❝ What is the price that you pay to stay alive? I mean, we all pay one but what's yours?" I've asked as I watched the beautiful creature of red fade away. Spears pierced her body as men shouted in victory. Their fear slowly dissipates permitting greed and pride to proclaim them.
"What was the price?" I asked.
No one answered as they brought their trophy back home. It was an accomplishment for everyone concerned. The beast was gone and they were alive.
So, I asked again, "What was the price?"
And like before, No one answered. ❞
No one knows the extent of power. How far it can become you or control you. Some can command it, allowing it to pull and push like waves in the ocean while others get swallowed whole. But regardless, Ku-Aya refuses to let it be her.
She knows the power that swells in her blood. The blood that binds her to iron and flame. And she wants nothing more but to be still in peace. But when things from the past resurface, vengeance is all the eyes can behold. But everything comes with a price. Will she be able to pay it?

Crown of Greed and Power
["You look like hell," she stated at last. Azlan scoffed, "Likewise." She continued to study him through suspicious eyes and he couldn't help but wonder what she looked like beneath all the dried blood. He could tell she was unique though, definitely intriguing. ### "You think you know everything?" She turned to him in challenge, but Azlan only stared the female down, unbothered. "You don't know anything." "Don't I? It doesn't take a person with eyes to recognize all that built up anger and pain sizzling inside you."
