“A princípio foi este olhar um simples encontro; mas, dentro de alguns instantes, era alguma coisa mais. Era a primeira revelação, tácita mas consciente, do sentimento que os ligava. Nenhum deles procurara esse contato de suas almas, mas nenhum fugiu. O que eles disseram um ao outro, com os simples olhos, não se escreve no papel, não se pode repetir ao ouvido; confissão misteriosa e secreta, feita de um a outro coração, que só ao céu cabia ouvir, porque não eram vozes da terra, nem para a terra as diziam eles. As mãos, de impulso próprio, uniram-se como os olhares; nenhuma vergonha, nenhum receio, nenhuma consideração deteve essa fusão de duas criaturas nascidas para formar uma existência única.”— Helena, Machado de Assis

"Goodbye Curly Head" by NUmaker
40 parts Complete
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)

*Slowly being edited* Legend has it that a long time ago,Apollo,son of Zues and Leto fell in love with Eirine, the daughter of Poseidon and Malantheia...with which she bore him a daughter who they named Kai. Their beautiful daughter was born on July the 18th,under the full moon. She had the most beautiful eyes any person had ever seen, engulfing them in such a trance of beauty and sirenity.Her eyes shown pure white, revealing the beautiful specks of detail, with two small pools of blue and purple under the pupil. They were just one of the reminders of her uniqueness. Apollo and Eirine knew that they had to hide her away from the world,with his affair he had with Eirine, their daughter would not only be in danger by the other gods and kingdoms,but the light lavender colour in her eyes meant she would be destined to be a vessel/Childbearer for a lycanthrope prince. Together they decided that Eirine would run away to live on earth as a normal person and not as a goddess. She would be hidden with their daughter, until they figured something out. But...word leaked out and as Apollo bid her farewell they were caught in a crossfire between two elements,that of the sea and the other from the lands. Each side fought over who would take the child,because it was said that she would be the next in line in Poseidons sea world kingdom,or that she would be the next ruler of a kingdom on land,whether it be her mates or not. Her existence brought war and Chaos upon them all.Knowbody cared for the now 6 month old baby,all they wanted from her was the power she possessed, and for the great things that were destined in her future. But little did they know that if she stayed alive any longer, she'd be their downfall and the rest of the worlds... ~Read the full prologue in the book<( ̄︶ ̄)>
