Elusive Miracle
Legends foretold, the spark of light
Fallen from the heavens to bring delight
Those who follow in her goddess's light
Shall be brought to lands that heavens compare
Darkness however knows they won't fare
Against this gracious sunbeam's shimmering might
Snuff this ember before ruin is brought upon the dark
Go forth, my faithful beast of darkness!
Engulf the spark before it destroys us all!

One of heart, one of mind, one wish that made the heavens open their pearly gates. A miracle, born to lead the world into a new age of peace for the light elves. Unfortunately, that would mean the end for the dark elves. The crimes of their ancestors were pushed down through generations.
The new age of peace has no place for half-demons, someone must put an end to the newborn Messiah.
Unfortunately for Philomel, this death sentence of a mission was pushed to her, courtesy of the Chief's son, Asclepius. Asclepius, an ambitious, short-sighted dark elf, determined to bring the dark elves to their former glory. A person Philomel made the mistake of pissing off. Dragging along the oblivious entrance guard, (Amon) they begin their emotional rollercoaster of a journey.
Daggers in hands, can they become the villains their tribe so badly needs, or will the guilt finally drag them under?

A voice bellowed and screeched from all around him. It sounded like a million cries through the echoes of a cave, that shrieked as it spoke. The shadows reach out toward the blood-red sky, forming a huge dark figure, the figure of a roaring dragon. Its eyes shine through all the darkness, one a brilliant blue, the other a golden yellow, slits of black in the middle, when the dragon blinks, it blinks sideways. From the corner of the eyes to the other corner, rather than one eyelid to the other.
" Was anything but pleasant."
The distorted voice of his father reminded him as the dragon stomped around. Each stomp crushed the homes of many and killed screaming villages.
" Is this what you wish for? Is this what your heart desires?"
The disfigured voice questioned.

" I win."
Philomel smugly whispers to Lenny. Completely pleased with herself before noticing Lenny's heart rate beating against her own, matching her speed but was off her pace. It felt like her heart was pounding at an unnatural speed which felt scary but at the same time interesting. She barely noticed Lenny's hazel eyes sparkling as his shocked expression slowly melts into a blissful goofy smile.
Her attention finally returned to Lenny when his chiseled jawline moved closer to her. Lenny's head leans forward kissing Philomel on the cheek as he stares at her with such soft eyes.
Philomel instantly blushes as she gasps at the sudden kiss. Her lips trembling trying to think of something to say but her brain malfunctioned. Lenny let out a deep chuckle as he ran a hand through his mahogany chestnut brown hair, extremely happy at Philomel's cute reaction.

There will be romance but it would be slow-paced since it's friends to lovers. No smut scenes. There will be battles and tons of emotional trauma. Super in the middle can go both ways.
This book is experimental writing.
It shall be written in script format, detailed, and have a rhythmic beat/freestyle poem to certain scenery descriptions.
The story shall also have switched target audience, where certain chapters are tailored to male/ female readers. There will be a notice to inform which chapters are which.
Female Tailored Chapters (FTC) will have more cute scenes between characters.
Male Tailored Chapters (MTC) will have battle based on the Dungeon and Dragon format where the victory or defeat of a match is based on a dice roll.
Upload Every Saturday
I will also be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com and Inkitt.
