I, who have found myself drowning on someone's blood, remain alive.
They say I'm cursed.
They bullied me behind my parents back when i was a child.
But now, i'm the only one who will weave my Destiny.
"Young lady, are you okay?' a man utters.
"uhm, well i guess.. Can you lend me a hand Mister.."
the man reach out for me. I feel his rough skin but he got gentle movements. I guess he came from a high class society.
"miss, may i know your name?"
"my name is Jan Marill Louis."
"oh, I guess i find the right person.. Do you know LuX Academe?"
"wait, do you came from that place mister--?" it frightens me a bit, for LuX Academe is known for the most Prestigious Place in The country.. And the name itself pertains for richness.. LuX for Luxury..
"based from your expression, you know the place but not better as mine" he says while he chuckles.
" I'm here to escort and to guide you at entering the academy. I'm Mr.M, short for Mister Misery Meirs Meister " Smiling sheepishly, i guess??

I am Jan Marill Louis. 18 years old. Awhile ago I was with my family having a tasteful dinner at a bungalow house along at Hue Street.
Tanks and bombs came to visit at our village at that time when families gather just for a day to remember again what they do from the past seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years.
At that night we are having a conversation about The LuX. For it seeks a private life inside. From the news and gossips around the neighborhood the LuX build its own society inside so that rich people will be trained to reign the society itself.
War has began. Screams starts to make louder and louder. Crying children are running just to escape those who captures them.
The legend repeats at the same place and at the time when PHINS and OUSE argue with the next political leader of the town.
It is true that PHINS and OUSE got the support of the well known government people. That they are just like the dogs of the nation.
I was running and also losing my breath at the top of my lungs. Suddenly a old man drag me inside a store.
"YOU!!!"coughing with blood on his hand
"you are cursed with that hands of yours.
The legend was true and it started all over again.
You will not have the life you want unless you kill yourself for the sake of the people, sacrifice your life to stop the war--"
He fainted in front of me. Rather he died just before my eyes.
I feel the anger and pain on his voice making me feel so guilty. But i don't know what have i done.
Could someone explain me how did it go this far just to let me ignorant of my condition.
Tears roll in cheeks and burying my face between my knees. I'm so scared. Just please help me. Someone please.
I fell asleep in the middle of the war.
That was the time when a man i was talking to came.
SILENCE
"Mister, how did you get here in this place?" as weak as my voice are just like murmurs.
"Great question, because i have the guts to take you there."
"What??--"
"Can you reach my hand?!!"
"Hmmmm....Ack!!" I fainted as the man catch me with his arms.
"You are just a young victim of your LuX" whispered by a man..

Mister Misery Meirs Meister, hmmm, sounds like a tongue twister.
How long and exotic name of his.
