When I was born and opened my eyes, I saw halos. Halos represents the behavior, feelings, or intentions of a person. White, green, blue, yellow, red, and black. At that time, I wished I could speak. Well, for them to inform them that they have different acquaintances in the surroundings.
At 3 years old, I was able to see ghosts. A ghost was wandering around, fooling around, being hurt, and also wanting revenge. Well, most of them talk to me, but I can't help them because I'm just a tiny little girl.
My grandmother, Lanara, saw my unbelievable ability, and then she thought many things about God, devils, angels, demons, heaven, hell, and humans.
You can say that my grandmother is insane because she is teaching a 3-year-old child about this kind of stuff.
But for me, it is different.
I felt amazed by her words. And then I realized everything, little by little.
I don't know who my parents are or where they are now. But when I asked a question about my parents, Grandmother Lanara always said, "They will always be on your side, my dear. Don't worry. Soon you will know." Then she smiled and hugged me so tight. Then, I never asked her about them.
When I was 6 years old, my grandmother permitted me to use her room in the attic. No one is allowed to go in there except the grandmother. Because all of her stuff about gods, angels, demons, and spiritual things is in there. I began to read all of the books on the old bookshelf in that room.
Then I turned 12, and my grandmother died. There were no wounds, scars, or infections in her body. But I saw a shadow near her.
"Who are you?
"Blefon, the Grim Reaper. I was assigned to take her."
"Where?"
"In hell."
"W-what? Why!? My grandmother never did bad in her entire life, nor am I with her."
"No matter what she does, her sins will never be erased. You don't know her very well. Young Jerusalem, you don't have to be her. Be what you want to be."
"What do you mean? I don't understand."
"You will see if you are permitted by him."
I don't know what I am supposed to do or act at the time. I was stuffed and couldn't blink because the darkness was surrounding him.
The funeral of my grandmother ended well. Then I felt a strange feeling that I wanted to go to that room quickly. So I ran as fast as I could. I've reached my destination. I opened the door, and a girl appeared.
"Are you Avegil Nera Jerusalem?"
"Aahmm.....yes?"
"My name is Demina Froyzer. I have come to pick you up."
"What?"
"Are you an idiot, or perhaps deaf?"
"HA!? I heard you loud and clear, you know."
"Then shall we go?"
"Eh?"
A strange girl just like my age appeared in my grandmother's attic and then asked me to come with her. Well, it was really strange and fishy, but my instinct told me that I had to come with her.
Eight years have passed...
"Good morning, God Almighty. Grace to share and hopes to gain. Let our hearts grow and make sins go-ugh!"
While praying, I felt a hard object hit my head, and I shout how hurt it was. So I turned around and saw the one who hit me.
"What the?"
It was Sister Demina. Holding a wooden broom and wearing a grumpy face that wants me to be thrown outside the church.
"What are you saying?"
While uttering those words, she is glaring at me very sharply, like a knife that wants to cut my throat out.
"Eh? Ha? Well, I'm praying to greet him."
"Is that how to pray?"
With her stare and standing position, she is like the demon that has always been with me throughout my years. Though she is very skilled and angelic on the outside, her significance is extraordinary.
"Yeah~ HAHA, that's how I pra- ugh! You already hit me twice!"
"How unholy, Priestess Nera."
"The unholy thing in here was you, who hit me with that broom twice, and I can feel a bump growing on me."
"You deserve it, Priestess."
"Wait, what's with the broom anyway?"
"It was your time to shine. Do your chores outside, then clean the seats as well."
"Grrr, this is stupid."
"What?"
"Okay, fine. I'll do it. Don't hit me again, okay?"
Demina and I were the only members of the Glemoir Church.
The country of Kerstrynon. Where gods and demons fight in the region of Rodrugh. Kerstrynon has three regions. Berzion, Rodrugh, and Whilterv. Each region has five cities.
In Berzion, they are rich in mine production. Orbs, gold, jewels, and other minerals or gems that they can use. Claveron, the gold city. Shiltryn, the jewel city. Frixdew, the silver city. Yerntyke, the bronze city. And Huffetel, the metal and orb city.
Whilterv is famous for handcrafts and magic spells. Known to have the greatest power in Kerstrynon. Wisteria holds the power of water. Eanthea holds the power of the earth. Flanera holds the power of fire. Whimblem holds the power of wind and Gredgeshil, the land of the unknown. Gredgeshil was the only place that the first person, Xertey the 1st, said when he discovered it, and no one was allowed to enter it.
Lastly, the Rodrugh is the region of life. Plants and animals are full of life. The humanities population is a great number. Everyone is expected to do their chores every day. But that was in the past. In this year of a new era, the people of Astarnian are poor. Low in food, water, and quality of shelter to live. That's because the war between demons and gods happened in this city. Astarnian is the center of Rodrugh. Metheldom and Ciglirwar, these cities work as one to increase the growth of plants. Herbs, flowers, and trees can be useful in everyday life. While Thybewfil and Pertoque are the lands of animal paradise,. Harmful or non-harmful animals are in their care. Poultry animals are indeed needed for us to eat; that's why they intend to release animals that can be hunted and live in their desired habitats.
My only mission is to regain the hope and peace of the land of Astarnian. I want the people to believe that there's still hope and light in the sky that can cure their pain. I am the savior that they need.
But I still need to gather information. About my family, my grandmother, and me. I don't know who I am exactly, but by saving the lives of humanity, I will gain knowledge about the life that they had.
"Priestess Nera!"
"What is it, Demina?"
"Someone requested your presence."
"Who?"
