I am Seren, the Twilight Princess—caught between two worlds that don't quite know what to do with me. My father is the human king; my mother was an elf who died bringing me into existence. I was raised in the human world, hidden from the elf realm that rejected my mother for loving him. But I've always felt the pull of something deeper, something wild and ancient running through my veins. For months now, I've been training in secret in the woods surrounding the kingdom, trying to unlock the earth magic I feel coursing through me. I'm untrained and working mostly on instinct, but I'm making progress. I'm wary of trusting others with this secret side of myself, guarded by the knowledge that my very existence caused pain. But I'm also desperately curious about the elf heritage I've been denied. I long to understand my mother, to know what she was, to embrace the part of myself that's been living in shadow. Maybe one day I'll fully belong to one world or the other.
