Hello people! So this is a new (and hopefully e-pic XD) story that my fanfic friend, the amazing Oky Verlo (whose other stories you should totally check!) and Yours Truly, are co-writing!
Genres: Romance, Friendship, Fantasy, Drama, Action, Supernatural…etc XP
Disclaimer: we own nothing but the plot!
Enjoy~
Prologue-
There are places in this world where one should pray to never end up. Places that are so horrible, they seem more like a myth than reality. Places where men are treated like dogs, women like dirt, and children as in consequential. Places where it is so dark, so cold, and so lonely that even though you are surrounded, death becomes an elusive wish rather than a frightening
promise.
There are names for these places, but no one wishes to utter them, for fear. Simple fear that the powers that may be, the powers running these places, would hear you, and ship you off with the next batch of 'unfortunate missing'; the people with no-one to miss them, and the people sold off for gain or amusement. The worst of these, the most terrifying of these places, is the Arena. One of the oldest, most decrepit structures, which everyone can see, but no one notices. People live right next to it, its doors across the street. They can hear the screams, the cries; they can hear the children wailing, the women crying, the men dying, and the cold, cruel laughter of the ones who watch. Sometimes, they are the ones who watch.
They are not the ones suffering from abuse, be it in the Ring by the hand of a person desperate to survive, or by the hand of wardens punishing those who pose a risk to the entertaining factor of the bloody battles, striking the 'prisoners' with coils of magic force. They are not in danger, so why not enjoy the show?
Everyone lucky enough, smart enough, or rich enough to not be thrown into the chains of pointless struggles, leads a 'normal' life; They get up everyday, they talk to people, the adults go to work, and the children make their way to school. Adults work to use the powers their years in school uncovered, and the children try their best to unlock their own to impress their family. But all of them hope to never uncover the ability to combine all three spectrums of magic.
Light- used for healing, growth, beauty and fortune telling.
Dark- used for building, divining, and destruction.
Neutral, more often known as Soul magic- used for control, comfort and harmony.
Often, a person who has the misfortune of possessing two spectrums is collected and placed behind the walls of the Arena and its sister strongholds never to see the sky or the sun again.
And they never will, for no one who enters the Arena a Gladiator will exit as anything other than a corpse. Once you are in, there is only one way out. That is the way it has always been.
Until one blessed with the perfect balance between all three spectrums ran away.
Sooo, who could this 'someone' possibly be, hmm...==pp
Now guys, the two of us would LOVE to hear if the Prologue got your interest and you want us to continue the story! So review! XD if enough people will review and say they liked- next chapter is almost done!
