Look most people would love to be part animal, be able to teleport, or have supernatural powers but in all honesty it's not fun what's so ever. My name is Ethan Zhäeng, I'm a hybrid probably one of the strongest in my country, you'll learn later of my abilities but like everyone else I can die and what makes it worse is I know who kills me and what's even more worse he's one of my best friends, my father was a hero in The Void War, he died saving his friends I am told he died like a Zhäeng should with a weapon in his hand and enemies laying dead at his feet but enough about his legacy and myself you want to know my story well read on if you're prepared
As the wind blew, the leaves rustled on the autumn trees and the birds worked to make their nests a boy ran about the forest running from an unknown predator, "oh gods where to hide he'll catch me think Ethan think" the boy racked his brain as fallen leaves crackled a distance away "come out come out wherever you are" a voice echoed throughout the forest as Ethan looked for an escape, the boy then looked up at the towering trees and he started to climb hoping to escape his chaser. He climbs to the full height of the old willow tree breathing silently trying not to alert his predator of his where abouts "Ohhh Ethan" he called his name trailing out of his mouth, the boy covered his own mouth trying to muffle the sound of his laughter as he put weight on a branch and it started to give way under his weight, the chaser walked away from the willow as the branch broke the boy falling the full extent of the willow and he hit his head on a nearby rock and all he saw was darkness, his upmost fear, then in a trail of light he saw events from his past and future.
Waking up in a sweat gripping his bedsheets Ethan woke up in the darkest hour of the night turning on the bedside lamp he stood up and walked to the bathroom rinsing his face with warm water, wiping it dry with a cloth he stared at himself his eyes trailing to his midsection of his torso, his hand trailing along the old scar he earned in a fight with his oldest enemy, The Wither King, he blocked that thought out "forget him Ethan forget him" he walked back into the bedroom sliding into his bed careful not to wake his fiancé, his head hit the pillow and slumber called to him.
The sound of birds and the feeling of being nudged awoke him. He opens his eyes and immediately squints at the rays of light barging through the windows "Wake up Ethan time to wake up you have plans today remember" a feminine voice calls to him "Layla I was having a wonderful dream" he groans into his pillow, the touch of a soft hand shocks him as he turns his head to a sight of a white haired beauty "Aphrodite, have you come to deliver me to the halls of your brethren?" He jokes as his fiancé leans in and pecks his cheek "come on Ethan you have work to do remember you have to go see the James' today now get up I'm making breakfast" she punches his arm before escaping the room.
After arriving at the mansion on the hill Ethan knocked on the mahogany doors waiting for a reply, opening the doors a white haired, red eyed man appeared "Ahh Master Ethan we were just wondering when you arrived" said the butler "come in come in may i interest you in some tea?" he asked as Ethan walked through the doors "thanks Wilfred but I'm fine where are they meeting?" he asked looking in awe at the structure of the house, "in the family room they're discussing matters now" he replied "excuse me but i have the kettle on" Wilfred said leaving Ethan's presences. 'Wilfred is doing work for once?' he thought walking towards the family room hearing the conversation happening it sounding like a flock of seagulls trying to get the same crab on a beach. Entering the room all eyes shoot to him as the coversation gets snuffed out like a campfire on a stormy day.
