This book is literally going to be whatever I say, goes. Don't question it or, I swear- I will never post another chapter. 😒 I'm literally taking the characters and putting them in my own world with my own OCs. 😗
The fuck am I explaining myself for?
😂 Just go with it.
Also, Trigger Warning for all future chapters: ⚠️some physical and possibly verbal abuse ⚠️ occurs in this story.
Enjoy.
-JelloGelatin❤ ------- Today was one of the darkest nights in the history of Eculia.
Pant.
Pant.
Pant.
I ran as fast as I could down the cobblestone streets in the pouring rain; my bare feet splashing through small puddles.
The sound of armor clanking and tired screams sounded from behind me.
I glanced back to see dimly burning torches in the distance.
We were under attack.
You see...Eculia has been at war with a man of great power who has control over terrible creatures.
What makes them so terrible?
A loud roar screeched from in front of me and I flinched as tentacles started to fly from out of its mouth.

They're invisible.
Well- invisible to everyone except for me.
I ducked into an alley way and ran as fast as I could.
The sound of bricks falling behind me as the creature crashed into the narrow walls; while chasing me, urged me to run faster.
I turned another corner and saw another creature screeching as it slaughtered a soldier trying to fight it.
I yelped and ran in the other direction nearly getting sliced by the one that was chasing me.
I was a few blocks away from my home. I kept running until I saw a knight swinging his blade around blindly as a creature approached him.
I furrowed my brows before running towards him.
"LOOK OUT!"
The creature turned to me and I slid across the damp stones, earning a few scratches instead of losing my head.
I yanked the sword from the knight's hand and sliced the creature's head off as it leaned down to attack with its mouth.
It became visible as it hit the ground with a loud boom.
"What the-"
"Shush." I raised my hand at the man in armor.
I spun around and glanced around for anymore.
The area seemed to be clear and I relaxed. "Here."
I handed him back his sword, extending the handle towards him. He furrowed his brows and grabbed it. "How did you know where it was?"
"Don't worry about that." I mumbled before turning to walk away.
"Hey- what's your name?"
I arched a brow. "Jacob."
"You got a last name?" He frowned.
"Does it matter?"
"I guess not."
"What's your name?"
"Horace."
"Alright. Well, nice to meet you." I nodded. "I'll be off now."
"Where I can I find you tomorrow?"
"When?"
"When the sun is at its highest?"
I hesitated before answering. "Near the fountain, I suppose."
"Alright. Then I'll see you then."
I nodded. "Be careful tonight."
"You too."
I ran off, leaving him by the dead creature.
Now, you're probably wondering what that creature is...
It's a hollowgast- hollow for short.
The people of Eculia have been fighting these beasts for nearly half a century; which caused our land to split into two kingdoms: Spéir and Bláth Farraige.
Spéir kisses the sky on the tops of mountains and Bláth Farraige rests by the sea.
The kingdoms split when the king and queen were slaughtered and devoured by hollowgast, leaving their two knights their grand kingdom.
It was difficult protecting the land as one so they divided it.
The people of Bláth Farraige lost their King while he was at battle and his wife died of a nasty illness; leaving their only daughter the throne.
Queen Emma was beautiful and kind just like a queen ought to be, but she had to marry... And she had only one option, unless she wanted to marry a common man or a mythical creature.
And who would that be?
The Sky Queen's son; Enoch.
He was demented and cruel, but had quite a charming face.
But with us being in constant battle with the hollows and their commander, marriage would be the last thing on everyone's mind.
