|1ST PLACE IN HISOKA FOR HUNTERXHUNTER WATTYS| Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who lived in a magical kingdom. The princess was as fair as she was kind. When she was born, a horrible witch put a curse on her. To save her life, the princess was forced to live in a tower that no man was able to set foot in. The princess was lonely and she sang her heart out everyday. A prince heard her beautiful songs and was mesmerized. Eventually he climbed up the tower and defeated the witch, and they lived happily ever after. That's the story people want to hear. That's the story that they are familiar with; that they want to happen. They want to read about righteousness and chivalry, of heroes and heroines, of how good always triumphs over evil. I am no princess; I am an Empress. My kingdom is not magical, there are no fairies, no magic, no happily-ever afters. My kingdom was built on death, and suffering, and the endless tears and screams of the fallen. There is no good in Heaven's Arena. There is the strong, and the weak; and the strong are called Gods. It's not an evil curse that traps me in this tower, but my own stupidity; and it won't be a prince that rescues me - but the joker. I will not have a happily-ever after, it is my repentance for my sin. I dared to challenge the so called Gods... And I won. - |Started: May 2016 || Complete uwu |
