Reili

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape.

There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss.

A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage.

But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

Author Notes: 
This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! 
If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

Abyssal Awakening

[I hope that you, my master, would survive this ordeal.]

Hearing this, Alice paused as a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"What about Velouria then? You miss her as well, don't you? Why are you taking my side?"

Without hesitation, Cayla leaned down and flicked Alice on the forehead.

[Mine master, did Allura hit you too hard in the head? The past is in the past. The Era of Ayr is over. Though I may long for those bygone days, I will not sacrifice the present for a distant memory. My old master would not wish for it to be so and neither would I.

[Over the course of many long years, I've watched humanity grow, recall and eventually forget. I've seen Kaden and Allura make new relationships, break off old ones and even do stupid things such as avoiding one another.

[But even so, they continue forward while holding the memory of Ayr close to their heart.] Cayla lectured while Alice held her forehead in pain.
