trigger warning: violence, abuse, abandonment

the story of two desperate lovers
one strays from the noble path bestowed upon them
[name] is the sixth child of the family
a divine angel among many other siblings.
yet they were the one
the kingdom chose to desecrate.
with cruel words and crueler punishment,
petaled tears would stream down their face.
the flowers would grow
and bring life to the kingdom
at the expense of their own livelihood
and no one would ever know
what they endured for everyone else's happiness.
the other is a monster
eris lives alone after being abandoned by his family
in the woods
deep, deep in a cave
with dark, twisted branches and overgrown moss
they lure innocent travelers
into her mystical trap
and there the unknowing souls stay forever.
some may call it evil, she just does it to not get hurt again.
looking into [name]'s eyes
and seeing the same pain that he carried
they could not bear
to even lay a finger and hurt them more.
both are simply misunderstood
but in looking into each other's hearts,
and seeing the beauty in the damage, they are perfect for each other.
