In a world of monsters, is it possible to find the beauty in each other? Ice melts... Power ignites... Bonds forge... Just in time to clash with the impending storm on its way. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "I think you have lost your mind," Soren suddenly muttered. Then it happened: Annika grinned. A glowing warmth lit inside, heating her cold interior. There was something extraordinary about the simplicity put into a grin. The anguish lessoned, and suddenly anything was possible. Surely the sky could fall if Annika could smile? "What makes you say that?" She asked as she continued her movements. The grin acted as a soothing balm on her aching heart. Annika might've been crazy to become so easily uplifted by an everyday facial expression, but crazy seemed like a much better term to be than slave. "Only a lunatic would approach me in my slumber." His eyes remained shut, and he didn't object to her petting, so Annika didn't stop. "Well... you wouldn't know if you were asleep?" "Mmm," the sound vibrated like a guttural hum, "I awoke the second you entered." "Did you?" Annika asked as she turned her head to study his face, but this time, his eyes were open, revealing those beautiful pits of colorless depths. --------------------------------------------------------------- (WARNING: MATURE CONTENT OF ALL KINDS *EMPHASIS ON THE ALL PART*) Highest Rank: 48 (thanks to you beautiful creatures)

When trust is broken it's often hard to gain back. When an rumor is made, it's hard to stop. When a love blossoms, it's not easy to be logical. And when heartbreak occurs, it's not easy to cope. One rumor is all it takes to make a whole kingdom hate you. One strange boy is all it takes to open up again and one heartbeat is all it takes to fall stupidly in love. But in the end, one person is all it takes to cause excruciating pain and sorrow. Some things might seem easy to assume, some things are easy to conclude and some theories just seem more likely. But do not fall so easily for things. Sometimes, the surface is not the core and a person is not what they seem to be. Sometimes a situation may seem simple enough to comprehend but remember that behind every step, every action there is a story, a reason, a cause. Secrets exist to protect people from the truth, but sometimes the truth is needed to see the light. Adventure, love, mystery and many more, all complicate things so much more than they could be. But isn't it fun to unravel the reasons and see what you can find in the mess? The possibilities are endless after all...
