"'What the hell is wrong with you? You must be some sort of witch, that's it. HELP, WITCH IN THE CASTLE, WITCH IN THE CASTLE!' He continued shouting hysterically as he ran away from the girl through a door."
No one likes to feel pain. It is inconvenient and creates feelings of displeasure. Wouldn't it be better if we didn't feel anything? No more sorrow, no more heartache, no more unnecessary feelings of hurt. However, feeling nothing means no joy, no excitement, and no love. What price are you willing to pay not to be hurt anymore?
________________________
Keidase (Ky-dass) feels nothing. Ever since her childhood was taken from her, physical and emotional pain did nothing to her. She became unbreakable, however, she also lost empathy, joy, and love. Living in the faerie king's castle and trained to be a warrior, Keidase's life was monotone and devoid of anything good, that is until Zephyr (zef-ear), the faerie prince, came into the picture. Determined to break the emotionless girl's stale personality, he makes it his goal to teach her how to feel again; from his point of view, this will be easy. The only problem with that: his father, the King.

FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World
"Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay."
In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be.
When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood.
With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world--where death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past?
And what are they willing to risk to liberate a cruel world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity?
