The Threads of Time converge upon a young woman born to the name of Säyä, who yearns for knowledge like a starving child craves to be fed. Her journey and decisions will shape far more than she ever dared to imagine as she embarks upon a quest where she shall confront the meaning of life, of death, and the fate of her own soul. The Destiny that is Written is not easily swayed from its chosen course. For Säyä, the stream of Providence will take her to places beyond anything that she could have possibly prepared herself for - to the very edges of Space/Time and beyond as she walks in the shadow of the Immortal One.

Revival, Emperor Geta ✔︎ by Reignsomxo

The roaring sound of the crowd drummed her ears as she sat in her seat, hands gripping the sides tightly as her eyes remained on the scene in front of her. What was once two men fighting was now one holding his blooded sword up in complete victory, a beaming smile on his face as those in the colosseum cheered more. She looked to her side, her husband to be with a blank expression on his face. His eyes remained locked in front of him, unamused as usual. She darted her eyes away from him, closing them quickly not wanting to look at the man to whom she was just an accessory too. But the sound seemed to simmer down, the feeling of someone staring at her ever growing on her senses, without thinking her eyes snapped towards the emperors who were sat in large chairs surrounded by the Praetorian guards. His eyes on hers. // After being sold away for a marriage between herself and a very much older member of the senate, Cecilia must find away to push forwards and reach the positives in her life that seemed to be drained away from her ever since she was sold away to live in Rome with a man she will not and does not love. But things begin to take a turn when a certain emperor makes his way present in her life, almost as if he lifted the positivity into her life.
