It was the 20th century, but somewhere in the center of Europe where WW1 was affecting even this tiny remote village, Friedenburg, people still believed in supernatural powers, and not just God. After several attacks in the village, the people decided to perform a centuries-old ritual that involves virgin sacrifice to regain peace and security. 

Hearing that her best friend had been chosen, Amelia volunteered to be offered in the ritual. She didn’t believe in demons or angels but soon she found herself in a demon palace, locked in a cell with the Queen of the elves. 

On her journey of discovering this whole new world of demons and elves, spells and potions, she got a lot more than she bargained for. She discovered herself and her very own magical power even though she thought of herself no more than a plain, ordinary human girl. Most of all, she found love. But as the saying goes, no pain, no gain. What would she have to lose to earn the rest?

The years went by as Kira watched everyone else blossom and grow. The children had turned 18 and had stopped aging physically. With every passing year, their powers grew stronger, but they were not the only ones. He was getting closer; they were getting closer. Kira could feel it. It's almost like that tingling feeling on the back of your neck or when the hair on your skin would stand up straight. That strange feeling where a person feels like someone is standing behind them, but when they turn around, no one is there. That is how Kira feels; the intensity of those feelings grows with each passing year. It was only a matter of time before the Gates would open, and once more, Kira would face her own personal demon. He will come for her, and one of them will die, if not both of them. Looking back at her very long life, Kira realizes that she has many regrets. Such as allowing herself to live in fear, sheltering herself away in heaven, giving up her only child, not being there for her or their kin, and only watching what she has created bloom from afar. Had Kira known she was running out of time, she would've done things differently. For the choices she has made, she will pay the price. Time is ticking, like the sands of an hourglass. No matter how hard she tries to delay the inevitable, the sand continues to flow through her fingers. Nothing could prepare them for what is to come. Between the journal and Kira's nightmarish dreams, she doesn't know which scares her more. However, she does know one thing, and that is that she refuses to go down easily, even if it means she must make the ultimate sacrifice. It will be a fight to the finish.

❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 8] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carried, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out on a journey to find the Elementals - a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.
