~Chapter 1~

Well, finally its time.
High school graduation.
I'm told that it is one of the best times of someone's life. But I don't see it. To me, I'm in just any ordinary group gathering with the other people of my age. I mean I guess I would have thought it as one of the greatest times of my life, but since I'm gathered around all these other, used to be students at Atkins High School and their sobbing families, I just feel empty. I don't have a family since mine was involved in a car accident when I was eight, and no one else in the family wanted me so they sent me to an adoption. So now I live at a foster home with nine other foster children, hoping someone would want me, but of course they always choose the youngest ones. My foster family is nice, don't get me wrong, but I have never felt like I could truly belong there.

So here I am, at the gym of my school. There is only about 400 students at Atkins High and there are only 78 senior students, including myself, graduating this year. Instead of paying attention to all the boring speeches that are being given, I decided to gaze around the gym a bit. All around me were the students that were graduating with me, all in black and red graduation gowns, our seats in in rows of ten, or for the last row, eight. The floor was covered in a soft cotton material to avoid any damage the fold out chairs could do to it. Underneath it was the Atkins mascot, The red devil painted onto the basketball court wood floors. In front of me was the podium where the speeches were being given, beautiful arrangements of flowers on either side, and a cloth covered table aligned in front of it. It had all 78 diplomas on it awaiting to be handed to its owner. At my right, in few feet from the table was a camera set up with the male photographer snapping away throughout the whole ceremony. To the left, was the band that played the graduation song and would probably play again when all of this ends, and almost every section of the bleachers were covered in would be onlooking parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, and other family members.

The speeches all ended and the principal, Principle Nolan, then tells the front row to rise which he then begins calling out names, last names first, of students in alphabetical order. After the front row had all stood up, the first student, I knew her name was Lauren Anderson, began to walk out the left side of the row, the other students moving down one chair, and she walked up to Principal Nolan, shaking his right hand and grabbing the diploma in the left, the photographer making sure to get a shot of it. Lauren then made her way back to the right side of the row of chairs, and the next student was called to do the exact same thing. Once all the students in the front row had finished, he called for my row to rise as well. Two students went before me before I heard my name.

"Lilian Angel Durant," I looked up at Principal Nolan as he called my name. Like all the others in front of me, I walked up there, shook his hand, and then took my diploma, making sure to stop at the corner of the gym to have my picture taken by the very enthusiastic photographer. Then of course I go in the right side of my row and stand until I'm able to sit in my chair again. So boring. After everyone finally got their diplomas, the Principle Nolan said a few more words before the band began to play again and everyone stood up to cheer and throw their hats, all the families then began to swarm on the gym floor then, including my foster parents.

"Oh I am so proud of you!" My foster mother, Catherine, squeals as she comes to hug me. She was a tall, blond and slender woman who reminds me a little bit of Barbie to be honest. Today she wore a very pretty floral skirt, and a nice plain red shirt. I never really pay any attention to her, but today I could see that she was beaming with the sparkly white teeth of hers and standing beside her husband Jerald, who stood there quietly, his dark hair still a bit messy even though Catherine had combed it to death before coming here. He had worn a business suit since he wears one of those everyday because of his job; he's a director of a company that creates new items, you know like the "Clap on" lamps.

I watched as Catherine held onto his arm and she said, of course still all beaming, "So now we are going to take you home for your party!"

I stare at her for a second before muttering, "okay," and then head in the direction of the door, both of them following me happily, well Catherine was happy, Jerald just had other things to do so he found it more of a nuisance.

I stared up at the white, two story house when we got there, loud sounds coming from within. When I entered, I found that there was no party since the other foster children decided to destroy the decorations and cake while my graduation was going on, so they were all running about like little hellions throughout the house, covered in cake, and still wreaking havoc on everything else. Catherine and Jerald began scolding them and everything like what normally happens. No one really ever gets into trouble here, even if someone were to break a tv or whatnot.

"I'm going upstairs to change and then I'm going for a walk for a while," I shouted as the mayhem continued, unfazed. There was no answer so I just headed up to my room and took the graduation uniform off, as well as change into some blue jeans and a plain green tee. Several crashes resounded throughout the house as, I'm guessing, some dishes were broken in the kitchen. I grabbed my pure black jacket off my desk chair, and headed out the door without uttering another word to them, and walked down the sidewalk of the street. Walking was boring like everything else was. Nothing really new ever happened in this town and everyone knew everything about everyone else. No secrets were kept.

I stared up at the twinkling star lit sky, not really paying attention to where I was going, until I stood in front of the most peculiar shop. I don't recall it ever being there at all, which was weird because it was like it had suddenly appeared out of no where. The outside looked worn down, and by looks of it, it had been empty for a long time. Some of its bricks had intricate designs of graffiti, and all the windows had been completely boarded up, the sign, unreadable and almost falling off its hinges. For some reason, I felt as if I want to enter it, even though it obviously looks as if it could collapse at any moment. I reached for the handle of the worn out door and it opens without me touching it all.

"Creepy," I muttered and entered into its depths. It was quite dark, but a strange light illuminated from the back portion of the shop. Intrigued, I decided to see where the source of light was coming from. All around me were rows and rows of dust caked shelves, many making aisles to walk up and down, the rest, lining the walls. Interesting and old looking trinkets covered just about every surface. I stumbled over some unknown object in the dim light, and the bright light I had been watching moved towards me. Frozen, I couldn't help but stare at the light, since it had become a small floating orb directly in front of my face. It was rainbow in color and had no definite shape that held its form; it was just a rainbow, glowing orb, with little flakes of rainbow dust fluttering off around it.

I bolted backwards a few steps when the orb began to speak to me, "Hello and welcome, hehe," Now I recognized what it was, but it can't be what it was. Fairies should not exist. All I'm able to do is stare at it, wide eyed, as it continued speaking to me. "Shall I take you to a new world? It is not another world, but merely the future of this one. Would you like to see the future?"

All I could do was nod, completely unable to speak.

'Hehe. What an adventure that shall begin for you now!" The fairy seemed to sing with joy as it began spinning around my head. Suddenly I was blinded by extremely bright light, and all I could hear was the fairy's voice. "Oh yeah, before I forget" Its voice rings in my ear. "The world is a dangerous place, and once you arrive in my world, you can not return to this one. Hehehe..." Its voice fades away, and then, I'm consumed by what looks as if it is an eternal darkness.

“Yo FenFen, awesome work on that guy!” the annoying voice of the Knat, Skyler, ringing in my ears as I stood over the unconscious body of who was once my “boss,” not that he really was since we were under cover to catch him in the act of his crime, all the same I glared at him. The b*****d was pretty easy to take care of too compared to some of the other Daemon I have encountered. I glared still, making sure he was indeed unconscious and the giving him a good kick with the Fallen body I now possessed before saying, “Yeah. He was a bit too easy to take care of and I was expecting more of a challenge from this damn b*****d after all the trouble he has been causing.”

“Yes, he was indeed quite inconsiderably easy, although him running was a bit of a challenge to catch.” I heard Riko say and Skyler’s laughter.

“Yeah, but not too bad since we have FenFen, RiRi. You are just too slow.” I turned to face them then and saw Riko and Skyler, both also looking like Fallen just like I was. Riko had very short, spiky blonde hair and yellow reptilian like eyes. His feathered white wings spread out as he stood, arms crossed, and glaring at Skyler with his sharp dagger-like teeth bare. “Shut up Skyler.”

I looked to Skyler who was grinning at Riko and just stood there calmly, white wings spread out in a similar manner, and his long black hair swayed gently behind him in a long braid that reached about the middle of his back. “Sure sure RiRi,” he said snickering before snapping his fingers and Riko and I returned to our normal forms, our rock band clothing shredding to bits before landing at our paws. Skyler remained still in his Fallen transformation, probably to lure human women to a bed. What a b*****d, toying with women the way he does and doesn’t even tell them he isn’t even human, or even remotely similar to human.

“Angela is coming so she’ll be here shortly with some guards.” I looked down at Skyler as he said it since then I was back to my original height, which was quite a bit larger than humans, or even the mutated versions as well. I swayed my long tail lightly before going down the alleyway to the end to make sure there weren’t any more of the Daemon’s henchmen left that might attack any of us to rescue the supplier of their cash. I scanned the street and sure enough, Skyler was right, Angela was indeed already swiftly moving in our direction. “Yeah, she’s already here.” I turned to Riko who had decided to follow me and sit out in the cobblestone street. His fur was salmon and white, the salmon dominating most of his back and head while the white was on his face. There was a blonde stripe that went down his back and made his tail blonde and his entire body was covered in intricate blonde, white, and salmon swirls.

I watched as he looked up at Angela who asked him where the Daemon was.

“He is in the alleyway with Skyler,” Riko said as he motioned with a paw in the direction behind us.

Angela spoke very clearly to her guards, “Seize and bind him, and take him to Morvian Prison.”

I gazed around as the guards said “Yes my Lady!” and zoomed into the alleyway binding the now Daemon prisoner with magic and practically dragging him before flying off, using their pure white feathered wings to disappear into the clouds above.

“Very outstanding job in your mission you three,” Angela beamed as she looked at us with those blue eyes of hers and her short hair swaying lightly as she moved toward Riko and I.

“No prob Angela,” Skyler's voice was now heard directly beside me. “so any other missions for us.”

She grinned at Skyler, “Not at all. You three are free to be on your way then.”

“Sweeeeet,” Skyler walked out into the middle of the street and lightly saluted while grinning. “Later then!” He jumped up and landed on the nearest building before running off to probably find women I’m sure. What a b*****d.

“Awesome, so then I’ll leave as well. Got some things to do.” Riko muttered sounding rather bored and wandered off down the street leaving just Angela and myself alone.

“Those two sure don’t stick around long do they Isaac?”

“Never. Riko probably has some experimentations of some sort I’m sure, and Skyler just goes after women,” I looked at her and watched as she pursed her lips about Skyler.

“He should never do that.”

“Well he does and nothing will ever change his behavior. You know as well as I do.”

“Yes this is true,” She nodded before turning and beginning to head back in the direction she came. “You coming back with me to Asea Valley Isaac?”

I shrugged and walked forward, following her, “Might as well.”
We reached the Asea Valley gateway in no time, even if it was on foot and there was a vast forest that we had had to go through. For any human, it would’ve normally taken several days to run and many more to walk. They were such pathetic creatures, always getting into trouble, always causing disturbances, and they didn’t even live very long lives. They were all so rather annoying.

I watched as Angela walked through the archway which allowed her to go through Asea Valley’s barrier and I followed behind, feeling the cold magic rippling across my body as I went to the other side. There was nothing but lush grass and more trees all around us as we both continued our trek to, I’m sure, her castle. Angela suddenly came to a halt though in front of me and I stopped and stared at her before asking, “Something wrong?”
She didn’t seem to notice me at all any more and quickly ran off into the trees to my left. I followed close behind, dodging trees and underbrush effortlessly until I came to a clearing with her and paused staring out into the middle of the enclosure. Oh damn not another one.  

[Verusia]

“Are you awake human?” a voice sounded quite clear in my ears. I felt what seemed to feel like grass brushing against me and my hair and clothing rustle from a breeze. Where am I? The last thing I remember was… that rainbow fairy. I was in a shop, but now I feel grass. Where am I? I thought as I still laid there unable to move and still a bit unconscious. Slowly though, I felt my senses returning to me from the darkness.

“Keldry, why have you brought another one here?” the same voice before asked.

“Hehe. Its fun Lady Angela,” I recognized the rainbow fairy answering the other.

A heavy and soft object then rested against my forehead, soft fur gently brushing against my skin.

“She doesn’t have a fever like some of the others you have brought here,” I heard a deep and crystal clear voice say right beside me, “Should I wake her up?”

“Please do so Isaac,”

I felt warmth begin from my forehead and make its way down to my toes, and I blinked from my eyes no longer being heavy and realized that it was a paw on my forehead and the owner of the paw was a huge creature I had never seen before. I blinked again before getting up so quickly that the creature was knocked backwards, shrieked, and I scooted as far away as possible to lean against a tree and pointed at it. “Wha… What the hell is that thing!” I stared wide eyed at the creature which glared at me as it got up and shook itself.

“Easy now human,” it said politely and walked closer to me. It was what looked like a very large rodent its short fur covered in intricate red, black, and white markings, and its crystal blue eyes staring straight into mine. It was massive, about the size of a horse and had very large ears and a long tail that curled around the tip. I blinked and looked away and noticed that it was also wearing a blue collar that almost matched the color of its eyes. “You are lucky you are still alive and survive the trip here. Keldry’s magic is very unpredictable.” He pointed his paw in the direction of the rainbow fairy which was buzzing around a woman’s head.

The woman was a very beautiful woman. I stared at her and she had brilliant blue eyes and short brown hair that curled out on the tips. She wore a long velvet looking royal purple dress that looked amazing on her against her pale skin. She also had gold dangling earrings from her ears, a gold necklace with a purple pendant, and several gold bangles on her arms. I stared unblinking as she swiftly stepped closer towards me as well.

“Wh… Where am I? What is that thing?” I asked nervously as I went back to staring at the creature again.

“You are in the future of your world which has long since past and been reborn into this one. This is Celeste and he,” she motioned to the creature, “Isaac, is a wista. A creature created by myself, Angela,” she smiled kindly and approached, bending down to my level at the tree, “What is your name human?”

Afraid, I stuttered to her in answering, “A… Angel… Lilian Angel Durant. Wait… The world ends?”

Isaac replied instead, “Not entirely. The world is still the same as it was for you, but scientists from the past found a purple substance called Acanite that could give humans longer lives and injected many of them with it. Humans did in fact live longer, but there were certain side effects…” He paused to look over at Angela as if asking her whether he should proceed or not and then turned his attention back to me, “The humans mutated into either one of two new species of human, Daemon or Fallen. Daemon look basically like demons and Fallen look like angels. They were outcast by humans and then created a war with them, annihilating humans all together. There are a few humans now in Celeste, but they, like you, have been brought here by Keldry, or they were born from the humans that were brought.”

I blinked and then stared, soaking in all the information, “So.. Fallen and Daemon are dangerous then?”

Angela spoke softly to me, “Yes we are very dangerous, but I will not harm you Lilian. It is against the laws of Celeste to attack humans and even if it weren’t, Fallen do not attack them. Daemon are different though, they can and probably would try to. Although if one is caught in the act, he or she is tried to death. There are also other dark creatures in this time.”

I was completely engulfed in fear when I watched Angela. She had completely changed now.  

[Verusia]

I watched as the human stared at Angela in horror. Her bright green eyes had completely become filled with fear and her body was entirely stiff. Even I could tell that this human wanted to bolt as far away as possible as the wind lightly moved her long brown hair. Why did Angela have to show every human as soon as they got to Celeste what her true form was, I don’t know, but I do know it always had a major impact on humans like how it was now to this one. I turned my head to look at her instead.

Angela had changed to have pure white feathered wings and orange reptilian like eyes, and her hair had grown longer, reaching to about the middle of her back. Her ears ended in points and every time her mouth moved I could see the rows of sharp teeth that she was trying so hard to hide. She was a Fallen. One of the mutated breeds of human that rule this world, the creators of most creatures and protectors of humans. Or so one is told to believe. Truth is that Fallen hate humans just about as much as Daemon and won’t even hesitate to beat or kill one that annoys them. I’ve seen it happen many times and for some reason those that do so don’t get in as much trouble as a Daemon would. Why the hell do they have to bring more humans. This one is female though. I thought as I moved my gaze back to the human and took a few steps forward.

“Angela, look at what you have done. You’ve completely scared her to death. Change back already.” I muttered coming closer to the human who turned quickly to stare at me, even more frightened now that I was so close. I could tell since I could hear her heartbeat loudly and beat even more rapidly than it had been.

“No no Isaac. She needs to get use to seeing a Fallen since there are so many of us. Can’t have her too nervous for when Gwendalla must examine her.” Angela stated as she stood up and smiled kindly “Now Lilian don’t be afraid. We won’t hurt you. Please just follow Isaac and I, and we will take very good care of you.”

The human only blinked before looking at me and then looking back at Angela and stuttered, “Wh…What kind of… examination?”

Angela still smiled as she replied, “oh nothing too big. Just making sure you have no injuries or anything that may have been affected by coming here.”

I stared at Angela from the lie. Why even lie? Its pointless to do so since the examination is a bit more than “nothing too big” and the human is bound to figure that out. I twitched my ears a bit and noticed that the human’s heart beat had decreased a lot compared to what it had been, and she was more like how she was before again.

“Um so just an examination then? So what happens after then?” She asked and still had not moved.

“Then you will be given a Sanya to take care of you and you may be on your way in the world. Doing whatever you desire.” Angela answered and nodded and then held out her hand to the human. “Up you come then.”

The human looked at the hand and then up and Angela and then back down again before grabbing it and easily being pulled to her feet, and Angela grinned wider and began walking back to the trail. I noticed the human was a bit startled by how easily Angela had pulled her up and stood there a minute before also following, and I followed behind her.

The trek to Gwendalla’s deep within the forest was very slow but we made it there eventually. The human is very clumsy for even a human, and I kept having to catch her every now and then from behind. Most of the time I just wanted to pick her up and carry her since she was so damn slow. Angela insisted on us walking though so that the human would not be afraid for the examination. It was something to do with I would frighten her and Angela did not want that to happen I suppose.

Gwendalla’s castle was a small castle with very little guards around it. She was a very kind woman, one of the kindest people I had ever met, and I watched as she came swiftly over to us with that petite body of hers.

“Oh so this is the new one,”she stated and smiled at the human before grabbing a hold the human’s arm and walking her towards the gate. “Hello Lilian, my name is Gwendalla. I am the Sage of Dreams and you are here for an examination yes. Right this way!” I heard her say happily as Angela and I followed behind them.

She led us all down many hallways until we got to a certain one that had double doors adorned with golden swirls and from my eyes, completely surrounded by a ton of magic. I gazed at the colorful threads as each one looped in and out and around each itself or another, leaving intricate patterns across the ceilings, floors and walls. I thought carefully on what they could be as I studied them since I had never before seen so much magic at one place of Gwendalla’s castle before. There wasn’t even any on the outside. Obviously something that happened in there needed to be kept secret.

She opened up the doors and led the human inside and as soon as I was about to follow, she said sternly, “You two are to stay out here.” then shut the two doors in front of us.

Angela muttered, “Ridiculous that I may not enter as well.” I looked at her for a moment before laying down to wait and smirked. The b***h couldn’t get everything she wanted.

It was several hours before even a sound was heard and I was almost on the verge of falling asleep when the two doors opened again and I saw Gwendalla partly carrying the human out of the doors, a huge grin on her face.

She looked over at Angela and spoke too rapidly for a human to hear, “She is the one.”
