ONC Shortlister 2023!

There are few rules in the Kingdom of Kadotaru, and punishment is not kind, even for the young prince who wishes he was anybody else. Tied to the crown, to his family, to his kingdom, there isn't much he can do. He isn't born to bear the crown, to rule over all the creatures of Kadotaru, but it still haunts him. He never thought to break a rule, there was too much fear deep in his heart. He never thought to break any rules, until she was able to see him.

Humans. Humans don't have true sight. They aren't seers, or creatures of Kadotaru. So why can she see him? Why does she reach out to help him? And why did he have to break Kadotaru's most sacred rule?

-------------------------------------------------------

This novella will include extreme violence. There will be warnings at the beginning of the chapters that include this show of brutality, but do not reach this novella if you do not wish to read horrific scenes.

"Ah your majesty, I guess you might be wondering why I am here to torture the hell out of you right? It is all simple, I am here for nothing but to seek revenge. Do you remember that little girl from the neighboring kingdom? The one who you 'murdered'? Yeah her, guess what? She's not dead, neither is her mother, but her father on the other hand, wasn't spared from your sword. With it slicing through his intestines and I watching it on my mother's back. "Do you know how that affects a child? Seeing their precious father being murdered right in front of her eyes. You thought that you buried us six feet underground. Well jokes on you. Those were dummies that my mother created to fool you. We buried my father in a funeral only of us two," she said wiping away a stray tear, "You know, it is always said, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ... and a life for a life." She tightened her grip on the king's throat and he groaned out loud in pain. The bones on his backbone cracked slowly under the immense force. Daryl had seen the whole thing. From what she had said, she had every right to take his father's life away, but, he didn't want her to have any blood in her hands. "Tatyana! Please don't kill my father. I know you have every reason to, but please, don't kill him." He broke the silence that had surrounded the room with his plea. Tatyana threw a glance at him and her heart ached at the sight of him like that. She had come all this way, what was left was just to snap his neck, and all would be over. Will she do it? Find out by reading Hidden Princess! Never leave the journey they will go through and know how the story ends. Remember, its not the happy ending that matters, but the tribulations one may go through in order to obtain it. Cover credits go to @omnikinetic. If you want an awesome cover, go to her cover shop.😊

"I wish you were dead", she hissed at him as she broke the kiss. "Do it, kill me", he hissed back. She went for his throat, the lessons definitely helped but she was no match for him. "One day you'll be able to best me. Lucky for me that day isn't today." Ivy had wanted to claw his eyes out, "you're a monster." "So is everyone." "Not everyone kills seventeen guards." "You're right, only the strong kill in our world. Too bad we don't live in a fairytale." "Don't dare make me feel insane, it's insane, the world we live in!

You love how loving me makes you feel." "And how does loving you make me feel?" "Like your heart isn't black." "Fair enough." They kissed urgently, Ivy removed her pants while he ripped her shirt from her body....

The Purple Eyed Girl by pienenspike
58 parts Complete Mature
Thousands of centuries ago humans, vampires, and werewolves lived together in harmony, considering one equal to the other. Ruled by a council of three kings, with one from each fullblood race, peace endured for quite some time. All of it was destroyed when many years later the new vampire and werewolf kings both wanted to rule over the kingdom alone. A massive war broke out between the vampires and the werewolves and millions of lives were lost. In a last attempt to stop the war one hundred years later, the land was divided into three kingdoms, the vampires, humans and werewolves. The borders were shut, crossbreeding was forbidden since it created halfbloods and demons and each kingdom was led by the king of their respective race. In secret, however, it was decided that the human king would watch over them all to prevent another war from ever happening again. Since the human kingdom laid inbetween the other two, the humans invented technology to keep all the races at bay and trained the warriors of their army as skilled hunters. As time and generations went by, the kingdoms became more isolated and the common humans forgot that supernatural beings even existed. However, the war had never truly been resolved so the hatred that the vampires and werewolves had for each other endured. When a mysterious murder occurs, chaos breaks out within the kingdoms. A throne must be taken, blood must be shed, a choice must be made and all must be answered by a girl with purple eyes.
