[MATURE: READ IF YOU DARE] ~ Alannah Valos had a power. Just like her mother, Alannah could drift through realms and back with just a single thought. Each realm Alannah would enter, she would discover an entirely different world. It was as if she had stepped into a dream, with different eras and creatures of all different shapes and sizes. Some creatures would have great powers and talents, while others would hold great terror and heartache. But with this gift, came a great but deadly warning: Those who die in one realm will have their spirit and body drift into another, never to be able to return again. And, as the fates had planned, that is what happened. Alannah's mother fell ill to a deadly disease, her frail body slowly losing touch before finally she passed away, her body travelling to the next realm. Left all alone at a young age, Alannah decided she was going to find her mother, no matter what. ~ Alannah enters a new realm only to discover a Cruel King who subjects all the eligible women to a deadly tournament. Four deadly trials: Strength- Only the strongest will stand; Intelligence- to prove you are worthy; Endurance- to show you can be put through anything and survive. The final trial will break even the coldest of hearts, and those who fail will be eliminated on sight. Only one woman will stand, who will become the next Cruel Queen? ~ -First Draft- ~ #1 Mature Rising Hot List #4 Mature #20 Warriors #11 Fantasyadventure #1 Realm #3 Trials

Yet again Darkness is hungry for a war to end it all, but Light will always have troops at the ready. One girl. One kingdom. Eleven friends. Four Elements. No biggie. * I'm Melody, hybrid freak, nice to meet you, strange muggle who I know nothing about. I used to be like you, cluelessly ignorant and uninvolved with the outside world. You know, they have a big, yellow ball of gas in the sky. Weird. Anyway my life became something out of a bad Si-Fi movie, and no, Nicolas Cage isn't in it (sadly). There are two forces in the world, Light and Darkness, and when you side with Light, Darkness gets a stick up its ass and wants you to suffer. My friends and I, we roll with Light, you must know where that leads.... I have a kingdom to learn, powers to master, loud friends to keep in line, a boy that I'm messed up over, and above it all, Darkness to show whose boss. Not as easy as you might think, but this is MY story, and I know how it ends. Being a loyal follower of Light shows me the beauty in life and the devastation it can cause. Don't get me wrong, I love Light, but Darkness makes it hard to stay and fight. * Melody is weird. She's childish. She's awkward. And she's got boy issues she needs to work out. Mel will face evil like no other, but can she do it? Will the scales of Light and Darkness finally be tipped? How can one girl make a difference? This is Melody, a corky teenager, and she wants you to read her story. Like now. Enjoy! Highest rank- #69 in Fantasy (Still cant believe it!!)

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
