Heirs of Darkness - WIP Intro
“A child of tragedy, fleeing a rumoured curse and her own memories. Mel’s future was to be made of stolen gold, but a chance encounter in the darkest of times spiralled her life onto a far more treacherous path. Her fate was to be one of magic and shadows, entwined eternally with one that embodied both. Yet one cannot outrun their past forever, and as an ancient prophecy grips Mel she finds herself pulled between two sides with the fate of Aia hanging in the balance.”

Info:
Growing up in the gated city of Harburg, Mel started in a life of freedom and love in a family that cherished one another. None would have thought that all it would take to unravel this would be a single touch to cold stone, an action that unleashed the deepest heartache upon her world. Left in a place that offered no help she is forced to fend for herself, alone and without answers.
Fate, however, was not done with her, and in a chance encounter her bleak world was upended once more. Bound to the darkness itself, she is torn between the mortal world and a universe far more complex.
Love and hate.
Darkness and light.
Life and death.
One choice that will change the course of her life and Aia forever.
(Heirs of Darkness is a dark AU version of the AV3 storyline. Mel was the perfect anti-hero, her story clean cut even despite her family lineage. But, what if her world had been far more complex? A path that walks the balance between dark and light, an influence on her life that reaches deeper than the origins we saw in canon. This is what Heirs of Darkness explores, an alternate world where her life is far closer to that of the Lord of Twilight and decisions aren’t so easy.)
