"Riddle me this little Queen: A crooked crown and a toy soldier. A bloodied blade and a haunted sailor. What do these four things have in common?"
-------
Koshoni was not sucked into a story. She clawed her way in.
She was not swept away, not stolen from her perfect life and friends and family. She planned and plotted, read and rode and forced her way into this world cruelty and circus.
But the tale she finds herself in now is quite different from the one she intended.
Natse is not a hero.
Soraya is not a saint.
Captain is not a paragon.
They are a rag tag band in a sinking ship. I can promise you one thing, however, dear reader. Koshoni and her crew will be legends.

The Inured Villainess
Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete
