With the newest tribute, however, sails Theseus, prince of Athens, who has been promised the hand of the beautiful Princess Ariadne, and he doesn’t intend to die quietly. With the help... more>> of Ariadne, he prepares to face the Minotaur, but no one can predict the rift the Minotaur’s death will leave behind or the world on the other side.

No sense in lingering on an emotional connection with any witch deemed fit for the deplorable role, when one has a serpent's fangs buried deep in their skin, releasing venom at an alarming rate...

Finding herself drawn to him despite his inhospitable charm, Madeleine shall ultimately become the grand architect of her own personal prison.

After all, if they’re lucky enough, they might even be chosen as a werewolf’s fated mate on their twenty-fifth year.... more>>

Ranna, a storyteller from District Eleven, has no such grand aspirations. More interested in music and stories than politics, she does her civic duty of reporting to the Capital with her peers on her twenty-fifth year.

They say that one's karma is determined by one's actions.
One's destiny forged through blood, sweat and tears.
And one's fate, already predetermined. An inevitability.... more>>

But, what of karma and destiny ? Do those not matter at all at the table in front of fate ?
Every living human and creature is fated to die one day. Then, do your evils committed not matter at all ?
Going through gates of heaven, depths of hell, or the fields of Avalon. Is it your choice ?

"Such a contradictory belief." he thought often, despite not being religious.

So... was it his fate to be robbed of his life, work, and family ? His relationship wasn't the best with his family, but he did his best to slowly fill in the cracks he had made.
But that didn't matter anymore. His chances were taken.

By what ? Why ? How ?

"I... I didn't ask for any of this." he lamented, pressure in his throat welling up.

Was it his fate to die meaninglessly and wake up in this foreign, powerless body ? This body, this beauty, this world. It felt so wrong.

How was he to live ? Could he even accept this ? Will he... accept this and move on ?

Wide range of different characters.

First person point of view.

Scaterbrained MC.

Fancy fighting scenes every five or ten chapters.

Extensive Magic science beyond what is necessary.

Author note: I started to write the story as an experiment to test two things. Writing from the first point of view and writing from the perspective of a woman. In the end, I got carried away because it was so much fun to write and i thought that maybe someone might have just as much fun reading the story, so i decided to upload it.

The story itself is heavily influenced by British folklore like King Arthur, Harry Potter, Roman History, Church History, the neverending story, and a few others but as far as I'm aware there should be no copyright or trademark issues. Still, most might see some parallels because when I started to write the story it was meant to be an exercise. Still, the story plays in a completely independent universe and is not related to any existing story. <<less
