloom called Moonlight Reaper, it has the same elemental powers type of thing but it's more focussed on a School type of place. Another thing different is that the characters have Elemental Forms, where they can use the upper limit of their elemental affinities. As an example, the main character, Dusk Bloodlight’s Elemental Form is called Lunar Fury, and he is a Shadow, Spirit, and Fire Elemental. I’m just asking if you would make an OC for this story, too, and add an Elemental Form? Also, for my story, just as a piece of information that you could use for your OC or you just discard this, there is an organization called the Basilisk Blades that forces pain and torture and experiments on people they kidnap, and those who survived this literal hell are the codes. So far, I have Code Soul, who is Dusk, Code Blitz, Code Blight, Code Blood, Code Thorn, Code Supremacy, and Code Merciless who are good people, and Code Supernova, who, so far, is the only Code left that is loyal to the Basilisk Blades. All of the elements are the same, and if you would like, you can have your character have up to 4 elemental affinities.
