Prologue: a letter from a weary stranger

Dear Reader, If you thought stumbling across this story means you'll get a happy ending, and it'll be fun, and adventurous with nothing bad happening at all, think again! This is a tale of one brave human being known as the saviour of Magicia who stumbled upon a world with some similarities to earth. It's not without its pitfalls, however, that this planet is prophesied to be no more, and the saviour is at the forefront of this. Connected through time and space by a thinly veiled thread of magic and mystery to earth, this planet is meant as an escape. But, when an escape is no longer just that, but now only filled with pain and heartache, and misery, what should you do to rectify that? A wrong was committed years ago by the saviour and their friend, so out of guilt or maybe self preservation to be exact possibly the saviour tries to undo those mistakes from when they were a child in the hopes that they can go back to their life on earth free of guilt and regret having saved the plan

Chapter 1 part 1: Introducing Shadow

If Shadow woke up early enough this morning, if he chose to not press the snooze button on his alarm, maybe his dad would have given him a lift in, or maybe that's just wishful thinking on his part.

His dad likes him though, in fact he's happy he hangs out with him, because his dad is loaded, which of course means more to Shadow's dad than anything else, because he's running for re-election soon in the summer to be the Mayor for another 2 years, and his standing isn't good with some of the town as it is. He gets to the school quicker than he would have liked, waltzing through the school gates, he feels the foreboding presence of evil already, or possibly that's just him

Chapter 1 part 2 Introducing Shadow and John

Sitting here watching the teacher trying to control a griffin that was anything but tame, he found himself wondering how he could possibly avoid him as much as possible, and how he was going to spend his time during the autumn half term. The classroom becomes chaotic within minutes as the griffin grows out of control, I pay it barely any mind, numb to my surroundings, dissociating from reality temporarily. I was lost in thought for a bit until I noticed a glimpse of something, Charles Delaney racing across the quad and another boy following him, Tremity Zane himself. My mind twists, my blood boils at the sight, that should be me in Charlie's arms, that should be me kissing him, not Tremity, no, never him! What does he have that I don't? But…then again what does it matter? He'll never be mine so long as my life is the way it is. I should just focus on escaping from this life and my studies, that's it, that's all, no more. I can date when it's safe to do so, in the meantime I'm just g
