100 Years Later...
Of course it had to be me. Just typical really. I mean, I already stood out enough, with the fiery red hair and icy blue eyes. Everyone else is normal. Lovely blond hair and forest green eyes. I was a mistake. At least that's what everyone else thinks I am. Then my parents died and people started to pity me. It was getting better, it really was. Then it all came crumbling down when I found him.
Everyone from the Essence Seas to Fantasia City knew that these... things were still around. Hiding and cowering like rodents. Of course all of the Halcyon had tried to get rid of most of them, but the humans who have a will to live, are still around. And I had found one. I had found a human.
Despite the fact that he was half dead and bleeding out all over the place, I was still quite intrigued. So that's why he's in my room now. Still unconscious and slightly dangerous. But all Halcyon are risk takers. And all of us are warriors as well. I could handle a human. These primitive, pathetic creatures are no match for me. I wanted answers from him, and if I want something, I always get it.
I nudge the human with my boot. Nothing. I try again. " Come on." I mutter. Nothing happens, I guess I'd just have to wait. Patience is a bitter thing, but it's fruits are sweet. I sit down on my bed and wait. This was quiet dull actually. Sitting, waiting, nothing happening. After an hour or so my eyes grow heavy. I had been hunting all day with other Elites and I was exhausted. I found this human at the edge of Eartha Forest and dragged him to my home. Well it's actually more of a mansion. My parents are, well were, ministers in the Halcyon Courts. And when they died, I inherited everything they left behind. My eyes flutter closed for a moment. I open them groggily and watch the human. Still nothing. Twenty minutes of sleep, nothing could possibly happen.
