Blue thought she'd only lost her memory. Blue wasn't even her real name. She lived in a giant castle that she thought she could call home. At least until she regains her memories. She was the only mortal living amongst the immortal fae. Blue couldn't help but feel lied to by the man she trusted most. The king of the fire kingdom, Julius Heartfire. He is her only friend. He is the only one who didn't treat her like a human. Blue grew tough skin over the ten years she lived with the immortal species. She couldn't live there for free, there is always a price. She is one of the sixteen beast tamers. She was able to speak into the minds of Spirit beasts. Even though, they could easily take her life they never seemed to want to. Being a beast tamer was dangerous. She will be sent into a spiral when she finds out that her life was nothing like she expected. She will awaken into something much more important.

Princess Lily of Eden has always done whatever her twin brother, crown prince Jeremiah, did, whether it be sword fighting or learn politics, but as she grew older her behavior is viewed as less and less acceptable. When war strikes her kingdom, she does all she can from the confines of the capital, but it is not enough. Her men are dying. Her towns are burned to the ground. Her people are hungry. The death of the general and her father's reluctance to replace him pushes Lily over the edge and she takes matters into her own hands. She was determined to save her kingdom even if it meant leaving the safety of the castle, perhaps never to be allowed back in. Runner-up in the 2016 FCRA's Cover by: @Penneywithaney
