"Sornac has to train to kill the enemy, he must save our village." Sed says anxiously

"We cannot accept 3 year olds!" The Receptionist quips

"Sornac is physically and mentally twelve!" Sed shouts "But he's only three!" The Military School Receptionist refusing to take their son says. "I'm sorry, Sed, we cannot take him he's too young." The receptionist says with a slight pout on his face.

"I swear it is this boy's destiny to save our village!" Sed says angrily his three eye sockets twitching and sad. "I will show you. You'll have to accept him, SORNAC GET IN HERE." They shout.

Sornac walks in at a slow awkward pace. "Hi, my name Is Sornac, I'm thr-twelve years wold!" He says with a quaint lisp. "I have see in da dark eyes, wazow sharp claws and bright blue skin! Sed says It's wike the sky!"

"That's cute kid, we still cannot accept you."

Sornac can tell he's not being taken seriously and gets mad. "Sed?" Sornac asks with a misshapen smile. "Yes, my child?" Sed asks. "Tuwn off the lights..." Sed does as asked and flips the switche turning the lights off.

The Receptionist is very confused and doesn't get what's happening suddenly two bright pink eyes appear in front of him and he feels the tightening of a big strong tail around his throat, his face turns purple as he watches the child's eyes light up as if he had a big smile on his face, razors shift lightly out of the tail and cuts into his throat, before any real damage is done Sornac lets go and Sed turns back on the lights.

"As you can see my child is already well trained and could easily join your School, it's either that or he kills you, what will it be?" Sed says with a big grin on their face. "Fine, Sornac can join the School..."

"You wiwll not regwet this sir!" Sornac says saluting the man.


After Sornac turned "twelve" he started aging like a human, he wasn't the top of his class and some un-Borne were better than him. He felt like a failure, he kept mostly to himself and actively kept away from most, one person caught his eye for the last two years, when he turned fourteen he gained his courage.

She was a girl with emerald eyes her black pupils a reminder of himself, she was beautiful, he wanted to be hers, so for the first time in two years he got up and went to speak with her. "Hello, Ma'am, my name is Sornac." He reaches out his hand to shake hers and get a feel of her bright orange skin.

She shakes his hand "Charmed, I'm Taires." She says with a light accent. "You have nice eyes." He blurts out and thinks "FUCK, I FUCKED UP." to himself. "Thanks, you have nice feathers, I swear you didn't have those until last year, right?" She asks with innocent curiosity. "Yeah, I got them when I hit puberty." She stares at his bright red feathers. "They're cute!" Sornac blushes, his scales turning red.

"It's my birthday, can you... be my birthday gift...?" he asks romantically, she hesitates "Of course Sornac, you're the most handsome boy in School.".......

"Sornac?" Taires asks... "Are you okay?" Sornac realizes he was daydreaming and says "the bathroom!" and scampers back to his lunch table. She stares across the room at him... not going to the bathroom. "I'm never talking to a girl again." Sornac says bashing his head into the lunch table.
