Welcome to ! Your spellbinding hub for all things magical and fantastical. From wizards to mermaids, we have it all. When someone says "Halloween", one must think about magic immediately, right? Well, we thought so! Get ready for a magical journey and join the fun with our rather mysterious prompt down below!

It happened again. You knew it would happen again, because it did so last year. And the year before. Actually, it happened as long as you can remember. Nobody really talks about it. There are a few people that camp outside that empty shop at the end of your block, which isn't that empty anymore when Hallows Eve approaches.
Every year at Hallows Eve, a shop appears on that very corner you pass everyday. There is a small sign that reads "POTIONS, INC.". It's the same spooky, dark and rather deserted shop every year. And every year you, and most likely the entire village, decide to ignore it completely.
But this year is different. You've seen this shop for so many years and you know in just a few hours, it will completely vanish again. This year, your curiosity wins and you decide to do that one thing your parents have begged you to not do: you decide to check it out.

Agenda of the Villainess
As the daughter of a duke, Lady Alicia Senius expected to awaken her latent magical ability during her Blooming ceremony. She was not expecting her connection to the flowers of Fate to awaken memories of a past life, however, and certainly not memories that were somehow inextricably tied with her future. Now, Alicia must find a way to escape the fatal punishment that is the destiny of a villainous noble girl. In doing so, she might even alter the fate of the whole world. This novel is a steampunk take on the otome villainess genre, heavily inspired by the late Victorian era of England and with a system of magic based around floweral circuitry. If that sounds like your cup of tea, why not give it a shot? Updates on Thursday every week.

The Interstellar Artship
Hello? Traveler? Hi. My name is Silas. I’m the Chronicler around here. Might I entreat you to stay with us a while? We are a meager fleet of artships, eking our way across the charred and shrewd universe. Please, join us around the table and tell us your story. Our lives depend on it. I’m sure you know this world proves demanding, strange, and lonely. But here we go together, a caravan fleet of spacefarers, challenging the starry frontier, investigating the strangeness. Our warp-drives run on inspiration—a volatile fuel collected from the active minds of the artists, writers, and musicians among us. But the clock runs out—the Heartless in their scarships seek to destroy all that is beautiful, systematically deconstructing all creativity in order to fuel their weapons and feed their evil powers. We’ve all been hurt by those hateful devourers. We’ve all lost loved ones. But no more. No more, I say! Together we unite and make our arduous journey to the dreadful Shattered Suns—the home of our enemy. Once and for all the question shall be answered—the path to life shall show itself. **** If you would like to read the Artifacts which Silas and the Sojournor crew restore, visit our patreon page. The Chronicles are cowritten by Paul T. Gibson and Lydia Donaldson.
