Changing the Stars

by Reasonable

Isabel was never giving the anti-aging gift. Now, aged 22, she needs help, an escape, from her troubled life. It seems all who have been there for her have left. Except for the one person she secretly fell in love with all those years ago.

1. Prologue

Prologue:

Lost

Arkarian

It was obvious, from the beginning, that we were not meant to be.

And yet...I loved her in every way possible.

I thought, every now and then, she might like me back.

But I couldn't act on how we felt.

It was wrong.

Time passed.

Marduke returned; we killed him again.

I learned of my true parentage.

Matthew became a leader.

The Named became reality.

And we won.

But now, as I dream.

I can't help but feel as though I lost.

For I lost her,

and that's all that ever mattered to me.

OKay, so plot summary: No Arkarian kid-napping, no reward for Isabel. Isabel ages, Arkarian doesn't. The Battle is over. Rochelle still died, etc., etc.. Now, at age twenty-two, Isabel needs help. It seems like her whole life is crashing down on her. And who exactly does she turn to? Arkarian, of course.

That's all I'm telling for now. I just don't want to give away too much of the story in the summary.
