Throwing out a bit of self promotion here because I don't think this story has gotten the notice it deserves. Don't let the summary fool you, as I originally intended on going a different direction with this story lol. Balance is full of legends, adventure and even a bit of poetry...in fact the first poem I've written in about five years hehe. And yes, it is an almost 25k word long one-shot .

Sneak Peak:

“Brave and true guardians for the children of Kami,
Forsaken and forgotten their destiny.
Beautiful children of our womb,
Stray from them to meet their doom.
What once was in perfect balance,
Now look upon the other in hate and malice.
When there is one so shall the other be,
Interwoven within their own destiny.
A life to give, a love to claim,
Each generation fated the same.
For longer than time was in measure,
We blessed them an eternity of pleasure.
As we wished so it was law,
Until the balance was in yaw.”
