"To you I'm nothing more than a fox like a hundred other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you'll be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world."
~ Le Petit Prince
The air seemed to chill a lot more now and tiny flakes of snow begun to fall. The clouds seemed to twist and the winds sped up a notch, I felt goosebumps rise up my arms and neck. I shivered, a blizzard was obviously brewing and my horse was nowhere.
I sped up my pace but paused immediately. Standing in the snow beside an old withered cherry tree was a dazzling red fox, his eyes closed and enjoying the cool snow falling over his fur and onto his nose.
I made a low whistle, Foxes aren't stupid but but cool enough to run away once startled. Unlike wolves and Tigers.
His glowing beautiful Amber eyes pierced through mine, almost forming a glare like I had interrupted him. He begun to slowly approach me, but one thing I noticed.
A trail of blood followed him.

From his high cheekbones to his piercing gray eyes, he was unlike any sully-faced villager. Instead, he wore his beauty with a casual grace, as if he were clueless to the plumpness of his lips or the flat, smooth surface of his chest. "Am I a what?" The man cocked a thick, dark brow up. He pushed his right hand into the pocket of his trousers, but not before Marjorie caught a glimpse of the heavy jewels on his fingers. He drowned in an opulence few villagers could afford. "I take that as a no," she said. "What is your name, stranger?" He looked to her, and then his gaze traveled to where men and women continued to fling themselves around the heat of the bonfire. You don't belong here, she thought.Complete

With the monsters of Augustine divided on whether to protect him or destroy him, Haruki is thrown into a world of deadly exams, ancient bloodlines, and humans that look at him with awe, fear... or worse, worship.

And if the Council decides he's dangerous, no amount of wishes will save him. 🌸 A dark fantasy of broken monsters, soft boys who bite, ancient power, and found family that makes you cry into your pillow.

The Story of Midnight
"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?Complete
