"Those pixies are evil, I don't care what you say!" I told Luna, as we sat in the library.
"They are just curious, little creatures. They are no bigger than my hand, they couldn't have gone far with it. I'll make you a protection jar." Luna laughed.
Some how a pixie got into my room, and took my lucky silver coin.
"Those little blue bastards, always going for the shiny shit." I chuckled.
I hate pixies, always taking stuff and making a mess.
One time one of them smeared one of my lipsticks everywhere, and pissed in one of my shoes.
Luna, and I had a free period.
She used it to read up on the little facts that she's loves so much.
I went with to hear her talk about the new things she learned... and it gave me a mental break from the classes.
I always feel calm when I'm with Luna, maybe it was because of her soft voice that she always spoke in.
My eyes drifted to Draco, asentered the library.
He walked proudly through the large room, and came up to our table.
He pulled a chair from another, as sat down next to me and Luna.
"How are you two, this fine afternoon?" Draco smiled wide, as he spoke in an upbeat voice.
I looked at Luna in the silence of the library.
What was he doing?
"Pixies are cute little harmless creatures, don't you think?" Luna smiled awkwardly.
"Yeah, I guess they are cute." Draco balanced his chair on the back two legs as he spoke.
Draco... calling something cute... he had to be on something.
"Um... are you ok?" I asked, him giving him a weird look.
"Never better, why?" Draco rested his hands on the back of his neck.

I looked at Luna, then at Draco, then back to Luna.
"You know, your eyebrows are darker than your hair on your head." Luna told Draco.
I had to hold my laugh in, Luna says the funniest things sometimes.
"Welp, gotta go. Bye, Luna." I said quickly.
I bolted up from my chair, and quickly left the library.
Well, that was awkward... and weird of Draco.
Just plopping down by us, and acting like that was normal of him.
I felt bad leaving Luna to fend for herself by Draco, but I needed to get out of there.
I looked back for a second.
Draco was actually talking to Luna....
his hands moved throughout the air as he spoke.
I could see Luna nodding her head as she replied to him.
What the hell?
I shook my head, as I walked too the great room to get something to eat before going to my next class.
When I entered my next class,, I sat an empty table. It was next to Hermione's table.
Harry was already sitting next to her in the only other chair at her table.
That's how McGonagall always set up her room, two chairs at a table.
"You took my spot." I told Harry, as I sat down.
"Be quicker next time." Harry laughed.
I rolled my eyes.
Draco quickly walked up, and set his things down on my table, before sitting in the empty chair next to me.
I my eyes got wide as I looked at Hermione, and Harry.
Harry had a grin appear on his face.
"You look quite angelic today, if I do say so." Draco turned his head to me, as he spoke.
I turned to Draco, and gave him a 'what the fuck look', as the whole class began to stare at us.

I turned back to look at Hermione, and Harry.
Harry began to chuckle, Hermione wacked him in the back of the head with her note book.
"What do I do?" I whispered to her.
Hermione shrugged.
"You've always had lovely hair, auburn is it? It goes great with your porcelain skin, and green eyes." Draco smiled, as he twirled a strand of my hair between his fingers.
What the fuck was going on?!
"Do you think he's on drugs?" I whispered to Hermione.
"I'm not on drugs." Draco replied my question.
"Alright class, settle down." Professor McGonagall spoke, "Today work on your OWl studies with your table partner.... it's a free study class today. I'm behind on my paperwork."
I looked up at her, she smiled and shook her head, as she sat down at her desk.
The classroom hummed a low chatter, as people studied and attempted to memorize their OWL's
"What are we going to study?" Draco asked as he opened his text book.
Draco smiled widely, as he folded his arms on the table top.
Draco looked at me with his sweet smile plastered on his face, his eyes looked kind.
They had even more blue in them than ever before.
The blue specks seemed to grow everytime I saw them. His eyes looked like they were almost 50 percent blue now.
"Im.... um... not studying today..... " I trailed off, as I looked away from him.
Draco lifted my face up, by putting his hand underneath my chin.
"I don't feel like studying either, darling." Draco spoke softly to me.
His dreamy eyes danced with happiness.
Draco's hands felt so nice on my skin.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked, as I pushed his hand away. "Are you sure you didn't take anything?"
"Why do you keep asking me that, darling? I'm being nice, like you said."
"Well... I thought we were still keeping everything a secret. They are going to be asking questions for sure."
"Just because they ask, doesn't mean you have to tell..." Draco smirked, raising his eyebrows.
Draco bit his bottom lip, and chuckled.
How could Draco go from calling me a mudblood, to calling me darling in a matter of days?
For years he's been a complete ass, but now he's sitting by me in class and playing with my hair.
Draco cared too much about his ego to be acting like this.... in front of people.
I don't believe it for a second.

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
