A world in which magic flows through blood, passed down through families descending from The Six, hundreds of thousands of years ago. Now The Blessed are few and far between, magic fading and thinning with every generation that comes and goes- and safety for them is just as much of a rarity. There are communities spread across the world, two or three in every country, a safe haven of sorts for The Blessed, protected by ancient magic in place for generations. Impenetrable, most would think. And it was. For a very, very long time. Until one day, it wasn't. Then all of a sudden, Park Yeongsu found himself living the life of those he'd once been taught to fear.

Siren Song | Yungi
Mingi whispers his song louder, loud enough to lure the human closer, though he's careful not to sing it too loud. It has a tendency to kill friend and foe alike. The man obeys, hanging onto Mingi's every word. He takes a step closer, then another and another until he's practically leaning over the railing. He's close enough now that Mingi can see his stunningly wide eyes and his full lips and it's almost a shame that his life will end here, for he is the most beautiful thing Mingi thinks he's ever laid eyes on. He reaches out a clawed hand to touch the man's face. It's soft and smooth. Mingi is as captivated as the human seems to be and for a split second, the man's eyes are lucid. They are lucid and Mingi realizes he's stopped singing. His voice escapes him and his song dies in his throat and he doesn't even notice until San's voice is gone too and with it, the spell keeping the human obedient and still. OR A pirate tries to capture the siren trying to eat him and everything goes to shit for everyone involved.Complete

Between Sunless Seas

When Ren falls from his university ark in the stratosphere and through the Veil he expects to find a world of savage monsters and fiends. Instead, he discovers thriving communities between the sunless seas of the Veil. Making a bond with an injured bird, he journeys into uncertainty at a nearby port town before falling further into a world of pirates and criminals called the Parade . Ren will meet holy men, assassins, very angry cooks, and a captain with a mysterious past while trying to learn what life above the Veil never taught him, in the process finding a world of humanity under the cut throat survival and greed of the corporatized world above. Falling in with the crew of the airship Pigeon, Ren becomes embroiled in a scheme to free one of their crew-mates from a corporate labor ark while learning that the companies running things above the Veil might not be the paragons of morality they claim.Complete
