Sandy Sijtsma

Nova scrambled backwards, panting hard, her short locks clinging to her damp forehead as she watched this predator stalk towards her. The vibrant and lively forest hushed, almost holding its breath to watch the scene unfold. Great, she had an audience for what would surely be a gruesome death. Death looked... a little... rugged and in nothing but a loin cloth, defined by slabs of muscle, a trail of hair leading down to such a small piece of cloth to hide a large- A spine-chilling growl snapped her gaze back up to meet his golden-red eyes, fiery, and intense, glaring at Nova as he slammed his hands either side of her head. Pieces of bark crumbled down from the impact. "I told you not to run..." He threatened, his eyes piercing hers, his voice more guttural than she'd heard from any male. His eyes clenched shut as his body trembled. "My instinct is to always stalk, always chase... until I get what I want.." Their faces were inches apart. She could feel his hot breath fanning her face. The forest was humid and hot, and his body was so close to hers that it was almost unbearable. The gruff voice, those words and the intensity of those eyes that reminded her of sunsets caused goosebumps to flourish across her arms. "What do you want?" Nova swallowed, not recognising her voice. She was so out of her depth. His chest rumbled, and more bark crumbled down from behind her head. "You..." Her breath hitched. "To. Do. As. You're. Told." - Paradise was what Nova Winslow was promised when her boyfriend whisked her away to Isla De Tayun, the perfect getaway for their busy lives. It was untouched, pristine, a hidden gem. But it had remained that way for a reason. The island doesn’t want visitors. And neither do the natives. What should have been a romantic retreat, drinking from coconuts and lounging on white-sandy beaches together, turns into a holiday from hell. Mid-argument with her soon-to-be ex, Nova stumbles into a lake. When she resurfaces, her boyfriend, the path she came from, and the resort have vanished. Alone, stranded, and with little survival skills, Nova has only a wet phone with no signal, a pair of heels, and an irrational fear of bats—which are everywhere. She is out of her depth when she falls into a mystical world of beasts. Hunted by tribesmen, stalked by beasts that shouldn't exist, and hearing animals speak, she has no choice but to trust the wild beast the forest itself fears—Yoa, a wanted man. Together, they flee the tribes pursuing them all while battling her growing attraction to Yoa. Can she survive the wild and make it back to her civilised life? Or will she lose herself to the untamed world—and to the man who belongs to it? #Beast #Ssssteamy #Adventure #Mythical #R18 -- THERE WILL BE MATURE CONTENT!! -- If you are enjoying the story, please vote with a power stone, leave comments and review! -- Cover Image: In the middle of getting one commissioned.

The single continent of Kharon was divided into three separate continents by the Sun Dragon King, one of the seven Dragon Kings, after the great war. The spaces between the continents were filled with water by Vinea, the King of the Ocean Dragons, resulting in vast oceans now separating the continents.In the northeast lies Magia Terrae, a region inhabited by elves and dragons. It is a land of sandy soil, trees, plants, and insects, where every living and non-living thing harbors magic within. Dragons and elves are born with magic tied to specific sources depending on their kind—for example, Moonlight Elves are naturally attuned to magic derived from the Moon source.To the south lies the largest continent, belonging to humans. Humans may be born attuned to any magical source, or they may be born with no affinity for any magical source at all.In the northwest is the demon continent, composed of lands filled with a variety of powerful monsters and demons. The use of dark magic is widespread here. Demons are born with an innate affinity for dark magic, often alongside another magical source, and their most notable trait is their ability to evolve once they attain sufficient magical power.The sources of magic consist of seven types: the Sun source, the Moon source, the Sky source, the Ocean source, the Earth source, the Darkness source, and the Space-Time source.

In a world where death has been defeated by technology, humanity is divided between two irreconcilable camps: the transhumanists, who seek immortality through the digitalization of the mind, and the purists, who defend the human essence and see technology as a threat to the soul. In the midst of this war, Cooper Tower, a disenchanted employee of a transhumanist corporation, discovers that his routine job hides secrets that could change the fate of humanity. It all begins when Cooper meets Kelly, an eight-year-old boy whose mind has been transferred to a database after a tragic accident. As he interacts with Kelly, Cooper begins to question whether what he hears is really the child's soul or just a simulation created by artificial intelligence. Is Kelly a living person trapped in a machine, or just an illusion designed to comfort the living? When the organization is attacked by the Purists, Cooper is forced to flee with the data card containing Kelly's mind. On his way, he crosses paths with Sandy, a police detective investigating the Purist attacks. Although Sandy secretly sympathizes with the Purists, her encounter with Cooper and Kelly leads her to question everything she thinks she knows about life, death and the soul.

Since I was born I've been a bit fragile. My bones are brittle with disease and my body constantly fighting itself. I missed many things in life and the world around me. I've never actually been in a classroom or had people other than family and it's been nine months since even they have visited. I missed championships and wars. I missed dances and celebrations. Sadly there was nothing I could do condemned to be in this hospital for all time. Calmly I studied the things I could never do like blacksmithing and combat strategies. Being male and this fragile is maddening but I'm sure it would be for anyone in my position. There is a new scientific discovery that's being unveiled today. I would have loved to be there and see it live but watching from the television is fine. I wonder what this quantum particle accelerator will bring with it. Maybe humanity will advance on this day and maybe before I die I might walk once on the beach. Watching this brilliant light show is amazing but slightly frightening at the moment it doesn't seem to be going the way it should. Havoc is ensuing within the testing site and people are rapidly being torn apart. It is horrifying but I can't look away as a black rift into the unknown best forth from seemingly nothing but thin air. The winds are swelling and the ground even here is shaking but I'm on the other side of the country. People are panicking in mass not knowing what to expect but then something willing violent bit happened as it looked like two worlds were merged in the blink of an explosion. The world has changed as what scientists would later call dimensional convergence. A message was heard in the heads of most humans that say as all manner of mythical creature appeared in mass! Our world had tripled in size and the message simply said “We don't know how we came but we are here to stay, let us have peace!” or so that's what I was told. What I heard though was “Time has not been kind so I will turn your greatest weakness into the ultimate power!” this is where is all began...and where the world started to end!

But it felt so real, the pain of metal piercing his neck, the impact of his dying body on the sandy floors of a world where the sky was a diminishing shade of turquoise, splotched with the occasional light, like a daunting prison cell. What an odd dream that was. (All content in this story is attributed to Deepwoken.)
