Of Fear and Faith	comment	Of Fear and Faith is a Web Serial Novel hosted on FurAffinity and written by Silver Wolf that focuses on the themes of, well, fear and faith, using characters borrowed from various users on FurAffinity.The plot starts off with August and Phenix being approached by mysterious talking animals (Vatra and Noble) that offer the two a chance to accompany them on a journey. They won't say where they're going or how they'll get there, only that the two men will find their destinies on the path, an offer which neither of them can refuse, despite all logic and reason warning them against it.Other characters join the group along the way (usually at Vatra's insistence), including North, a religious man who is one of very few to still believe in God; Elin, a bubbly Cat Girl with deep-seated emotional scars; Aiden, a self-centered Ladykiller in Love; Lilac, a shy, submissive girl who's in love with Aiden; Tel, a brave young idealist; and Kavik, a cool and confident Blood Knight.The story focuses primarily on the eight main characters and their Character Development as they fight against the Nichts, demonic creatures that have reduced most of the world to a wasteland; the Voices, powerful demons that can manipulate the minds and senses of people; and the Disciples, the military organization that keeps what's left of the world in order through whatever means necessary.The story can be read on the author's blog here.

It’s unknown what they were planning on doing with them once they were summoned, but it most certainly wasn't anything that would contribute to society.

Of Fear and Faith / int_19d1c1ae	comment	Always Someone Better: Phenix feels that North is this to him. North doesn't see it that way, but Phenix feels some resentment over it. This comes to a head after North convinces the Disciples in the Fortress of the Damned to follow him after a single Rousing Speech after Phenix had tried for three straight chapters to accomplish the same feat with fairly dismal results at the end of Falling In the Black.

Of Fear and Faith / int_b11ac9f5	comment	Abusive Parents: Lilac's mother is verbally and emotionally abusive to an almost hilariously disturbing degree. She's an utter narcissist who insults Lilac with almost every sentence that leaves her mouth without even noticing. August and Scarlet's (step)parents were both abusive. Their father hit Scarlet (and, it's implied, August as well), and their mother sexually abused August.

With Scarlet, it's much more ambiguous, as she does seem to flirt with him but she may just be teasing him to make him uncomfortable (according to August, she even flirted with him when they were kids, so make of that what you will).
