Pandora's Heart

Description

 

 

Light and Shadow.

That's what Hana and Yixing are.

Hana's the light that's oblivious to the shadow following her.

Yixing's the shadow that can't exist without the light.

 

 

Foreword

 

Prologue

 

His body was frail und feeble. His soul - immortal.

A Time Keeper, born as a debilitated human being to fulfill that simple task. The task of imperceptibly shadowing the ‘enemy’ and heartlessly erasing it from this world - not leaving behind a single trace of evidence that could hint at the flawless crime.

Yixing was a perfectionist, or so he thought of himself. Everything had to go the way he had thoroughly planned, no one was permitted to interfere. That was the exquisite art and purpose of his life. Together with the other Time Keepers, he functioned to prevent the world’s collapse.  Yet the prospect of seeing the innocent silhouette of Hana dying right before his glistening eyes was triggering bolts of pain to pierce through his heart.

He knew everything about her. Every single habit. Every single complex. Every preference and every desire. Every corner of her personality and every visible inch of her body, be it ever so small. If he were to major in a class all about her, he would ace it without even the tiniest mistake.


But as she is only fractions of seconds away from being absorbed by the black hole we call death, she finally meets his yearning stare.

For the first time in 20 years their eyes lock.

Chapter 3: I'm crying. Seriously, I can't say more than that. Great job on the story.
It was beautiful. Though I'm still a bit confused on what the power Hana had was. It was beautiful.

Chapter 2: What is in Yixing? :O I can't wait to find out!

This chapter made my heart drop in the beginning. I was so sad to read that it had happend, but then the things with the lights happend and she was back. He didn't exactly safe her I suppose, but at least he won't have to life with pain in his heart.

But, I'm not sure what Kris is going to do to him. I really hope that his stopped time with her will be a fun time.

Chapter 1: This first chapter was beautifully written. Nice decription of the surroudings and the way they were feeling. Background was there to. You've some great writing skills, girl! :D

I guess time keepers are immortal, so if he won't be able to safe her, then he will be left with a lot of pain forever. I hope he will be able to safe her.
I'm don't really understand what kind of person she is, but I'm sure I'll find out as I'll proceed reading the other chapters.
