My life began to go down a path that I, nor anyone really, thought was possible. It all began in 1897 when I lived in with my older siblings in our family's ancestral home in Regalea. But to be fair, my life was never normal by any account, not even by the wealthy standards that the families of Regalean nobility are held to.  

How could it be normal? 

How could I be normal? 

The only expectations I ever had for my life was to go through life without embarrassing my father and mainly staying out of my brother's way, as my father trained him to become the next Lord of Rosenburg.  

I was only expected to be the spare, the second choice son. And I was okay with that. I didn't want the power or the title the way my brother wanted, I didn't even want it in general. My father was just happy to have a son like my brother, who was ambitious, daring, and charismatic, to pass the lordship to once he retired. 

But that's not what happened. 

What happened was that my father died and my brother made sure to kill him twice by burying my father's legacy to "the ash heap of history." My brother had always been overly dramatic, my mother used to say that it was genetic. 

Then came a rebellion that ballooned quite quickly into a full-blown "death to the king" revolution that did eventually see to the death of the king, as well as the queen, and the majority of the aristocracy, including my brother. 

This, however, was not what killed my sister. A completely different, but equally tragic event took her life. Leaving me without the only family member who cared for me and with the legacy of our family. 

A legacy that no one wants. 

A legacy that was built on the corpses and the blood of so many innocent lives. 

A legacy that resulted in the deaths of so many people, including my sister, and my father, and my brother. 

A legacy that I must bear.

The Before. There was a time before, a time of a great war, a time there were two kingdoms. War rampaged on the heels of jealousy bred by men's contemptuous hate and fueled by their desire to take what wasn't theirs. Two Kings fought wanting what the other had, holding the Bythe's fire at the tip of his knife The King of the South snuffed it out stealing with him the Jewel of the north. I am Bellary. I live with the tales of the before filling my dreams, and ringing in my ears, I am known as the Silent Princess of Loch. My voice was taken from me by force, an assassination failed. Left with the scars of my abusers to remind me and everyone daily. Haunted by nightmares, and faceless voices calling out to me I hide away in the walls of the castle, under the excuse that it's for my protection under the rule of my neurotic father and overprotective brother I have never tasted freedom. My father's constant fear that the men attacked me would be back to finish the job. I was insecure, maimed, and riddled with shame. The itch in my brain that I was missing something buzzed in my brain, there was a fire in my veins that called to be lit. With no words to speak I filled the void with the written word, I devoured the written word like a lioness hunting prey, and studying languages became my lover and I worshiped them passionately. Being a walking ghost among my kingdom, I heard words drifting on the wind, dripping from the walls and floating off of people like a permeating perfume. They were whispering warnings, the north was awakening, the north was angry, the north was coming. The north was seeking, the north was calling Ophelia home.

[Discontinued] After dying in prison because an experiment, I went back 2 years before my death. My faith in the Imperial Family, my affection for my own family, all of it could go to hell! To do that, I went to the second prince of this Empire, Azazel von Elysian to seek for a cooperation. "I will help you become the Emperor. In return, make me your Empress by becoming the Emperor. I want everyone at my feet." With this agreement, we were bound by a bond where we would crush the Empire and create a new. I will make him the Perfect Tyrant. - "Verena, tell me what you desire. I'll give it to you with all my heart." He whispered softly in my ear while holding me from behind, as if to lock me in his embrace forever. "Why are you asking me this when we already reached our goals?" He tighten his embrace, burying his head onto my shoulder. "... I'm sorry, I just wanted to know whether you will leave me or not." "Is that so?" However, it appears that as time passes, he has developed a strong attachment to me, bordering on obsession. "I'm addicted to seeing more of the feeling that arose when you smiled at me and just me." He wouldn't let me escape from his golden cage that he created for me. "I'm the only one who can save you, Verena." - "Please don't leave me. I will do all you ask of me... just, please don't abandon me... if you do, I'll kill myself." My eyes went wide as shiver ran down my spine as I unconsciously stepped back because of his threat. That Tyrant Emperor that I created is kneeling on the floor and wailing in front of me, the one who has used him for years. As if he were a child who would be abandoned by his parents. Is it possible for me to get to the desired conclusion in this way? "If you're going to hell, Verena, please bring me along with you." *** | Side Note | - Cover : Canva

I live in a world where I am nameless. I live in a world where I do not matter except or unless I am owned by someone. I do not have rights, freedoms, joys, wishes, or aspirations. I am property. I was born and raised to belong to someone that will one day take me away like the fairy tale stories that I listened to everyday in the house I live in. I prayed every night that a handsome prince would come and take me to live in his castle just like in the books. I prayed that I would be a princess and have a kingdom just like in the books. But I was never told that the books were all lies. I was never told the true reason why I was a well sought after commodity. I was never told that I am not the only one like me. When I found out it was too late to save myself. To think and in less than 4 days I will be taken away from my current home and be in a home of my own. I sat on the simple wooden bed hoping that my owner was nice and kind. I hated to think about some of the stories that I heard about the other girls like me. I hated thinking about being exterminated because I made my owner unhappy. I thought to myself that I would try real hard to keep him happy. I remember the covenant of rules that would keep me and my owner happy. I would need to follow five rules. 1. Always obey my owner. 2. Always be available to my owner. 3. Never talk back. 4. Always agree with my owner. 5. I am not human so I cannot do human things. I wondered how pretty human women were. I was so nervous about my departure I nearly refused to leave my room. I could leave if there wasn’t anything wrong with me physically. I remember the den mother telling me not to do anything that would cause a refund or else I would be exterminated upon refund. My new owner had thirty days to return me. If he returned me and no one else was interested I would be exterminated. I would be killed because it would be thought that I was defective and no one would want a defective product.

After committing treason and narrowly escaping death, a selfish prince must learn to adapt, survive, and discover his own potential in the world he never knew existed, beyond Regalia's walls. *** To think it all started with a singular question: "What if the fall in "Gregor the Overlander" wasn't the end of Henry's story, but the beginning?" Well, here is my answer. Today, I invite you to come along on a brand new journey to the Underland - only this time you follow not the Overland warrior but the fallen Prince of Regalia. After committing treason and narrowly escaping death, Henry finds himself cut off from his society, stranded in the unexplored wilds of his world. There, he must adapt, survive, and forge more than one reluctant alliance. Oh, and learn one or another lesson about simple decency while we're at it. Meet new characters and species, and face villains and obstacles as you join Henry on his own personal quest for the curious combination of survival, self-discovery, and, of course, the character development canon never gave him. And what a quest it will be. *** DISCLAIMER: This work is based on Suzanne Collins' "Gregor the Overlander"-series (The Underland Chronicles). It is not recommended to read this work without having read those books. Going forward, I will treat the readers as though they have read the original (there will be massive spoilers, and knowledge of canon characters, events, and universe/lore will be expected). *** © The Underland Chronicles - Suzanne Collins © My Characters - me © Cover Image - me
