For years, Calissa has dreamed of her curse breaking. But when it finally does, she was in no where prepared for what happened next. >< Years have passed since she has escaped the tower and all the weakness she had formed are now stuffed inside a locked cage inside her heart. Her mission now is to stand up against the strong evil and go against the tyrant king that has imprisoned them all in a lowly society. As a member of the Masked Bandits, she will do everything in her power to stop the tyrant king from finding the Eternal Dark-- the crystal that grants all evil to the master. With the mind and spirit of an animal, her talents shine above all others. So much, that she has been chosen by the masked man to act upon her desire of protection. By the masked man's unfailing trust around her neck and her instincts of honour and loyalty bound around her soul, she is determined to put an end to the kingdom's darkness. However, along the way, her courage will be tested. Along with her heart. The weaknesses that she caged in so long ago, will threaten to spill out. Including a dangerous, unbreakable bondage between her and another that even she cannot deny. ~~~~~ A Sleeping Beauty, Robin Hood, and Mulan retelling. With a hint of Rapunzel.

PREVIOUSLY CALLED "BEAUTY'S MELODY" "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." ~Martin Luther King Jr. ~~~~~ In the beginning, there was a boy. A girl. And a beast. For years, legends rumor that there is a beast roaming in the Péige Forest near a northern village in the kingdom. It is merciless, ruthless, and undeniably dangerous to all those who come near. Hundreds of men have attempted to kill it only to never be heard of again. It has been a year since Mira's older brother has been gone after venturing off to kill the beast. And like all the others, everyone suspects he is dead and the pain comes right after when they find out that it is true. Determined to take revenge, her youngest sister goes off on her own into the Péige Forest to avenge her brother. Mira now has no choice but to save her siblings in a hunt that could very well end her life. But when she gets separated from her family for good, nothing seems certain anymore. Not even the strange, kind man, who never reveals his identity, she met along the way. He promises to help her find her siblings only with the condition that she would not come close to him. That one decision would change life forever, plunging her in a world of light and dark, hatred and love. ~~ A Beauty and the Beast Retelling Edited by flowergirl82 Cover by me Cover picture by Emily Soto (http://goo.gl/tYZhQP)
