"But, why do they want the feathers so bad?" "Because they hold a great power; they call it The Ember." "The Ember? As in a spark, or fire? Why?" "You ask too many questions. One day, that'll get you killed." Y/n's life was so simple when she was a kid. Not that she minded, of course. But when something unexpected ruins her chance at a normal life, her priorities change, and she stops trusting the ones she loved. Her only goal was to survive in a twisted world. She finds danger around every dark corner, unexpected betrayals, and tragic deaths. But when she finds her old friends, everything changes again. yeah its cheesy, I'm aware. its also not historically accurate. and the cover isnt mine.. credit to the artist you thought we were gonna hop into the good ol Ruski x Reader without a tragic backstory and some salty drama? HA! THINK AGAIN. The idea for "The Dauntless" doesn't belong to be, i got the idea for the name of this fearless underground shelter from the Divergent book series, they are super good and i recommend reading them! This is going to be my first real story on this account. I'm going to try and professionally write this story out and keep it serious, but I still have a lot going on, so updates will be slow. thanks for reading, enjoy this adventurous fic ;}
