I've decided that I'm going to share a little bit about my on-going writing project. It's something that I started in high school, and despite some rather kid-like qualities, I've been writing a level beyond my age for years. Anyway, I'm going to share a little bit about the plot and figure out if anyone thinks that the idea is good enough that I should keep writing or if I should just hit delete and find some better way to pass my time.
WARNING: This story contains elements of same-sex love (love in all definitions here, people), fantasy, made up mythology, and a really cruel world.
YEAR - World Centuy 1500. A new world exists. It is a world deeply divided by how peope look. Those with pure blood are prized while those with mixed blood are persecuted.
In this world live two girls, Isold and Ariana, who simply try to live as much as they can each day. Isold and Ariana are of mixed blood and treated accordingly - they have little money and no home. Though not related they think of each other as sisters, as the only family that the other has. However each girl hides a deep secret. Within them lies the power of particular elements, and they hold a power over these elements in a way that is not natural to humans. Hiding from the world that hates them, they exist in the shadows, looking for a place to call home.
Aric O'Bannon and Phillipe de Boulonge are two pure-blood aristocrats from different backgrounds. Aric was born into the world of high society while Phillipe's father is nuevo riche as a merchant. The two met as children and found a common bond in that they had similar birthmarks, the symbols of their destiny. Their attachment grew into affection and the affection to love - but not without a price. Facing persecution from their families and the people they led, they ended their affair for the sake of their people.
One a fateful night the four are thrown together and shown their destinies. Now Isold, Ariana, Aric and Phillipe must determine if they should follow their fates or live their lives the way they want to - consequences be damned.
"You will learn the meaning of true love and loss with these marks. Those you are destined to protect will show you the only real love you'll ever know, and leave you when your love comes to full bloom."
