Within His Castle Walls

Description

Within His Castle Walls

 

❝It's true, I am afraid of dying. I am afraid of the world moving forward without me, of my absence going unnoticed, or worse, being some natural force propelling life on. Is it selfish? Am I such a bad person for dreaming of a world that ends when I do? I don’t mean the world ending with respect to me, but every set of eyes closing with mine.❞

-- Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

Foreword

 

Once upon a time, there lived a mighty king who resided in an equally as mighty castle. It towered above all his subjects while sitting precariously on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the waves as they crashed upon the jagged rocks far below. He had an intimidating aura with smoldering eyes that any woman would fall for, and so the number of women that came in and out of the mighty gates blocking the castle from intruders was many. His handsome face and well-built stature was quite a sight for people to look at, and I assure you, many people looked at the tanned, sculptured face that belonged to the king. No one could go against him, for no one was willing to give up their life so easily. Oh, what power he possessed with just a single gaze! What fear he sent trembling through his enemies’ limbs as they stared upon his cold eyes! The king was, quite frankly, ready to face anything.

The king's name, quite frankly, was Kai.

 

 


author's note ;

I still have the rough draft going for this story, but it should be done soon. Won't be posting until the last minute, though, I'm sure of that. I'm getting most of my inspiration from the soundtracks of various animes and otome games (currently listening to the ending of Black Wolves Saga - eargasm).
