Hate and love, love and hate.
Which do you believe is stronger?
Both can give you a unimaginable amount of courage and strength, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Hate burns inside you like fire, giving you a fierce, ruthless edge, and a desire for revenge so strong it can destroy you.
That's what hate does. It destroys you. Takes everything you are, and breaks it down, then takes it all away. Everything you are. Everything you've ever been. Everything you ever will be.
Hate changes all that.
And yet, doesn't love? Love can destroy us just as well. It can blind us to the others flaws, making us vulnerable. Making us weak.
And with this weekness, be become easy targets. And those in love will be targetted. Their love used against them like a weapon.
Love and hate, hate and love.
Which would you rather be destroyed by?

Some people see faeries as tiny, winged, petite little people with clear little wings. That's fine, they can imagine it that way if they want. But it doesn't change the fact that they are wrong.
Some people see faeries as being innocent little sweethearts who watch over people like guardian angels while they sleep, granting princesses wishes. That's a lovely little picture, but is again, false.
In fact, faeries don't even care about humans. The pathetic magicless people mean nothing to them.
There are two kinds of faeries. You may know this already, as it's pretty common knowledge. The dark faeries and the light.
The light faeries are genuinely kind people, though they're quite capable of bad. They are usually rather innocent, or at least compared to the dark faeries.
The dark faeries are not completely evil, though they're not exactly hesitant to use dark magic. They are mistivious, mysterious, and independent.
There was once great hatred between the two different types of faeries, and a war broke out. You know the saying, 'light always defeats darkness'? Well that's not always true when it comes to dark and light faeries. However, many dark faeries died before a truce was finally made, and the two races joined together. Since so many of the dark faeries had died, there was only about 1/10th of their numbers from before. The light faeries were still great in number still.
Although the faeries live in peace, many light faeries still distrust the dark faeries.
Even so, peace was maintained for hundreds of years.
But one day the dark elves began rising up. They were just as dark as the dark faeries, and they greatly outnumbered the faeries. It wasn't long before a new war began, but this time the light and dark faeries were on the same side.
Being outnumbered so greatly the odds were not exactly in the faeries favor. But they had courage, and their magic was strong. As the final battle lines were drawn, the destiny of both the faeries and the dark elves came to depend on the choices of four; two dark elves, a light faeries, and a dark faerie.
The destiny of hundreds of lives rested on four sets of shoulders. The truth was soon to come out. Who was more powerful?
The light or the darkness?
