Ink Masters [WxW] [Modern fantasy]

A gambler and a maid. A troublemaker and a runaway. A broken daredevil and a fallen saint.

Beatrix is reckless, impulsive and insolent. She steals, lies and hurts- like most would do out of necessity, except she does it for fun. She is the type disliked by many, and tolerated by one. This does not change when she sees a mysterious white-haired woman fending for her life. She simply watches, entertained, until memories long buried and entangled deep within her are stirred. Amusement turns into interest. Interest into a challenge. And a challenge into a commitment.

Requinn is gentle, understanding and obedient. That's how she would always be, if only she hadn't been strained to her limits for far too long. The duties, the punishments, the humiliation, the secrets. All of it was finally taking its toll. So, when the teal-haired woman steps into her fragile life, she takes the risks, even if one of them is death. The risk turns into opportunity. The opportunity into fun. The fun into freedom.

Welcome to the city that hides the few people capable of giving life to their art. Their power is beautiful and deadly, but it can come at two costly prices: resources and sanity.
