What would you do for immortality?
Any alchemist would answer the same. Anything.  When they finally capture the siren whose blood holds the key to their eternity, the alchemists have no inhibitions about using force to get her to willingly part with it.
After centuries of evading the alchemists, Roseza finds herself waking up in a cell and is forced to endure mental and physical torture under her captors as she tries to find a way to escape before breaking.  But, the longer she stays there, the more the alchemists begin to make Roseza question herself and who she's protecting. The longer she's there the longer Roseza wonders...
Even if she is rescued, can she ever go back?
Callum Marx is contacted for the first time by his father, Hades, to find his missing siren and rescue her from the alchemists before she cracks under them and allows the alchemists to rampage through the underworld. Unable to seek aid or advice from anyone, Callum must stand alone on his quest to find the nameless siren before it's too late.

Set Me As A Seal ✓ by outbriefcandle54

A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------

Once Strong, Now Broken by Queen_Gibby678

"I tried as hard as I could to understand why you all abandoned me. I could never understand what I did to you. As far as I remember, it was you who betrayed my trust, and given up on loving me. You all have been my last resort in life, but I guess I'm not wanted here either. I wanted to tell all of you how much you've lost, but you have my best wishes. Don't get yourselves killed, Olympus still needs protecting. Goodbye, Camp Half-Blood. I don't know if I'll ever see you again." Yours broken, Percy Jackson A SMALL NOTE: It's been forever since I've read the actual series so characters will be a bit OOC since my memory of the characters are not fresh by a long shot . I apologize in advance if this a dealbreaker for you!!

Immortal's Curse by AkatsukiTenshi

How can one explain an immortal that does not have a reason to live? Austin Hanford has been alive for almost as long as humans have existed, and he has seen pretty much everything. Nothing occupies his days much except for books, music, and surfing the Internet. He is up to date on the latest trends and more valuable than Google in terms of information--he has it all! But what is it worth when there is no point to it? One day, his life changes, when he meets Ellie. She's cute and she's sweet, but he's not the only one that wants her. Other immortals--and not-so-pleasant creatures--want her, too, though not for the same reason as he. Determined to protect her, he goes out of his way to watch out for her. It gets increasingly difficult as the size of their opposition grows. There is one way to save her--passing on his immortality to her. It would give her eternal life, both a blessing and a curse, but it would also take Austin's life. Has Austin found love he is willing to die for?
