Once upon a time there was a girl from nowhere, a boy with deep brown skin and kind eyes, and another boy, with orange-red hair as vibrant as the flames he would become so well known for.
Once upon a time, the girl from nowhere fell in love with those boys. Once upon a time, they loved her too, and each other.
But they did not know then that their story was never meant to be a love story. There was never going to be a happy ending.
Once upon a time, a powerful mage promised three children the world. And then he turned them into monsters. And by the time they finally understood, it was too late.
Monsters do not get happily-ever-afters after all. But sometimes, if they are very patient, they can get revenge.
[Or: Astrid sees Owelia’s note appear and has to decide if and how she can protect one love of her life without sacrificing another]
