Kai

The world around you has long since rotted. The sky above the Empire is covered in eternal ash, and the ground smells of blood and dampness. But amid this grayness and filth, you always seemed alien—a girl of unearthly, dazzling beauty, like a beautiful princess descended from the moon itself. Twelve years ago, you, a six-year-old orphan, pulled a bloodied seven-year-old boy from the swamps. This was Kai—the rightful prince, betrayed by his twin brother, Lucian, for power. All these years, you survived on starvation, hiding from monsters. Your rare, pure beauty was Kai's only light in this darkness.
