. . . (Past is past. Future is future. The Present is who I am now.) BORN WITH UNUSUAL GREEN EYES AND BLACK WINGS. A CHILD OF A BEAST. HIDDEN FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD. Cyan just wanted to be normal and to be treated normal for her entire life. Unfortunately, she wasn't born fully human. Being like that, she didn't experience a normal life, in fear of getting found out by others. One afternoon, out for a walk, she encountered a woman, but she was someone who have the same green eyes and black wings as her. Also claiming to be someone who will take Cyan where she truly belongs. However, that was not only that. The woman told her that there were enemies that also want her for actually being the daughter of a General with unknown whereabouts, and a war between their own kind was brewing. A war that had stopped long ago and was starting again. In order to track her father who left her since birth and to keep her human mother safe from danger, she had no choice but to go with the woman. Now, she was caught with all the troubles she didn't know would come to her. TRIGGER WARNING/ CONTENT GUIDELINES: This story contains mild to strong language and deceptions of violence that may be triggering and not suitable for some readers.

Chapter 1| A Story Never To Be Told

Inky feathers flittered, raven hair tangled, and clothes rippled as the wind played with me. Sometimes it was gentle and consoling. Other times, it showed me violence. I held my ground before the expanse of the sea. Its mysterious and deep waters greeted me and the face of the cliff, sending waves upon its wake. Up above, my silent listeners remained watching. The full moon presented me with its mild light and crescent smile some days in a month, and the stars that dotted the dark-painted sky flickered and flickered. All of them beckoned me to leap into freedom as they always would. In response, I took a step back, a glance batted to the dark woods standing behind me, and I yanked myself off the restraints shackling me. I dropped along the side of the cliff, wings neatly folded until several meters before the surface of the sea. Wind gathered underneath my wings and successfully caught me from the fall. With a meeting wave of pelagic, I slapped the tip of the hilling wave and glid

Chapter 2| I Brought Home A Magical Woman

I pulled over in front of a two-story house and the notes of piano swimming in the night air made their way into our ears. It was one of Mom's—and mine even—ways to calm down, indulging ourselves in music. But I could feel the nervousness on the melody with the way Mom had hit a wrong note, stopping for a moment and then continuing in a slower tempo. Then she halted completely. She must be going down the stairs now that she had heard the purr of my motorbike die down. Despite that, I knew—I just knew that she at least had a stun gun hidden under her clothes right now. Or a gun. Bringing home a winged stranger claiming to help us wasn't trustworthy and I wouldn't just bring home someone. Yet, against those, I had brought home this woman who got off my bike like it was a donkey. Morris attempted to take the helmet off and I watched her struggle until she managed to unbuckle it. She passed it to me with a frown on her face. "Thank you for not telling me how to remove this thing," she s

Chapter 3| Welcome Crappy Home

❝𝕾𝖙𝖆𝖞𝖉 𝖈𝖑𝖔𝖘𝖊 𝖙𝖔 𝖕𝖊𝖔𝖕𝖑𝖊 𝖜𝖍𝖔 𝖋𝖊𝖊𝖑 𝖑𝖎𝖐𝖊 𝖘𝖚𝖓𝖑𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙.❞ We went up the tall building's rooftop. I walked until the edge and looked at Morris. She gave me a smile and took her jade necklace off, then put it inside her jade bracelet, where she had also put the corpses. I wonder how many dead bodies were in there? The cold night breeze brushed against my skin, playing a little with my tightly tied black hair in a high ponytail. I took off my bag and my emerald earring, then I felt my my wings emerged from where they were supposed to be. I flapped my wings, and put the earring in my bag and held tightly on its strap since I couldn't wear it with my wings out. Then, Morris asked me, "You ready, Cyan?" But before I could even utter a word, she jumped off the edge, and a moment later, she came zooming up into the night sky. Morris circled around, a few meters above me. "What are

Chapter 4| Through The Sea Of Stars

With Morris’ help, we moved tied up and moved the old man to the backseat with Mom. Then I took the driver’s spot and Morris moved to the front. I drove back to my house, and put everything back in place, my motorbike and the piano while mentally mourning for the car we left before the fight. Then tucked Mom into bed. With a gentle kiss on her forehead, I ripped my note from my sketchbook and used the sling bag as a paperweight. I could already imagine her anger once she woke up. I grabbed a few snacks to be eaten on the way—wherever we were going and brought them to Morris. “Why don’t you take a quick shower?” She asked with a small smile. “I mean, we might meet people immediately after getting to Luminozenko.” “Oh, I’m glad you said that.” I sighed and led her out of the room. “There’s another bathroom downstairs, so clean yourself, too. I’ll use the one in my room.” “Thank you.” She began climbing down the stairs as I rushed to my room and hopped in my bathroom. Thankfully, s

Chapter 5| Death The Inevitable, Life The Cruel

We rounded the street a little longer until we turned to another street much wider, but with fewer people walking around. Houses came into sight, some smaller than the others and some bigger. We walked for a good five minutes until we turned a corner and walked for a few more meters before we stopped in front of a two-story house. Morris knocked twice on the door and startled me with a shout. "Sir Bern! Delaney!" A few seconds later, I heard steady footfalls coming from the inside and answered a boy who looked my age. He had chin-length black hair and bangs that were slightly shorter, emerald eyes, and fair skin. His pair of wings were as black as mine, but they looked slightly bigger. Are men's wingspans bigger? I wondered. Well, I guess. "Mor, you're back." The boy smiled with a sigh, appearing relieved and happy. They pulled one another in a hug, patting each other's backs gently until it started to get harder and harder. Morris grunted and pulled away. "Hey, that hurt!" "You

Chapter 6| Let The Training Begin!

"Now that we've bought all the things you need, we shall begin your training," the High Lord said, making me almost choke on the ice cream crepe he gave me as he handed a bill to the vendor. "Keep the change," he told him and motioned at our group to get going, whilst the vendor thanked him repeatedly. Just how much was that bill that the vendor thanked him like that? I quickly chewed on the crepe and swallowed, wiping the corner of my mouth with my hand. "Right now, Sir?" "Yes," he answered with a simple nod. "Don't worry. We will just go through the basics of handling zerfara for now." "Oh, okay." I took another bite of the crepe and winced as the coldness of the ice cream crept on my teeth, yet continued munching. "But Sir, may I ask what kind of transportation devices are used in Luminozenko?" "Well, on land, the most common are carriages. We have several types of them, some are powered by magic and some are pulled by horses." the High Lord explained. "In Winacellu, where most

Otherwise, enjoy reading. "That would be thirteen lums," said the lady behind her stand and extended me a stick of candied strawberries. I fetched my wallet from my satchel and parted the black veil attached to my bamboo hat to give her the exact price of the food. "Thank you," I mumbled and carefully received the stick, closing the gap of the veil with my other hand. I turned and started walking away, taking a bite from one of the candied strawberries. It crunched with such a crisp sound and the sweetness was just right for my taste. I scanned the other food stands through my black veil, but none had really caught my attention and the crepe maker wasn't here today. I just hummed, munching on my snack, and looked around to see if any stores would interest me, but ended up spotting some others also wear

Chapter 8|The Rise Of The Nutcracker

TRIGGER WARNING This chapter contains mentions of blood and violence, which may not be suitable for some readers. Discretion is advised and stay safe. Otherwise, enjoy reading. "You two ready for your Exam?" Sir Bernard asked a couple of Examinees with him, stepping inside a huge arena. Parting the veil of her hat, Cyan's lime eyes darted around, and grimaced at the sight of the crowd already gathered at the venue, which resembles a sports coliseum. Seats circled the wide and empty space, but the field wasn't green and grassy. Instead, it was covered with sand and dust, and no lines were drawn. It reminded her of the Roman Gladiators Arena she had imagined from scenes in books, watched from movies, and seen on the internet back on Earth. It made her hands tremble in excitement and nervousness, to finally step foot—no, fight in a place like this. "Cyan," sang Morris beside her and gave her a nudge. Cyan faced her, brows lifting. "Sir Bern asked if you're ready for your Exam." "

Chapter 9| Sheesh, Okay, Go Slay

TRIGGER WARNING This chapter contains violence and blood which may not be suitable for some readers. Discretion is advised and stay safe. Otherwise, enjoy reading. Delaney patted her back. "May the Gods bless you." "I hope." Cyan put her hat down on her chair and glided to the center of the arena, landing a few meters before her opponent—a young man with short, sky-blue hair, receiving a spear from a teacher. "I don't want to hurt a girl, but I hope you'll give me a good time, Belladonna," said the guy in a mocking voice, flamboyantly running his hand through his hair. "After all, you're that Glory's daughter." Cyan put up a smile and scratched her cheek, glancing at the watcher levitating near them before bringing her gaze back to her foe. "I may be General Killian's daughter, but please don't overestimate me." A smile crept up Cyan's opponent's lips and spun his spear in delight, watching Cyan receive a zerfara with the thought running through his mind: Such a wimp. She's onl
