Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world.

These Vengeful vows
They were promised to each other before they could even speak. Heir to an empire. Daughter of a legacy. Bound by a deal neither of them asked for. She's learned to live with the panic that shadows her nights, the anxiety that claws at her chest when the world becomes too much. He's learned to bury the ghosts of his past under power, wealth, and a name that opens every door. But the marriage contract changes everything. One bed. One future. No escape. And just when they begin to see beyond the walls they've built around themselves, a message arrives: I know who killed your mother. The sender? A man the groom once called brother. Someone who lost eight years of his life while he walked free. Someone who wants revenge, not just on him, but on the family that destroyed everything. Lies will surface. Loyalties will shatter. And in the middle of it all, two broken souls will have to decide if they can trust each other... or if love is just another trap waiting to break them.

TBOAH react to TOTCF
The TBOAH characters react to TOTCF. They will react to chapters and wikis. Timeline: After the Terror Plaza Incident. I don't know if I will put any TOTCF characters. Ship: Albecale, maybe I will make Choi Han blush or start to feel something for Cale, but the principal ship is Alberu X Cale. My AU: Cale Henituse and Kim Rok Soo are the same soul/person. After the original Cale Henituse died by the hands of White Star in TBOAH, he made the deal with the God of Death, but in my AU the deal was to get reincarnated in another world and when it was time the GoD will make him return to his original body. As Kim Rok Soo, he didn't remember his life as Cale Henituse, so GoD created the novel of TBOAH, so he could have a guide when he returned to his past life. When he returns as Cale Henituse, as in TOTCF, he doesn't remember that he was the original Cale, but he will start to remember as time passes by.
Navy Blue Eyes.
{Kellin Quinn *Adoption/Daughter* Story} 'Captivating. There was no other word he could conjure up to describe the pull her eyes commanded. There seemed to be an unspoken law, they demanded your full attention be given to her, but much the same there appeared to be a silent beauty that drew your attention and-whether you wanted to or not-you had to pay her gaze mind. Not that he wished this pull to disappear. In fact, he'd never wanted anything so much as he wanted to hold her stare. In a moment, he knew she'd taken control of him... he saw that he had no more choice in the matter. Not one inch of him wanted to have it any other way. He was under her control, and he understood that could destroy him, yet there was no one whom he wished to destroy him more than the small girl with the navy blue eyes.' In one moment Kellin Quinn knew he couldn't go on without he frail, blue eyed beauty by his side. After Katelynne is diagnosed with breast cancer, Kellin's heart and head are flipped upside down. Despite the world's outlook on the 'Big C', he knew he'd probably live to be an old couple alongside his wife and daughter, but other family members of cancer patients aren't so lucky. Through the tragedy that brings them together, Kellin can't let go of the broken girl who unintentionally saved him in his hour of need. What he comes to realize, though, is that the little girl with the navy blue eyes may need him just as much as he needs her. Warning: RATED PG-13 for strong language, sexual content, gore, etc...
