Imagine yourself, Lara Ace, a amateur-ninja, sarcastic, idiotic and stupid girl, walking through the woods at 11:48 PM chasing an inexistent fairy without a care in the world. Suddenly your mind reMINDs (The pun hehe) you that you have a huge exam tomorrow and you should be sleeping. You look around, and there's not even a single star in the night sky. Wolves are howling, bats are squawking and the trees are caving in on you. Until something jabs you in the arm, a small pain coming from your forearm. And all you see are kaleidoscopes. COOL!

When two orphaned brothers learn that their father--who is an Exiled Angel, no less--may be still alive, they enlist the help of a mage-in-training who barely knows her basic magic, a little boy who hardly talks, and their adoptive sister who, from time to time, is controlled by an Oracle's spirit that inhabited her body. With the Unnatural World thriving of demons, banshees, and stone-cold "angels" who are secretly planning world destruction, what could possibly go wrong?

These are some of my thoughts, from narratives to inspirational speeches that I'll probably never read aloud.
