Summary
**Previously titled "There’s A Lot to Say About Bruno"**
Everyone gathered in the village square to celebrate. The entire place bustled with people and was filled with fantastic food, fast music, and even faster dancing. The very first La Fiesta de Las Velas was being held to honor the return of the Encanto's gift, but Bruno felt like anything but a gift.
His reputation around town hadn’t been good before, and now it was shaky at best. He was still greeted with wary eyes and whispers wherever he went, and constantly felt like he was one misstep away from being vilified again. He didn’t think he could handle all that a second time over.
That was, until he met you.
By your side, Bruno felt like he could accomplish anything.

Summary
When the matriarch of the royal family, Alma Madrigal, passed away unexpectedly, Bruno was forced to inherit the throne. The leader of a nation was the last thing he wanted to be, but he had no choice. It was his mother’s last gift to him—a final insult to add to years of injury.
So, Bruno Madrigal became what the townspeople, what his mother, expected him to be.
However, reigning terror can be lonely business. Bruno's solution? Send for all the young and pretty ladies in his country to be sent to the palace, and pick a bride from the unfortunate women that arrive.
Only one test stood in the way of the the King's potential wives and being trapped in a cold, unloving marriage—dinner.

Summary
“Long ago, a young girl went with her mother to pick berries for her father who was hard at work. But the forest greeted them with a dark, cold silence, the bushes empty. Yet, determined to find the berries, the rascal broke free from Mother's grasp and vanished into the trees.”
The girl quickly became lost in the maze of the dark forest. Unable to find her way back, she ventured deeper, through thick bushes and past skeletal trees. Eventually, she came upon three lords: a bat, a weaver, and a fish. The three lords gave the girl gifts to protect her along her journey.
“Continuing on, she soon entered the forest's dark heart. Then an Iron Steed appeared, bearing a beautiful, golden gear. The creature said nothing as the girl approached… and snatched what she thought was another gift. The horse grew angry and summoned the other monsters. Terror filled the girl's heart as a wild wind rose about the beasts. Suddenly, a witch appeared-dark, yet regal.”
“Gifts we gave, but more you took,” she snarled. “So more, in turn, is due.” In a blink, the girl was trapped inside a mirror.
That girl was you.

//ATTENTION! THIS WORK IS CURRENTLY: being rewritten. THERE WILL BE NO NEW UPDATES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Thank you for your patience.//
Moving to Chicago seemed like a good idea. For a graphic artist, the city provides boundless inspiration and unique opportunities, being the main ctOS hub of interconnectivity. However, all that complex technology provides hackers with a wide-open window to exploit the new and unstable digital infrastructure. What starts off as minor frustration over losing your precious art files quickly spins out of control as you find yourself embroiled in the shady underworld of the “Windy City”.
