Love is blind.

Ava-Marie

He took everything from me.

I've been left a shell, void of power, love, and everything that makes me who I am. All at the hands of the person I cherish the most. Others would crumble, but I will rise. I'll summon the darkness inside of me to rally my people and become an empress worth worshipping, bringing the magical world to its knees with nothing to wield but my determination, wit and will.

The chains have come off, and the pretty pigeon has been unleashed from her cage. There's no one here to stop me from becoming all I'm meant to be.

But what's been hidden will be revealed, and not even I'm prepared for what the gods have in store.

Charlie

The prophecy came true, and I made my choice. No prophet could’ve predicted what agony would come in the aftermath. My marriage has been completely devastated, and I’ve lost everything, but I must fight on.

We’re moments away from discovering the final Divinity Key, but it doesn’t matter because the Warden has already won. I’ve lived my entire life on the dark side, but if I’m going to gain back the trust of my friends and restore what’s broken, I’ll need to abandon who I once was and step into the light. The villain must become the hero.

I have to put my blind faith in Ava and trust that she will lead us into a future that will alter the fate of all. No matter what happens, I will follow her into war and death… even if it means our complete destruction.
