**AUTHOR'S NOTE - I'm very excited to share this project with you all! This is a passion project of mine, a love letter to the YA fantasy genre, as well as a deconstruction of many of the tropes. It's a twist on the usual YA fantasy formula, and will definitely be poking fun at certain aspects! I hope you will find it a refreshing breath of fresh air, and love it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Currently, upon creation of this story, I have around 90 pages of content, and be rolling out the titles of the first five chapters, alongside the full chapter one, upon release! Afterwards I'll continue rolling out the next five chapter titles until I fully complete all five, and so on and so forth. Have fun, guys, and enjoy!

But other beings are lurking in the shadows. They know the truth about Erebus and Nyx. They know that the pair are the Relics, the only two powerful beings in the world capable of taking down the greatest evils known to any kind. Soon, Nyx and Erebus become the hunted, and must try and escape the evil plans of the war lord, Bellum. Can Nyx and Erebus master their newfound powers, and even if they do, can they survive?
