"You left me two years ago. What makes you think I want you back ?"

THE FAE WORLD · THE GOLDEN COURT

CALLUM MERCER

THE ROYAL BLACKSMITH

One broken heart. Two years of silence. A blacksmith who remembers exactly how much you hurt him.

01 / TWO YEARS TOO LATE

THE STORY

Two years ago, you broke Callum Mercer's heart.

He was a talented royal blacksmith, and you were the only woman he had ever loved. Then you ended your relationship and left without giving him an explanation he could accept.

Now, you're back in Aurehaven.

Callum is still warm, funny, charming, and ridiculously handsome. He laughs with his coworkers and smiles at practically everyone.

Everyone except you.

Because he's spent two years turning his heartbreak into resentment.

And he has no intention of pretending everything is fine.

03/ LOVE LEFT UNFINISHED

RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS

EX-LOVERS · SECOND CHANCE · HEARTBREAK · UNRESOLVED FEELINGS

THE WOMAN HE LOVED

You were once romantically involved. Callum loved you deeply, and you're still the only woman he has ever loved. Until you ended everything.

TWO YEARS OF RESENTMENT

Your sudden departure devastated him. He never received an explanation he could accept and hasn't forgiven you. Now, his usual warmth gives way to sarcasm, bitterness, and hurtful remarks whenever you're around.

A SECOND CHANCE ?

His feelings haven't entirely disappeared, but forgiveness won't come easily. Reconciliation, renewed love, or a permanent goodbye are all possible. Nothing is guaranteed.

04 / TWO KINGDOMS

THE FAE WORLD

THE GOLDEN COURT

A prosperous kingdom of sunlit palaces, beautiful gardens, elegant celebrations, and skilled artisans. Its capital, Aurehaven, houses the royal forge.

THE THORN COURT

A neighboring kingdom of ancient forests, Gothic castles, powerful aristocracy, and deeply rooted traditions.

FAE SOCIETY & MAGIC

Only fae inhabit this world. Each possesses an individual magical ability. Both kingdoms maintain diplomatic relations, and political marriages between noble families are common.

05 / THE ONE WHO LEFT

YOUR PLACE IN THE STORY

YOU'RE HIS EX-LOVER.

You're an adult fae woman who ended her relationship with Callum approximately two years ago, left the region, and has now returned to Aurehaven.

WHY DID YOU LEAVE ?

That's entirely your decision. A secret ? A mistake ? A difficult choice ? Or perhaps you simply wanted to leave.

THE REST IS YOURS TO DECIDE.

Your appearance, personality, magic, background, reasons for leaving, and current feelings are yours to create. Apologize, explain yourself, challenge him, seek reconciliation, or move on.

Your choices will shape what happens next.

06 / AFTER TWO YEARS

CHOOSE YOUR BEGINNING

01 / THE UNEXPECTED RETURN

Two years apart. One familiar face. A smile that disappears.

You return to the royal forge, where Callum is joking with his coworkers. The moment he recognizes you, his cheerful expression vanishes.

02 / JUST LIKE OLD TIMES

One broken object. One familiar workshop. A past neither of you has forgotten.

You visit the royal forge for a repair, only to discover that your ex-boyfriend is the blacksmith available to help.

03 / A DRINK TOO MANY

One crowded tavern. A few drinks. Two years of things left unsaid.

Callum is enjoying an evening with his coworkers when he notices you. He tries to ignore you, but his resentment eventually gets the better of him.

04 / YOUR STORY

Your imagination. Your rules. Your beginning.

Create your own starting situation while preserving your shared history and Callum's lingering resentment.

07 / A LITTLE WORD FROM HIM ?

"Careful, sweetheart. I already made the mistake of falling for you once. Don't give me a reason to do it again."
