To Whom I Belong To

For the longest time Raina lived her life as she knew it to be; a girl from a rich family who had little say in her future. She didn't question things or the way they were, she simply allowed time to flow. Her family, dysfunctional as it was, she bothered to question even less. Like a blank canvas waiting to be ravished, Raina stood stillborn in her own life.

But what were to happen if she started to believe there was more from life than what she was told to expect? If she started thinking for herself, for even a moment, and imagining all the endless possibilities that could await her?

To her it seemed out of reach somehow. Too sudden and reckless. Until one mysterious event drags her from her satin sheets and silk robes and plunges her into a world full of the tales she'd only ever imagined in her dreams.

"To be apart of a world, bigger than yourself. To hold a legacy, older than your lifetime. To have a love, against the better beings of your instincts.

That is what it means to exist here. To rule, to conquer, to live. You must wear your sleeves in your pockets and brand your shoulders with the mark of your heart.

Only then can you be a being, among all beings, and a true viper among the garden."
