There is evil inside all of us. Just as there is good inside all of us. Whether we were born evil or good we all have the qualities to balance our choices of light and dark. I have made decisions that were and are a mixture of good and evil. Even the choices that were made for me were filled with both.
Love. War. It's the same in the end. Let me tell you my story of how love tore me to pieces. How I constantly picked myself up, building myself from the ashes of my own consequences of love through time itself.
I don't remember how many times I have been coming back. The numbers don't matter anymore. Just the memories that I have created through my experiences. Not friends or how many people I have or have not meet, because we all leave in the end and whether we meet up again is unknown or up to fate. I stopped believing in that long ago, but sometimes certain situations are unexplainable. Leaving one to only think that it is fate.
Prelude
War, is the beginning of the end and an end to the beginning. Kingdoms once untied now devoured by flames and turned to ash. The very flames that search, seeking only what it desires. When finally, the flames find what it has searched for all its life. The one entity it desires and hungers for, to keep the flame going. However, in a war many pawns and pieces are to be considered.
When the flames of war reached Ecclaissia's father's kingdom, her life is set on another path once more.

Twisted Salvation 18+ (Sample)
"I'm ready to give you that freedom. You and your father can leave." I froze. What? I looked at him, eyes wide with disbelief, searching for any sign he was lying. Any smirk, any cruel glint. But he was calm. Too calm. Then he spoke again-and his words struck like a bolt of lightning straight through me. "But for that..." he paused, his voice dipping to a deadly softness, "you have to be my breeder." She was the kind of girl whose world revolved around her cats and her jesus.

The Devils in My Life
Ever thought how we just meet strangers and they become more than even our blood relatives? That happened to me like everyone else. I met them on a strange note. So strange that I would not even have conversed with them more than necessary but when they became my saviours... I couldn't help it. I fell for them (not my fault they all have been rizzing me up from the beginning. And yes it is a harem. I am confused myself.) But did I do the right thing? I have been questioning myself ever since my parents got kidnapped in front of my eyes. I would've been too if not for them and my best friends. But now... I don't know what is what anymore. They are not what they seem, not even my best friends. And me? It all happened because of me. Those goons want something from me and I didn't even know I had it. I am still not sure if I have it. Some stone or something. But now I have got a news that I have been betrayed by the very people I had fallen in love with. What am I supposed to do? Them: We saved her. But we are the very reason she should be afraid. She should be hating us but she doesn't. Why? Because she doesn't know the truth. We lied, decieved, and what not. But never in our life felt an ounce of guilt but now that we have done the same to her... our inner self is screaming at us to go die in a fire. Why is that? What has she done to us? And moreover Why do we feel guilty? Why do we want to keep her by our side even if she hates us? Shall we find out?Complete
War of Praisers
Nothing left my mouth as I stared at him in shock. He truly believed that I was part of this. The man, who I had lived with and served for months. The man who I had protected with my life and soul. I stood still while, as he backed away from me quickly. "I trusted you with my life." His cry pierced around the empty room. He looked so destroyed and hurt, but mostly his face portrayed rage and determation. "And I protected you with mine." I spoke back loudly. I didn't hear myself say it but I knew I did. I look into his eyes even from our distance they seemed to wallow me in darkness. "I gave you mine." My voice was quiet and cracked. His face changed only for a second before his old one took over again. He doesn't believe me. It doesn't matter what I say or do he won't listen. He will still believe I am the bad guy. Just as Kane said, we will never be equals, we will never be fellow humans. We will always be monsters to them. "Yakov, I am not the bad guy." I plead one last time. His Russian accent comes out harsh with his next words. "Your right," he pauses, "you are the villain." I stumble back as if I had just been stabbed in the chest. It was a horrible feeling. It was never good with the emotions and yet I recognize the feeling as heart beak. I barely breathe in air as I regain my posture. A battle cry from somewhere distracts me momentarily. I suddenly remember Ewan. I glare at Yakov one more time before I take off after the cries of battle. Jade believes she started the war among the human and her kind. Nothing is as it was portrayed. The lies and the truth are hidden among each other. There is is no clear good and evil. How can there be if one does not know what is right and what is wrong. She was prepared to see death, prepared to inflict death upon others without mercy or remose. She was prepared to do her job which the Facility had given her. But now it doesn't seem so simple anymore. Instead she focuses on keeping her friends alive.Complete
The Seven Deadly Sins
From stars to scars, there are 7 deadly sins. With light comes the dark to balance. Forever rain doesn't fall as good times pass while the bad don't last. It's only during the darkest of times that a star shines brightest with such brilliance. Embrace it all, the pain to gain, joyous sorrows full of love and hate, bleeding while healing through the very core burning to survive. Even if Heaven cannot be found, there will be those who walk through hell with you. - Mia B. Geminius, cover made by me {Can be read before Descendance if you'd like, whichever order you want for my series} We are all born from the stars and return back to the galaxies above. Amongst the stars, we live, existing as particles of darkness and light shining through our very cores burning aflame. Angels and demons exist. Well so do the seven deadly sins themselves. Beyond the stars are seven fated wonders of this universe who each bore their sins, using the sin they bear to right their wrongs. The seven deadly sins have spent many centuries together. They never walk alone for they always have one another, standing by the other's side. They've survived through hell and back. Just like archangels, these seven warriors of God perform their faithful duties in fending off the wickedness and snares of evil itself. Each of the seven nearly descended into hell because of their sins in which they harbored. God gave them a calling, blessing them with the chance to do good and they're ascending as they fight to do what is right. There is no escape from the constant hardships life throws at us, but through the good and bad times, we prosper and gain from the pain and losses faced. Will you join them on their journey up until they went through hell and back before having met the sun, moon, and other stars? (I'm having trouble writing this one so it'll take a while as I sort of gave up. I'll come back eventually. And so I did, and so I have. it's not perfect but....:)Complete
Fairy Tail:The Multiversal Dragon
The dragons started a war to remain at the top. A war against humanity. A war where they fought endlessly, driven by their hunger for humans. Humanity's numbers fell while the dragons kept feeding. But half of dragon kind resisted. They didn't understand why the others were eating humans. What was the point? They appreciated humanity. And so, they sparked a revolution-ushering in the War of Dragons. That revolution led to the Age of Dragon Slayers. Dragons helped humans create Dragon Slayer Magic-a magic meant to kill their own kind. And so, humanity fought back. The Age of Dragon Slaying began-the war between dragon kind and humanity erupted. I was born in the midst of it all. A dragon who hatched just before this chaos began. Raised in an era of survival, born into the Age of Dragon Slayers... where the battlefield was everywhere, and death followed every step. ---- Main World: Fairy Tail. as of right now First world: Fairy Tail Second world: Solo Leveling, Third world: Fate Series .... If you're here expecting a genius strategist-the kind of MC who calculates every move, thinks ten steps ahead, and treats life like a chessboard-you're in the wrong story. the only mindset of the MC is: "Overthinking just keeps you stuck. Stop complicating it, take the step, move forward, then figure it out." That quote? Yeah, it's the heart of this fanfic. If it's not your thing, that's cool, feel free to move on.
For All the Skies Between Us
She was not born an angel. She was made into one. The church called it salvation, though she and the others knew better. They were experiments-children forced to carry the blood of something greater, something divine or perhaps monstrous. The priests never revealed whose blood it was, only that it belonged to a "god." She never saw that god, never even knew its name. But she felt it in her veins every day-burning, reshaping, devouring what was once human inside her. From the ritual came her wings: vast and terrible, twelve feet of shadowed feathers stretching behind her, with smaller, flame-lined wings sprouting at her feet. With them, she flew faster than arrows and struck harder than any sword. Fire itself bent to her will, rising and falling with her breath, a weapon she alone commanded. For years she fought in the war of men. Cities burned, armies fell, and still the blood in her veins demanded more. But no power, not even hers, could shield her from loss. Three of her companions-those who had shared the same cursed experiment-were gone, their bodies left behind on the battlefield. She buried them in ash and flame, and with that, she could fight no longer. She turned her back on the church, on the endless slaughter, and wandered into lands untouched by war. For a brief moment, she believed she could escape the cycle. Yet fate was not so kind. The world around her shifted-time, space, reality itself bending. In an instant, the smoke and ruins of men's wars were gone, replaced by a land of jagged mountains, black forests, and skies haunted by creatures she had never seen. Here, the battles were not waged between kings and soldiers, but against things far more primal. Monsters. And though she had left the battlefield behind, destiny had not left her.

Where I am shadows and silence, he is light and laughter. I have spent years trapped in my past, haunted by memories that refuse to fade, while he moves through life effortlessly, bringing joy to those around him. But me? I only bring pain. I hurt those who get too close, whether I mean to or not. And now, the cruel twist of fate has bound me to someone I despise - my academic rival. The one person I have never been able to stand. We have spent years at each other's throats, never backing down, never conceding. So why? Why the hell would he want to marry me? What game is he playing? Fine. If he thinks he can handle me, he's wrong. Now that we're married, I'll make sure he regrets every single moment of it. 𝑨𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒍𝒉𝒐𝒕𝒓𝒂 ❀ What the hell was she thinking? Did she really think she could walk away from me? I warned her. Told her not to go through with that marriage. But she never listened. Four years. Four damn years by my side - challenging me, pushing limits. And now? She actually thought she could marry someone else? That she could belong to another man? That she could live a life that didn't include me? Hell no. If she was so determined to ruin my patience, I'd return the favor. That's why I did the only thing I could - I kidnapped her and made her mine. Now, she has no choice but to stay. And I? I will make sure she suffers for daring to think she could ever escape me. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───
