*Now a featured Wattpad story! Zara was never meant to be an outcast. Once upon a time, she was a Red Cape- a member of the respected forest guard. That was before the accident, though. The one that left her partner dead and her to blame. Now expelled from the guard and living a life of shame, all Zara wants is to redeem herself and earn back her coveted position. The perfect opportunity arises when a mysterious Hunstman shows up in the kingdom...looking for her. Somewhere deep within the dark forest, a princess is being held captive by the werewolves and their king. As the royal Huntsman, it's Ronan's job to find her and bring her back. And who better to guide him than a former member of the renowned Red Capes? While Zara isn't thrilled at the idea of working side by side with the irritatingly charming Huntsman, she's in no position to refuse his proposition. Especially if she wants to impress the guard and earn a second chance. Together, they enter the forest to face the myriad of terrifying creatures awaiting inside. Ardon, the werewolf king, has an agenda of his own...one where he and his pack rise from exile to reclaim their place at the top of the food chain. When he begins to make unexplainable appearances within Zara's dreams, she realizes things are far from what they seem. The truth behind their strange connection may not be one she's ready for. However, the werewolf king is far from the only one harboring dark secrets. What began as a simple rescue mission will soon turn into a challenge not only for Zara's life, but for the world outside the forest.

Ultimately this is a Marco X OC fanfic, but there will be some Ace fluff as well ^-^ A few notes: The story is going to begin five years before Luffy actually sets sail (2 years before Ace sets sail). Also, I perceived Marco's devil fruit ability and the whole 'Phoenix' persona as that he is essentially ageless (as in he no longer ages because his power is constantly regenerating) Depending on where I go with this story, it may end up being more 'adultish' and I may have to up the rating later on, but that's still being debated. Also I feel like I shouldn't have to mention this, but I will anyway..... I DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE!!!! (I hope that's obvious) ...meh I can't think of anything else I want to add....

Echo comes from the island Funesto deep in the Grandline, an island of Devil Fruit cultivators. She possesses the knowledge passed down to her from generations of Devil Fruit cultivators to grow, harvest and even manipulate Devil Fruits. After a massacre of her homeland, Echo is the sole survivor and last of the Devil Fruit cultivators in the world.The World Government is desperately trying to get their hands on the sole survivor of the Funesto massacre, a single girl who has the knowledge and quite possibly the ability to bring the World Government down on her own. Can the government catch and execute Echo before time runs out? [On a side note.... this is starting out around the same time Luffy is starting to gather himself a crew] So as of the beginning of the story Luffy is about 17 for those who were wondering... I'll let you all do the rest of the math on that haha [Another side note] Music may be totally random and have absolutely nothing to do with the story, mainly whatever I'm rocking out to at the time of posting haha ^-^

Himeko Uchiha is Itachi's child hood friend, along with Shisui. She was given a job by Itachi's father and her father to protect Itachi with her life. Of course Itachi wasn't aware of his guardian angel since that was part of the deal. If Itachi was never told about Himeko's willingness to die for him then she'll do it but if he was then she'd kill herself along with her Mangekyo Sharigan. I do not own any of the pictures, songs, or characters used in this book, except the characters I make up.
