adventurous art artgallery fantasy fiction

Helena lives a life full of routines, schedules, and tradition. She always has lived this lifestyle, well, almost always. Helena has worked at the same art gallery for nearly 4 years, desperate to find inspiration for her own work. Helena was a starving artist hungry for opportunity but as years began to pass, she lost the hopeful drive she once had. She was without a college degree and had the life to show for it. Helena didn't see the purpose in an art degree at 18, but now, any degree would have been more in her favor than none at all. She works in a cold, white gallery with painting on the walls that she wishes could be hers. Living and working in this desolate place can make a woman go mad, even for a routinist such as herself. So, when an unexpected force breathes color into her life, the least she can do is accept it.

[New Chapters Monthly] A Cursed Devourerer. A King of Light. One Destined for Salvation, The Other Sacrifice. *** Helena is the last of her kind, born to an immortal race of beings. Her Ilk was conceived from the Harmonious Union of the first god and goddess, Mother Void and Father Life. Born from Chaos, the Harmonious could consume the flesh of gods. Fearing all of creation's destruction, the youngest twelve gods and goddesses betrayed the Mother and Father. In an act that spilled blood from the stars, every last child of the Harmonious Union was slaughtered. Her spirit now captured and enslaved by the White Pantheon, Helena knows existence only by what it lacks. Starving, exhausted, and formless; Helena is devoid of life. Centuries pass in torment until the appearance of a mysterious and powerful benefactor rips her away from formless darkness. The being claims the title Lord of the Black, and though he appears as a man, it soon becomes clear he is no servant of the Twelve. Thrust into a new body, Helena wakes as a duel-entity; the ravenous nature of her original consciousness now a nearly uncontrollable force of power. One that potentially possess it's own, separate will. Her mind now transformed, Helena beings to develop the desire to exist as her new self forever. Peace is elusive, however, as the past quickly begins to unravel its twisted roots. An old enemy rears his many heads, threatening the delicate threads of life Helena has just begun to weave. Lies, religious corruption, and a betrayal begin to dig twisted vines into the blossoming love between them. The struggle of overcoming her nature threatens to undo all that Helena has been gifted. Lord Black is hiding his true nature, strange dreams and visions tormenting Helena with the possible truth of his nature. As Helena begins to find a place in her new life, her very existence promises death for creatures she has learned to love.
