INVINCIBILITY'S PRICE
PROLOGUE: THE PRICE TO SACRIFICE
How much would you pay for invincibility? Millions? Billions? How much would you pay to be the most powerful person in the world, to be able to take over and rule it? How much would you give, sacrifice, for the sheer promise of power?
But of course, not everyone has so much money to spare, and not everyone has the means to earn it. But would you try? Would you starve yourself to save, work after hours everyday? Ignore that nagging voice for you to eat, to rest? Not give in to temptation at all? Become a workaholic? Become obsessed? For the world knows that there are people who have taken that path and turned a blind eye to the stupidity of the plan.
But what if it wasn't money you had to sacrifice?
Lives. Secrets. Love. Family. Friends. Trust.
Would you kill people in your way, end the lives of innocent people, to reach your goal? Would you betray your family, your friends, and the trust between you? Would you betray the person you love, or reveal secrets sworn to be never revealed to turn the people you love against each other?
How far would you go?
How far would you go to reach invincibility?
How many secrets?
How many betrayals?
How many broken vows?
How many lives?
Would you risk it all?
That's the question to ask yourself before you go seeking for invincibility. People don't see the dark side to the power; they see only the things they could achieve with the power. Their greed stops them from thinking. Their hunger stops them from seeing.
Would you risk it all? Invincibility demands a very high price, and you might be in too deep before you consider what you're losing, what you're doing... And by then, you'll have nothing left.
Would you risk it all?
WOULD YOU RISK IT ALL, DEAR READER? WOULD YOU? (Sorry, I had to. Well I didn't really, but I had an irrational need to and that's pretty much the same thing. Yep.)
Did you like my title? IT RHYMED. Because I'm just cool like that.
Is this what I think it is, Snow? Is it really a multi-chapter, doomed from the start? You know how your other multi-chapter fics went... You should know better than this.
I know, I know. I'm a complete fail at every type of commitment. BUT. I am trying. Some of you may remember I had a fic up called 'Misguided Impressions', I also had one up before called 'The Headmistress'. This fic is both of them… combined. *dramatic stuff happening here*
Yep. So yeah. Review and stuff. Please. I beg you. (Even though my AN made up like half the word count. I promise updates!)
