Once was a girl named hoshino Yona. A typical high schooler in country of Japan.. She was the only daughter a hoshino ayamura. A well known businessman all throughout Japan. Though her father passed away when she was 5 leaving all his fortune to her. 

Her aunt who took pity out on Yona, offered to adopt her until she comes to the age of 18. so until then she offered to take care of both the business and the Yona. 

From the eyes of outsiders, it was a great dee d done by her aunt to take an orphan in however only Yona knew the truth. Truthfully she hoped that she rather lived alone. It was as if she became a Modern Cinderella. Her life became a nightmare. All her belongings were cruelly taken by her aunt and her cousin. 

The business was suffering from loses because her aunt gave an opportunity to whoever sucked their boots. A compliment of beauty was enough to make her sign billions worth projects.

Now Yona is 16 years old. In a week she is going to be a high schooler in the most prestigious private high school of Japan. 'Nightingale Private school'. Students from all around the world has dreams to attend this prestigious school as only elites of elites can enter this school and no graduate didn't end up not becoming a popular figure in this school.

Yona has always been a smart child. She received scholarships from the school since she was an elementary school. But she was not a popular student even though she had dazzling looks and brains. She was considered as an outcast in the school. 

It mostly happened because she was never a person to talk to anyone and she was openly bullied by her cousin's gang. Her cousin was a student there too as her aunt bribed her way through to the school.Yona's life was hell. 

She hated that she was born. And with her appearance. That's right. She had an unusual appearance. Non like any human in the world. She had bloody crimson hair and yellowish eyes. Like a beast. If she could she could have died for so long but she lacked confidence.

One day she went out to get her new uniform to the high school and then she went to the book shop nearby take her favorite biology magazine which come out every month. Then as she walked through the road toward the subway as she looked through the magazine. 

The road was noisy but suddenly it was silent. It was so silent you could here even if a leaf fell down. Yona noticed this change as she looked up. It was as if everything froze in to this air. Nobody was moving.

Then she heard a voice.

''Melinoë''.. the voice called out.

 The voice was rough yet Yona felt the warmth through those words. Again the voice called out. "My child, Melinoë" 

for some reason Yona's eyes were filled with tears. "Father" her voice came out her mouth without her knowledge. But the language she spoke was not of anything from this world. Even if it was it is now long gone. It was ancient greek language.

"That's right. My daughter." The voice spoke again " it is time that you wake up from your nightmare. My beloved daughter." As soon as Yona heard this, a flash of memory came to her head. 

She felt so much pain in her head that she fell on her knees. Again the noise of road continued as if nothing happened. Only Yona was affected by it. She couldn't bear the pain in her head. 

Some unknown memories were floating to her head. People were looking at her. She could hear people talking to her but she couldn't hear them properly. 

Her brain was filled with so many memories. She couldn't hold out anymore. She passed out....

..

After the incident Yona woke up. When she looked around it was dark yet she felt so familiar. She felt so FREE. It was as if that place belong to her and only her. Some of her memories settled down in her brain. She mainly remember who she was.

She was who they called the goddess of ghosts, 

Princess of darkness.. she who wielded the power of insanity. 

The darkest wielder of the darkest mana and the bringer of nightmares.

 She who can take many and any forms, she who banishes souls to the pits of hell. 

"MELINOË "

She realized that she was the daughter of hades, the king of the underworld. But she felt like something was missing. Some of her memories were still blur. She only remembered she was never alone. She had someone beside her. Melinoe was not a one soul. She was that of a two souls. One is white. One is dark. All she remember was that she was the dark part of melinoe. She spent time in the dark place for so many hours trying to remember about everything. But seems to can not even find out what was the cause to the end of her immortal life.

Spending more time in the dark place brought her back more memories. 

She remembered her past lives after her immortal life perished. That's right. Her soul lived even though her life as melinoe perished. 

She was almost 2000 years old. At least her soul was. In her very life she felt like she was searching for someone. Someone who she loves dearly. Someone who she never seem to forget yet somehow forgot.

Her mind was restless. She spent 3 days in the dark place as she remembered all her powers and she got herself the ability of controlling ghosts back. Every dark powers she wielded. Everything came back. Spending time there was cozy but she felt the need to go back. 

She wanted to find the truth about how she died and she had some business unfinished in this world where she has to punish those foolish humans who dared to harm her. After all she is the darkest part of the princess of darkness.

As soon as she thought she want to go back, in a blink of eye a bright light came blinding. She spent so much time in the dark pit her eyes started to hurt a little. 

When she open her eyes, she was in a hospital. She was in a bed in a crowded ward with so much noise. She got up and looked around. Then a nurse came. She looked as at Yona as if she was garbage.

"Where am I" Yona questioned. She couldn't help but feel the the hostility coming from the nurse. But a mountain never shakes just because a dog barks. Thus she didn't even care.

"HN private hospital." The nurse said " you were just transferred just now. But you are already awake. Why bother us if you don't even take treatment. Give me your identification. You need to pay for the ambulance fees"

Yona couldn't help but laugh. She didn't say a word and gave her ID to the nurse.

" Last time I checked I was the owner of this hospital" Yona spoke up. Everyone could see her aura even if they were mere mortals. "And pack up your things, you are fired"
