Bleeding Heart

"Love makes you weak."

That was the very first thing that Dawn had ever learned; the only thing her mother had taught her.

Nix'Ryl had been a tough place to grow up. You could not trust anyone. People who dared to trust someone always ended up regretting it.

That was why when the young shapeshifting king of Lumna offered her a way out she left with him.

Home. It was something she longed for. And it was what he offered her to marry him. So she did.

Though when he was alive she had spent a lot of energy pushing him away, when her husband is murdered she vows that those who dared take her provider away shall die.

Raven could not remember anything about his life, himself, where he was from. How far away he was from home. Nothing but a beautiful face. A face that was constantly in his mind.

If he could find the owner of the face, he might be able to find out more about himself. There was just one problem. He was blind. Completely unable to see.

When the queen takes him under her wing he swears that he will return the favor. For though he cannot remember anything about his past, Raven knows that one should always pay a debt.
