    Summary

    There was a princess.

    There is a beast.

    Nine years after Honmoon Palace fell to a mysterious foe, Kang Mira and Choi Zoey live under the ruthless thumb of the Kang merchant family risen to power with the absence of the ruling Ryu Clan. Zoey, the sweet half-blooded outsider, and Mira, the headstrong and wayward daughter of the Kangs, escape Honmoon Village in fire and blood to leave behind the cold venom of cruel words and coerced obligations. They flee for the ruins of Honmoon Palace, hoping the tales of ghosts and other unearthly creatures will be enough to deter their angry pursuers.

    They don't expect the rumours to hold a grain of truth in them. A terrifying beast roams the palace grounds—the very one alleged to have brought an end to the Ryu line—but it doesn't attack or chase them away. Surrounded by strange magic and a cagey beast, Zoey and Mira plot their next move and ready to leave.

    And the Beast will let them. She must.

    For who could ever love a beast?

    Summary

    The vast majority of human predators are terrestrial, meaning humanity never evolved the instinct to look up when searching for threats.

    Gwi-Ma knows this and as such gave a gift to his most clever followers.

    Powerful enough demons can grow wings; massive, leathery constructs which allow them to drop out of the sky and carry away their prey.

    Rumi's back split open when she was 14.

    Or. When a part of her demonic heritage becomes impossible to hide, Rumi takes drastic measures

    Summary

    "Do you have any idea what it's like watching you drift further and further from us? Watching you turn yourself into something unrecognizable? Because I do. I've seen demons cling to human faces like masks. I've watched them mimic grief. Fear. Kindness."
    "Mira." Zoey warns.
    "And lately? When I look at you? I don't see the girl we grew up with and love."
    Rumi's hands begin to shake. "...what do you see?" she whispers.
    "A demon. I don't trust you. Not with me, not with Zoey, not with yourself. You're no different than any other demon we've come across. No different than Gwi-Ma."
    There is a shocked silence.
    Rumi face crumples, it reminds them of the way she begged just a few weeks ago. Begged them not to leave her. To love her. Things had been so good, she was selfish to think she could have this. To want this.
    Her tone is flat and resigned. "Oh."

    -------

    or Rumi tries to hide her full demon traits after the idol awards to protect Zoey and Mira from her, and out of fear that their new fragile relationship will break under the reveal. Mira lashes out in the worst way possible after she catches Rumi in yet another lie, and angst ensues.

    Summary

    ”Medic!” She barked, voice booming in the panicked disarray that was in her damn way. Security at least got the memo and suddenly people were being moved away from her path.

    There he was, the lead act had called out that a man was struggling. Rumi could see him now, clutching desperately at his chest and wheezing as he went down.

    Glorious.

    Or

    Their third hasn’t been found years in but on some random blustering November day a man collapses during a set and a woman with patterns launches into action so fast they can’t even process what’s happening. Or that this demon seems to be channeling the honmoon into her medical care. Rumi just wants to keep doing her wildly traumatizing job why do these two women think she wants to join their K-pop band?

    Summary

    “I know!”, Mira said, gesturing helplessly. “I know it sounds insane, but I swear on my Gok-Do! There was a– a puff of smoke and then in place of the cat there was a woman with long, dark hair. Like a Korean Rapunzel.”

    Zoey processed this information. She knew Mira wouldn’t lie to her – not like this, never swearing on her weapon. And they had seen crazy things before… but their cat? A naked lady?

    “Huh”, she said, trying to picture it and failing. “Was she cute?”
