Lucius was raised to be great. An omen that coincided with his birth marked him as the one to end a reign of terror over the people of Fure. He was always destined to be a hero.

But heroes aren't born. They're forged. 

On witnessing the brutal murder of a family member, Lucius swears to right the wrong done that day, and prevent the murderers from walking away unharmed as they have done so many times before. And so begins his journey as his destiny contends with his will, for his desire for revenge collides with the hero's path laid out for him.

Lucius wants to avenge his family, no matter the consequences. 

And in a world where the gods seem dead, there is nothing to stop him.

The Purple Eyed Girl by pienenspike
58 parts Complete Mature
Thousands of centuries ago humans, vampires, and werewolves lived together in harmony, considering one equal to the other. Ruled by a council of three kings, with one from each fullblood race, peace endured for quite some time. All of it was destroyed when many years later the new vampire and werewolf kings both wanted to rule over the kingdom alone. A massive war broke out between the vampires and the werewolves and millions of lives were lost. In a last attempt to stop the war one hundred years later, the land was divided into three kingdoms, the vampires, humans and werewolves. The borders were shut, crossbreeding was forbidden since it created halfbloods and demons and each kingdom was led by the king of their respective race. In secret, however, it was decided that the human king would watch over them all to prevent another war from ever happening again. Since the human kingdom laid inbetween the other two, the humans invented technology to keep all the races at bay and trained the warriors of their army as skilled hunters. As time and generations went by, the kingdoms became more isolated and the common humans forgot that supernatural beings even existed. However, the war had never truly been resolved so the hatred that the vampires and werewolves had for each other endured. When a mysterious murder occurs, chaos breaks out within the kingdoms. A throne must be taken, blood must be shed, a choice must be made and all must be answered by a girl with purple eyes.
