Well, I think I have kept this story in the dark long enough. If I’m going to keep posting pictures of this I might as well at least give those few interested people a little bit of background information.
So here goes,
Zoey and Flynn are the two main characters in a story I have been developing for a few years now. It takes place in a fantasy land I created where magic is as relied upon as science and where kings and queens rule the land. This particular country, Regnuma, has a number is social issues and issues concerning magic. It is a country where the place and family you are born to will almost always determine your social status for the rest of your life. To be in a higher social class you need a good, skilled job, to get a good, skilled job you need to have graduated from a university, to get into a university you need to come from a good school and these schools aren’t available to the people from the poorer regions of Regnuma. This country has also had quite a bit on trauma related to wizards; 150 years ago, a rebelious ban of wizards betrayed Regnuma during one of the worst wars in Regnuma’s history. It nearly cost them the war and afterwards wizards were banned from the king’s court and those who practiced magic were persecuted. However, more recently wizards have been rebuilding their reputation and many have even gained the respect and loyalty of the King himself. A new summit of wizards were set up to advise the King on the magical community. This however came with much controversy which lead to anti-magic groups and organizations.
This is the story of a girl, named Zoey, who grew up in the midst of all this. She grew up in a so-so town, where it was possible to get a decent education and even qualify for some of the lesser universities. She lost her family in a horrible fire that destroyed her house and was sent to live with a foster family with one too many children to feed. She spent her years attending school with a hope that she could get out of this town and go on to really live out her own dreams.
This is also the story of a man, named Flynn who grew up on the other side. His father was one of the most trusted advisers to the King and therefore one of the richest men in all of Regnuma. He lived in a community of the wealthiest wizards and was sent to the best school in the country and studied under the best wizards that money could buy. He was the only one in his family to inherit his father’s gift and as such he was pressured to be the best at everything he did or else receive the consequences. He eventually ran away after ending the betrothal to Anastasia and went to start his own buisness in the magical world. He later replaced his father on the summit of wizards and was able to create a nice, wealthy, grand life for himself.
This is the story of how these two VERY different people from opposite circumstances eventually come together. Her dreams are shattered when he takes her as a hostage pretty much (not exactly, but that’s all I’m going to say about that for now). He learns about her life and the problems she faced and she learns about how “eating off his father’s silver spoon” isn’t all it’s worked up to be.
That’s all I’m going to say for now, and believe me there is a lot more to say, this doesn’t even cover 1/10 of the complexity of this world and these characters. But I don’t want to share too much too soon. Hopefully this will generate a little interest for their story.

John Watson: You … you told me once … that you weren’t a hero. Umm… There were times when I didn’t even think you were human, but let me tell you this. You were the best man, the most human … human being that I’ve ever known and no one will ever convince me that you told me a lie, and so … there. I was so alone … and I owe you so much. But please, there’s just one more thing, one more thing, one more miracle , Sherlock, for me, don’t be … dead. Would you do that just for me? Just stop it. Stop this…

Olivia Penpraze.
19 years old.
Died from a Suicide attempt that left her brain dead. Her parents made the hardest decision of their lives by turning off her life support.
She had a Tumblr account with over 900 posts sharing her emotional turmoil, dealings with depression, loneliness & thoughts about her wanting to take her own life.
The only response she got, was insensitive assholes, like the majority of people on Tumblr, encouraging her to do it. She was bullied consistently.
Olivia attempted to kill herself every year in May 1st since 2008.In May 2012, her short life came to an end.
I know most people can’t tolerate posts like Olivia’s, whom find it attention seeking.
My point to you people is…EXACTLY!!
Of course it’s attention seeking what else it?! People share that part of themselves over the Internet because they obviously feel they can’t talk to anyone they know nor do they think anyone would care.
All I want is for people to cut out the bullying & talk to people like Olivia.
A conversation to someone in desperation could save their life.If people can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.
You never know…
What you say could be used to decide whether they live or die.Everyone needs to be aware of this.
“Campaingers are suggesting the clip be shown in schools” - Yes. Yes. People need to realize that there is a cold, hard reality behind the strength of the words. Words can be far more hurtful than any cut of the knuckle in a punch, or scratch, or anything. Words cling and they go sour in someone’s mind because they can’t stop thinking about it. Kids aren’t getting it. They keep doing it. Adults do it. A majority of people on Tumblr are in their late teens, nearly twenties - and they still send that sort of hateful comments that curdle the mind and increase the temptation.
But seminars on bullying are always so vague. They don’t show the notes, or the devastation it does to someone. It only tells what you could do, but never gives evidence. It never gives something that’s more like a slap in the face; a drop in your gut. Teenagers are full of self-entitled “the world revolves around me” attitudes and their hormones and growing development claim that their word is right in every situation, and everyone goes through that point, so it’s understandable that it’s so hard to make them see -which is why you need to be real. You can’t sugar coat this stuff like I remember seeing in seminars. You need to show stories like Olivia’s and you need to show what she went through; the power of words.
Poor Olivia. I wish I could’ve been her friend, to help her. People continuously say that we’re not like the animals who kill the other in the kingdom, but I very much like to differ when things like this happen. We may not use teeth and fangs but our words bite as strongly as one.
Shame on you if you have ever had the gall to go tell someone to die; to tell them they’re worthless. Shame on you.
