My Revelation {Mikayuu}

Yielding. [2]

My eyes opened, but remained half lidded as I coughed, salt water burning my throat as it came out through my mouth. I took in my surroundings with a weary gaze. I felt water seeping into my leather shoes, waves at my feet. The sun was blinding, an uneven slice through the white clouds in the sky, as if something had went through them.

To my right were two green eyes staring at me in curiosity, two fingers that were on my neck previously launching away. He reacted as if I was going to electrocute him. My tired and drooping gaze remained on his for some time. I stared down at my right hand, which was laying in the sand. I had a silver slave bracelet on. A simple silver band and bracelet with no gem. A large ruby was in the middle of the back of my hand, silver lining it to keep it safe. The gem glistened in the sunlight as I stared at it.

The gem seemed to call to me.

I do not know why.

I don't know many things, honestly.

Such as how I had ended up washed up on a beach like a tangled sea creature.

Or who this boy was.

He didn't seem dangerous.

I suddenly felt exhausted.

So, I decided to sleep, drenched in sea water and sand.

I put some trust in this mysterious boy.

That he wouldn't harm me.

The United Continents
Didn't get along a while back.
They shoved this aside, formed a truce.
For the common enemy.
For something they didn't understand.
Something they didn't want to understand.
They fought them.

'They' stayed at bay.

'They' didn't want trouble.

Earth elected monarchs.
A queen of Africa
A king of Europe
A royal family of Russia
A princess for Asia
A king for South America,
And his Queen for North America.
A government remained in Canada.
The List goes on.

That was years ago.

The system remained.
The Monarchs took in governors.
They took in advisors.

The titles passed on through each family.
They all feared those in the sky.

For they held power.
A power that humans did not possess.

They had no name for themselves.

Earth gave them a title.
It was seen as a mocking name.
But they stayed silent about it.

Whatever you may know them as
Be it Demon, Angel, Wind spirits,
They do have a title among us humans.

Although they are not fond of it,
We needed a term to refer to them as.

It was the only thing of that time that did not change.

After years of war,
The two lands made an agreement.
A truce.

Neither of them would visit the other.
A wall was formed that none could see.
The humans lived luxurious lives.
They mocked those above them.

They hated 'them'.

We were envious of what they had.

As is common knowledge.
We are greedy, after all.
