By the Ancients- The Creation of A Champion
Seven sisters tore through the cosmic void, their power shattering the darkness as they carved realms from nothingness with bleeding hands. Elphame rose under their command, not merely a paradise, but a testament to their might, where Fae danced with both terrible beauty and lethal strength. But the sisters' creation birthed something unforeseen: an Eighth, a brother formed from the void's darkest remnants, who watched with hatred burning cold as ice as his sisters' glory eclipsed his existence.
The Ancients' oath, sworn in blood and starlight, chained them from destroying one another, a sacred vow that now protected their abomination of a brother like impenetrable armor.
Desperate, they forged their weapon: Champions born of the Sindarin bloodline, vessels of divine fury. Each Champion was unsuccessful, souls shattered, leaving the Ancients to endure centuries of failure, waiting for the next sacrifice.
Shadows crept across the once-radiant Realm, bringing death and malice in their wake. The Ancients, witnessing their creation's corruption, contemplated destruction and rebirth. But first, they would summon the Champion home. Into this Fae daughter, they would pour their ancient magic, power enough to vanquish the being known only as the Eighth. Such power would shatter any single vessel, so each Ancient selected a perfect counterbalance for the Champion's soul. Seven guardians. Seven anchors. Seven mates.
Now Princess Leora Sindarin carries their final, terrible hope, a female whose raw power makes immortal Fae tremble. Exiled by her own aunt, the Queen, to walk among fragile humans who cannot comprehend what walks in their midst.
The summons will come. One day. The Champion will return. And Leo, she waits.

Chapter: Chapter 7 Stirling The passengers began to stand to file out of the dusty tour bus, the air filled with anticipation and the sound of rustling clothing against seats. I felt a small shove, and Leo was making her way by me. She was among the first to step onto the ground, her feet crunching the gravel beneath. She made her way to Tom, the tour guide, whose warm smile greeted her as they exchanged a few words. I saw her hand him a wad of cash and a small brown bag. Although their conversation was a silent mystery to me, Tom's nod of understanding was unmistakable. With a practiced ease, Leo slung her weathered backpack over her shoulder, its straps worn from countless adventures. Her eyes were fixed on the silhouette of the castle in the distance, each step purposeful as if she were retracing a familiar path. She didn’t even look back at the bus. Leo charged forward up the hill. Yaris and I exchanged a quick look before we rushed to follow her. Leo moved swiftly despite her size, disappearing fro

Chapter: Chapter 6 The Giant I managed to ditch the charming one, and now I feel a little less stressed. Glancing back, I saw he was now encircled by all the females. They were whispering, with a few soft giggles reaching my ears. As long as he stays out of my way and keeps those ladies busy, I'm good. But, for some odd reason, my chest felt empty, almost aching. It made no sense so I decided to continue with my work. As soon as I turned back around, the giant began to move to the seat beside me. Oh, great! He remained silent, simply sitting there. I glared at him, struggling to maintain my angry expression because he was as attractive as Yaris. He glanced at me and smirked, aware of my irritation and finding amusement in it. "Relax. I'm not even close to being as annoying as Yaris." “Yet, somehow I find that untrue.” Back to the journal I go. “What are you writing?” I let out a deep breath. "It’s for my job. I have a few projects coming up. I'm just jotting down some notes.” "And what do y

Chapter: Chapter 5 The Princess- LeoraI couldn’t look away from the petite female beside me. She exuded an undeniable authority, as if an invisible force field surrounded her, naturally keeping others at a respectful distance. She was completely engrossed in her journal, her pen moving swiftly and decisively across the pages, without once glancing in my direction.To catch her attention, I flashed my most charming and confident smile, the kind that usually captivated others with ease. However, she seemed immune to mere physical charm, her focus unbroken and her demeanor unaffected by my efforts, aside from her quickened heartbeat.Behind us, a group of Human females began to raise their voices, becoming more noticeable with their boisterous behavior, clearly seeking attention. Although they were all quite attractive, my focus remained on the female beside me.Leo’s copper hair was intricately styled into braids, elegantly pulled back from her face, though a few rebellious strands had escaped to frame it. Her hair appeared

Chapter: Chapter 4 The Journey- Leora As the plane touched down in Edinburgh , I realized that hiring a driver or renting a car was simply not an option, too easy to be followed. The airport lobby buzzed with activity, and my eyes were drawn to a colorful array of bus tour pamphlets displayed on a rack. I grabbed a handful, and flipped through them with purpose. My heart was set on a particular destination, and I scanned the pages for any mention of the Trossachs National Park. Only a select few tours highlighted this locale as a stopping point.I just had to reach Fairyknowe. This would make it seem like I was just another tourist on a bus tour. It would take a bit more time than I’d prefer, but what other choice do I have if I want to remain unnoticed?It was now noon, and the sun hung lazily in the sky, casting warm rays over the bustling city. The bus tour was scheduled to depart at two from the historic Edinburgh Castle terrace car park, where cobblestones glistened under the afternoon light. The journey would first

Chapter: Chapter 3 The Ruse- LeoraMy phone screen flashes. “Hey Becca.”“Is that all I get? Come on, show some life!” Her voice rises and falls like she’s riding a rollercoaster, each word climbing higher than the last. “The publishers went absolutely wild over those final chapters. They’re drawing up contracts for a whole series.”“Gods. I’m speechless.”“Just say yes. That’s literally all you need to say right now.”“Of course. Yes. But I need to ask you something.”“Shoot,” Becca said, practically singing the word.“I need to get away. Somewhere quiet to focus on the new series. Research, inspiration, you know.” The phone went quiet. I counted one, two, three heartbeats.“What location did you have in mind?” The sparkle had vanished from her voice, replaced by something flat and professional.“Well, my top three are France, Scotland, or Peru. I haven’t decided yet.” I traced my finger along the rim of my porcelain teacup, watching the steam curl upward like ghostly fingers.“Here’s an idea: I’ll arrange a ticket fo

Chapter: Chapter 2 You Look Awful- LeoraTwenty years have come and gone since I first made my home in a city called Atlanta in the Human Realm, and it has become more than just my home, it's my sanctuary. This city, with its vibrant music scene, warm-hearted people, and mouth-watering food, has shaped me. In more ways than one. I got the ass to prove it. Everything here is diverse and busy, just the way I like it. I left the tranquility of the farm when I was twenty, eager to carve out a piece of the world that was mine alone. I found this snug loft apartment and have made it my haven ever since. The wooden floors creak with history, and the old brick walls seem to whisper stories of the past. There's a cozy sitting area where I often curl up with a book and a corner that I've dedicated as my office. I don't need much, I'm a creature of simple habits, and I don't entertain visitors. Now and then, Lucinda or Lane might swing by if they're in the neighborhood, but these visits are rare. After getting back into town today,
