Happiness is...
the feeling of warmth that emanates through my body when I lie under the rays of the sun.
Happiness is...
being loved by someone for who you are, a second time.
Happiness is...
the feeling of cool water surrounding you when your skin seems to be set on fire.
Happiness is...
dancing around a ballroom barefoot, with only yourself, and the rhythms in your head.
Happiness is...
a warm embrace on a cold winters morning.
Happiness is...
the feeling of soft, silky covers after a long day on your feet.
Happiness is...
running amidst a field of wildflowers, your dress billowing in the wind behind you, and your hair free of uncomfortable clips.
Happiness is...
the feeling of your barefeet among the grassy ground, a soft breeze carrying the sweet scent of spring.
Happiness is...
the sound of nothing around you except the whispering of the breeze.
Happiness is...
the taste of your favorite food, after a long time on an empty stomach, and the aroma as it fills your nostrils after a long time of living without it.
Happiness is...
the freedom of making decisions on your own.
Happiness is...
the feeling of a soft, loving kiss on your lips, after accepting the fact you may never feel one again.
Happiness is...
the stars that dance across your skin when you feel gentle fingertips caress your skin.
Happiness is...
looking in the mirror and finally seeing your true self for the very first time.
Happiness is...
the feeling of a smooth ring sliding onto your finger, and the knowledge that you've finally achieved the love you deserve.
Happiness is...
finally finding the sense of home everyone talks about in stories.
Happiness is...
being called beautiful like it's your name.
Happiness is...
dancing with someone you love to the melody the birds make, as the sun illuminates your skin.
Happiness is...
looking deeply into emerald eyes and allowing yourself to be lost.

Moonblood
Five moons rise over Evanir, each in her own cycle, and each moon is also a god, one of five sisters. Many gods create spirit attendants and companions, brought forth fully-formed. Long ago, the moons worked together to create a lineage that are, instead, humans transformed by the mingling of blood. They intended them to be long-lived and to draw their strength directly from the light of the moon who chose each individual. The five sisters had different goals in mind – one wanted it to be a blessing for scholars and artists, to give them more time and fewer physical distractions; another wanted them to have an animal form, different for each, to keep them more in tune with nature so they could serve as guardians of the wilderness. There are drawbacks to their children having human lives and personalities before being chosen: not all share the goals of their divine mothers, and some choose to put their gifts to darker uses. Those carrying the blood of one woman, fleeing the corruption in search of a quiet life, take a different path. -=-=-=-=- Moonblood isn't so much a novel as a series of adventures of varying length. They involve a core group of people, which does grow over time. They take place in a fairly low-magic world, but despite that, our core cast are directly connected to the moons and have various abilities, including limited shapeshifting to a single individual animal form. As with all my work, unless gender, orientation, or other aspects of sexuality are explicitly stated, I suggest not making assumptions. Probably most significant, I think, is a major trans character who appears about 80K words in - no spoilers, just a note for those who care about that one way or the other.

EX: Emblem
Since humans were first born onto this world, they have been marked with an emblem. This emblem would dedicate their fate. Those marked with the strength’s emblem would become great warriors, while those marked as the wisdom’s emblem were destined to become great mages.

In a world where the emblem determines one's fate, Lynn, a 15-year old freshman, is one without these two. To be one out of a billion, will he be able to survive in this world? 500-2000 words per chapter. 1/2 years per update.
