Around The Crown

CHAPTER 6.

The sun has begun to settle down, letting the moon shine and the stars dance in the night sky. Hearing the water splashing and the birds were no more singing, instead the grasshopper's were having their moment to be heard.

Within the huge white palace, with so many rooms to choose from and so many gardens to visit where many forest creatures are hiding within it, the palace strangly ramined silent. As a matter of fact, it has always been quiet, day or night, always the same. Thus, this night was no different, as everybody went to sleep as the night became more dark, in one room the light still shined, just like the stars. The light was coming from one of the small thower's where they usually plant unique and beautiful flowers , as this one was no exeption. Futhermore, in the garden where a wooden bench was, Cassie and Alsephina were sitting and arguing because Alsephina won't stay still as Cassie is trying to stitch her wounds up.

-„ Ouch! Can't you do it slower? You're going to rip my skin even more open!"- said Alsephina with a frouning voice, as she moves her body trying to dodge Cassie's needle, annoying her even more.

-„ Don't say stuff like that. It's disgusting."- replied Cassie, helding Alsephina as she tried to get away from her needle.

Those words made Alsephina ask Cassie why would she be disgusted when she sees those kind of things almost everyday, and some days are even grosser then the previous ones. Cassie simply replied it's because it feels different every time she does it, and those words bring exact emotions back whenever she does it again. Alsephina letted out a chuckle and told Cassie why would she care about something she never had, as for a Nuakh emotions are pointless. Hearing those words from her younger sister made Cassie upset, so she quickly wrapped it up and finished stitching her and as she put some protection on it she slapped her directly where her injuries were, making her scream in agony without a tear. Cassie started to make her way to the door, however she stopped and looked at Muhannad who had his tail around his partner who slept thightly, another hell hound, named Dithebe.

-„ One day...I hope one day you'll understand them."- after that she was gone, she just stormed out the door leaving Alsephina confused and still in pain.

Alsephina didn't know what to make out of it, as she only knows her sister can't take the truth very seriously as they're not humans or any other species on this world.

They carry the name „Nuakh" as they are the children of Heavenly beings, named after the first people on Earth, Adam and Eve, who wanted to give humans some sort of hope or even peace. Thus ,Nuakh's were not born, they were created, created in a form of a star whose task is to land on the Earth and let a Mother Nature make them into the most beautiful and powerful beings, who could not age or die from the certain things from which human usually do.

There are twelve types, selected into four elements, and each of those elements had it's traits. Fire and water had diamond for a heart, and a star for a brain. Air and earth had a star for a heart, and a diamond for a brain. A diamond heart meant empathic, they could show mercy, but never love. Star heart meant cold heart, making them care about the given task, not other people. Being the smart beings as they are, they can quickly addapt to certain enviroments or things due for their given instincts from Mother Nature and as for learning a new language or a new skill were a given gift from their parents, however there is a problem. Nuakh's may be attractive and intelligent creatures, however they're not the same as other creatures. They don't understand the concept of a emotion, they can't understand it since it's forbbiden for them. The only reason they were created was to help humans, elfs or any other humanoid beings to do good. Just a weapon who follows the orders to satisfy their masters.

That's what Alsephina is, and the rest of her eleven siblings. Although they respect one another, they don't show the love siblings usually share, nor the care. Weirdly, Cassie seems to care the most about her siblings, some respect that like Yua and some like Alsephina don't, because it's unnatural to them. Thus, as the morning came, the lords spread the message for every of their Nuakh's to gather around in the meeting room as per some disagreements were exchanged among them.
