How beautifully Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen of 1789 was debunked with just the flick of the Goddess' finger. How gracefully Birthright was snatched from the Nameless for daring to come into this clean, clean Universe with their filthy, filthy blood. How dreadfully the World once again fell for pretty people and deceptive words - right into the trap of surreal slavery in ways unbeknownst to man. *** Josephine and Josette, two 'Nameless' girls, strived for their Birthright. Adopted by the Church, the Nameless children were bound to the fate of doom, torment, and experimentation. They have extra-ordinary powers: from regeneration to eidetic memory, they were experimented on to advance mankind to another level in the sphere of medicine. Josephine and Josette, rebellious by nature, decide to find out if they are truly 'Nameless' or not. But they don't find their names in the Holy Book of Nom. Now subjected to extreme punishment through sacrifice for breaking the rules; gazing into the weakness of people was treason - they must be killed without fail. However, finding out a very important piece of the puzzle, the very beginning of this tyranny against the Nameless - the Goddess, Josephine is convinced they can find 'it' in Paris, the center of France. The Goddess' Holy Name. Running away from the folks of France, wanted dead, either they shall turn their 'merciful' Goddess into a Nameless and let her experience the hell they go through, or, simply put, they die. 'Birthright' is a Retelling of Fantastical second French Revolution from the aspect of a Fantasy Setting. *** TRIGGER WARNING: Sensitive themes such as Torture, Discrimination, Sexual Division of Labor etc. Was an ONC 2021 entry born from the prompts #1 (Action/Adventure), #20 (Fantasy), #56 (Mystery & Thriller) and #66 (Paranormal)!

Imani was just supposed to make sure that the lost dog got home safely, come back, and pretend like the mere thought of the owner with doe eyes and an armful of tattoos didn't make her question her entire belief system. Sounds simple enough...right? It isn't. (onc prompt #69 | when music becomes a way to communicate no words could compare)
