The candles burned brightly atop the cake. 74 flames danced and flickered as all of Wallace’s loved ones sang. He smiled weakly even though his heart was heavy. Another year gone. Another year of toiling away at the tavern, of watching young bright eyed adventurers come and go. He wished with all of his heart to be one of them. He wanted so badly to turn back the clock and for things to be differe...

I’m used to people whispering when they see me. Or, even worse, they stop talking completely and just look at me with such palpable sympathy I just want to meld into the shadows.

Today was no different. I walked into the bustling village market. The air is thick with the smells of freshly baked breads and pastries. There are a rainbow of colors along the clothing stall section. Wares from around...

Intro: Welcome to the magical world of Aurelia! A few fun facts about well…. Aurelia!

1. Once a person is the ages of ‘1-3’ they’re powers will begin to devolp, the older they get the more powerful they’re powers get.

Records are inconclusive on what exactly he could do, but the untold and widespread disaster caused the World Government that rose from the ashes to make a new law mandating that all persons must receive their gift by the age of ten and that any person who has not rec...

My name is Astraea Loren. I am 8 years old. Everyone where I live gets a special power when they turn 8. My birthday is today which means I get my power! I’m a little nervous that it won’t be a very good power. I walked downstairs to my kitchen for the party.

There were lots of pastel decorations and I saw that the cake was already on the table. The candle on the cake was already lit. I walked ...

I always knew that at thirteen I would get my magical ability and I always thought that I would get the same abilities as my family.

But when I was tested by the High Mage of my village, I tested as something different, something long forgotten, something evil.

I was banished and left for dead by the village and my own family disowned me. But when I learned that I was destined for something great...
