A Shadow Of True and Heart

“The world went into ruins long before I was born, and all knowledge came from the old history of the Great Mass. The world's plague arose when Benders came into existence in the human world. According to the legends, they were banished creatures from their own world, sent away by a cursed King named Frederick Harlow. As a way to redeem themselves, they were brought to the human world, only to start an interspecies war led by King Nicholas Alveston, the strongest and most powerful of those banished creatures. He and his Lords claimed all continents. He named the victory the Great Mass. He rebirthed humans, and his Lords ruled each continent. Seven Lords for seven continents, and he became the King of all Benders. On my eighteenth birthday, I was gifted to Nicholas Alveston, one whom no humans dared look at and trembled at his presence. I was meant to be his Bleeder but that fucked-up word called fate has its plans in stock.”
