There exists a story. A story of a young woman looking to make her way in the world as a guidance counselor. In her quest for vocational fulfillment, she moves to a place unlike any she has visited before.
This is NOT that story.
Enter Ryan Walker, an 18-year old loner. He really, REALLY cannot stand people. If he is ever seen around others, he will make it very clear that it is not of his own volition. Ryan carves out a life for himself on the streets of Hamilton, Ontario, making a living by playing the electric guitar for money... and possessing a wellspring of telekinetic prowess, a trait all but nonexistent in modern humans. Fortunately for him, hardly anybody ever sees him use that power, and nobody believes those who do.
One afternoon after a day of street performing, Ryan is approached by a mysterious woman who seems unnaturally interested in him specifically. The woman, named Kaycee, makes Ryan an offer: to come with her to a hidden society with other individuals without a place in the normal, human-dominated world, like him. He accepts, suspicious but curious about the prospect of such a society. And that's when things start to get a little bit crazy.
When Ryan arrives, he finds himself completely caught off balance by the realization that not only does the hidden society actually exist, but it is primarily populated not by humans, but by beings right out of fairy tales: Anthropomorphic animals, supernatural beasts, and creatures from myths and legends around the world. To add to the insanity, he now goes to school with these very beings, with a portion of the staff made up of this secret world's guardians.
And so, Ryan's odyssey begins, full of psychic powers, magic, spirits of nature, an upcoming music festival, and interspecies romance. Lots and LOTS of interspecies romance. And maybe, somewhere along this surreal comedy of epic proportions, Ryan will realize the alternative to his life of solitude.
Based on the webcomic by Vivienne Medrano.
Fate leads those who are willing but must push those who are not.
One might interpret this saying a bit too literal. After all, Elena did end up on the bottom of a hill in the middle of a forest, suffering several injuries. But do not worry, fate loves a rebel and has something magical stored for our sarcastic heroine.
Time travel.
An adventure in the 16th century was not something our main character had in mind, but when her path is built with music and joy, it can't be that bad, right?
Oh, who am I kidding. . .
At first glance, it seemed to be the perfect fairytale for our main character; being able to experience the medieval time and be surrounded by enchantment wherever she went. She even meets a monk, blessed with the gift of music, who shares her passion and is willing to teach Elena the secrets of the piano. It's perfect.
But it was only the tip of the iceberg.
Elena's piece of tranquility is broken when she stumbles into another mess, leaving her caged and alone in the forest. Fortunately for our heroine, a prince crosses her path, helping her in her need.
One might see this as the Universe's way for entertainment, or the fate's bizarre tactics to bring people together. Whatever it might be, it did not stop Elena from catching the eye of the prince of a powerful kingdom. Before anyone knows what's even happening, they're caught in the middle of it all; like a cat trapped in a yarn.
After all, even the stone you trip on is a part of your destiny.
What happens when the Universe, and basically everything between hell and heaven, is against you? Simple: it's a journey filled with unforgettable events.
So buckle up, folks, because you are in for a ride of pirates, songs, chases, jokes,
and a broken soul.
After all, there is no flying from fate.
