Paradox is both strange and dangerous. It's likened to a twisted mirror of your world. It's similar in many ways but at the same time is very, very different.
Paradox is made up of six continents. Sylphyr to the northwest. Sylphyr is mostly rainforest. It's a tropical rainforest in the northern half, and a temperate rainforest in the southern half. It also has a large swath of swamplands to the south east. This land used to house a grand kingdom, but it didn't survive into the seventh era. It's now home to a small queendom of pirates. To the southwest is Dreamyr. Dreamyr is a land best described as ‘bathed in shadow’. The atmosphere is thick, and is deep purple no matter where you go, and you can never see the sky. This continent is dominated by two trading empires, Shaelax in the east and Lylyria in the west. In the midsouth lies Nil Yn. It's cut into two by a man made strait. The entire continent forms a massive U shape, with an island in the middle. The eastern half of Nil Yn is mostly prismatic forest, with a massive savanna in the far south. On the west side the entire landscape is covered with cherry blossom forests. Three kingdoms lie here, Yn Dyr in the east, Yn Sil in the west, and Vaelik to the northeast. In the far southeast is Gyla. Mostly desert with some tropical rainforest in the north. It's home to the kingdom of Nyjula. To the north of Gyla is Alexandria. Dominated mostly by mountain ranges, and red forests, only one queendon makes its home here, which is also known as Alexandria. And finally, in the middle east lies Vyra. It's the only continent that resides within the circles of Neve and Eir, and is extremely cold but still habitable.

Paradox is tilted at 55° which switches the where the cold and hot areas are. On Paradox, the equator is where The Circles of Eir and Neve are, and is the coldest part of the world. The poles are the hottest, and contain The Tropics of Adara and Nuria. Paradox is also overall warmer, which means that the oceans at the equator don't freeze over.
Paradox has two moons, both of which are very large and habitable. Nova is the larger moon, and is almost completely made up of water. It's also completely frozen over, and only has one land mass. Pyre is slightly smaller, and is extremely hot. It's mostly just a massive, sandy desert with little water.
Paradox is about twice the radius of earth. Nova and Pyre are about the same size of earth.
On Paradox we measure time like this XE/XY/XM/XD stating the era, year, month, and day in that order. Paradox orbits very far away from our sun, so its year is 1092 days. Months are all 91 days long, with 13 seven day weeks. A day is 36 hours, and hours, minutes, and seconds are the same as yours. Our seasons run from 10M/1D to 1M/1D (The Ice Spell) then from 1M/1D to 4M/1D (The Flora Spell) then from 4M/1D to 7M/1D (The Fire Spell) 7M/1D to 10M/1D (The Earth Spell)

8 70The WereLionesses Mate
She was running out of breath, but that didn't matter, all that mattered was getting away from him and proving him wrong. Branches scraped her face and her arms, her body burning hot; but cold from her sweat as the wind blew over her skin. Her pants soaked from running through the streams, her shirt ripped to shreds around her stomach from very low hanging branches. Her hair, a tumbling fiery mess of tangles, and waves slipping through the ponytail she had quickly fastened trying to tame her wild hair. Running and crawling on the ground through the forest floor, trying to get back to the camp grounds so Whhooossshhhh! All of a sudden a giant gust of wind flew past her nearly lifting her off the ground and throwing her into a tree. Where in the world did that wind come from? She thought, but she kept running like it had never happened. She jumped over a fallen log, ignoring the fact that she almost fell in the process. She zoomed past all the trees and sprinted over the roots coming out of the ground. She rounded another tree coming to a sudden halt at seeing him standing there with a drink in his hand laughing and joking. She stood there wondering how in the world he could have beaten her here; He looked at her then, He looked, well, handsome, his faced was clean shaven and his button up shirt was all unbuttoned minus the three at the bottom. She could still visibly see his bronze chest and the top of his ripped-hard abs. He walked over to her and smiled, showing all of his teeth, the smile reaching his eyes. His eyes were dark and stormy, their color was usually a nice honey brown but now his eyes looked mid-night black. They looked like they could kill a man at eighty paces, but could sweep a woman off her feet at the same time.

8 175His Pet | Leatherface X OC (16+)
"Ohhhh, who's this again?" The creep asked. The one with the chainsaw shrugged quickly, looking to his right. I felt my heart jumping out of my stomach and my adrenaline pumping. "Bubba's got a girlfriend!" The creep bounced up and down, chanting that stupid shit. "P-please..." I begged. I looked into the killer's eyes. He looked.. embarrassed? He has emotion? Is that why he's not killing me? I saw him reach out to open the lock but his brother shoved him back, grabbing the lightweight chainsaw as he did. "Either sex... or the saw, Leatherface." His brother held up a chainsaw. I let out a small scream. "Le-leather... f-face?" I gasped, trying to somehow earn more sympathy. He looked at me and nervously fiddled with his tie. Please, dear God, please.... show emotion any emotion! -Warning-SwearingSexual content Sexual tension GoreKillingBloodBad humor;)
