"Fly Victoria! Don't ever turn your back! Go fly straight inside the portal when you reach the Mountain of Zephyrus. " Martha shouted through our mind link while hiding through the shadows.
I flapped my black wings as hard and fast as I could. Flying straight to the forest invading all the trees and all the arrows threatening to hit me, one mistake and I will end up in the hands of the angels. The angels who hated me, no hate is an understatement loath is the right word. I am Victoria Lux and angles loathed me for being a half demon and an angel. Angels considered creatures like me as cursed. I was little when I got first attacked by an angel…
*flashback 10 years ago*
"Vi, promise me you'll never go out from this forest, again." My mom held me in her arms worriedly. I unconsciously went out of the forest a while ago while following a baby unicorn, when suddenly a white orb appeared behind me threatening to hit me but my mom countered the attack causing it to hit a tree instead. The angel who tried to hit me vanished, as we hurriedly went home and packed our things to leave. And now we are inside a cave, my mother's haven.
"But why is that mama?" I asked curiously.
I saw tears escaped from her eyes. She hugged me so tight, kissed my forehead. "It's about time that you will learn about something"
She summoned a crystal orb filled with white smoke from out of nowhere and then she chanted:
Crystal of light with all you might,
Show me the dark sight without a fright:
Angels who kills, angels who fills,
The ground with blood during the night.
The smoke suddenly moved and turning into a scene how angels will kill half demons like me. My body trembles at the sight of the tortured innocent half demons.
"Why mama, why angels hated creatures like me?" I hugged my knees remembering the events.
"My dear, Angels are known as the gentlest and the purest mystical beings, but they are the scariest mystical beings among all. For angels, there are no rooms for mercy ones you broke their norms, you have to take the consequences. Torture or isolation, you will have no other option. Angels abide in their laws faithfully, obeying the laws are the basis of their morality. Vi, Angels believed that a mixture of different kinds is highly unacceptable and a cursed to their bloodline that needed to be eradicated. Now promise me to stay hidden and never get close to an angel." I hugged her tight, "yes, mama…I promise."
"But Mama...You are an angel? How come you fell in love with papa? How come you love me so much? Where is papa? Did angels killed papa, too? Will we also die mama? I don't wanna die mama" I asked and cried as I stared at her loving face.
"Yes, love he died protecting us when you're still young. Your papa loves us so much. You're my blood and flesh, and between your father and I, love is so deep you will understand it soon" she kissed my forehead and held me in her arms the last word I heard from her was "I love you." And I never saw her again.
*end of flashback*
"How about you, you have to go with me Martha…"
Martha is a half demon and banshee. She's my best friend and my only family left.
"There's no time, Vi… we need someone to hold them back" she told me with full of determination.
"I can't do this without you, what if they caught you? What if--", I cried to her.
"I promise, I will follow you soon" and with that everything became silent. I never heard a word from her again. With a heavy heart I continued to hide myself from the angels, I landed through the ground and shift as an elf to hide my identity. Good thing about being a demon is we can shaped shift but we cannot have the ability of the creatures or the thing that we portray. I ran inside a mountain's cave. I saw a swirling white light, afraid not knowing where it'll take me. Suddenly sounds of flapping wings echoed inside the cave. One last look, I dived inside the portal. Martha is strong she will follow me. As my body hit the portal, a heavy energy sucks up my well-being, and then everything went blank.
