There are ties binding everyone, even in a world of magic. Over time, they can get tangled, obscured that it's hard to see where they lead you.
These ties that bind can save you, or destroy you.
They can make a tyrant, who commands thousands of soldiers and warlocks, brings destruction in his wake.
They can make a mutineer, a man who's lost it all.
They can make a son, desperate to please.
They can make an orphan, one bent on revenge.
No matter what these ties turn you into, no matter how much you wish to, you cannot cut these ties. One simply has to live with them.

THE VILLAIN'S TEARS
Under an oath, humans and the abyss coexist in a lengthy, tranquil world of the seven kingdoms, where they are safe from harm. But after this particular race crossed the boundary of severing the peaceful oath between these two distinct lineages, violence breaks out. In the midst of a battle, a baby was born with the belief that the child in the prophecy would bring about world peace for all time. However, the child lived a miserable life, losing its loved ones one after another until it had nothing left. The child made an effort to be on the bright side, but its inner darkness is gradually destroying its faith in people and its hope. Is it possible that the child would fulfill its role as the prophecy's one? Who can predict what the child's journey will be? After reading the entire story, you'll be able to determine whether or not the child's choice was the right one.
Magic and Destiny: Fate
What do you do when you know the fate of the world is going to rest on the shoulders of a child? Worse. What do you do when you know that child is going to kill you? What do you do when you know that this child fated to save the world, is your very own? You train them of course. Deep from the past, and mythologies and pantheons of old gods, mixed with Fantasy, Adventure, and Science Fiction. This story takes place in a world much like our own. However, unlike our world, the people are not all the same. There are hybrids. Humans that have feline features, dog features, and other animals. Mice who can talk and play an integral role in the formation of the world around them. Bound to their heroes when they meet, they must travel far and wide wherever their hero goes. But this story isn't about the mouse-kin. No, this story is about the transfer of power from one legacy to another, and the struggles in between.Complete
