Spalter

Chapter 1

It all started in a small village near the city of Plume where I met my foster parents.

My real parents were killed when I was still a baby and my foster parents refuse to tell me aything.

I was about five then and still so naive. Although at first I disliked them greatly, they have slowly started to grow onto me and before I knew it, I had already grown to love them.

They were an odd couple indeed. My foster mother was a Hybrid and my foster father a Mecaroid.

My mother, Hyra, was more on the chubby side. She had a rosy, plump face, almond shaped, yellow eyes and dark brown hair. She has such a jolly persona and always finds something positive in the worst situations.

Hybrids were the most common race in Ryoda. They were human-like creatures mixed with animal attributes. They excelled at handcraft.

My foster father, on the other hand, was rather muscular and firm and had a strongly defind jaw and military-short, purple hair.

You were only able to see his right eye because of a steel eyepatch he always wore.

Now Mecaroids are a race that came to existance millions of years a go when humans made the gadgets more and more advanced until they became one with them. Their body exists of 70% metals and 30% human flesh.

Now, around the age of seven I started to notice small things growing from under my skin on my back. They looked like nothing I had ever seen before...There was a white, angelic feathered marking that appeared on the left, upper side of my back while on the right side an ugly, demonic looking marking had started to form.

I was too small to really think anything of this but it just fascinated me...

... but then there was this sudden pain that pierced itself into my back. I.. I didn't know what to do. It hurt so much.. so badly. Another sharp pain. It got worse and worse.. I tried to open my mouth to scream but my voice stuck in my throat.. any sound refused to come out. I started to twitch. What was this?

The pain made me cramp up into a ball. My heart started to beat faster and faster.

I felt something forcing itself from my back through my skin.. I was exhausted.. Shivering, my hand started to search for the reason of this. I started to feel my back, patting it, in desperation. Suddenly, I felt two large lumps moving from my skin, stretching it out. 

I tried to prevent it from growing but failed..

I took a glance across the room and spotted my parents. They were approaching me in a worried way. Why was this happening? What have I done?

My heart stopped beating..

Blood.. blood was dripping from my back as I was still curled up in pain..  The air felt thick.

"GO AWAY!" I screamed at them.. Tears were flowing down my cheeks. I felt like i was going to die out of frustration.

I noticed my that my blood along with furniture and other items started to float across the room.

I reached out my hand in agony..

"H-help.. me..   please..", I muttered.

A strong force started to form a round me. Hyra came running towards me but my foster father quickly pulled her back. He came into contact with this force and all I remember was seeing his arm infront of me.

"I.. I'm sorry!" "PLEA-", I was interrupted.

"Monster."

This voice.. it came from the direction my foster parents were in. I looked up at them in confusion.

"Wh-" The voice interrupted me again.

"MONSTER."

Their eyes were glaring down at me. My foster father was trying to prevent that what was left of his arm from bleeding. Hyra was hugging him tightly in fear. I saw it.. their eyes were filled with hate. I looked around.. everything was destroyed.

This one word hurt more than the pain spreading throughout my body. A sudden feeling of emptiness was there.

I took one last look at my foster father's arm that was lying infront of me. I couldn't take this pain anymore. But suddenly it loosened up and I felt so free....... so......... free...

I fainted.
