Charlie Swan

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

Jeanne tenía solo 18 años cuando su madrastra y su hermanastra la incriminaron y le hicieron perderlo todo. Su padre la echó de la casa por intentar resistirse. 7 años después, Jeanne regresó para vengarse con un misterioso hijo a su lado: Jorge. La gente se burlaba de ella por ser madre soltera y llamaba a su hijo niño sin padre. —¿A quién llamas niño sin padre? No te gustaría verme enfadado —amenazó Jorge. —¡Cálmate, Jorge! ¡No arruines la diversión! No he tenido suficiente —dijo Jeanne—, ya que quería disfrutar de su venganza, dejando al niño sin palabras. Más tarde, Jeanne conoció al infame Cuarto Maestro Swan en un baile benéfico. El hombre de guapo aspecto y temperamento frío la llamó a un rincón y le dijo: —Me gustas. Todos quedaron sorprendidos, incluida Jeanne. —Soy madre soltera y tengo un hijo. ¿Estás seguro de que te gusto? —dijo ella. —En realidad… ¡me gusta tu hijo! Todos los demás se sorprendieron cuando el Cuarto Maestro Swan se casó con Jeanne, pero solo su astuto yo sabía que había conseguido no uno, sino dos jugadores importantes en este juego de ajedrez que estaba jugando.

Jeanne tinha apenas 18 anos quando sua madrasta e meia-irmã a incriminaram e fizeram com que ela perdesse tudo.

As pessoas zombavam dela por ser mãe solteira e chamavam o filho dela de criança sem pai. “Quem você está chamando de criança sem pai? Você não vai gostar de me ver bravo,” ameaçou George. “Abaixe o facho, George! Não estrague a diversão! Eu ainda não me diverti o suficiente,” disse Jeanne, querendo aproveitar sua vingança, deixando o menino sem palavras. Jeanne conheceu mais tarde o famoso Quarto Mestre Swan em um baile de caridade. O homem de boa aparência e temperamento frio a chamou para um canto e disse: “Eu gosto de você.” Todos ficaram chocados, inclusive Jeanne. “Eu sou mãe solteira e tenho um filho. Tem certeza de que gosta de mim?” ela disse. “Eu na verdade... gosto do seu filho!” Todos ficaram chocados quando o Quarto Mestre Swan casou-se com Jeanne, mas apenas ele, astuto, sabia que havia conseguido não apenas um, mas dois, importantes jogadores para esse jogo de xadrez que ele estava jogando.

The kingdom of Ezra is supernatural, far from the belief of the ordinary eyes, and mainly populated by werewolves, elves, and vampires but dominated by werewolves; the kingdom is ruled by a purebred werewolf family. But now the throne is being threatened because of the sudden deaths of half-bred wolves who made up the majority of the army that protects the royal family and defends the kingdom from any form of external attack. They are getting stuck in their wolf form and are not able to turn human, and to make matters worse, after a time of being stuck in this form, they start to rot from the inside. This caused a lot of conflict in the kingdom with the other two majority creatures plotting to overthrow the ruling werewolf clan and come to power until a prophecy was made. There is a remedy to the unprecedented malady; the only person who can reverse the curse and save the lives of these half-bred werewolves is “Olywn Fairey,” the forgotten daughter of the deceased sage of the highest order, a woman who was executed due to the forbidden love between her and the Elvin king.

From the fiery strength of Solar Titans to the mind-bending abilities of Cerebrants, every individual is born with an Aspect—a manifestation of their core essence.
