Ace thought she was a normal orphan, taking a much-needed break from her life. She just didn't expect to get kidnapped for an old family trinket...
-
Ace was never an easy girl to get along with; she was scathing, sarcastic, rough, and unlikely to censor her thoughts. It was part of the reason she was dumped into an orphanage at ten years old.
But then her grandfather's old heirloom starts to glow.
Ace is pulled into a war between good and evil while fighting her own destiny, a prophecy that promises immeasurable power...to whoever consummates a marriage with her. Locked away in Chase Young's palace against her will, Ace isn't sure who she wants to hurt more-the immortal holding her prisoner, or the annoying boy genius that refuses to leave...
Pairing: Chase Young/OC
Of all the elements, lightning is the most unpredictable.
It can shatter stone, make oceans boil, slice through the air, start fires with the barest of sparks…
But it can also dance through the clouds as delicately as a butterfly, melt sand into beautiful glass, bide it's time before flashing across the sky quicker than a heartbeat.
Lightning represents the raw potential of nature, the untamable force.
When the Xiaolin Dragons were established by Grand Master Dashi, he warned that, should the Xiaolin Dragon of Lightning ever appear, they would foreshadow a great battle for the existence of Earth.
Whoever could manage to win their heart would be gifted with the immeasurable power of lightning.
For centuries, both the Xiaolin and Heylin waited for the appearance of this destined Dragon of Lightning.
The only clue to the Dragon are the Swords of Lei Sheng, which would become active only when the Dragon was of the proper age to marry.
And so both good and evil bided their time, watching and waiting for the first hint of the Lightning Swords…
Dawn's sleepy light crawled over the stirring city, painting everything in gold while the darkness seeped out of the sky.
Watching the transformation from a high window ledge, a teenaged girl hung one of her legs out over the dizzying drop as she filled in a sketch with a set of worn-down colored pencils.
Once the sky was done to her satisfaction, she checked the alarm clock on a nearby desk for the time.
6:14 am blinked back at her, and she sighed tiredly.
'Another long night…'
Pulling out the handkerchief she had used to tie her hair up into a messy bun, she let the red curls fall free while pulling herself back into the small room.
Half-lidded lavender eyes surveyed the only home she had ever known, and she stood up slowly, running her fingers over an old set of chopsticks on her way to the bag packed near the door.
She didn't see the glow the chopsticks gave off for a moment at her touch, pulsing with new energy.
'Some birthday…'
In the Land of Nowhere, Chase Young sensed the activation of an unexpected artifact.
'The Swords of Lei Sheng…'
Turning away from his meditation, the everlord smirked.
'So it has finally begun.'
