MidReal Story

Soulmates

Laila Zolina

Scenario:Core Conflict: Liam, the newly-turned werewolf, is thrust into a world he doesn't understand at all. He's completely unprepared for the supernatural academy and its strict hierarchy. His accidental imprinting on Caius, his alluring and powerful vampire teacher, ignites a forbidden desire and sets off a chain of events that challenge the very fabric of the supernatural world. Because this imprinting is viewed by the school as something like a mating bond they are forbidden to act on it and are constantly fighting their feelings for each other to protect themselves, and each other, from being kicked out of the school and rejected by both of their communities. Plot Points: The Accidental Transformation: Liam's life is normal (or as normal as an orphan's life can be) until a seemingly random event triggers his werewolf curse. He's terrified and lost, drawing the attention of the supernatural school, Veritas Academy. Arrival at Veritas Academy: Liam is enrolled. He quickly discovers that he is completely out of his league, struggling to understand the rules, the magic, and the social dynamics of the supernatural world. The Imprint: During a particularly harrowing class led by Caius, Liam's latent werewolf instincts surge, leading to an accidental imprint. He doesn't understand what he's done, but Caius immediately recognizes the implications. Forbidden Desire: Both Liam and Caius are drawn to each other, but the power dynamic and the school's strict rules make a relationship impossible. Their attempts to resist only intensify their feelings. Discovery and Judgment: Headmaster Valerius, a powerful mage, discovers their connection. He believes that this relationship is a threat to the school and the ancient laws that govern the supernatural world. The Soulmate Trials: Instead of outright expulsion (which would likely lead to Liam's death and scandal for Caius), Valerius proposes a series of Trials. These trials, reminiscent of ancient tests for soulmate compatibility, are designed to push the pair to their limits, physically and emotionally. If they succeed, the school will grudgingly accept their bond. If they fail, they will be separated, with potentially devastating consequences. Near-Death Experiences: The Trials are brutal. Liam's inexperience and Caius's reluctance to fully unleash his power due to his age make them vulnerable. They face magical traps, monstrous creatures, and their own inner demons. Triumph and Acceptance: In the end, Liam and Caius overcome the Trials, proving the depth of their connection and their willingness to sacrifice for each other. The school community, initially resistant, begins to accept their relationship. They become symbols of change and acceptance within the supernatural world. Epilogue: Liam and Caius navigate their new life together, facing the challenges of an interspecies relationship and working to bridge the gap between the werewolf and vampire communities. They use their experience to advocate for greater understanding and acceptance within the supernatural world, especially for individuals who are different or marginalized.Liam: A young, inexperienced werewolf, naive and struggling to control his powers. He's kind-hearted but easily overwhelmed by the supernatural world. His orphan background makes him crave connection and belonging. Caius: A centuries-old vampire, posing as a teacher.

Liam

He is a young werewolf newly aware of his supernatural heritage. He is innocent, naive, and overwhelmed. Struggling to understand his new powers and the supernatural world, he finds himself at Veritas Academy. There, he encounters Caius, a centuriesold vampire teacher. Despite their forbidden attraction, they are drawn to each other and must navigate their intense desire while fighting against the academy's strict rules and the dangers of discovering their true nature.

Caius

He is a vampire teacher at Veritas Academy. He is elegant, intelligent, and burdened. Caius has lived for centuries, accumulating knowledge and power but also loneliness. He is initially wary of Liam and attempts to resist the pull of their inevitable connection. As they spend more time together, he begins to see Liam through his eyes and becomes drawn to his innocence and purity. Their forbidden attraction complicates their lives further as they face the academy's disapproval.

Headmaster Valerius

He is the powerful mage overseeing Veritas Academy. He is strict, traditional, and enigmatic. Valerius is concerned with maintaining order and tradition at the academy. He views Liam and Caius's relationship as a threat and proposes the Soulmate Trials as a means to test their compatibility. His motivations seem dual, aiming to preserve order while potentially hiding a personal stake in the matter. His presence looms over the narrative, driving the plot forward.

I was just an average guy, living a boring life.

I had no idea I was a werewolf until I turned during a full moon.

And, of course, I had no idea how to control myself when I transformed.

So, when I accidentally ran into the school for ‘problem’ supernatural creatures, I was scared and disoriented.

I didn’t know what I was looking at or how I got there.

And then I saw him… my teacher, Caius.

He’s a vampire, centuries old, and he’s posing as a teacher at this school.

I had no idea what he was until my wolf sensed him and alerted me.

I was even more confused and scared.

But when he looked at me with his piercing gaze, I felt like he could see right through me.

Like he knew all my secrets.

And maybe he did… because he knew exactly what I was.

After that first class, I didn’t see him again until the next day.

I was sitting in the common room, trying to make sense of everything that happened the day before, when he walked in.

I immediately knew it was him… even though he looked different.

He had been wearing casual clothes and a mask the day before to protect himself from the dirt and dust in the abandoned school building they used for our lesson.

Now, he was dressed in elegant formal clothes… and no mask.
