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.

Shivawn, Prince of Vileria, is tired of the way he's being smothered in his Kingdom and leaves home every day to a magic waterfall, to be free, to be someone else - to be him. Darius, Prince of Adromena, is more of a rebel and leaves home just to spite his family. Then he mistakenly stumbles upon Shivawn, and his real reason for being rebellious is forgotten. The two princes become great friends, despite the fact that their kingdoms are in the middle of a huge war. When the war between their kingdoms becomes too great, they decide to take matters into their own hands, both tired of the fighting. But it might not have been a very smart idea to run away from home, ON THEIR OWN, to find The Tourmaline, a semi-precious gem rumoured to help create peace where there was war. Follow these helpless princes on their journey of love and discovery and have a laugh or two - or a heart attack. - Copyright © 2013 Viano Oniomoh All rights reserved.
