Twin sisters Kassia and Guinevere have been raised their entire lives within the comfortable confines of the Citadel, the home of the continent's most powerful religious sect. The latest of a vital bloodline, one of the two will someday be chosen to rise above their station and become a human vessel for their beloved, omnipotent Messiah. However, there is much that has been withheld from them: ancient histories, unholy evils, and the truth of the lands which lay beyond the sea.

When Gods Cry
In Atlusa, when the war between good and evil ended, the people were forever divided into two tribes, the Kasuhi and the Amathu. The gods marked the Kasuhi with the mark of good for they had supported them while the Amathu were given the mark of evil for opposing the gods. They then gave the Kasuhi dominion over the Amathu so that evil would never raise again and to prevent another war from happening. Thousands of years later, animosity between the two tribes has culminated in a pending war and at the centre of this war stands Muma, an Amathu boy born with the mark of good. Stricken by grief when his rebel brother is executed, Muma embarks on a mission to free his people. Infiltrating the city of the Kasuhi, he seeks to bring down their society and free his people. Yet within their midst, Muma confronts a reality that dismantles his beliefs. The once clear line between good and evil blurs, challenging his convictions, his sense of purpose, and belonging. In this spellbinding tale, deception, secrets, magic, gods, and the irresistible pull of destiny propel Muma toward choices that will define the fate of a world on the brink of uncertainty and destruction.Complete
𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 | 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
Beneath the roots lies a realm unspoken, where shadows breathe and rivers run black. A single step too far unravels the veil between worlds, turning play into curse, and innocence into exile. Beyond the roots, the air itself conspires, forests whisper of forgotten kings, and demons walk as both beasts and men. Yet above that abyss rises a kingdom of warmth, a fragile jewel cradled in sunlight. Its streets awaken each dawn in a riot of color: banners ripple, stalls spill with fruit and cloth, and fountains laugh with crystal spray. Children dart through blooming gardens, their laughter ringing louder than bells, while elders sit beneath arching roots, telling stories of brighter days. Here, joy is stitched into life itself. The baker greets with sugared bread, the blacksmith's hammer sings with the town musicians, and couples dance when lanterns glow like fallen stars. Festivals turn nights into oceans of song, where drums thunder and torches paint the sky in fire and gold. In this place, hope does not hide-it parades, it feasts, it laughs. The people call their home a sanctuary, untouched by sorrow, where each day begins with promise and ends in peace. To live here is to believe, if only for a moment, that darkness is nothing more than a distant dream. But beneath their feet, the roots stretch into silence. For every blossom hides its shadow, and every feast masks a silence that waits. The kingdom may be a cradle of joy, but its foundation drinks from the same soil where nightmares stir. Here, survival is no gift. Every choice is a bargain, every path a trial. What seems human may wear another face, and what seems monstrous may hold a broken heart. Secrets buried for centuries stir in the soil, twisting destiny tighter with every breath. This is not a tale of crowns or kingdoms, but of a world where light is fragile, where hope withers, and where even the roots that bind the earth tremble before what waits below.![Immortal Realm [NOT EDITED.]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/253469177-256-k795117.jpg)
Immortal Realm [NOT EDITED.]
A decade of years ago when the first dispute of the both sides commenced. It inflicted heavy damage that killed most denizens of the Immortal Realm. Their dimension was destroyed and various tribes were vanished. Because of the rancor of their Ancestress Creator, she offered her own life to the renascent of a new phase of their world. Do you think what the Ancestress Creator did was worth it or will they have to deal with a lot more struggles? @Belaxluna -01/03/18 to 01/14/22Complete
Deathless Rising
The full might of the Deathless horde has been unleashed, threatening all life. If Aureus hopes to stop them, restore magic, and resurrect Xiomara, he must master his new abilities and uncover the Arcanarium's darkest secret before Aetheria falls into ruin. As Aureus delves deeper into the mystery of his connection with the Unseelie Court and Erenyx, the god of death, others rise to meet the Deathless scourge... For Cahira, fighting the Deathless means liberating her city and avenging the dead. For twins Astra and Lux, it's a chance to do what's right, even if it means losing each other. For Barca, holding the line means repeating past sins for the greater good. Humanity's future hangs in the balance, and though not everything is as it seems, one thing is certain: Aetheria will never be the same again. Deathless Rising is the second of three short story collections in The Aetherian Cycle that explore just how personal the end of the world can be.Complete

Centuries forward, Centuries back
A dracarvi royal, Guinevere discovers she is betrothed to a prince who promised to be devoted and take ownership of the kingdom her father labored decades to earn.

She disguises her true identity to a woman named Rylie, who starts to take a liking for her at the expense of her friendship which isn't so friendly.
