Masquerade

Description

Summary

Thousands of years ago, before the first human civilizations were born; the world was ruled by those called The Shadows. They embodied darkness and studied the dark magic of the world, but early humans arose against them to bring a belief of light into the world. They created a being unlike any other, someone who would guide humanity into its glory. It was the beginning of light vs. dark; good vs. evil. Something so simple, yet things were never meant to be simple. Lies, deception, they existed on both sides. This gave rise to two souls, a hero and a protector. The Chosen One and her Guardian.

 

Characters

The Guardians (The Elite Six)

Eunjung: Leader of the guardians. Excels not only in hand to hand combat, but also in ranged and armed combat. She is immune to all magical attacks. She is known to always have a blank expression and feels no emotion or connection to anything or anyone. The only thing she can truly feel is pain.

Hyomin: Second in command. Headstrong and opinionated, Hyomin has been alongside Eunjung the longest. She is probably the only one who truly understands their leader. She is ranked as a Fury Warrior. Armed and hand to hand combat are her specialties. Preferred weapon of choice is a katana.

Soyeon: High Priestess of the guardians. Third person to join the guardians. She is ranked as a Priest, excelling in holy magic. She is caring and compassionate with a strong sense of duty and extremely loyal. She is considered the weakest of the Elite Six because most of her abilities are healing spells, but in fact she is probably the only who can defeat Eunjung.

Boram: Fourth person to join the guardians. She is ranked as a Hunter, excelling in long range attacks and is able to tame almost any animal. Proficient with a bow, crossbow, and guns. Remarkable aim and high use of traps and trick shots. While she maintains a long range from her opponents when fighting, she is proficient enough with daggers in close range combat. She has also used the aid of animals that she has tamed to help her in battle. Loves to eat, and generally pretty quiet and shy. She is highly determined and loyal.

Qri: Fifth member of the guardians. She is ranked as a Mage. Fire, frost, and arcane are her primary source of magical attacks. Her attacks are so powerful she can one shot most of her enemies but is weak against physical attacks. Usually maintains a long range when fighting like Boram. She is self centered and likes to have things go her way. Has a crush on Eunjung.

Hwayoung: Newest member of the Elite Six. Has been part of The Guardians for only one hundred years and should be considered a rookie by training standards. She is ranked as a Arms Warrior and specializes on long range melee weapons. Her preferred weapon is a spear. She is considered a genius because of how fast she can learn and master different fighting styles and skills. She accidentally killed her master in a training session then took his position. Has a thing for Hyomin and older women in general [even though she older than the "older women"]

Foreword

Hello everyone~

I started this story over 3 years ago and have been working on it since.  I did go on a very long hiatus on it, specifically 2 years and 4 months, but I have recently returned and have begun writing once again.  The story was, and still is, being posted on the T-ara forums as well as my writing journal on LJ.

This story contains elements from the game World of Warcraft who is owned by Blizzard Entertainment.  These elements are for entertainment purposes only and they helped inspire inspiration of course.  They do not belong to me.

There are 3 original characters in this story.  Jaehee, Kyurhee and TaeIn are the OC's and belong to myself and two of my friends.

The main fandom in Masquerade is T-ara and there are big roles for members from Big Bang, IU, Hyori, Mighty Mouth and Kara.  There are a lot of other characters in the story as well but these are the main ones.

Please enjoy and don't forget to always R&R!

Chapter 39: Guuuurl, That twist though! I had my suspicions and then in this chapter while I was reading it mentions Ham Donghyuk was gifted Ashbringer and I'm just like "... WAIT."

Oh my lord. Well then. Now I'm super interested to see how Jiyeon takes this. Also can Eunjung still do light things down? Is she still part of the Guardians? What will they do when they find out about Eunjung? Things my mind is asking~~

Also. You told me this was short. How dare you. Your short is everything I wish my chapters would be lmao. I also can't write long comments for . My tears. .... Please update xDD *is shot*

Chapter 39: I KNEW IT! Eunjung IS one of them! Oh my, I kind of expected this, but it still blew my mind.
And noting the surname of the General of the Royal Army for whom the Ashbringer was made, I can already tell that Jaehee and Eunjung are going to stick together from now on as allies. Or not hahahaha
This story is really intense. And I feel like there will be more in the coming chapters. We'll be looking forward for the next chapter! Go Author-ssi! :D

Chapter 39: And i think this is why God forbids Eunjung to fall in love with his chosen one's because Ej is a shadow and he erase her past also he let her think that she is a guardian so that he can keep an eye to the true owner of ashbringer right? Hehe

Chapter 39: So the real owner of ashbringer is Eunjung and she is one of them as well? Ham Dongwook is the kings right hand man? So that explains it... :D
