RoseOfBlues

All Celestine ever wanted was to be someone powerful so that she won't be looked down upon. That was what she wished on a blissful night. And that very wish made her life go downhill years later ever since she came across a sacred pendant.

When an invitation lands on her lap to the most prestigious university of Adrian, nothing could stop her from going there. That is until her life gets entwined with two men, the cruellest foes of each other which she wishes to escape from. But the universe paints a different picture.

On a dreary day, she falls to her near-death and finds herself in the ancient land of Vitalis. With an unintentionally committed crime to her name, she must face the justice of the place where mercy is invaluable and death is inevitable and of little value.

And so her trial begins at the mercy of the tainted hands of the Masked Tyrant.
Alastair Arden Waldorf. Ruthless, cold-blooded and faceless.

When things turn for the worse, will she be able to return to her land and not be involved in a terrifying history? Will she save, kill or escape from the tyrant to the other two men when he shall come for her? Shall love prevail between the two or will they stick to their time to avoid an inevitable curse?

Caught Between Two Worlds

"It was said that the king could only harness his powers if they found a mermaid, as per the clergy," he said, turning his broad, sturdy back towards me. His front facing the window reflected his image and the mask, which hid his emotions too well for me to see. "And they are very difficult to find, being a rare species on land. Don't you think?"

"Yes, milord," I said, withholding my breath as my heart picked its pace at something that I didn't know yet. "I have never met one myself, and have believed them to be mythical."

"But recently, he said he has noticed in him stamina so strong that none has ever come to possess. There is a continuous strain from holding in this power as he keeps on liberating it. What do you think could be this reason?"

"Could it be that the person is in the castle or in near proximity, milord?"

"And who do you think that is?" he said, as he turned around to face me. His eyes shimmered a colour a normal human could never have.

"I can't say much, sire. I only think that there must be more information on how one can get these powers. Besides, what would we get by tormenting a mermaid when His Highness already has the destined powers? There is already enough bloodshed."

He smiled slyly at my answer and walked towards me. When he came to close in my comfort zone, I stepped back as he strode forward. In a trice, I was backed against the wall with him stealing in my breathing space. He reached for my jaw and stroked it with his fingers.

With his head leaned near my ear, he whispered, "Then how about we start with torturing you for keeping your true self a secret, my lying darling?"

• To separate the time frame or show that a good amount of time had passed in a chapter, I use "~" to represent it. In simple words, it is used to indicate a sudden scene change (as in the case of an appearance of a dream which I, sometimes, specify it indirectly).

• Feel free to put in your suggestions, ideas, thoughts and polite criticisms in the comments. I would get back to them shortly.
