What are we without flesh and blood? Are we nothing but a beating heart in a ribcage, a marching soul inevitably leading to our demise? Or are we here as a test of loyalty to our God, a God we do not know but must trust? And without this trust, we will be punished indefinitely for questioning his divinity. And what is a sheep without his shepherd? Without God, are we nothing but sheep led astray? How will we be guided to the light without a shepherd on earth? Should we trust our shepherd to tell us the truth? Or will we be covered in the blood of the lamb? A shepherd with blood on his hands could infect his flock with poison. And with this poison, he has control. And to Luke, this poison is all he knows. His seventeen years of life have been devoted to nothing else but God. He wakes up, goes to school or church, and sleeps; rinse and repeat. There is no place or time for anything else in his life, such as television, going out with friends, or discovering new hobbies. His father, Pastor Ivy, ensures this. His life purpose will be to serve the Lord and nothing else. A purpose that Luke believes is the right way. What else would there be to life? He hadn't questioned this until he met Gabriel, a man who was the complete opposite of him. A man who was strong in his sense of self. A man who didn't bow to anyone or anything and stood firm in his beliefs in The Church of Satan. A man who Luke feared. But also a man who felt like home to him.

I wrote it right this time" "Rider With A Y' is NOT right." - Ryder is a bad boy, or at least that's what he wants everyone to think.

He is bored of everything and he sees the good in people, but will he find any good in Ryder?

This is not my usual Percy Jackson fanfiction. In fact, this is not a Percy Jackson fanfiction. This is not even a Harry Potter fanfiction. This is my first ever Hetalia fanfiction. America's life has been hard; harder than he let on. But he covers it up by putting up a mask: A fake laugh, a fake smile, and fake ignorance and dumbness was all it took. Maybe he could keep up the act. . . And maybe he could keep his secrets. But life doesn't go easy on The Hero (or nations in general tbh). (Some extra info as of August 5, 2018... Main characters: America, Confederacy, Union, Allen ((2p America)) England, and New York. Important side/backstory characters so important they're probably main characters: Boston, France, Texas, California, and Florida. Regular side characters: ...Everyone else in the story, I guess? Characters that will get their time in the spotlight soon: Canada, Italy, India, and Scotland ((*shudders because the thought of Scotland and England both being main characters is just...*)).)
