Selescte Origins

Birds Who Are Pets, Must Have Their Wings Clipped

I've met a lot of people ever since I've begun to stay here. More people live here than I thought, but it still gets lonely at times.

Seline, the one I consider an older sister to me.. She's brave, tough, kind, what else? Strong? Every one of those categories doubled. Seline looks out for me, even if I act like a lost puppy all the time.

Khaelas is more.. Scary. I've never actually talked to- him? Her?? I have no idea what gender Khaelas is. But all I know is that they are stern and dislike so-called 'useless' people, which.. I fit in that category right now.

And more people, but I never really.. Talk with anyone. I've accepted the fact that i'm shy and introverted, but I honestly wish I wasn't. I want to be able to talk to people without constant fear of being judged, It isn't fair.

I am not used to being pampered- to being spoiled.

And I don't think I'll ever get used to it, honestly.

"Boy, dinner will be ready in a minute, see your way to the dining room as soon as you can." Khaelas said while holding back the urge to roll his eyes in annoyance.

KHAELAS POV

I hold back the urge to roll my eyes while saying this, because this kid is getting spoiled rotten by Sapphire. When I had met Sapphire, I was thought of as unimportant, a mere servant who works for him. But this dirty, street kid could get praised without even lifting a finger? It's revolting. Jealousy swelled up inside me, but I held all that back and kept a calm smile on my face. "It seems you aren't doing anything, so run along over now." I say, letting a rude tone slightly slip out. Darn, Sapphire is not gonna be happy about that if this kid tells on me.

The boy makes his way out and Khaelas follows behind him, telling him when he's going the wrong direction and snapping at him to not touch anything that was even remotely expensive. Once they arrived at the dinner table, Sapphire was already waiting. He sat on the end of the long table, and the boy- Selescte's seat was next to Sapphires near the end.

"Ah, there you are! Come have a seat." The man called out, inviting Selescte to sit next to him. "Now, I do have something to discuss with you. If that's alright with you of course." He straightened his back, sitting up more as the boy walked over and sat down.
"Oh, of course- what is it?" The boy asked, and the man took a second before answering.
"I would like to give you two choices here, since.. You sadly cannot stay in this house until you agree to something." He looked into the boys eyes directly. "You are talented. And so I will give you two offers. If you would like to stay in this house, you'll have to sign a contract that means you are staying with us, and let us train you to fight as a member of our organization. We focus on helping the people of this world." He explained, then began to talk again. "Or, we could give you enough money for you to live alone in your own home that we will supply you with." He finished.
The boy stayed silent, considering his options here,
"So, what will it be?" Said the man.
"..You help people here?"
"Yes, in our own way."
".. Then I'll stay." The boy said firmly, making his choice. He wanted to help people, to help the world become a better place.

The man passed him a contract, and the boy signed it before looking up to see the man- Sapphire grinning.

"Splendid. Welcome to the Dawn Of Angels, Selescte."
