Arthur x Tessia fan fiction -: A promise broken by Myraaaaaaaa1234

what if when Arthur returns from Alacrya and Tessia was always there cold and ruthless nothing like the girl he promised to ? In the wake of a devastating war, Arthur Leywin, once a hero and the future of Dicathen, has returned from Alacrya-now a man transformed. Gone is the boy Tessia once knew, replaced by the figure of Lance Godspell, a god-like savior hailed by the people for his victories over the Taci and alliances with the very people who destroyed her home. The kingdom celebrates his return, but Tessia can't bring herself to rejoice. As the head of Dicathen's strongest division, Tessia has fought relentlessly to protect her people, but the scars of war run deep. The death of her parents, the devastation of her homeland, and the choices Arthur made during his time away have hardened her heart. Now, the man she once trusted stands before her, worshipped by others, but to her, nothing more than a broken promise. With tensions rising and the kingdom still recovering from the ravages of war, Tessia must face Arthur once more. But forgiveness is a distant notion, and her anger toward him burns too brightly to ignore. As old alliances are tested and secrets begin to surface, Tessia will find herself caught between her duty to Dicathen and the unresolved rage she feels toward the man who left her behind. "The Broken Promise" explores the complexities of trust, vengeance, and the long road to healing, as two souls clash over a past that neither can escape.

Now, at 21, Nyx is struggling to survive, working all the time just to pay her bills. Her old friends haven't forgotten her, though. They finally find her, but getting close to her again isn't easy. Things get even harder when Xander, one of her friends, drags them into the dangerous world of illegal street racing. It's not just about racing cars-there are dangerous people involved, and the risks are real. What her friends don't know is that this racing world is connected to Nyx's past, a past she's been trying to forget. As the danger grows, Nyx realizes she has to step in to protect her friends, even if it means facing the part of her life she's been running from. She knows things about this world that no one else does, but she won't explain how. To keep her friends safe, Nyx has to make choices she might regret. But she's willing to do whatever it takes-because no one ever stood up for her when she needed help.

MASKED: Rise of the New Generation [Book One ReUploaded] by Lskies

*REUPLOADED as the published version of the story* In a world full of super-powered individuals, comic books have become real life. Superheroes and villains have epic battles in the streets, aliens dash through the skies, and everyday people have their daily lives hindered due to collateral damage. That's just the norm that everyone has grown used to. It's a new age of young supers rising to the top, and New Elysium City is the epicenter for this new generation. The paths that they take will carefully carve out the fate of their metropolis they call home. Some may choose to be the very face of good and justice, while others may instead take a darker turn. And the rest? Well, they're perhaps just a bit disgruntled and tired. With a new hero team in the making, they all must overcome their own trials in order to work together successfully. Hopefully, they can do it in time to stop the new wave of villains as crime in New Elysium truly never ceases. But will they be able to properly balance their real lives with their secret identities? Or will the weight of the world come crashing down around them?

24. P O W E R : Broken Heart by AxisRogue

Delvis Billiard is your typical laid-back computer-loving sci-fi geek. He loves his job, he loves Safe Haven, and he loves his fellow geek and fiancée Alice Jenkins. To put it simply, life is good. Until... it isn't. When the Devourer arrives in Safe Haven, tragedy strikes. Alice is brutally murdered after Billiard leaves her behind during what he assumed was an emergency drill, and the crushing guilt that results from his actions renders Billiard unable to carry on his duties as a Xirxine monitor. His focus is no longer on keeping Safe Haven Safe. Now, he is obsessed with only one thing: REVENGE. To obtain that revenge, there will be some hoops to jump through--and Billiard is more than willing to do whatever it takes to hunt down the Devourer and end her once and for all. However, in his pursuit of vengeance, he forges an unforeseen alliance that might just be the key to mending his broken heart. Meanwhile, Veronika struggles with the consequences of her actions. The voices and faces of those she's Purged haunt her relentlessly, making it increasingly difficult to sleep at night. Nevertheless, her zeal for the doctrine of the Saved spurs her on, even as new enemies (like the grieving fiancé of one of her victims) join the hunt for her head. The burden of her destruction is not one Veronika can bear alone, however. It might take some convincing, but sooner or later, Veronika will have to realize that she needs a shoulder to lean on--and one of the Crusaders seems all too eager to offer it. One's heart is broken, one is the breaker. It won't be long before they cross paths in an explosive showdown that's bound to make your heart race...

Broken hero by AuraAMoon

"Rain begins to pour from the sky, mixing with the bright red liquid pooling at the figure's feet. Her long black hair sticks to her pale face, her black eyes blank as she stares at the body laying at her feet." Life has always been hard for the dark hero, and the final straw was when her girlfriend becomes abusive. After a fight with her twin ends in his death, she goes undercover as a villian to stop government documents from being stolen. It's also a nice distraction from her past. However, when she catches a young hero's attention will she be able to continue her mission or will it all go downhill? After years of abuse, this sparky hero flees her family before they can marry her off. Life becomes interesting when a dark villain catches her eye. Can she break through their walls or will fate tear them apart? ((Trigger warning for rape,domestic violence, and child loss. I wanted to make a hero that shows even the toughest of people struggle with issues like dv and rape, and it's ok to ask for help.))
