On Diamant's 14th birthday, the strangest thing happened. A witch had almost killed her while warning her to stay away from the past. Diamant and her grandpa were people who lived on a survival skill of running and hiding from an unknown that relentlessly chased after them and threatened their lives. 

One night, this skill of Run and Hide met its end at the hands of a war brought upon their village by the mighty King of Alusa, the Dragon Lord. Having lost everything in the war, Diamant is driven by rage and grieve to seek revenge against the King. This is no easy task as she will get entangled in lies, conspiracy, betrayal, love, war and magic. In all these, she discovers there are important questions about her life that only the past has answers to.

Will she delve into the past to seek these answers which may cost her everything including her life? Or will she face the present, forgo knowing these answers and live the life she is struggling to build for herself?

Diamant

She bit her lips in guilt before closing her eyes briefly and nodding her head. 


"I overdid it, I am sorry. Yet you can't totally blame me, you betrayed him, Lewis. He was going to change!" Her shoulders grew tense as she defended herself. 


"I did it for us, I did it so that we can be together, Clara! What part of that do you not understand?!" His eyes misted with tears. "And everyday I regretted it, you pushed me away for something that I selflessly did. Didn't you ever think that it was painful for me to betray Goben? Still, I did it! I did it for us, for you!" 


Her resistance finally broke and tears streamed down her face. 


"But you broke us. Because of him? Because of a man that would throw you into the dungeon without thinking twice, a man that gave you hell. Yet I am the bad one merely because he was 'changing'." 


"Changing...?" He laughed humourlessly.
