Reta Falcon never did a bad thing in her life. She was good. The boy she loved was good. After he told her he loved her, the boy showed her just how much. 

She lived in Hertz Quarter all her life where they never touched a thing like those black magic screens that'd blink away ones wildest fantasies. They lived tech-free. Those kind of delusions were meant for the lesser people that resided within Chaos Quarter. Where they still played make believe with castles and kings and queens and princesses and princesses. 

Reta Falcon didn't know much about her world. She wanted to know why it ended, why it was the way it was now. But did that mean leaving her home forever? And chasing down the boy she loved into a happily never after?

Galaxy's life is filled with difficult choices and constant challenges. She has extraordinary powers, but they come with a heavy burden. Every day, she tries to control and use her abilities for good, but there's a pull toward something darker. The darkness offers more power and control, but it's also dangerous. Galaxy fears what she might become if she gives in, but the temptation is hard to ignore. At her core, Galaxy wants to protect the people she loves. But instead of letting them close, she pushes them away, believing the only way to keep them safe is by staying distant. She fears that if they get too close, the storm inside her will hurt them. The more she tries to protect them, the more isolated she feels. Her life is filled with training and missions from figures like Lance, who manipulates her into believing she needs to embrace the darkness to achieve her goals. Galaxy resists, but doubt constantly creeps in. She doesn't want to be a weapon; she wants to be a hero. But the darker side of her makes that feel impossible. Galaxy battles guilt and fear worried that one day, she'll lose herself completely to the darkness. Every time she uses her powers, she fears she's slipping further away from the person she once was. She wants to connect with others but struggles with her pride and anger, afraid of revealing the truth about her powers. But Harmony, Her cousin, who is fearful, strong calm, tries to bring her out from her dark side. She believes that Galaxy hasn't done anything wrong. Even though Galaxy tries to break her or tear Harmony's heart, Harmony will always be there. In her quiet moments, she wonders if she can still be the hero she once was, or if the darkness is now her only path. Galaxy's journey is one of constant conflict between light and darkness, love and power, and hope and fear.

Through the darkness, the computer screen illuminated the pale skin of Adelae's face around the black mask. Scrolling through the submitted questions, she came across one that made her smile. "Dear Lady Shade," She read aloud to herself. "Why did you choose to be a villain instead of a hero?" She chuckled, shaking her head at the simple, loaded question, before selecting it and opening the page to write a reply. "Hello Blogger KittyStan41. I bet you're expecting the classic tragic backstory in response to this question." she typed. " Dead parents, treated like trash as a kid, and it all came to a choice between rising to defeat my inner demons or succumbing to them. Well, my real answer is possibly something you haven't considered about the world of Heroes and Villains. Answer this for me, what is the goal of a hero? To make the world a better place, perhaps? No, dear KittyStan41. The classic goals of the Hero might seem epic and noble, but in the end it all comes down to stopping the Villain. What kind of life is that, when your only goals derive from the actions of someone else? Your whole life is used up as a preventative measure. Now does that sound like a good way to live? "I chose to be a villain not because I enjoy hurting people, but because I have goals that I plan to achieve. Don't bother asking what they are. If I told you, everyone would know, and people (baby heroes) would get in the way. Then how would I achieve them? I aspire to more. Is there need for a better reason?"

Many forget that the goddess of love was born from the raging sea, but she would do anything to protect her daughter. Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything. For there was a prophecy long before she was born: 'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne, Her paternity unknown. They would carve her face and never forget, for she would be the most beautiful that they had met Cursed for the same fate as her mother Forced to leave her love for another The only way she shall break this curse is if she defeats the first' "Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him. "Maybe she never did," I walk away, not sparing a single glance back, no matter how much my body was begging me to. I fuss over my hair, pouting as I run my fingers through it to put it back into place. *A warning note* I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot. Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.
