Summary - 00.

Harry's always lived vicariously though the illustrious fairy tales his mother crafted for him, even when it goes against everything he's supposed in.  But after a night of flames of futility, Harry questions every lesson he's ever been taught- especially the value of his own life.

Caught in the disastrous catastrophe of a father devoted to a punishing Church, and the threat of a dismal existence Harry's own book seems to be withering at the seams.  However, when Harry considers his fairy tale at an end, fate, God, some great force, decides that the cover of his story has barely been opened, and that the pages are waiting to be filled by the mysterious scrawl of a supposedly fictitious creature that dwells under forbidden waves.

And it just so happens that Harry's ready to read.

Warnings:

This story is based off of real events that took place in the mass hysteria that was the European witch trials --excluding a very obvious fantasy part.  That being said, it's extremely graphic.

In addition, this book contains homosexual themes and advances for the development of plot.  The characters in question are written to be depicted as two members of a boy band.  This story does not reflect my personal views of my relationship: it's /just/ a story.  If you can call any piece of literature /just/ a story.

Within this text, a certain number of religious aspects of the time period are brought up.  It appears to be me criticizing the entire sector of Christianity, but since I am one myself, I assure you, I'm not.  In fact, it's not even me demoting it.  It's simply the thought process of my character.  -Nothing about this story promotes or demotes any religious affiliation-

If I've not scared you with all of that, thank you for reading.
