Cova, a gelfling adopted by the omen of death aka a skeksis called "the reaper", gets into some trouble with a few Vapras, noble vapras. Instead of turning him to the all maudra for his apparent "crimes", the grumpy, non social stonewood gelfling is assigned with a task; to find the noble gelfing's daughter and to bring her back home.
Once on this mission, Cova soon ends up finding the noble gelfling's daughter, Vanya. But something is severely wrong with her. To Cova's horror and (slight) annoyance, Vanya has been infected with the darkening, which has effected her to the extent where she has moments of insanity.
After hearing Vanya quietly sing a lullaby to herself one night on their way back to the mountain village, Cova realizes they must seek out Mother Aughra, a myth according to every single gelfling, in order save Vanya from the darkening.
The absolute worst part about this mission is the fact that the other Skeksies are becoming apparent of Cova's shenanigans and start hunting for him, to avoid a full out war and losing control of the Gelflings.
This is set in the world of The Dark Crystal. However, I'm just going to ignore the rebellion for now

[WATTY'S 2024 SHORTLIST] When the Ravos Kingdom abducts the Nyrial Emperor's dragon, princess Aeryn Glastos must marry the demon prince planning her assassination to save her empire and end the war while guarding her heart and a dangerous secret.
------------
The twenty-two-year-old draconian princess is starting her final year at Insignia Academy during the height of the war between the draconians and demons. Aeryn's dream is to graduate as a bonded Champion in the Fire Force and fight in the war. The only problem is, she is the only draconian to never receive a power by age twenty. Ashamed of his powerless daughter, the emperor of the Nyrial Empire proposes a marriage between Aeryn and the Ravos Kingdom's demon prince to end the war and get his dragon back.
Shade Cross is ruthless, cunning, and dangerously powerful. Everything he touches dies, except Aeryn. He awakens something in her she has never felt before and she acquires not one, but two powers. She must navigate both nations built upon lies, betrayals, a forbidden alliance, and a deadly curse. When she discovers the truth about her empire, she must make a choice: protect the secrets and save her father, or side with the enemy. Aeryn needs to be careful because when it reigns, it pours, and she is caught right in the middle of a feuding storm between both nations.
