Rhythm of the Lost Stone

Meryth. A creature being , remains unknown by most of the mortals, yet blending thoroughly in the mankind world. Surviving by eating the darkness, they'll stay immortal as long the shadow still exist against the light.
And just like human, Meryth as well have their own sides. Good side they called Ruentla, the one who secure the human's safety from inside the shadow, living their life as an invisible guardian which only be able to see by those who gifted. Only have an agreement of one with the human, to Ruentla protect those the society decided.
"...Gifted? Perhaps a curse?..."
Unlike the standard we called 'Normal', the mankind in this very world have it in another light. Those who are normal, are the one who born with stone at their body. Most of the population are born with white stone, that knows as 'Rhinestone'. However, there's a system they called, 'Pebble Society'. Those who born with gemstones are the elites, the Gems. The highest one in this Pebble hierarchy, unlike those who they called ....'Mudheart', born without any stone, they might be rarest of the rarest as only 0.023% population are from that lowest of the hierarchy, yet they're not 'Normal' neither accepted. At least, not for the Pebbles.
This story might unfold a new chapter in their history....with a Meryth protecting a Mudheart child, the first mistake ever made by both the society and Ruentla in 20075 years of their contract.
"...Mistake, you said?"
