"Tell me something, Maja," he began. He stared into her, his gaze sharp and piercing her soul, as if striking it could coax out the secrets it hid behind walls of steel and adamant. "Do you enjoy killing?"
  
  She straightened, staring back at him with a gaze as deadly as a blade. "What if I told you that I did?"
  
  ~~~~
  
  An assassin should have no loyalties to no one but herself, she thought different, and that was her gravest mistake. Maja is a descendant of a once-great empire built by Therian's - shape-shifting beasts now reduced to simpering slaves. An escapee of that fate as a child, she now earns her keep as one of Solaria's deadliest assassins. And as a result, her life revolves around death and the bounties on her head.
  
  Sold by an unexpected dealer to a general, there is no escaping punishment for her innumerable crimes. Unless she can wager a deal. Use her skills to become the bodyguard for the most dangerous family in Solaria that could have her killed with a single word.
  
  In a land where secrets hide and lies make themselves known, Maja will find herself caught in a web spun from decades of deceit and broken trust. And she must soon realize who the real beast is, before they decide that it's her.

~How deep can the darkness take you... before you lose your soul?~ "Tell me," she said, because the emptiness inside was yawning, stretching, consuming and she suddenly needed something, someone, needed to feel anything other than empty. She hated being empty. And she didn't want him to be empty either. She remembered that. It was like a film had been lifted from her eyes and as she looked down at him, she understood something. With other people, she didn't have to be human. Even with Thorn, he simply knew her. Andreas made her feel human. She didn't know how to be human, didn't know what it involved or what she should do. Humans were fragile, humans could be broken, and Sin was already broken enough. But she wasn't as broken as him. And maybe it was that fact that had her reaching for him, turning so she was laying on the bed beside him, stretching so she could wrap her arms around him and hold him close to her. Maybe it was that knowledge that made her want to protect him from the world. Because she'd thought the gods cruel only to her. She'd been wrong. So she closed her eyes and breathed him in, then breathed out, releasing everything inside her until she was simply... Sin. And she whispered into his hair, softly, five more impossible words. "I can hear you screaming." Dropped into an unknown, dangerous world and thrown together by chance, two people are now in a race for survival. One, a dark sorcerer with a haunted past and a deadly reputation, and the other, a cursed assassin with a chaotic soul. Both are powerful, domineering, and arrogant. Neither are team players. And yet, they'll have to work together if they want to get out alive... that is, if they manage not to kill each other first. (A collaboration/co-write by @Michillie and @Literacy101)

10 parts Ongoing Mature
A white-cloaked figure stands on the balcony of a tower, their face hidden in the shadows of a hood. They peer over the banister, seeing hundreds, if not thousands, of Elves standing below them, screaming and shouting. All of them eagerly waiting. The hood falls back, revealing pointed ears, long silver hair, and glowing purple eyes. Her words, yet spoken at a normal volume, somehow travel easily through the crowd below her. "Greetings, people of Kamthas. I come before you today as a new Apprentice of the High Oracles. Today, I shall speak my First Prophecy." The screams below immediately fall silent, a hush falling over the large crowd that ripples like a wave. Her arms shake as she raises them to the sky, tilting her head back as the morning sun bathes her in its golden light. A soft glow seems to emanate from her and her purple eyes glaze over, her voice becoming deeper and fuller, spilling from her uncontrollably. "The rabbit will save us from the snake." ⋆˙⟡ ⟡˙⋆ Lyrael is a human, through and through. There is no denying a fact. However, there's something that has always bothered her when she looks in a mirror. She looks wrong. Her tangled black hair looks wrong, her sharp blue eyes look wrong, and most of all, her warm, never-changing tan skin just looks... wrong. Her life is completely upended one fateful spring day when her father mysteriously disappears. His trail leads directly over the Border, the very Border her father forbade her from ever crossing, the one that separated Elves from the humans. And according to everything she's ever been taught, Elves are barbaric, vicious creatures who attack humans unprovoked, for no reason other than simple enjoyment. Despite all of that, there are two things she knows to be true. 1. She must save him. and 2... She is definitely just a human. This story is about friendship, magic, loyalty, and, most importantly, finding out who the hell Lyrael Waestris truly is.

Since she could remember, she never believed her parents were really dead, and has been searching for them ever since she became part of the mercenary group.

When Lotus, the Captains right hand man, was retiring, the Captain wanted to replace him with her. Lotus felt a woman was unfit to fill such a responsible position, and took his rage out on them, killing the Captain after a days battle. He banishes Erin, sending troops after her, for her head.
