In Arcan, perfection kills. Aysu, who once came from a world of ash, must navigate the politics of her new world. It's a beautiful world, with wonderful things like magic, a pantheon of Aeons, and the...Vindai. The Vindai... But she doesn't need to worry about that, so long as she minds her own business, kills her curiosity, and focuses on school. Some doors will stay locked. Elsewhere, Kheda kills, and stays alive because of one of the selfish wishes of the Vindai. She fights, she fights, and she'll fight some more to keep her doors locked. (Content Warning: This story contains graphic descriptions of violence, scenes of self-inflicted injury, and heavy emotional trauma.)
