I slowly, very, very quietly walked through the dark, unfamiliar forest I have decided to cross. This was a shortcut to the pack house from my house and I know my mother and stepfather would never think of looking for me hear. This was Dark Midnight pack's land. From a bird's eye view, my pack, the Dark Moon Pack land was shaped like a bean but the little curve of the bean was part of the Dark Midnight pack which now, I have to cross to get to my pack house. Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!... I feel my heart beating painfully fast. I was so scared of being caught by the alpha's guards if they ever caught a whiff of my scent. I wanted to reach out to my weak little wolf to have company while I crossed this particular portion of the Dark Midnight Pack's land but decided against it for fear the pack warriors might scent my wolf out. Not so far away, I can see the bright lights where I knew the house of the alpha was located. It was Damon's birthday party. The soon-to-be alpha of the pack and the biggest bully of the school I attended. "Almost halfway now." I said to myself as I caught a whiff of my pack's scent even though my pack's land was much too far away yet. Fixing my backpack which started to fall from my shoulders, I continued walking straight to where I knew my packs' land border was located but then my foot unintentionally stopped moving, seeming to have been rooted to the soft ground as panic and excitement start to swirl in my heart, as I smell the most amazing smell of pine and ocean breeze combined. "Mate." I realize my mate is presently at the alpha house where the soon-to-be alpha is celebrating his birthday. Thankful that I was gifted the sense of smell ten times stronger than any wolf that I could smell a certain scent even from miles away, I resolutely walk faster, determined to reach the border before my scents me out. My weak little wolf traitorously decides to accompany me on my little run from my house, across my nemesis' land, to my pack's pack house which lightly irritates me, as I know this could send my weak scent to my mate with a little wind movement. I was almost at least a few steps to the border when I realize that the beautiful scent of pine and ocean breeze is getting stronger. My mate must have scented me out and has moved from the house, looking for me. Goddess knows what would happen to me if I ever get caught by this pack's territory by any pack member, warrior, or by my nightmare, the soon-to-be-alpha himself. I feel my wolf whining, pleading for me to stay and wait for our mate to find us but with determination, I climb over the barbed wires separating the two pack lands, being careful not to have my clothes or bag entangled to the wires. As I reach the top, I smell that delicious smell getting even stronger and I cross first my right foot then my left over the top of the fence, feeling my heart beating so fast. I drop down from the top and ran to the direction of my pack's pack house just as I hear twigs getting stepped on from the direction I came from. Thank Goddess they will not be able to see me, hopefully, they would not try to climb the barbed wires as I did just to find me. Then I soothe my wolf, reminding her of all the bullying we have had to injure from the alpha and all other students from that pack. I take deep breathes to calm my heart before knocking at the door of the pack house.

(Rather than a synopsis, this is more like a prologue.) "P... please marry me, your grace!" She shut her eyes after saying those words. Her face gradually reached the brightest shade of red in embarrassment, excitement, and also... fear of being rejected. After a few seconds of silence, and waiting for a definite response, she instead heard a gentle laugh that was on par with the music of the gods being played by angels, filling the entire room. Slowly, Pepper opened her eyes, mesmerized by the sight. She buried the image of the man in front of her, laughing as his fist covered his slightly open lips. The wrinkles around his closed eyelids emphasized the tenderness of his calm face. It was not the kind of laugh mocking Pepper or what she said, rather, it was more like a surprised laugh that escaped his mouth that one couldn't help but say... 'He looks kind and sweet.' Embarrassment struck her once more as the Grand Duke opened his eyes and met hers. She immediately lowered her head, pretending to watch her shoes squabble. She hoped that he didn't see her ogling in front of his face. "U...uhmmm" Pepper could still hear his quiet laughter as she watched his long fingers reach for his teacup on the glass table. She couldn't deny that seeing the silver ring on one of them reflected brilliantly on the glass affected her, but she didn't have the right to talk about it. Pepper had only realized how guilty she felt for the late duchess for committing such an inconceivable thing, but she knew she had to go through with it. She wanted him. 'Please, late duchess, bestow your blessings on us. I swear I'll take care of him, so please, please... I hope he accepts my proposal.' -------- Yes, yes finally! I am graduating from college, hopefully, *fingers crossed*. Finally have some spare time to write. And, please excuse my poor written and bad synopsis, that's my most hated part in writing so I didn’t go all out here. I am fond of reading historical, fantasy romance that’s why I am setting this story bet. 17-18th century because that’s the most appropriate age for my dramatic story (lol), I guess? Anyways, this may not be much like the other well-written novels out there but, if you're here, I hope you enjoy. My inspiration for writing this one was the anime Ristorante Paradiso, I recently re-watched the anime and *Italian chefs kiss* to the level of maturity of that anime! --- This is a work of fiction.

Neste mundo, pessoas, após passarem por eventos memoráveis durante sua vida, como a perda de um ente querido, uma tentativo de assassinato e uma quase-morte, podem acabar passando por um processo chamado Ascensão, onde uma chama invisível começa a queimar seu coração. Esta chama é chamada de “Faísca da Alma”. Por mais que muitos morram devido à dor da queimadura, muitos corpos conseguem se adaptar à energia e se beneficiar em cima dela. Aqueles que conseguem controlá-la e perpetuá-la para fora de seu corpo são chamados de “Ardentes”. Estes Ardentes podem desenvolver habilidades genéticas conhecidas como “Fendas”, onde sua energia é moldada de maneira útil para situações diversas. Quando um Ardente alcança um ponto máximo de poder e auto-controle, ele pode se transformar através do “Burnout”, um estado onde a própria energia interna toma controle do corpo, deixando ela consumi-lo por completo. A história começa no Japão no ano de 2019, onde uma grande organização militar e religiosa chamada de “Pentáculo” atua, criada para defender o país de ataques realizados por diversos grupos terroristas. O Pentáculo confisca pessoas da sociedade para serem “Bispos”, que ao mesmo tempo que pregam nos templos, lutam na linha de frente. Nos é apresentado então, Aomine Luppo, o protagonista, um jovem Bispo que prega em um dos templos da Igreja. Este mesmo templo foi atacado por um grupo terrorista famoso conhecido chamado de “Os Xerifes”, que possui membros com poderes paranormais. Luppo, então, foi torturado e perdeu a visão. Devido à cegueira, foi expulso do Clero e jogado nas ruas. Andando pelas ruas, magro e sem comer há dias, um dia, é resgatado por um homem que se apresenta como Yuudai Reno. Reno o levou para comer em um restaurante de lámen, e na volta, planejava deixá-lo ficar em seu apartamento. Mas eles foram impedidos por um homem misterioso que estava os perseguindo. Este homem tinha um distintivo em formato de estrela preso no peito, e percebendo isso, Reno teve certeza de que se tratava de um Xerife. Então, sumonou um avião de papel gigante, e voou com Luppo para longe. Percebendo que o mundo é cinza e perigoso agora, Reno decide apresentar Luppo à Scoville, uma organização de Ardentes que atua contra o Pentáculo e Os Xerifes, e defende civis da opressão e dos ataques dos grupos inimigos. Luppo então conhece muitas pessoas poderosas, e agora deve treinar para se tornar um Ardente!
