Synopsis
An honest boy named Simon Fillips moves with his father and brother to an elven village, where he meets his newborn half-sister Karrie—a red-haired child literally one in a million. A half-elf, of all things—said to be an omen of disaster. Determined to protect her from the world, Simon vows to be the kind of brother she can depend on. Amid rolling plains and quiet days, he learns what it truly means to belong… and what it means to protect those he loves. Enjoy the peaceful, slice-of-life moments of Simon and his family as they grow together— while it lasts. Years later, Karrie awakens in a strange, ever-changing manor and comes face-to-face with the man who took everything from her: Cassius Sinclair. Given an impossible ultimatum, she must choose— to become one of the world’s last great mages in an age ruled by machines… or become his bride. A gothic, 1920s-inspired fantasy where the warmth of family meets the cruelty of fate.

Chapter 1 - Roar

 

Year????

Location???

A flaming bird soared through the sky over the battlefield, a symbol of hope, its wings spread wide over the war-torn battlefield.

"So it's finally arrived, " a soldier muttered, his voice gruff 

"Took them long enough." The Bird had a target: the towering titan. "SCREE!" it roared and launched fiery threads from its wings, wrapping around its target's massive arms. 

 With the beat of its wings, the titan was slowly lifted up off its feet. Flames from the phoenix's tail lit up, burning the titan.

"Rahhg!" the titan roared CHRRRRK!

Giant shards of rock shot up from the ground and aimed at the phoenix, and it dodged them by inches. 

"Dam birds trying to lift that giant thing?" a soldier mumbled in disbelief. 

"Captain, your orders?"

"Shoot it down."

The man raised his arm with the ballista.

"Fire"

The bolts soared through the sky, lunging into the bird, one penetrating its neck. 

"SCREEE!"

"Hell yeah! See that men!"

But their cheers were short-lived. 

Suddenly, the air changed, the flaming strings from the bird engulfed the bolt coiling around it like a snake, then, suddenly, it was gone in an instant. 

"Wh..what was that?" A soldier bit his lip, 

"The True Power of the phoenix..now we have its attention" 

The phoenix prepared for an attack, nature energy gathered at its beak 

"Prepare men!" 

"GRAAA!" It began to launch an attack, but before that, the titan grabbed its tail.

The blast veered off course, missing the soldiers gathered below and setting off in the distance, obliterating a mountain in a single blast.

KA-CHOOOM

"That was close, Goliath saved us." The man's legs were trembling, and he nearly pissed himself.

The phoenix nipped away at the Titan's armour. 

"Relaunch the balista," the captain ordered

"What's the point? That thing seems to disperse our attacks!" 

"Do as I say, if we can't stop it here, then-"

Suddenly, a stray blast shot towards the men in a bright flash and a loud crash of thunder …they were gone without a single plea.
