Desperate to keep her magic hidden, Katerina goes to great lengths to avoid dragons and mages. When she gets cornered by evil mages, her only chance at escape involves freeing a trapped dragon. * * * Katerina's biggest fear is that unscrupulous mages or dragons would discover her magic and use her as a living magical battery. When she stumbles into a group of evil mages trying to magically enslave a dragon, she releases the dragon to act as a distraction, hoping he would attack the mages while she escaped. But magic has rules, and when you free a dragon mage, it creates magedebt that they must repay, lest their magic fade. Forced to travel together, Katerina struggles to hide her magic as she accompanies Rakota and his friends while they hunt down the Shadow Mages. Rakota is one of many dragons who detest humans due to how many have tried to slay him, steal his treasure, or control him with magic. He has no desire for a rider, but when his childhood sweetheart shows up, she won't consider courtship unless he has one. As if evil mages with ancient spells aren't enough, word comes from the coast that the nagas are planning to invade and wipe out the humans. Goals and secrets clash as Katerina strives to keep her magic hidden, yet that very magic might be the key to stopping the war, and becoming Rakota's rider would give him the family he's always dreamed of. But all magic has a price, and to become a rider, she'd have to forfeit her freedom. Copyright November 2022. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy or steal this story.

DISCONTINUED PS, this is a Terrence Afton AU, it's most definitely not like the usual Terrence Afton AU, but some people really hate when he exists. He is the oldest kid. In this AU, all animatronics have human forms, they look similar to how they looked when they were human. Bon Bon is really short though. Yes, hey all used to be human and we're murdered children, killed by the almighty Purple Guy, the Man Behind the Slaughter, William Afton. And his side kicks, Glitchtrap and Vanny. But, I think we all know Elizabeth Afton died due to an incident with Circus Baby, Chris was killed accidentally by Mike, William was Springlocked and in my AU, I go with the theory Rosa got into a car crash and drove off a cliff. And Terrence committed suicide. I think we know Lizzie possesses Circus Baby, Rosa possesses Ballora, William possesses Springtrap, Terrence possesses Nightmare Foxy, C.C. possesses Shadow Freddy and Michael doesn't possesses anyone. Yes, I did make the cover picture on my own.
