Prologue

This is not the beginning for everyone but for some.

If you are the type of reader that loves suspense and plot holes captivate you the please move on to read the first chapter. However if you dont like that then continue reading this.

Im about to explain the basic structure of the world you are about to enter along with some of the characters.

Humanised bonds. What are they?

In this world people are connected with lines that tangle with each other,creating a "rope" that connects these two people. Through those lines there is a constant exchange of energy.Special female beings that look like humans,called "carriers", can connect themselves with those lines. The result is the energy to flow through them before it reaches the person,which is called "source",giving them control over the bond. But it comes with a cost. If the bond is damaged then their physical forms get injured as well.

Categories:

First class: Parental bonds. The carriers of this class are tall,with long brown hair and green eyes. They dont communicate much with the other classes and they are stern but quiet. They have control over the families and are responsible for maintaining balance inside the families.

Second class: Brotherly bonds. Even though they live together with first class bonds,the latter pay them little attention and respect. The first class considers the second class a source of troubles leading to confrontations between them. However they always manage to come to an agreement,for the sake of the family. Second classes are blond with blue eyes.

Third class:Erotic bonds. These carriers have an inability to follow rules. They are different from the previous categories as they dont usually have the sense of responsibility and duty first and second classes have. If a couple breaks up,then they just release the bond and simply get transferred to another one. Short with red hair and blue eyes. They usually dress as sexy as they can and generally they are not very likeable among the other categories.

Fourth class: Friendship bonds. Shy and afraid with long black hair and black eyes. They are very important for the structure of society but no one recognises that(not even themselves). Carriers from third class frequently use carriers from the fourth class and then they try to persuade them to join their category.

Shadows.

They were created from the Dark energy of the universe. They feed on the bonds. Either by eating the carrier or by eating the bond directly,like spaghetti.

Leading class of Shadows:

Dark Queen:Their supreme ruler. Savage,cunning and unpredictable. Hates politics and thats why she has withdrawn from active duty.

Paimon:Oldest of the three princes.Calm,collective and reasonable.He is drawn to pain.

Haures: The middle brother and Dark Queen's right hand man due to his quick thinking,smooth talking and leadership skills. After her withdrawal,he is acting ruler of the Shadows.

Thanos: The youngest prince and Haures's biggest weakness.Due to the fact Haures raised him from infancy,he is extremely overprotective of his younger sibling. Thanos is responsible for guiding the souls back to the universal energy from which they have come. Little interest in politics. In his human form he is the most handsome man immaginable but he remains single(Haures is partially responsible for that).

Light Spirits.

Great Queen(Eve):Just twenty years old,smart and patient. She used to date Paimon but they broke up due to the fact that Eva's soul-bond with the four High Spirits prevents her from failing in love. After Dark Queen's "retirement" she is technically in charge of the entire multiverse but she chose to relinquish that privilege in order to sign a peace treaty with the Shadows and was named "Great" for that selfless act.

Erica:High spirit in charge of third class. Middle height with short red hair. Adventurous,loves breaking rules.

Mary: High spirit in charge of first class. Tall with long black hair.She isnt close to the other High Spirits or the Queen. She hates foolish behaviour and she demands the protocol to be followed accurately.

Andromeda: High spirit in charge of the second class.Most beautiful of them all with short curly red hair. Thoughtful and very patient,knows how to control every situation.

Irini: High spirit in charge of the fourth class. The immature of the family,along with Erika. These two are often called "The duo of surprises".With her long red hair and bright brown eyes reminds everyone of a young cheerful lady.

All High Spirits used to be carriers themselves that fought in the Great War and were the only ones to survive.For the accomplishments they were given immortality and were granted a position on the Supreme court.

Lili: Eve's previous life as a Queen. Her immature and reckless behaviour drove her to try to kill the Dark Queen which imbalanced the multiverse leading to its destruction and re-creation. Many believe the Dark Queen's near death experience drove her to resign from her duties.

Fate: Acting Queen before Eve was born. She refused to relinquish the throne which resulted in a civil war that ended with her loss and banishment.
