《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》Desolation

Present time....
..........
*Sigh!* Princess Emelelyn sighed a painful, sorrowful sigh. She couldn't help think about what had happened with Frank every time she sees the blue flowers. Her heart broke into pieces already. If she could cry, she would have already but her tears have long dried out. Now, she's stuck on this wheelchair, unable to move from the spot. Why must she be reminded of Frank every time she sees those flowers? Who...who was the idiot that planted those blue flowers? These flowers are called Anemone flowers...and they symbolize fading hope...the feeling of being forsaken. Staring at them was not helping her poor soul.
Her beloved left her...there's less than 1% chance of getting her original appearance back...she will be unable to run and feel the wind through her hair ever again. Her hands gripped tightly at the dagger as she stared off into nothingness.
"Life...there's no more meaning...I...I should just end it...." Emelelyn muttered as she looked at the dagger in her hand.
Suddenly, a hoarse, dark voice resounded, "I can help you."
Emelelyn glanced around in surprise, "W-who said that? Where are you?"
"I am in your mind. Don't worry about who I am, just know that I can help you."
"Why would you help me? What can you gain from that?"
"I just want to help an unlucky soul."
"But-!"
"Who was it that abandoned you? Who broke your heart? Who played with your innocent feelings?"
"F-Frank...that scum!"
"Then let me heal you."
"How can I trust you?"
"Fine...I'll tell you who I am. I am Desolation."
"Desolation! I've heard of you. You are an evil Demonic Entity - one of the first Demon Gods. No! I don't need your help, leave me."

"I am not evil...just misunderstood...a fellow unlucky soul. Here...let me show you something."
..........
Back at the guild....
..........
"So how's the situation with the survivors in Delta Town?" Shadow asked.
"It's alright...however, Princess Emelelyn had met an unfortunate occurrence." Khaos replied.
"Oh? What happened to her?"
"Her limbs were shattered. Her body were full of burns and melted flesh. The healers say there's little to no chance of healing her and restoring her original appearance."
"Oh...maybe I or Hikari can concoct something that can help?"
"No...no need. Don't heal her."
"Why not?"
"I have a better, safer way. Who knows what kind of negative side-effects your half-baked concoctions would bring."
..........
Back to the medical tent in Delta Town....
..........
A image appeared in front of Princess Emelelyn. It was Khaos and the guild staff...Shadow? Maybe. Emelelyn asked curiously, "What's this about?"
"Just watch."
Emelelyn stared at the moving images and overheard the conversation involved.
"So how's the situation with the survivors in Delta Town?" Shadow asked.
"It's alright...however, Princess Emelelyn had met an unfortunate occurrence." Khaos replied.
"Oh? What happened to her?"
"Her limbs were shattered. Her body were full of burns and melted flesh. The healers say there's little to no chance of healing her and restoring her original appearance."
"Oh...maybe I or Hikari can concoct something that can help?"
"No...no need. Don't heal her."
The image cut off, leaving a stunned Emelelyn, "T-that's it?!"
"Do you understand now? They do not want to heal you...they have forsaken you."
"No...no...no...NO!!" Emelelyn cried out in despair and covered her face with her hands.
"They may have abandoned you but not me. Come with me. I will never abandon you."
Emelelyn lifted her head up, eyes blank...and muttered, "Yes."
A dark portal appeared in front of her and Emelelyn walked in.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.

Death Exists Not Under Heaven
The once-prominent Taihelong dynasty of Li continent has fallen. A great cultivation sect that ruled over countless cultivation schools that taught aspiring immortals disappeared after a long and arduous siege that cost thousands.

As far as everyone was concerned, the Taihelong dynasty had to fall or else the world ended. Years later, the second Emperor of the new Xiafeng dynasty of Li continent accepts a Huayi woman into the palace. People are aghast but don't say anything, as the Emperor is rather peculiar, known to have a monstrous temper capable of making the strongest men wet their pants.

Especially when remnants of the previous Taihelong dynasty are waiting for the perfect time to take back what's theirs.
