Description
[ONC RD2 AmbassadorsPick] ** A fairy with a desire for revenge. A fallen angel with the burden of guilt. Two lives unexpectedly intertwined by sin, magic and fate - well, and bloody murders. ** "A righteous God displays his wrath every day; if someone does not repent, he will sharpen his sword." (Psalm 7:12) In the gloomy streets of London, the fallen angel Sariel walks as judge and executioner of divine justice. But between the cabs and gas lanterns, sin germinates in the upper class's decadence and the lower ones' misery, as if in fertile soil. When bloody murders occur, and the other executioners target Sariel himself, he must confront the shadow of his own sins. To prove his innocence, he reluctantly teams up with the seductive courtesan and sidhe Raelyn, who is pursuing her own mysterious goals. But the more profound the unlikely companions dig, the more the boundaries between good and evil, enemy and friend, right and wrong become blurred. Between the dirty alleyways of the East End and the sumptuous halls of Westminster, a battle for the city's soul breaks out. In their search for the true monster, Sariel and Raelyn must not only penetrate the streets' darkness but also confront the darkness in their own hearts. For in this world of lies and intrigue, nothing is as it seems, and the truth could be their downfall. Will they find the Butcher and clear themselves - or will they end up as monsters in the dark? *** Submitted: Round I - 2.000 Words 🗸 Submitted for Round I Round II - 8.000 Words 🗸 Submitted for Round II Round III - 20.000 Words
