When Elements Collide

Alya was a young girl when she was sent to live and work at the castle. With her parents dead, she had no where else to go but with a stranger with a strong friendship with her mother. Ten years later, Alya has melted into the routine and duties of a servant, and has created a motley family of her own. It is simple. It is all she needs. All she wants- until him. Benjamin comes out of no where, and suddenly he's all she thinks about. But after their bizarre first encounter, can she really be blamed? She knows him, but they've only just met. He is familiar, yet so completely foreign. And the rope constantly pulling them together is difficult to ignore. But with rumors of the war rising from the current stalemate and an upcoming draft, where will that leave them? Will they even survive long enough to find out?
