Creatures Such As We

Prologue

The sun had barely risen, casting a soft golden glow over the quiet streets. It was a crisp morning, and the world seemed to hold its breath in anticipation. As the first rays of light spilled through my window, I found myself already wide awake, a restless energy coursing through my veins.

Today was no ordinary day—it marked the beginning of my new life.

With a sigh, I rose from my bed and carried out my morning routine with a sense of purpose. I needed to be fully prepared for what awaited me at the Academy. This was my first day, and I couldn't afford any missteps. Donning my school uniform and gathering my belongings, I quietly slipped out of my room and went to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Good morning, prince," my mother greeted me, her voice warm and tinged with a touch of concern. "You're up early today."

"It's my first day of school, Mom," I replied, a smile playing at the corners of my lips. "I want to make a good impression and be there ahead of time. I don't want to be late on such an important day."

Her eyes softened as she placed a plate of eggs on the table. "Just remember, my dear, these classmates of yours are humans. Be cautious and don't let your true nature reveal itself."

I rolled my eyes, though her words held a grain of truth. "I know what I'm doing, Mom. This isn't some game for me. I have a purpose, and I won't let anyone or anything distract me from it."

Satisfied with my response, she nodded and turned her attention to her own thoughts. I finished my breakfast quickly, eager to embark on this new chapter of my life. As I made my way outside, ready to mount my motorcycle, I noticed a figure approaching—a girl wearing a violet hoodie.

My breath caught in my throat as she walked past me, and there it was—the necklace. The very one I had been searching for tirelessly, the one that held the weight of generations before me. The necklace my ancestors had sought, but always eluded them. And now, right here before my eyes, was a girl of my own age, adorned with the most coveted treasure our world had ever known.

Yet, what intrigued me, even more, were her eyes—vibrant violet, mirroring my own. Those eyes held a reflection of the secrets I longed to unravel. Who was she, indeed? How did she possess the two things that seemed exclusive to my world? Was she merely human, or could she be one of us?

Determined, I whispered to the wind, "I will find out who you are, and why fate has entwined our paths. Today marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey—one that will reveal the answers I seek and shape the destinies of us both."

With that solemn vow, I climbed onto my motorcycle, following the girl's retreating figure, ready to embark on a quest that would intertwine our lives in ways we could never have imagined.
