The Night's Child

Cynthia knows virtually nothing about her past, and neither do her siblings. All they know are their names, that they reside within the protection of Avalon, and that they would be nothing without The Lady. They were created within the heart of a storm, and only under The Lady's watchful care will they fulfill their potential for true greatness. She gave them everything; a beautiful life full of magic, enchantment, and wonder. A full life of riches and all of the comfort they could ask for. Yet, still, there is something missing; there always is. Perhaps it's that itch of curiosity that leads her to sneak out. Or perhaps it's just the call to the void that beckons her to go beyond The Mist. Though, no matter how many times she goes searching for whatever she thinks she's looking for, something always feels missing.

Until one night, a one-sided reunion with a golden-eyed thief may lead her to the answers she's looking for.

(Author's Note: Hello dear readers! Wow, I can't believe I started writing this back in 2016. I was still in Grade 9 when I last updated this. I've been meaning to write more lately and while I was nostalgically reading stuff from my teen years I was thinking about maybe updating and continuing with this. I'll be editing the original chapters and trying to continue the story on a semi-regular schedule to get back into the habit of writing. Though disclaimer I haven't read The Child Thief since I was in Grade 8-9 and have forgotten a lot of it. However, my university self still has a love for fairy tales and myths so I'll keep with the original setup, though warning this will probably not be the most cannon-compliant work unless I re-read The Child Thief sometime in the future. Thank you for joining me on this journey and I hope that you also have a fun time.
