    Summary

    She never hated monsters.

    She hated what they had become.

    Starved. Trapped. Forsaken by the very man who called himself their savior. When survival demanded a price, they paid it by consuming one of their own—Columbina—and the strength they gained came at a cost far darker than anyone could have imagined.

    For years living among them, Elia questioned their cruelty, their distrust of humans… until she was forced to witness every memory, every century of suffering that shaped them.

    And something inside her shattered.

    She understood why they no longer trusted humanity.
    She understood why she herself was not trusted.
    Her own kind revolted her.

    In her final moments, an unknown being offered her a deal she could not refuse… at a price.

    Now cast into the past, with only a single year to exist, Elia must decide:

    Can the past be rewritten?

    If she can save Columbina…
    Could she save them all?
    Even if it means she ceases to exist?...
    Even if she must become the very thing she despises… to ensure their survival?
