Izzy's pov:
It was starting to get light when I heard a car pull up on the edge of the forest. This made me nervous as there wasn't a car park.
Then I heard someone say, "You're sure the lady said that this is where they went?"
I recognised that voice. It was the voice of Julie our social worker. I quickly woke Flo and told her to grab everything and run. I grabbed the blanket while she put the food that we had got out away.
"THERE THEY ARE!!" I heard someone yell.
We grabbed our bags and sprinted through the forest. It started to snow which made things ten times harder to run, I just hoped it didn't lay to thick so they wouldn't be able to trace out footsteps.
I could slowly hear their shouts getting further and further away so I looked back and instantly regretted it.
Although they were nowhere to be seen, I wasn't looking where I was running my foot slipped on the icy ground and down a rabbit hole, I screamed in pain. Flo was instantly by my side telling me to be quite. She pulled me up and helped me walk.
We took a sharp right so that if they followed the noise of my scream they would keep going straight. We sat down behind a rock so I could rest my ankle.
I pulled up my trouser leg and looked at it. It was purple all around the bone and massively swelled. I didn't know if it was broken or just badly sprained.
I heard a ripping sound so I looked up to see Flo tearing off her sleeve. She started to wrap it around my ankle. I told her that she didn't have to do that and she was just going to freeze to death but she wouldn't listen. I knew we couldn't stop so she helped me up and we continued on. I was starting to feel dizzy with cold and also the pain in my ankle was becoming unbearable. I just kept walking though as we couldn't stop or they would find us.

Eventually, we came out of the forest and onto a road. I turned back as I knew we couldn't walk along the road as we would get spotted, but Flo pulled me back on the road.
"It will be easier on your ankle." She said. I nodded and we continued. This is why Flo was my best friend, we were like sisters.
I knew that somehow, we would make it through this. Together.

King given from God
Fifteen years ago, Earth awakened to magic. Millions reached out for their dreams, dimensional travel, reincarnation, cultivation towards godhood, superhero powers, game like support systems. There were many more who never had any interest in the fantastical, but thanks to the drive and effort they had for other things, they achieved much. Others yet, who desperately desired magic, failed even the first steps. It turned out, just like with everything mundane, nothing can be achieved without effort. Join Mathew, who for the first five years effortlessly learned the basics of psionics and fire magic. Then.. grew complacent, frustrated when he couldn't do the magic the way he wanted to, and over the next few years.. slowly forgot how to even light a cigarette or move a cup of tea over to himself. Now, mundane as could be, older and without education for everyday jobs.. he hopes to get back up, and maybe just once, for even few meters, to fly. After all, the greater the dream, the more crushing the expectations it makes you put on yourself. (cover is temporary until snow falls down)

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
