"You said that I will have a daughter," Tella said. "Your daughter will be born with a very powerful gift. But this child will have one fatal weakness." -Finale by Stephanie Garber This is a fanfiction! Please read both the Caraval trilogy and the Once Upon A Broken Heart trilogy by Stephanie Garber before you read this. Both trilogies are connected and I can assure you there will be spoilers and things won't make any sense! ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: ﾟ:*✧ What would happen if Evangeline and Jacks' son met Donatella and Legend's daughter? ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: ﾟ:*✧ Aerith Santos was born with both blessing and curse. With her mind's touch things take flight. She can lift mountains with just a thought, but the more she uses her mind, the more she loses her memory and herself. In the peaceful yet deadly dance of her power, Aerith risks losing her very soul. It is said that Empress Scarlett Dragna is half fate and has the ability to control human emotions, although it is only a rumor. Elias Fox is sure this is no silly children's tale, because he too has inherited a gift from his father, Jacks, The Prince of Hearts. Elias wishes to travel back in time, but the Valory Arch stones have already been used by his father years ago. The only Fate who possesses the power to go back in time, The Assassin, has refused to help Elias countless times, so he has no choice but to complete his mission the impossible way: kill Caraval Master Legend and take his magic. Elias only wants one thing: to go back in time to stop his parents from falling in love. What better timing than now would there be for the two helpless young strangers to meet? ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: ﾟ:*✧

His fingers, which had been pressing a fresh cloth against my wounds, stilled. Something shifted in the air between us. "...Say it again," he murmured, his voice quieter this time. I frowned, confused. "Castor." It wasn't the name itself, but the way I said it-soft, almost hesitant. Like I was trying to figure out who he was beyond the version I had built in my mind. Psyche Calix is a young woman who lost everything in the span of a decade-her home, her family, her sense of belonging-all shattered by the hidden truths and treacherous magic of the Magnificent North and the Meridian Empire. Now, something has called her back to the place where it all began... and where everything was taken from her. On her journey to uncover why she was drawn back, Psyche encounters allies, enemies, and strangers who are anything but ordinary. Among them is one being who disrupts her path more than anyone else: a powerful vampire with secrets older than time and a presence she can't seem to escape. He's dangerous. Unforgiving. Tempting. As their fates intertwine and emotions grow tangled, Psyche must decide-will she surrender to the one who's haunted her every step, becoming his completely? Or will she break free before he consumes what's left of her? Only one way to find out. oc x chaos/castor valor (Disclaimer: I don't own Ouabh tbona or acftl and not the characters except my own. those masterpieces belong to Stephanie garber)
