Ariel was broken long before the world noticed. By her mother. By the people who watched and did nothing. By a life that made her believe she was better off gone. But when Ariel reaches the end, the end refuses her. She wakes in a fantasy realm that mirrors her own-where harpies fly, elves whisper of prophecy, and fate is not a suggestion, but a rule. There, Ariel discovers her intent alone can erase beings from existence. An ancient Entity intervenes. A forgotten father's sins resurface. And familiar faces appear where they shouldn't exist. Ariel wasn't spared. She was claimed. Author: It's a peak, and complex story, just give it a try :)
