Where's the line between justice and revenge?
For more than 300 hundred years, firebeasts have plagued the lands of Brinelm, burning whole cities to the ground with their attacks. It's only thanks to the technological advances of the Guild and the courage of the Watch Scouts that the people have been saved from the flames of the beasts.
When Helena, a lieutenant of the Watch, finds evidence that higher ranking officers of the Watch have been manipulating the firebeasts for their own gain, she is determined to bring them to justice. Her integrity comes with a heavy cost however, and she soon finds herself on the wrong side of the nation's judgment. Cast out and hated for crimes that were never hers.
Determined to see justice, Helena assembles a motley band of fellow outcasts and petty criminals who can all rally around one shared goal - expose the deceit of those who would use the threat of the beasts for their own gain.
But as the truth of the firebeasts becomes more evident, and the likelihood of success begins to dwindle, Helena's determination for justice begins to look more and more like a desperation for revenge.
Where is the line between justice and revenge? At what point on a hero's journey do they become just another monster out for blood? And if that line is crossed, is there any hope for redemption?

Bleeding Rose | Kol Mikaelson
The Roseblood Clan. Three thousand years worth of magic cursing through their people's blood. Long before the Bennetts, before the Travellers, The Other Side and the Ancestors, there had been the Roseblood clan. Witches forged from the dying breath of a dragon in the centre of Scotland. The blood of the dragon was the legacy of their people. Yet, stories and history could be twisted by the victors of the many battles that had plagued the clan. A war between kin had destroyed the legacy of the Roseblood Clan. After a thousand years, their rule of magic had come to a halt. For over two thousand years, a story had been spun. The story of the evil siphoner. The abomination that had ruined their line. Yet, the truth loomed, threatening to reveal the true reason as to why siphoners existed. What their true purpose was. Were they abominations, the bastards of the magical world or were they meant to take power from those undeserving to ensure it was not misused? Only the victor of the battle gets to tell the tale. Athena Flora Roseblood was far from a victor. Being a firstborn Roseblood had cursed her like many others before her. Firstborn women in their line were not meant to meet their first breath of air, they were destined to die, to be sacrificed within the womb to help empower their coven, yet for the first time in two thousand years, a firstborn woman had come screaming into the world. Athena was never been meant to be born. Her blood haunted her from the second she took her first breath, her house divided thanks to thousands of years of lies. Lies that may never come to the light of day. Fear was a powerful totem and after two thousand years of lies, it left Athena trapped within the cage created for her. The abomination, the bastard of nature, the Roseblood Siphoner. Nothing to the world but a mistake and a monster.

The Nionian Kingdom had known only war, destruction and loss for over a decade, and Oryan did not escape that fate. Sent to Vandraad to become a Hunter and, ultimately, protect the Kingdom, Oryan learnt the truth of that night eleven years ago, and began her journey of revenge, while mourning. This is a story of war and monsters, of love as well as hate, and, above all, of how one can easily lose themselves in revenge and broken heart. --- "I suppose I couldn't expect you to comprehend, let alone approve. You have no idea what it is like to spend your entire f*cking life consumed by this immense suppressed rage growing inside, to have your parents taken away from you, to watch them fade in front of you, and have no ability whatsoever to help them. That night has haunted me for eleven f*cking years, during which I could do nothing to avenge them." - Oryan. --- NOTE 1: Use of strong language NOTE 2: english is NOT my first language. So, naturally, there are some mistakes. Feel free to point them out (nicely!) so I can correct them!Complete
