ONE:
Toe Fungus and WitchesTEN YEARS AGO...
"LOUIS, SLOW DOWN!" The fair haired boy trudging through the soiled, thick stalks of grass groaned for what had seemed like the one billionth time. Stopping for quick inhales of air before his lanky legs tried to carry him once more.
"Oh would you please hurry up, Sam? I really want to reach the witch in time. The suns almost setting!" The shorter boy replied, his steps more jumpy, excited. Energy radiating off each hop from logs to fallen branches that have broken off from tall trees.
Sam moved his blond hair, which was matted to his forehead, to the other side and huffed as he continued walking towards the Enchanted Forest.
"I don't know about this Lou," Fair Haired bit down on his bottom pink lip, letting out a loud yelp! and clinging onto his friend's arm as a caterpillar squirms on his ankle. "Oh my god I think it bit me. I feel ill!"
"You are not going to catch the plague by this little guy!" Louis coos as he picks up the caterpillar
"L-Louis! P-put it down! Don't chase me with it!"
You see, no one from where Louis and Sam are from are allowed to go inside the Enchanted Forest, it was far too dangerous for omegas like them.
There lived all the magical creatures of Stellarum right in that wide woodland area. Mischievous elves that can shoot arrows made of pine cones and sticks, fairies that smell of peppermint, banshees that scream like the sky had fell to their shoulders.
The forest had separated the great land of Stellarum into two: Mergunts and Aliums. Mergunts were those who held no power to magic or positions of the kingdom, as the Aliums did.
Being an omega was considered degrading or demeaning. Just a bottle for the alpha's pleasure and child carriers. They held no Important role in society whatsoever.
The Mergunt omegas were treated very poorly. Very, very poorly. While the Alium's lived in the Highlands of Stellarum, where there was fresh water and fertile land for agriculture, the Mergunts were left in the Lowlands. Aliums consisted of great alphas, skillful betas. Mergunts consisted of pitiful humans, left behind omegas.
The kingdom that Stellarum had above showed no sign of pity for the Mergunts, none at all. They were just bags of flesh left to rot.
Louis was in love with the magical world, despite the obvious hatred that radiated towards his kind. He was always interested in the stories about Griffins and Phoenixes.
He loved to hear about the Unicorns and Ogres, he loved magical creatures. Some would find him strange, for liking such ugly creatures like Sasquatches and Black Dogs, but he loved every creature in every form.
