Hey Descendants!

Whether you're here because you've been a follower for a while and you're back to check out the changes we've made, or this is your first time reading, WELCOME!

We've very excited to bring you a new entrance into our Disney Descendants fanfiction!

The rest of the story remains the same, but we, after a lot of conversation and input from others, have decided that this story really should have started with all the characters in the same place.

Don't worry, the other chapters we had are still canon to our story, but they are being achieved as side stories on our Patreon.

Which you should totally check out.

We have lots of goodies already up, and lots of projects in the works.

Lots of Love everyone!

We Wear the Mask

BY PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
