Royally Divine

I never wanted the life of a Divine. I hated everything about them, everything they stood for. They were cruel, viscous creatures that took the lives of Undivine like me. When I was offered work as a maid for the Royal Divines, I never anticipated meeting one. I never anticipated becoming one. My powers emerged in a time of stress, powers I never knew I had. The Royals swept me away, forcing me to participate in the games. Three games, all meant to bring the four Courts together in an alliance. So many girls came to our Court, desperate to marry the twin princes. Two would succeed, and one would become our next queen. The other girls had always been High Divine, had always known it would come to this. I represented an alliance with the Undivine. I could resolve the unease of our people. I didn't want to play their games, but I knew I had no choice. I said I would do anything to keep my sister safe, anything to hide the monster inside of her from the treacherous world outside. And I did. I lied, I stole, and I killed for her. I even fell in love. But love has never mattered in the eyes of the Divine, and it certainly won't matter if I lose everything I fought so hard for.
