    It's been months since that fateful night on a doorstep when Timothy accidentally blurted "I love you" to his favorite cook's assistant. Ever since that moment, Timothy has been a dead man walking--at least, in his own estimation. How could he break the news of their understanding to his parents and live to tell about it? And yet, the date is set: December 24th, Christmas Eve. He has six days to prepare himself. Six days before what's unknown becomes known, and he'll find out whether the Christmas he's read about in books could be real.

    WARNING: The story is sometimes spoken in my perspective, so bare with me Humanity fallen from Gods eyes, now humans, fairies, mythical creatures, and even Angels are literally turning their backs from him after learning that the heavenly father true motives and how he really is. In The winter of 1873, a young Native American teenager Name Aiyana Lucero and her older sister was sneaking in a private mansion and found some messed up things, such as ancient weapons angels used or how angels can actually die and skulls of many dragons, humans and fairies from a 300 year war. Aiyana was going to spread the word, until they were caught. As these sisters are ones who left gods eyes and wanted to formally kill angels to prove their point. And Aiyana did steal a ancient weapon angels used in the form of a Katana by a fairy woman. These two killed thirty people and in the end they were captured and put on death row for spewing blood in the the mansion of Jerusalem, stealing, blasphemy, Heresy, and apparently terrorism. The one who rescue them two months later was a beautiful Elf Demi God and his four close companions. One being the devil himself. After that, the sisters join these four misfits and many others and journey across 19 century America to recruit people as rebels to destroy their very toxic government and possibly kill their president for horrid rules and tyranny, and in the process of finding a King Philosopher stone. That will be explained later in the story. They desire to create one for their benefit and the faith of America and the world. What's going to happen?

When a band of Indians raided the town, they took her. They treated her as one of them. Fast forward 14 years and she finds herself back in the settlement, where her life started off. Still treated like dust, she got a job as an interpreter for trading between the settlers and the Indians. When she meets Hart Copper searching for his missing betrothed (IDK if they had betrothals in the 1800s) things start to change.
