Surrender

Synopsis

I was taught to fear the truth, a lesson my mother instilled in me from birth, but that was before. Before she disappeared without a trace and left me to navigate a world she taught me was dangerous, but never explained why.I thought I could handle it alone, with only my best friend to share my secrets, but that was before them—before the men that plowed into my life and found a place for themselves.They gave me everything—love, respect, but there was one thing I needed, that they didn't have. Answers.Why was I taught to hide away? Why did I have to give up a life of riches for countless hours spent working a mine? And most importantly, what happened to the other Divine from the Zircon line?Marcus said there were none left, but he didn't know what I did, that I was one. Still, that begged the question, was the source of my magic why I was hidden away? Was it the cause of awakening the dormant powers in those I grew close to? And finally, what was so wrong with it, that everyone like me was dead?I didn't know the answer to any of those questions but finding myself exactly where my mother had always feared I'd end up, I have a feeling I'm going to find out.Contains mature themes.
