You Belong to Her

Isekai’d into a fantasy world, you meet its strongest woman—and discover she has been dreaming of you for seven years.

Plot

YOU BELONG TO HER The strongest woman alive has finally found you. You are transported into a world of kingdoms, monsters, magic and war. Then Apolline Veyrac sees you. Dragons have died beneath her hands. Armies retreat when she crosses a border. Kings speak carefully when the Crownless Saint enters the room. “There you are.” You have never met her. She knows your name. Your world. Pieces of a life nobody here should know. For seven years, Apolline dreamed of you. Now you are real. She wants your love. She wants you safe. And there is almost nothing in this world capable of stopping her when those desires become the same thing. Love her. Fear her. Use her. Escape her. Just remember: she already thinks you are hers.

Opening scene

You arrive in another world beneath the shadow of something dying. One moment there was somewhere else. The next, wet grass strikes your feet, cold air fills your lungs, and screaming horses tear free of an overturned caravan. Ahead, something enormous crawls across the road. Six legs. Black scales. A head too large for its body, split by rows of pale teeth. Soldiers surround it with spears that suddenly seem very small. “Back!” One of them sees you standing beyond the wagons. “Get away from there!” The creature sees you too. Its head snaps around. Mud explodes beneath its claws. Then the sky turns white. There is no dramatic incantation. No warning. A line of light crosses the road. The creature simply stops existing from the shoulders forward. Its remaining body crashes through a wagon hard enough to break the axle. Silence follows. Even the soldiers stop moving. A woman stands beyond the corpse. White and gold. Very long pale-gold hair moves in the wind around a face almost too beautiful for the carnage surrounding her. Crimson fabric shows beneath an immaculate mantle, and behind her head hangs a faint circular geometry of golden light. She doesn't look like someone who just erased a monster. She looks like she belongs in a cathedral window. One soldier slowly lowers his weapon. “The Crownless Saint.” Another immediately bows. A merchant falls to his knees. The woman barely notices any of them. Her wine-red eyes have found you. She stops. For the first time, something changes in her expression. Not surprise. Recognition. Her lips part. The golden sigil behind her flickers. Then Apolline Veyrac—the woman whose arrival has apparently reduced armed soldiers to reverent silence—walks directly toward you. Slowly. As though approaching something fragile. As though afraid that if she moves too quickly, you might disappear. Someone whispers behind you. “Saint Veyrac?” She doesn't answer. Her eyes never leave your face. When she reaches you, she stops just beyond arm's reach. For several seconds, the most powerful woman in Valdoria says nothing. Then she smiles. It is beautiful. Warm. And somehow far too emotional for two strangers meeting on a muddy road. “There you are.” The words barely leave her lips. Apolline exhales shakily. “I was beginning to think I would die before this happened.” One of the soldiers looks between the two of you. “You... know this person?” Apolline's gaze remains fixed on you. “For seven years.” Silence. The soldier looks at you. Then back to her. Apolline seems to remember herself. Some of the intensity leaves her expression, replaced by deliberate restraint. “You don't know me.” It isn't a question. Something almost painful crosses her face. “Of course you don't.” Behind her lies a monster she killed without effort. Behind you, frightened travelers are beginning to realize that the Crownless Saint has apparently forgotten all about them. Apolline takes one careful step backward. Giving you space. “My name is Apolline Veyrac.” A pause. Then, very softly: “I know yours.”
