The Dragons Shadow

"Some shadows aren't cast by the sun... they are born from the people we love the most." Elara was supposed to be strong — the eldest, the example, the quiet protector of a house that never asked how she was doing. But the silence grew heavier during lockdown. Between online classes, suffocating expectations, and the pressure to never break, she forgot what it felt like to simply breathe. Mira, her younger sister, was the fire — wild, loud, and unwilling to play by anyone's rules. But when that fire was misunderstood, punished, and nearly taken away, it triggered a storm neither of them were ready for. As betrayal, loss, and rebellion rise in their home, two sisters are forced to confront a truth they’ve both been avoiding: that love alone isn’t always enough to save someone. Can two girls lost in their own shadows find the light before it's too late?

Ash lives in the quiet space between attention and absence — a watcher, a listener, a boy most people overlook. In a world where secrets are currency and truth is never simple, he trades in glimpses and guesses, building a life out of things left unspoken. As he follows the threads of knowledge, strange talents, and quiet possibility, he begins to uncover something more personal than mystery: potential. Not quite a thief, not quite a spy, and not quite ordinary, Ash walks the line between what is and what might be. His journey isn't about saving the world — it's about discovering what he might be to it.

In a world where magic reigns supreme, the powerhouses of the world cast deep, dark shadows. The weak, if they were lucky to survive, could only live like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Lucian and the villagers of Onyx were examples of such lambs. While they hoped for a peaceful life, destiny had other plans. . . . Powerless to fight back, Lucian despaired as the acrid smell of blood permeated his senses. Dead. Everybody was dead. The corpses of his loved ones lay mangled, torn, and lifeless across his feet. The loss of his family had left him despaired, broken. But... This wouldn't be the end. He wouldn't let it be. He'd get his revenge on whoever did this. By any means necessary. He'd smother his enemies with their own shadow. Armed with the knowledge granted to him by a clandestine organization, he would expand his power, refine his magic, build connections, and ensure retribution upon his foes. He would become The Supreme Shadow.

Samuel Zaya, a man with an immense love for all things reptillian, is suddenly thrown into a chaotic apocalyptic world full of monsters, inhumane people, and neverending slaughter. Does our main character and his scaly friends remain on the side of good? Evil? Or... do they very carefully tread that line?

Who are you?" I sluttered, attempting to take a step back but my feet seemed rooted to a spot. The mysterious man smiled, his eyes glinting in amusement, "I am someone who knows you," he said, his voice dripping with an otherworldly intensity. "I am someone who has been waiting for you." I looked around, I was surrounded by lifeless Bodies, slaughtered brutally by something worse than a monster, "What happened here?" I asked, struggling to keep my voice steady. The mysterious man chuckled, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "They are dead, you killed them all." He said, his eyes glistening in happiness, "You've become the person I knew you would be." I felt a pang, I looked at my hands, they were covered with blood. However, the question remains: did I really kill all these people? If yes… then who or what am I?
