the world is a game of chess. every move you make, someone is watching on the other side of the board, planning to strike you down. aradia was a pawn. that, she had always known. she was a tool made to be used in someone else's war. but even still, she fights through every scheme, trap, knight and rook. she fights, because it was what she was made to do, for every chess piece has its purpose. and even a pawn can checkmate a king. ========================================== It's a strange thing to find out that all the legends you were told as bedtime stories growing up were, in fact, real. In this world of titans and gods, magic and monsters, Aradia just wants to survive long enough to really live. But there's something deeper and ancient that lives within her soul, and it's coming out to play whether she wants it to or not. Join Aradia in her journey through both the wizarding and demigod worlds as she uncovers thousand year-old secrets that connect to her past and finally becomes the person it takes to play the game. But let's make just one thing clear: this is not a happy story.
