   Summary

   Please, don't go where I can't follow…

   Magic; powerful enough to shape the world, but fragile as a butterfly. The slightest blip, the slightest unpleasant touch, and it can corrupt as much as it saves.

   When magic is the very essence of that soul... if one gets corrupted, is the other forced to follow?

   What antidote could there possibly be for a miasma that eats away at your very soul?

   (aka a 'no prophecy/royalty au' with a lot of surprises! And some chapters have art)
