'I will find you in any lifetime.' –––– Her silvery moon-locks were in delicate braids to reveal her fresh, radiant face. Her bright icy blue eyes watched everyone and everything fondly, sinlessly.

She had fiery long hair that looked like the flames of hell and her eyes were like a ball of fire that could reduce one to ashes. She looked like an evil witch they heard of. How could it not create chaos in the nation? She became prey to the royals and their politics, the nobles, and their influence, and commoners and their protest with her life on the line. Will she challenge the centuries-old tradition and find her love? Or will she lose her life? –––– P.S: Slow Burn, Slow Romance. This is an original story. Thank you ^_^ for giving it a try.

I thought, my head spinning with thoughts of where I was, what these strange words in front of me were, and what I was going to do next. [This is the world of Aerth.

I thought, quickly realizing I was likely arguing with nothing but words.

Demon Lord? Is this some kind of swords and magic world? [In this world swords and magic are commonplace, yes.]
