"No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it." -Terry Pratchett Where were you when the world came to a screeching halt? When society crumbled? Where were you when order and structure were replaced with complete and total chaos? Where were you when the dead began to rise? Bad news tended to create lasting memories. It was easy for some to remember the exact moment in their lives when they found out the world they knew was dead. Some were in the safety of their home watching news stories of people being torn apart and eaten alive. Some were out on the streets rioting and thriving in the waves of trouble this new fear brought. Some learned of the end the hard way as they were forced to witness this cruel new world take a loved one away from them. In the end, it doesn't matter where one was when the end of the world came. It doesn't even matter who one used to be. The dead now ruled the world and they craved the taste of flesh regardless of who it belonged to. The real question now, the only one that truly mattered anymore, was this: Who were you going to become?

It's funny how one night can change your life. As a college student, the only thing you really ever worried about was passing your classes, keeping in touch with your friends, if your boyfriend was cheating on you, and when the next racial slur was going to be thrown at you for being Al Bhed. You never expected to get caught up in anything bigger than that, but in one night that all changed. Death clawed its way into your life. A girl was murdered in cold blood in the bathroom, a girl you would have every reason to hate, and all fingers pointed at you. But you couldn't have done something like that, right? So then...who?

"Our next is a girl of eighteen summers. She has smooth, unblemished skin and has been schooled in the arts of love and seduction. But most of all, she is untouched." my auctioneer and captor said as he paraded me in front of the men. They eyed their fill of my body but they were forbidden to touch. "Bidding starts at two hundred pieces of silver." I was returned towards the stage as the men stated their prices. I was a rare commodity: a slave girl yet untouched, eighteen, fertile when the land has been struck with a plague that left women barren. The price for me reached eight hundred silver coins and many have already backed down. "Two hundred gold coins!" a man spoke up. It was he, the man who stared at me with passion and desire in his eyes moments ago. That was quite a sum for a slave! "Two hundred gold coins going once, twice... Sold to the King of Ivaris!" the auctioneer shouted. There it was. My fate was sealed. I am a love slave and it is just my luck that I am sold to the same cruel king that destroyed my kingdom. *A story of love, of gods and goddesses, of reincarnation and magic, intrigue and betrayal, of kings and war...* ***Credits to @DarkLeague for the cover***
