With trouble as her only constant bedmate, the only aim, after being exiled, was to spend her life in peace and relative obscurity. A chance encounter brought back memories of her last love. The more she pursued, the more question she faced and the people who were close to her are not what they appear to be. ... more>>

Even in exile, her constant bedmate would not stop. Now, being hunted, embroiled in an age-old conspiracy, torn apart by various factions, how is a lone drow to survive? Of course, by doing what she did best, raising an army. For the dark-elf Matrons have a nasty habit of not staying down when knocked. They rise up again and come back with fury.

______________________________________________________________Volume II______________________________________________

Things should have been easy for Rylonvirah. The exiled drow matriarch has finally reunited with the love of her life, Lyria. But from the north descends a new threat, the Cambion Warlord, in his bid for ascension, to claim the title of the demon lord, rallies his horde.

Will Rylonvirah and Lyria reforge the broken bonds between them? Will the Warlord drown the world in a sea of fire? While enemies both old and new beset Rylonvirah, her greatest obstacle is Lyria herself— and the pregnant secret that she harbours.

===== Series Info=======
The world-building is a combination of DnD, Pathfinder and Elderscrolls. Though I prefer to take a few liberties if possible.

The yuri/GL Is an **extremely slow** burn one.

3. The real plot takes a while to get started. For those of you who stuck through, You have my thanks.

4. Hit 100 chapters finally and Volume II ongoing. <<less

Synopsis Updated: 5/9/2020 <<less

The only curse that had worked upon the Phoenix, after many failed attempts, was that of the ‘curse of enslavement’…In which case meant…That the Phoenix could be taken and have a master…
Due to the Phoenix being resistant of anything else, due to having Alpha like attributes, and this being a curse that would take years to recuperate from casting, it was one of last options that the golden winged serpent had left to do…And it had worked!
The Phoenix being enslaved was a way to stop the golden winged serpent’s ‘man’, the Dragon and the most powerful King of King’s from finding his beloved, his cherished other half and soul mate…And, for sixty years,... more>> he was unable to find her…

…I was indeed scattered, unable to have a normal life or that of an easy one…
For me to achieve what I’m am supposed to, as a Phoenix and as the Dragon’s other half…Am I willing? It is a tough journey after all, one that can’t be accomplished in one life, not even two…
With no idea of why I had felt a strange bond and no idea of the strange feeling of being incomplete, my heart is very uneasy.
For sixty years, I had felt like my life hadn’t been mine in two ways. One because I had a master for most of that time or I was not of age, but the other reason was because there was something missing…Something that I had been unclear of…
But, even feeling as though I was not whole, I had been enslaved, abused, threatened, blackmailed, scarred and used. I was tormented, sacrificed, abandoned, kidnapped and it was only twice that I had been reborn…So, being treated as such, stops me from questioning my feelings…
But it is destined, apparently, and so my path must continue…
When I finally come to know what it is that I have been looking for and what I have to do, will I be able to finish what I have started? Will I survive these endless, heartbreaking trails and be able to accomplish more and go to where my heart is yearning to lead me?
Will I…Accept my destiny!?

Babylon, a magical world protected by a system, and an energy shield to keep the mundane people of the universe from entering it and ruining its fragile magic system with their technology and never ending desire for watery planets to colonize. For the last two thousand years the system has had a problem though.... more>>

An incursion in the system from the elves of Babylon to influence the system in their favor had cracked the world gem, causing many civilizations to fall, and worse yet, many of the defending gods had fallen to prevent the takeover of the planet by the mundane until the gem could be patched, and air shield could be raised again. The world was headed for the dissolution of magic, which would kill a lot of its creatures.

Babylon's system needed to correct the problem. First it raised a new god to monitor the weakened system. The new system god, Lord Kasmar, god of madness and knowledge, split himself many times and turned to divination for help. The system spat out the name of a commoner who could save the world indirectly if they were given the right push by the system. This is the story of a young Elven woman called Etherstaria of the Lark clan. Who might in some tiny fraction of cases, give rise to the creature, who could help bring into being a new creatures who could open a new way to generate magic. and yes, even new gods, hopefully before it was too late. <<less
