So he asks, Can I keep you? But what does a girl, one who's only just begun to taste freedom, say to someone who asks to keep her? *A slow-burn fantasy romance, with dark elements and descriptive scenes of smut* mature audiences only*

...𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺, 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦... In a land far away from the one we know lies a mighty empire, fallen in ruins. Elves ruled those lands once, governing all with peace and goodwill, striving to create a world of harmony as they united three mighty kindreds into one. Yet never would such beauty last for long. From the far south, a sorcerer lies in wait. He had once stirred up the arrogant so that they would betray their king, shattering the bonds of fellowship and brotherhood that had once held them together. And thus, with his evil cunning and malice, that sorcerer had destroyed the once glorious empire, throwing it down into the ashes and the smoke. Such great matters, it would seem, does not concern those of the world we think we live in, yet as three teenagers, with their own little differences, would see, maybe all the worlds of fantasy do also concern us, and fate would bring them to do great things, in a land that never even knew them...
