Unsilenced (The Last Dyad)

One drop of blood can set the beast free.
One secret, can destroy the sanctuary.

***
Rikkon-
I didn't know there was anyone else. Before the orange haired girl brought me to the Sanctuary, I thought I was alone. All this time, there was a whole world here, just waiting to be discovered. The world of magic is limitless- but something is wrong. The orange haired girl doesn't speak. Perhaps the weight of her secrets holds her back, or maybe it's something more.
She seems to understand things about the sanctuary that no one else knows, including the dangers of it. What does she know that she isn't telling me?

Venus-
I hadn't meant to let Rikkon in, but there was something disarming about him. Something about him made me want to trust him with everything. But I knew the stakes and my secret could ruin everything.
I couldn't let the sanctuary be destroyed but I couldn't leave either. How could I stop it from happening again? How could I protect Rikkon? But also, how did I free him of his curse, if I couldn't get free of mine?

Note from the author: Some of my characters have a penchant for swearing.
Also, trigger warning: There are some themes of loss, abuse, and blood.
