Chapter 4 - Sylvia

Sylvia was known for her physical ability, she was one of few in the history of Verge who were able to control Anahata but still the fact that she was half breed between Vyanu and Agnya was always the reason for her unacceptance, she was teased, harassed until she allows them as not a single one of her age can face her rage.

She always tried to rely on the mother's side and despised her father although her mother always loved the man. Sylvia was never able to comprehend why a man will leave her own daughter just to become ruler of some filthy primitive Agnyas and then butcher almost half of both factions.

She almost lived her whole life as a Vyanu and everyone hated her father except for her mother, her mother always told her that there may have been reasons but he also killed his own kinship too and those Agnyas consider her mother to be the reasons that their king butchered them.

He renounced his kingdom after the great war and left, no one knows where he went but that stopped the war, Agnya devoid of their king and Vyanu's king dead both factions signed a treaty for zero interaction and great sages have been looking the border ever since, nobody ever crossed them or wasn't able to. Noone knew who are the sages and from where they came but they are there that's the only thing Agnya and Vyanu know.

Sylvia lived her life learning Vyanu's ways and sometimes her mother also tried to tell her about Agnya but she never learnt. Her life changed when she qualified for Verge, everybody was surprised with her ability. She didn't even know herself how she was able to sustain the heat of Abyss, it was said only those who are able to control Anahata to 7th level have a chance of sustaining it and for almost three centuries no one was able to cross even 4th level, and she for a fact knew she was not even close to 4th level. There were lots of speculation about power and her strength from her father but no one was sure what really happened.

It has been almost three cold moons since she came to verge and everyone seems to think of her as a prodigy in warfare but she was not even able to feel her Muladhara.

Professor Vazul told her that this may be because her Mulahadara is allowed to run free but with this uncontrolled strength comes the price she has to pay, her body wasn't able to sustain it for long and there are somethings that she hasn't told Professor Vazul yet. In her last training combat, she wanted to kill not because of anger but because of desire, it was like thirst she wants to quench she wanted to slit open her opponent's throat and she knew she can do that within a blink until Aragon suddenly appeared on the battleground and his gaze was the last thing she remembered. It was not common for someone to appear on mids of battle-ground, they all were told that happened because of fluctuation in the Wormhole but that sight of Aragon seems something unusual and everyone knew mistakes are the only things the Aragon don't commit and then he went along with Professor Czar.

Sylvia knew what she felt was something different and maybe because of her Agnya DNA and eventually, there aren't any half breed between Agnya and Vyau like her, she doesn't know any if there were some.

She was not able to comprehend her thought, it has been a common thing for her now, she tries to process everything that happens with her every night watching the tower outside her window, playing with water droplets between her finger unconsciously forcing it changes forms, sometimes as thin as a thread, sometimes a flat coin and then moving it across the finger, then forcing it to freeze, dropping it and then again picking up the scatters with a simple flicker of her finger.

Sometimes she gazed at the vastness of the sky and tried to understand how there can be something as vast as this and at the same instant be smallest.

Just along her bed, her clanmate Nina was sleeping, a ghoul, a white serene beauty her hairs were long and were almost floating, eyes big as baby, lips like a petal, her body wrapped in white and shades of blue, sometimes Sylvia thought if she touched her she may die and that's what all of them have thought if they haven't seen her fight. Nina's parents were killed in a coup d'etat, she was just a baby then and was saved by an assassin. She learnt how to kill and was know as silent-death until now. Her master asked a favour from Professor Czar to get her daughter far from this malevolence and after that, she came to Verge and have been known as the wish of almost everyone.

Nina has a habit of jumping and laughing around like a child maybe because she was adored a lot by her master from butterflies to a leaf everything amazed her.

It has been many moons but Nina was her only friend considering Nina was someone people wanted to be around but as Nina stuck with her usually they both were alone.

Next morning they all will be introduced to an Anayan an almost extinct species of sentinels, Professor Vazul told her it has been almost 60 years since any Anayan came to verge, she was curious about his ability as some say he didn't even know he is an Anayan and was living in Earth just after his birth considering himself a human.
