"Abridged are strong. Benders are fragile. Even me.
Under my thick skin of steel, I'm not thick-skinned at all."

Gus is a Steel Bender, feared by many, including herself. But her ability is not to be wasted. When her realm of exile is attacked, she has to accept the path her powers laid down for her, despite her true nature. Against her will, she becomes a Devotee, a military Bender whose sole purpose is to serve her twin Trooper. Her dad, the most talented Steel Bender in history, didn't fail at the job. He died at it.
But if Gus dies, Steel bending dies with her, along with the hopes of freedom for the rest of the Benders of Darhterre.

In this realm, bending is a curse rather than a blessing. Benders are weak and the Abridged, those who can't bend elements, are strong enough to secure thrones and make rules. They are the ones with real power. Power Benders won't ever have.

She was never one to be swayed... Trained to have a hard exterior from when she was just a fledgling, she had a hard time confronting these conflicting sentiments that'd raided her. She was never one to be religious... But after the incident, she prayed to whatever god there was. She was never one to believe in love... But the outcome of that history brought along a foreign feeling, one that she always pleaded to be freed from. She was one to be strong, to completely dispose of problems that may arise to be an issue. She believed in her power and knew that only she took whatever means to get to where she was. She was one to fight like never before, not caring if they had families. But... Now she'd gone soft, and she knew it. So it was either she disposed of the root of her problems, or be disposed. ~Γ—~ Betrayed by her friend and ditched on her supposed lover, she is being imprisoned for what she thought was right after her last hope of family abandons her. Now banished from the Kingdom to an unknown land, the young female must find a way to survive and have her revenge. But alas, the damned gods were never on her side this time to begin with. It's a tug of war, and time's running out. Who will win? Will it be the tigress? Or shall the Vikings conquer? Find out in... THE VIKING AND THE TIGRESS. β„Œπ”¦π”€π”₯𝔒𝔰𝔱 π”―π”žπ”«π”¨π”°: #1 𝔦𝔫 π”žπ”°π”°π”²π”©π”± - 2024 #2 𝔦𝔫 π”Ÿπ”’π”±π”―π”žπ”Άπ”žπ”© - 2024 #1 𝔦𝔫 π”žπ”²π”±π”₯π”¬π”―π”¦π”±π”žπ”±π”¦π”³π”’ - 2024 #3 𝔦𝔫 π”€π”¬π”―π”’π”žπ”«π”‘π”Ÿπ”©π”¬π”¬π”‘ - 2024. ~β„‘π”ͺπ”žπ”€π”’π”° π”žπ”―π”’π”«'𝔱 π”ͺ𝔧𝔫𝔒, π”žπ”©π”© 𝔠𝔯𝔒𝔑𝔦𝔱 𝔀𝔬𝔒𝔰 𝔱𝔬 𝔱π”₯𝔒 𝔬𝔴𝔫𝔒𝔯 𝔣𝔯𝔬π”ͺ 𝔭𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔒𝔯𝔒𝔰𝔱 ℭ𝔬𝔳𝔒𝔯 π”ͺπ”žπ”‘π”’ π”Ÿπ”Ά π”ͺ𝔒, β„­π”’π”«π”±π”―π”žπ”©_𝔳𝔒𝔒~
