When the Blade Calls (Open Novella Contest)

Deep in the forest, there are mysterious creatures enchanting to the eye but very much dangerous. Or so one would think. A girl falls for the trap and her life is never the same. Another girl, born years later, lives in a time where the mistakes of her previous generations have resulted in chaos. In order to restore balance and destroy the evil forces pervading the kingdom , she requires the help of one very special sword. The sword can defeat anyone, but there's just one problem: it's broken, and the shards are carefully hidden in the many realms of magical creatures. Will the sword be made whole again? How will the destinies of these two girls unfold at the mercy of the blade?
