The Price of Magic
TAKEN
"Marry my prince, and I will show you what your magic can become."
She had always craved to learn and master the magical arts. She delved into dusty parchments gnawed by the ages to uncover the ancient secrets, to further stretch her learning beyond the unknown limits. She tore through scroll after scroll to perfect the craft of the arcane secrets that swelled within each human being.
As the heiress of her small kingdom of Nidrer, YC knew she would one day inherit her parents' lands to protect. And, she needed to be stronger to drive off any would-be attacker once word reaches that she had become queen. After all, a female ruler was believed to be a sign of weakness for any kingdom.
So, as droves of relentless suitors stormed the castle to claim her hand in marriage, the princess busied herself with pushing her magic to the edge. That was until the neighboring kingdom of Kastalur sent her an offer they knew she would find hard to refuse.
After pulling strings that ran deeper than the lands of Yulmar, they sent a tutor in the arcane arts to the princess.
Kirad, though a young man in the middle of his twenties, stood as a giant in the magical world. As the last member of a group of wizards who were deemed too dangerous to be kept alive, the young magician possessed an arsenal of immense powers. They were believed to have been wiped out, but god knows how Kastalur found him.
Thus, as the tutor arrived at her court, he bore a condition: Kirad would tutor the princess in the magical arts until she mastered it, but at the end of the contract, she was bound to marry the prince of Kastalur.
Hence, their adventure would begin: a legendary mage tutoring a princess. And, she would never dare to break the contract, not when a metaphorical god of magic stood as a possible enemy of her people.
Or, would she? And, at what cost?
Hey! If you survived that plot reading, then, congrats! So, I have a few requests for my future partners:
1. I'd definitely request someone who can match my writing :D I typically write around 3 or more paragraphs, but it depends on my mood, really.
2. While I never nitpick grammar, a comprehensible grasp of the language is much appreciated.
3. I am quite a slow-paced writer, but I do have days where I can burst through multiple replies. However, my average is around one every two days. I hope this is not an issue.
4. The plot above is definitely HIGH FANTASY with a heavy emphasis on magic and spells :D Thus, I do encourage my potential partner to be very creative hehe :) There is a lot of world-building involved, so, the more liberated you are with that, the better :3
5. While I already have a rough idea of where the story goes, a partner who can drive the plot is a big cookie point :D It takes two to tango, after all! The more twists, the better!
6. Slow burns are better, in my opinion. Romance is a good occurrence, but it doesn't have to be the main focus.
7. I'll only accept one person for this plot :D I'll update once it has been taken!
