At the end of their lives, their story begins.
Death gathers the souls of seven seemingly unconnected people in The Land of Deceased to give them a rare opportunity. Death will reveal to them the truths of these tragic and untimely deaths. He will give them closure and understanding and reveal to them the truth of how our souls survive.

I claim no rights to any of the individual tracks, the album, the lyrics, the instrumentals, the band, or their name. Famous Last Words is signed to InVogue Records and all legal rights go to the respective parties. I have no affiliation with either. This is purely a fan-made retelling. The cover art is a photo I edited myself of official artwork for the individual tracks and the cover of the Council of the Dead single.

Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you? Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved. Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.Complete![The Dragon Kings and the Prophecy [SAMPLE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/336419566-256-k296799.jpg)
The Dragon Kings and the Prophecy [SAMPLE]
The is now a SAMPLE ONLY. The story will continue EXCLUSIVELY on AnyStories. "Hello little one" came a booming voice, deep and sultry that made my stomach flutter like wings of a butterfly. "My Lord" I replied, keeping my head down, a quick curtesy, and eyes glued to the floor as if the marble tile was the most interesting pattern in the room. The auras coming from the dragon king was so demanding I felt like I could pass out. "Look at me little one. We do not bite. Much." the voice commanded, although gently it held power. A few snickers softly resonated. I took a breath and gently rose my eyes to meet the most beautiful golden eyes. I was so entranced that I almost didn't hear the one word that was going to change my life forever. Little did I know just how much my life was about to change. "MATE." It took me a minute to register what just happened. Excuse me? Did i just hear the word mate? Oh shit. -------- Everly lives in a world where supernatural creatures live side by side humans.

Her last Letters
Last words. What exactly are they? Are they the secrets one wanted to reveal? Are they the apologies one never made? Are they the promises one will never break? Are they the words one could never say? Are they the goodbye's one never had the time or heart to say face to face? Are they one's gratitude for a lovely life? Or are they about the pain one felt? The anger one never expressed? The fears one never faced? The answers are many... Point is what do you believe in? And as for me, I believe Last Words are heart felt confessions. Whatever the person says, it comes from their heart. And when it's suicide, the last words are the words the person has always wanted to say but was stopped by some or the other kind of fear. _*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* This is story of a young 17 year old sweet girl with the heart of gold.
