The Dethroned Beast And The Exiled Princess
Jax suppressed his urge to roll his eyes at Castilla's question again. Was it not obvious that he had to say it to her? He spun her around, and one arm stayed around her waist firmly; the hand rested on the small of her warm back. His other hand tilted her chin up. So he could look into her endless forest gaze. His eyes had changed to their fiery storm. "I don't know what to call it as yet, Castilla. But deep down, I knew you were meant for me, and I was never going to let go. I offered the alliance because I could keep you safe and not keep you against your own will. To give you a purpose that I know your heart truly desires. I want you by my side. If I had just asked, you wouldn't have stayed." When Castilla learned that all she knew was a lie, and all that she would learn would be the truth. Would she pick the right side? Was there even a right one to begin with? The enemy was neither a foe nor a friend. He asked, and she agreed.

Soul
"In a world ruled by power and tyranny, peace is a distant dream. You were once a child, innocent and new to life, yet someone ignited the flames of destruction, suffocating your breath and stealing away the purity of your air. All that remained were fleeting drops of water and the faintest hope that the fires would one day cease. Perhaps you were gifted, your powers beyond what was ever expected, but power isn't just strength-it's a threat. Years passed, and you grew to despise everyone and everything. In rage and vengeance, you found a twisted kind of salvation. Amidst the chaos, you found home with someone you've picked up while desperately trying to escape the chains of fate. And though agony shaped my path, I never wavered from my purpose. Through hell and blood, I built my name and wealth, offering others a chance for redemption, for lives once broken like my own. Now, after all this time, I've prepared to fulfill the final task of my life. Many will weep, blood will stain the earth, but certainly, they will pay for stealing my childhood. - Anastas
