A girl with kaleidoscope eyes seems to be a magnet for danger. A boy keeps his distance and helps protect her secretly with magic for years, as a part of his apprenticeship to a Great Wizard who took him in when he was young (and a mixture of personal duty and fascination.) Against his mentor's guidance, over the years he falls in love with her. Although, he struggles with trying to maintain other relationships, training almost from sun up to sun down- in all his free time studying to be an extremely powerful wizard worthy of a title himself. She is finally getting footing in her nomadic life, had started to build something like a home when her life is upturned and when everything she didn't know about her powers and where she came from becomes the key she needs to save her friends, she goes on a quest to find The Fortress where the rest of her race of fractal-eyed people have isolated themselves from the rest of the world.

They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing. (Don't be too harsh please)
