Helen is anything but certain that she will be picked to bond with the magical creatures that humanity is entrusted to protect. She is an orphan that has no hope for her small life besides the fact that no one cares anymore what she decides to do. The best she can hope for is to become a Provider and live out the rest of her boring life alone.
Freya is a Nexus, one guaranteed to bond with a magical creature, but disappoints her rich and prosperous family by being chosen by a weak, wind unicorn. They force her to learn the ways of the Provider, the only place they believe her skills will be useful, completely disregarding her pleas to become a Warrior instead.
One rich, one poor.
One with limitless possibilities, one with none.
Both escape the destiny put upon them.
Both pave the way for generations to come.

Recalls of Surrender
Alchemy has always been a key to understanding the universe, yet it has often been dismissed as mere superstition. The truth seared through my veins like scorching heat, igniting every cell of my being with a searing, uncompromising judgment. I sacrificed everything-my strength and sense of identity-chasing after an overwhelming purpose. Duty and conviction waged a war against a primal yearning for freedom, unleashing a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to tear me apart. This internal hell fueled an insatiable, maddening lust for vengeance, obliterating my moral compass and propelling me toward utter destruction. Only when I made a final decision did the fundamental principles of morality seem to slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Each savage blow against the oppressive system left me questioning: am I a righteous crusader, or a monster consumed by hatred? The poisonous doubt gnawed at my mind, suffocating my thoughts with insidious whispers. Yet, I found the strength to silence them. With fierce determination burning in my veins, I vowed to break free from the chains of oppression or die trying. Fear would not hold me captive any longer. As I teetered on the edge of life and death, I couldn't help but wonder: would I emerge victorious or succumb to the relentless wheels of fate? The answer lies shrouded in the mists of an uncertain future, but one thing is irrefutable: win or lose, every decision will ignite an inferno of change. This cataclysmic revolution will raze the old world and herald the birth of a new era. In this cosmic roulette, even the most steadfast warriors can turn to dust in the blink of an eye. Therefore, are you willing to participate? Given that there always was, is, and will be war. Hope stands stronger than fear, yet anything is possible when darkness lingers. It is the deflection of accountability and guilt. Yet when all seems lost, trust that the butterfly knows where the water flows.
Let's be Together
A kiss can change everything. One kiss with your best friend, and it changes the whole dynamic. What will you do when you get to know that your best friend has been in love with you? What will you do when she doesn't want to be friends anymore and wants more instead? * "Everytime I see you with a guy, my skin fucking burns" Millie hisses, pinning me with an intense look that makes my belly flip. I am pinned to the wall with her caging me. "Do you know how hard it is to pretend that you are only my friend, and nothing more? That I love you but cannot have you?" Her words spin inside my head, and the thundering beating of my heart echoes in my ear. How do we come to this situation? I pant as she leans closer, her eyes averting to my parted lips. I am having thoughts of kissing her. Hell, I see her in my dreams so often now that I am not sure what she means to me now. Millie caresses my cheeks and a shiver runs down my spine. "I can't pretend anymore, Grace. It's getting really hard" she whispers in my ear and I squirm. When she meets my eyes, I say something that surprises her. "Then don't." I crash my lips on hers, crossing whatever lines we had.Complete

Freya, a proud and strong-headed warrior of the smilodon(or saber-fanged cats beast clan), has always fought tooth and claw to protect her clan. As the defacto secondary leader of the clan, just beneath her brother Kenrick. She was his most loyal fang until his unforeseen betrayal shattered everything they once had. Left with an unsightly scar and a shattered heart, Freya sets out to leave the only home she's ever known. After such an unimaginable betrayal from her own blood, Freya vows to carve her own path in a world teeming with beastmen far unlike herself. Finding that the mainland holds just as many secrets as her own icy homeland. Among strange beast tribes she's never seen and cunning predators around every turn, she seeks revenge, but fate has more than bloodshed in store for her. As she fights her way through this unforgiving land, powerful and alluring men cross her path...warriors, outcasts, and kings, all drawn to the fierce and untamed woman who refuses to kneel to anyone or anything. But trust is a fragile thing, and love is an even deadlier game. To reclaim her place in the world, Freya must decide: will she forge a new home of her own or burn the past home and all its traitorous inhabitants to the ground itself? ~ Usually Weekly Updates ;3 ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another installment based around the universe and characters of my Fanfiction of 'Beauty and the Beasts.'
