I was in a dark room where the crystals as dark as the night hung from the entrance of the immense room. It was quiet and cold, as Loveuilla (lov-ooh-lia) flowers bloomed from the corners of the walls. It's silvery pink petals stretching to catch its prey - a firefly an ancient insect that survived through the wars.
The only source of light in the dark room was in the far corner of the tower. A women wearing a long white dress with intricate details of flowers and faces no one new of on the dress. She stood looking out from what seemed like a window the only escape, the only thing she looked at all day.
A blue crescent moon deserted from the rest of its own kind, curved in a sort of spine-chilling smile the type that hung onto the dim stars in the sky. Watching you at all times.

Back in Exylus...
We all sat at the wide table shaped in a crescent shape like a type of smile I never questioned are strange furniture it seemed normal for me but it only did appear to look strange infront of others. Once my father came with the table saying it was a gift from a very important person, someone who wanted to meet me very much... but I do faintly remember he said something unusual something like that the person would always be with me through this. Of course I never took it seriously but all this stuff has happened I'm starting to question whether all the strange things my dad said were actually just jokes...
"Since your so busy staring at the table if you don't want those Erion- Noodles give them to m-" Julian smirked reaching for my bowl I smacked his hand down, glaring at him before wolfing down my food, I trusted myself even though I wasn't sure whether I was just overthinking... or maybe I was actually onto something...
After I finished eating my food the room was extremely silent, after a while my mum decided to be the first to talk, "Since no one is willing to speak on the situation I will...firstly let me say something don't be too surprised or atonished... we try not to-."
Suddenly me and Julian felt very eager to know why else would mom speak in such a mysterious and serious tone.
"Lu Jinyu...he is from somewhere very far not in Tyrus or...Exylus."
Julian was confused while I was just speechless.
"Wait mom, slow down what- ...there is no way! I mean if I am supposed to believe that he is from a far away planet, a guy who suddenly met my sister and for some reason Irene being a simp for good-looking guys-."
"Eh! No I'm not I..I was just..." I almost forgot the reason why... As Julian shook his head and continued speaking,
"-just let him stay here and coincidentally he also knew you and had..the bracelet.."
I nodded but Lu Jinyu was quiet and for some reason couldn't meet my eye, mom was quiet before continuing, "You...This... It's all...This was never supposed to happen everything changed the future and history as I know because of a certain person..who I can't speak of... anyways he isn't from this Planet he belongs to a different planet..."
We all went quiet because I found out something while living with him that he doesn't have a diamond and every Exylian has it no matter what, Julian looked confused but somewhere in my heart I had a feeling that mom was not lying and that Lu Jinyu was really from a different planet.
I looked at Lu Jinyu and I saw it mom was telling the truth I could see it in his eyes relief that finally he could breathe, I was still speechless there was just a million speech marks in my mind.
We called it a day and decides to go up to our rooms I let Julian stay in my room he said he needed time to process things, so I had to stay with mom. I didn't remember the last time I slept with mom it had been so long, I lay down and mom's warm arm covered my arm and when I met her eyes I saw worry and anxiety,
"Mum, what's wrong why do you look like that are you sick do we need to go back to the hospital!" I asked in a concerned tone.
"No...no...Look Irene listen I have to tell you something I need to tell you and only you this if you now know more, look your a special girl I dont know what the future has put up for you or what it has in store...but I know that you are not like others you are different in good ways and bad ways...and one day you will find out what makes you different from the others...but no matter what you'll always be my baby girl."
Mom told me this and hugged me and I felt warmth and comfort for the first time in a long time, even though I was confused on what she meant that I was special.
I kind of like the thought of being special it made me different it made me feel like a main character. But there was a part to it that made me nervous the part were mom mentioned bad ways what did she mean...
Was I from another planet?!
As long as it meant not being from another planet I thought maybe it wasn't so bad.
But who knew that in truth mom was not joking and that these words and everything that has happened all the way until now was going to decide my future.
That it was not as easy as I was thinking it was going to be, and there was going to be a complex side to everything that was going to happen...

In the dark room with the mysterious lady...
"The time is coming soon its ticking oh sweet crescentia moon keep watching me...even if it will take a million years keep watching because ___________________."
The woman stared into the twinkling stars into the crescent moon which seemed to be watching her.
The lady continued to look out at the pastel violet sky which seemed to stretch beyond exylian or human eyes could see, only when you would get to the end of it would you only truly get to marvel at the scenery and view.
