The Queen’s Letter:

hey guys!! a short little update that serves as a prelude to the real plot. I will be following this up with a character introduction to our queen within the next couple of days.

I’m also working on a big explanation of the lore, kind of like a guideline through the story, so let me know if that’s something ya’ll would like to see!

Thanks for reading <33

I remember growing up in the walls of the palace. I grew a distaste for the cold stone and enchanting architecture as soon as I found out I could never leave. Yet, we always find our sanctuaries. The greenhouse was my favorite place. Full of lush greenery and exotic plants; in that room i felt the most free. My father always saw to it that the greenhouse stayed in good shape for me, properly gardened and refreshed with new plants and colors that brought life back to my soul. It was my father’s one last hope that someday our lands would flourish again, just like the greenhouse. The little that grew on the most fertile lands was barely enough to feed the people, and still they were hungry. It wasn’t always like this. The witches of the East told tales of our land many centuries ago; a flourishing paradise. But that time had long since passed and the little green left resided there, in my greenhouse. I wish I would’ve known then, in that vast garden, how hungry the people were.

My father was a good man, but he was a bad King. He was guarded and mostly stayed behind the high walls he built around him physically and mentally. With me, he was no different, in fact, worse. I loved my father, but he was no ruler.

I was only twenty when he died, and revealed the deepest secret in the realm….

I rush down the corridor, legs pumping and lungs burning. Why couldn’t they do something to save him? I was not ready to be a ruler. I was no queen. My feet pounded so hard against the ground the sound echoed off the palace walls. The doors flew open as I approached and the servants kept their gazes down. This really was bad then. I enter the room and there he is, laying in the bed as if caught in a daze, staring at the ceiling as if nothing was happening. How does one be aloof on your deathbed? I approach his side and grasp his hand in mine and that’s when he looks at me.

“Andy, you must listen to me, there is something you must know before you take the throne.” I grasp him tighter feeling the gravity of the moment and my eyes flood with tears.

“yes, father. tell me.” I keep my voice even.

“Do you remember all of those stories I told you as a child? The ones about the key?”

i feel my eyebrows knot in confusion.

“yes? why? what about them?” he pulled me in to whisper in my ear “they are real my darling. we are the bloodline. you must protect the key, that is your duty above all others.” I couldn’t speak a word. My father just told me that the legend is true. the gate. the key. the master. I couldn’t form any words as the tears finally slipped down my cheeks. “Rose, you must be strong. You are already better than I ever was.” his words keep my tears flowing, I always loved that name he called me, like I was a precious flower. He slips something between my fingers, something slender and cool like metal. the key. The next words he whispered so quietly that I had to strain myself to hear his raspy breath, “don’t trust them…..” he took one final harsh inhale, gasping as if he just realized something, and then my father died.

I had more questions than answers, but I felt even then the weight of my father’s final words. Little did I know, the troubling truth was vaster than even my father believed. There were plots, schemes, and ploys. Attempts for the throne and my life. All for one thing. The key cost me my life, but I will not let it cost my daughters too.

I am Andromeda Alaric, ruler of all men, and this is my last letter before my death. I write this in confidence for only the inner circle. You know who they are Theron, go and find them.

Do not let them hurt her. She is the key more than anything.

sneak peak

hey guys :))

no official big update yet, but here’s a little tease of an introduction. The next couple of posts are going to be explaining and expanding on some of the world building I’ve worked on; and then next week we’ll hopefully dive into some characters!!

•••

There was a time when the realm was quiet. No movement. No sound. Just stillness in the great black void. Then, from the void, there was Him. The only thing creation has known about Him is that he is the master; their creator. He demands nothing. He does nothing. Just silence.

Ever since He created the four races of the realm, He has hidden himself away. Legends have carried down through the centuries. Some claim to hear His voice through whispers on the wind. Myths have been told to children for generations of the great gate and key locking away the master. A key that can only be held by the true bloodline. A child’s tale. A fable. But, what if those myths were true. And what would that bloodline do if it was in danger?

hello my lovelies!!!

Alright, so this is something I have been planning for almost a year now. I have always loved fantasy novels and good storylines, and one of the ways I connect with GVF’s music is through the stories and images they are able to depict through music. I couldn’t help myself from creating a universe from it. They’ve said themselves it’s like LOTR! :)) With that being said, through this I am in no way claiming that this is the only message these songs give or that this comes even close, i’m only taking inspiration from these song lyrics and creating a real connected story from it. also, i don’t in any way claim this as original, these characters and storylines are heavily developed from what GVF has already written and inspired by their own personalities; full credit goes to their wonderful music :)

so, my idea is to start writing out some of it here, sharing concepts and ideas, possibly full chapters or in depth character analysis, because I’m still figuring out the story myself! I’m also looking for collaboration, because if this were to get bigger and become an actual full book on the forum, I would need some help lmao😭

Anyways, please feel welcome to leave any feedback/criticisms you may have because this is a work in progress and I want your input! i’ve enjoyed reading so many amazing stories through tumbler and other platforms like ao3, but I’m not as much of a super experienced writer myself. I’ve always enjoyed it, but I’ve never put my work on display like this before, so any help is appreciated!!

also, just tell me if the whole idea is dogshit, i won’t hold it against anyone😂

thanks for reading <3
