Deep within unearthly caverns veiling an ancient hell, two hapless souls, bred by two different worlds found in the other a compassion and mutual understanding rivalling that of their own and, as an infrangible bond was destined to be forged, they came to learn that love transcends all. 

Elizabeth 'Liz' Summers future prospect was double shifts just to pay her student mortgage, so when she was offered a paid position at the Iraqi Survey Group (ISG) to assist in locating and neutralizing weapons of mass destructions (WMDs) she was soon to accept, despite her apprehension. Little did she know, the ongoing conflict and the alleged WMDs would soon prove to be the least of her worries, or that she would fall in love when she had expected it the least.

"Love is never an easy thing. It's a journey to one's happiness. An expedition to find peace. You would experience hardships beyond your comprehension. Your patience will be tested to it's limits. You will know pain. A kind of pain that can render you useless. A pain that can shake your soul and leave you empty. A pain that leaves you breathless, weak and woebegone. Do you still wish for it?" She told me, her words made me excited. I've never wanted anything this much in my life. "I do." I said eagerly. She placed a hand on my chest - where the heart should be - and closed her eyes. She started speaking in a different language that I don't know, but somehow, understood. "Half a heart Fated souls One is to each Each is to one An Inhabiter that searches A Drifter that waits A difficult journey for love Now, let it commence"

"You're not supposed to be awake," she said to him. Her voice was rather deep, but somehow, still soft and feminine. "And you're not supposed to be here." He didn't dare get out of bed, but he rose onto his elbow. She squinted for a moment and then raised one corner of her mouth. "You naughty boy! Been skimping on your meds, have you?" ********************************************** He is utterly lost. Lost in time, without control. Lost in a world that's strange and daunting. But he must not give up. He's a fighter, after all. And though his sword fighting skills don't count for much here, it's the unrelenting spirit that can either break or save him. And her... Always coming out of seemingly nowhere. Always renewed, yet so familiar. Come to give comfort or just remind him fate has not forgotten him. And each time she leaves, it's like she rips a part of him along. They share a common understanding about the subtleties of life. She's the only one who gets him, yet that gnawing feeling that there's so much more about her just keeps him on his toes. But she never stays long enough for him to find out. Until one day when he convinces her to stay for longer. And the mystery starts to surface. But she's not used to it. She runs... never expecting him to follow into hell. Disaster strikes and breaks him, in a way that turns him callous and cruel. And that in turn breaks her, making her sacrifice her love for his greater good. But does fate agree with that? This is a rollercoaster of emotions, not built for the faint of heart. But it's for those who will endure through the pain and suffering that the greatest rewards await on the other side. Come! Join the adventure!
