Foreword
DISCLAIMER - I do not own the Vampire academy series or any of the characters associated with them. Those are owned by Richelle Mead.
First off, this is my first fanfic, or first real writing I guess, aside from school stuff. I am a very big fan of Richelle Mead's VA series, and a lot of the fanfiction for it on the site. So let me say I am happy to contribute.
Second, I feel that more often than not, stories are always required by some arbitrary rule to have a stereotypical "Happy" ending, where life is great and every reader can leave the books with some sense of joy. I, however, really wish someone would write just one story where the ending isn't so "happy". Where in the core of it all, evil has it's way and peace and love are metaphorically slaughtered by it. I am sorry if no one around here agrees with me on this concept, but I will feel the VA series is a great one to write a story based on this premise.
Furthermore, I have always thought that it would be cool if the Moroi/Dhampirs and Strigoi had armies, and got into a war with each other. I really like the idea of the Moroi losing a sort of one sided war becasue of them hanging on to their outdated traditions.
Finally, there may be some things about the story that you may not like, but I cannot really change these, as I don't like changing my story for the sake of pleasing others. I am sorry for any grammar errors, as I am not the best writer ever. But I will do my best, and I hope everyone likes my story!
P.S. - I write most of my chapters quickly, so updates will come as soon as the consensus says my last chapter was good! This way, I know if there is anything to fix in the previous chapter first, grammar wise, and because if no one likes this, I may stop writing it.
