In a world ravaged by war, racial tensions and social injustice, you'd expect a hero to suddenly pop-up out of the blue and unite everyone against some big bad monster. Well, I hate to disappoint, but I'm certainly not planning on doing any of that, I'm some powerful superbeing, and I'm certainly no hero. I'm just a traveler, or at least that's what I would be were I not a societal outcast.
You see, in this world everyone, and I do mean everyone, elves, humans, half-elves, dwarves, etc. All of them, are born as a patron to a certain god. These gods, each govern a school of magic, within which each of their patrons is especially gifted, some more than others. I, however, was born to no god, I am a patron to no one. As such, I'm an exception to the rule, which meant I had to die. So I was hunted, I lived as a fugitive for most of my childhood, until I was found, and they left me to die in a forest. It was then that I was approached by a member of a long thought to be extinct race, a fellow enemy of the gods...
Years later I met a girl, and well... This is where my story begins, a story shrouded in darkness and engrossed by light, a story with no hero, the story of a weapon built for war.
I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head.
He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?"
I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again.
"I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker.
"Al-Alice" I whisper.
His eyes wander outside to the window. "You will address me as 'your highness' and I do not tolerate mistakes. I will punish you and you will never forget to follow my orders. Do I make myself clear?"
--------------------
In this world everybody has a soulmate. Two people that are meant to be together for the rest of their lives. Finding them isn't as hard as you'd think, since every two people that belong together have the same tattoo somewhere on their body. It is something you're born with, something that's meant to be. There is no doubt that these two people no matter the status or finances, belong together. Some grow up knowing their future soulmate, some find them later in life, but in the end they always belong together. Marrying someone, who isn't you soulmate is punishable here in my family's kingdom Lyria. My father always believed in the bond. But what if the bond isn't meant to be after all.
Or could it be true that my soulmate is no other than darkness himself. That he's the heartless king our country is currently at war with. The one that leaves not even woman and children alive....
