Of Gods and Demons

~I Have a Confession~

~Introduction~

Drop a single droplet of black ink on it, and even the whitest feather will forever lose its sacred purity.

That was a bitter lesson he learned the hard way.

Feared, despised, and exiled, a young God meandered throughout the Three Worlds in dreary isolation and forsaken shadows. With a bleeding heart that had long been swallowed by darkness and murderous fury, he desired nothing more than to destroy all that had wronged him.

All his life, he had unwaveringly pursued revenge. At least until he met her.

Stunned, he stared at the girl.

Another tear carved down her burning cheeks and her lips quivered into a soft, pained smile. "At the very least... you have me, Jawred."

Hey, everyone. Welcome to the novel version of A Holy War.

As most of you may know, I first wrote A Holy War in the spring of 2012 and finally got the guts to upload it in the summer of 2012. I took the story down twice because I am a perfectionist, and tiny details always bug me in impossible ways. But therein lies the problem: that was before I learned the proper meaning of grammar.

Now, with nearly 50 chapters, 170,000 words, and so much love from you guys, AHW is not going anywhere, even if it is riddled with spelling, structure, and grammatical errors. I promise I will finish A Holy War even if it takes the rest of my life. But I also want to revamp it, add in extra scenes, and promote backstories so the characters feel more real. That's where this story will come in.

I am converting A Holy War to a novel of its own independence. So to avoid copyright issues:

I changed the character names.

I cropped out some details.

I revised the backstories.

I added extra scenes.

But you will still know what characters you are reading. The personalities are recognizable, or so I hope.

Because this story is more of an original work than a FanFiction. But as you all may be aware of, this story was born from a Fanfiction. What else can I say? My characters might as well have been babies that matured from those lovely but copyrighted folks Hiro Mashima drew. All the characters were molded from their Fairy Tail counterparts. And now, I am just fleshing out the story in a more thorough way. Anyway, please tell me if you like it.
