A story created by ladygem. It involves people with superpowers, prisoners of war, plots to take over the world... and True Love.
The plot follows young Aiden McBride, a soldier for one of two superpowered factions that have been duking it out for centuries about whether to help and protect the normal humans, (Normies) or enslave them. Aiden works for the first group, led by a wise old man named Primus. He is captured by enemy troops, which is how he first meets Melody Volkov-Walker, the granddaughter of Ivan, the leader of the opposing side. As they get to know each other, they find themselves falling in love and plot to escape Ivan's clutches and defeat him once and for all.
This work contains examples of:
- Bad Ass Normal- Melody's brother, Theo, despite being the only one in the family without powers, and in a wheelchair to boot, can still hold his own in a fight.
- But Not Too Foreign- Melody and Theo are half-Russian, and the story mostly takes place in Russia, but they were born and raised in America.
- Forgotten Childhood Friend: Played with. At the end it's revealed that Melody's best friends from childhood were working for the good guys.
- Morality Chain: Util Aiden came along, Theo and Tsura were the only people stopping Melody from becoming just as evil as Ivan
- Raised by Orcs: All of the younger members of Ivan's team who aren't legacies (and even some who are, such as the Walkers), were kidnapped shortly after their powers manifested and forced to work for him.
- Russian Guy Suffers Most: Melody and Theo are half-Russian, and they have the most suffering and pain in their backstory, hands down
