Shizua Lavei is used to being compared to her family and being found lesser.  If only she was as powerful as Hana.  If only she was as magnificent as Karri.  If only, if only, if only.  She hears it so often no matter how hard she fights against the golden cage her mother keeps trying to fit her into.  She refuses to be an untouched, delicate noble lady but as a human water keeper born in a family of vampires she has always been viewed as having less potential than her cousins and brothers.

Learning both the sword and the healing arts she strives to prove them wrong.  But no matter how much her father calls her "his little ocean" she never has any chance to prove just how powerful she can be.  That is, until Karri makes the choice to leave the Outer Gates to help a village of commoners.  She convinces her brothers to leave with her so she can finally get her chance.

However, the outside world cares not what your blood is.  Shizua who has been so utterly protected is incredibly defenseless in certain aspects that leaves her ill adapted to the cruelty that happens outside.  However, her sense of duty is so strong that she refuses to back down until she can bring a group of people back home.  No matter the cost to her.All Rights Reserved

Unblessed by Melrose___

Luna, the heir to the throne of Ellopia, was unlike anyone else in her kingdom. She had not been blessed by Mother, the divine force who safeguarded their land. For as long as she could remember, her people had called her "unblessed" and "unwanted," a constant reminder of her difference. When the Hotlake-the sacred lake of molten crimson waters-began to wither and cool, the kingdom was thrown into turmoil. As one of the three holy places that shielded Ellopia from external threats, its failing magic endangered everyone. Without the Hotlake's strength, the kingdom's defenses would collapse, leaving it vulnerable to forces long held at bay. The healers revealed a devastating truth: no one with magic could approach the lake without their power being consumed by its instability. Luna, untouched by magic, was the only one who could enter its sacred waters and uncover the cause of the disturbance. With her came Ellorial, her father's trusted advisor, a man known for his sharp mind and striking presence. His piercing eyes and commanding demeanor seemed to light a fire in those around him. Skilled in both diplomacy and combat, Ellorial's role was to guide and protect Luna on this dangerous journey. Armed with little more than her wits, an ancestral blade that had never tasted battle, and Ellorial by her side, Luna began her journey into the unknown.

Brightening White Flowers by Xandria_CW

Karri Wrighte is a descendant of the Blessed family, Kinza. She is also special in her own right. Born straddling the line between life and death. Born with two instincts. One to nourish and heal. The other to harm, destroy. Kill. Now a Warrior, she knows better than her family that choices matter. Every little choice can lead up to one big choice. It can lead up to one tragic event. Choices matter and she's upset at her family's choice to hide behind their walls. She doesn't think it's right for them to ignore the suffering and brutality outside but she has no say, at least not yet. But when one of her family decides to leave their walls and go outside, she makes a choice. It is a choice that will change her life and that of her family's. It is a choice that could affect the lives of everybody in Lasinia. Sometimes, all it takes is one choice. ***** Wattpairs 2019 entry Thank you @AMLKoski!

Though she returns, nothing in her life is the same. Her family has vanished without a trace. The home she has spent more torturous yet joyful moments in, the closest thing to home, destroyed and left in rubble. Her best friends, her brother, her own daughter, missing without so much as a trail. No one left to help her, console her, tell her everything will be okay. Within the span of five months, Evelyn has managed to rise back to her feet, but she's dropped her old life. Temporarily. Changing her hair style, and name, she's confided in people eligible to help her. But per usual, she's ultimately bound to making enemies. Creating a new enemy was not on her agenda, especially not one that she is agreeing to marry. After getting into a situation she can't seem to get herself out of, she is forced to stay in the same house as someone she hates as much as he hates her. But as time drags on, the line between love and hate seems to blur. Forcing herself to focus on her main objective, she attempts to limit as much time with him as possible. But living in the same house, despite its rather large build, she's bound to run into him by chance. Evelyn will do anything to save her family, as they had done many occasions before-for her. Even if it means destroying her own happiness in the process. {MATURE LANGUAGE} TW -Violence -Rape/sexual assault -Kidnapping -Drugs -Gore/torture -Suicide thoughts/attempt

Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2) by _Hiraeth_Author_

A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.

Magics: Found (Book 3) by Fan_FictionGirl2

Shintaro wishes he had done more to stop the end of the world. His whole life's purpose was to keep the Abyss and Dark Magic in check, and he had failed from the day he was born. Dark Magic grew out of hand because he wasn't brave enough to stand up to his father all those years ago. Dark Magic grew out of hand because Shintaro was a coward. His only success in containing was just barely managing to put his father in a place of eternal darkness, and even that nearly killed him. That day, he stumbled back to his home, into the loving arms of his wife, not daring to tell her what had happened. He came up with a brilliant lie, one that he doesn't care to remember. After his father's defeat, his life went on smoothly. He was able to watch his children grow into wonderful young people. He was able to live as peacefully as the keeper of peace could. He shamefully tried to ignore his duty and get a few years of peace with his family. And that led him to Thorn's release, which evidently led to the murder of his wife, the capture of his children, and then destruction of his life. The only good thing that came out of that adventure was his new friends, the ones that he grew closer to over five years. But now his son is dead, it's his fault, and the boy who was like another son to him is gone. Simply because Shintaro was too cowardly to try to put up a fight against his father.

He isn't going to lose anyone else. He's going to defeat his father once and for all. He is going to get Kai back.
