Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, LGBTQ characters

Plot Summary (in progress):
Sage has the perfect life, or so she thinks. The crowned princess spends her days going between studying and being among her people, the ones whom she loves dearly. They respect her father–the king, the one who rules so strictly, yet so kindly. And her mother, in her eyes, is beautiful and perfect in every way. She strives to be much like her–kind, patient, yet stern.
She knows her family line is also the last ones connected to the gods of their world, but she doesn’t know too much about it as it’s kept hush hush and she’s always told she’ll learn in due time.
Her world comes crashing down when Nyx arrives as a prisoner from a war she did not know was being waged. The fae, she only vaguely understands, brings bad luck to those who cross them.
Sage’s once beautiful kingdom starts to deplete, the snow that once shined brightly under the sundogs loses its light. Together, she is forced to work with Nyx to force a fate she may not want to bring about her people–or the ones she loves.
Warnings: Depression, political corruption, cursing, violence
Sage kneels between the snow brushed bushes, peering out between the leaves and the branches. She watches as the beautifully dressed soldiers, tall as they are with hair as white as the snow, march in line and in the middle a newcomer she has never seen before.
She squints, wishing she could get a bette view of this person, whose head is hung low and dark hair obscuring their face. She can make out slightly pointed ears–maybe an elf? Why would they take an elf prisoner? Their kingdom has a good relationship with them. As quietly as she can, Sage quickly moves between trees and bushes, trying to keep out of sight.
The soldiers stop at the large wooden doors of the castle, the leader shouting for the doors to be opened.
There’s a pause between the doors opening, a moment where all time stands still and the stranger to her land looks up and piercing golden eyes stare directly at her. The person is jostled and they’re forced to start walking again.
“What are you doing?” Sorrel asks from behind her, and she jumps.
“Hey!” Sage says, forcing a laugh as she stands up. “I was just uh…checking to see if anything’s been sprouted from the bushes.”
Sorrel raises a brow, a thin line frown forming on his face. Now that she thinks about it, he has the same beautiful golden eyes as that person did.
“Sure,” He says, even though he doesn’t believe her. “I don’t think His Majesty would be thrilled with you wanting to join the elite soldiers. You’ve got a kingdom to inherit.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Sage answers, waving her hand. “Whatever. What do you want?”
