Korsha's a mage. Born with the blessing of the Third Daughter. A hundred and fifty years ago she'd be harbored as saint in the making. Unfortunately, the Third Daughter goes by a more infamous name now: The Betrayer. Now Korsha lives in service to the Imperial Goddess, acting as one of her many Imperial Binders. As a binder she uses her talents to bind spirits in order to, as her master puts it, give them purpose. Venturing across interstellar space as well as the underworlds of Keshkigal, Korsha will do anything to ensure she redeems herself within the goddess's eyes by serving her master. Yet she's made many mistakes, failed her master numerous times. Above all else, there is one choice, one moment of disobedience that haunts her to this day. It lingers like an embedded knife of guilt whose wounds have long sense healed over. But after someone nearly kills her master and frames her for it, Korsha is forced to travel back to the very place where she failed most. There she will face the incarnation of her guilt. Now caught between the desires of her master and her spirit guardian, Korsha will have to unravel the threads of conspiracy that now surround her. Lest she become bound in them.

Little did Police Lieutenant Ronald McKenzie know the consequences of his investigating the city's latest incident of urban violence. But then, no one would have. After all, who would have thought one would encounter Autobots and Decepticons, much lessanticipate what would happen to him afterwards. Some Notes: (1) This is a fanfic based on the Transformers franchise. The plot elements are from the Transformers movies, the original cartoon show, the Japanese cartoons and the comics. No declaration of ownership, direct or indirect, is claimed. This is a not-for-profit fanfic. (2) The story has also taken liberties with the Transformers characters, storyline and story elements. I hope that's okay with all of you. Think of this as Transformers on an alternate Earth. (3) The graphics here are collages of publicly-accessible material. No. I.P. infringement is intended.
