Luz's POV

I didn't really know how but all I knew is that when I came here into this world all I thought that it was just a quick escape over everything shit that had happened to me back to where I am from but a lot of things happened, a lot of things that somehow helped me change from who I was when I came here before to the new me now.

Guessing it started way back before, back when I was just a messed up teenager. My name is Luz Noceda the only child of Roberto and Camila Noceda,my father was a well known scientist actually he is beyond more well known the others and my mom, Camila. She's a famous doctor but unfortunately she died due to giving birth to me.

It was honestly foreign to me to feel a mother's care since my dad, Roberto refused to remarried again. He was a stick man, merciless and is an egocentric, manipulating asshole and those aren't the only things I have to describe someone like him but anyways, he was the one who raised me and the one who robbed me from my childhood.

Roberto wasn't the best man to be described as a good father, he was worst. He was the reason why I never had friends because he forced me those beliefs he made up for himself thinking that the world only spin around him. He wanted me to be like him, he raised me to become like him and I was too blind to follow through that plan...through that path of life.

And I was that close, too close until an accident happened that changes everything in my life. I was 14 when it happened and there was this accident happened at the labs my dad was working, since I was the only one with my dad and basically had the knowledge to do what he was doing the accident was said to be sabotage and all were pointing their fingers at me and it was logical that I was there because my dad told me too and I hated my dad yes and wished he was never born some time in life but killing him? Destroying the life works he is doing to support my daily needs, wasn't that just too much to blame on a kid but before the authorities even come to me I fled, I fled immediately out of the scene slightly but painfully injured due to the explosion which where I caught the scar on my mouth.

I knew it wasn't my fault and there would people that would also believe that it wasn't, but those who do is who I feared and I couldn't help but actually blame myself over the accident, I basically returned back to the house me and my dad live in and just quickly grabbed the things I could get my hands on and stuffed them inside a bag and fled off not even bothering you drop off my school bag as all I could think of is to get away.

I run off by the back door and proceeded to dash towards the forest behind my house as I can hear a distant siren but I didn't turned back and just continue running and running and running until I felt my legs almost give up to how tired I was that was until I stumble upon this old house, cabin? And by the door something was glowing then I spotted an owl carrying this large trash bag as it entered that glowing thing.

And that's what lead me in this strange realm, called the Boiling Isles and everything happened, some are bad and good. I never believe in none logical things but then again this world is in nowhere near logic anymore, I learned the ancient way of doing magic, I fought an evil dictator, start a rebellion, lost an arm but won and overthrow the emperor, made a new arm and most of all I could get to experience what it felt likes to have a loving family.

But none of that erased the guilt I felt, the pain that is still existing in my chest, the kind of emptiness sometimes a family couldn't fulfill. They still barely knew anything about despite being in a one roof now, there is still a part of my life that I never told anyone but some of them are known by Eda who I see as my mother figure both won't dare say it out load.

I still sometimes feel disconnected with myself, I found it hard still too understand emotions, my emotions and feelings which made eye contact hard sometimes because I fear that if they look at it...I might be smiling but they would see the real emotions and feelings I'm hiding behind that is being show in my eyes.

I still felt like a stranger even with my own body I felt like an entire stranger, everything happened and I was never one of those who loved change before. I still found it hard to smile without them being empty, but...

Then I met her...by the playground as the sun begin to set and I decided to do a quick walk around the park I found her, she has a lavender colored haired and when she looked up at me I was greeted with a pair of wet amber eyes and I knew immediately what it was.

And I exactly knew how it feels to be in silence pain. There was no words and my body just move on its own, I sat down beside her pulling my knees close to me with my prosthetic arm and my arm the wasn't grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her close as i lay her head on my shoulder.

There was no word exchange as we just sat there comforting each other with our silence, she cried on my shoulder quietly and also I felt tears roll down my face but I didn't shiver nor tremble or made any sounds.

We just sat there, two completely strangers sat down there comforting one another with just our presence and it's surprisingly comforting especially the warmth we shared.

It was already dark when we both calm down and moved out of under the slides that surprisingly is a good hiding spot when you just wanna be alone. We stood there, no awkwardness in the air cause all just feel natural.

"Bye."she said first and just hummed in response and we both walked off, we both had the same neutral expression but for some reason we both felt better, emotionally and mentally.

How strange...
