Dreaming Among Shadows

“I will burn the world for him.” I promise to myself, the people, and the gods I know are watching.

-Celosia

As Celosia approaches the pinnacle of a One-hundred-and-seventy-eight-year-old prophecy to bring magic back to her lands, dreams filled with a shadow-swarmed stranger become her nightly ritual.

The more they meet, the less it feels like a coincidence.

As the pull to the dreams, to him, increases so does the immense power within Celosia. A power from long ago, and one he needs to destroy to remain in control of his own.

Will Zen find her? Will he persuade her to stray from the God’s destiny written within her soul, or sacrifice himself in hopes of keeping what she loves from harm's way? What will Zen choose, her or his kingdom?

“I’ve turned you into such a murderous little thing, haven’t I?”

-Zen
