I still remember it, a mid-summer hazy day. In a green meadow covered between dew grass stood the tallest tree. A boy of 16 was laying on one of the tree's many branches. He has striking black hair and ocean blue eyes

It was me joyfully loafing around before the turning point of my life. My friend Eric was calling for me at the bottom of tree. "Lyric, come on man, get up are you really going late for your enlightenment also."

Enlightenment a common practice in the world of Zephyris. At the age of 16 all the boys and girls of every part of the world will take part in enlightenment ceremony which is conducted during the day of Lunas. They will blessed either by the god of darkness Nox or by goddess of light Lumina, and receive their classes and contribute to the kingdom.

And today's the day of my enlightenment I was wondering what kind of class I will get. I jumped down from the tree and ran to my friend his name was Eric he had crimson red hair and eyes , he was the son of director of the orphanage.

"Orphanage" you heard it right I was a orphan I was abandon by my parents for some reason. I was found with a twin ring a small one on a big one and a note stating my name in blood inside a basket (kinda ominous I know ) and raised in elderwood sanctuary ran by Eric father Finn Grey in the village of Oakdale near Lunara.

It was my home and world there were many children like me. I was bullied sometimes by other kids because I was weak. In truth I was not that scrawny or easily breakable, just I didn't want create trouble for the orphanage and I liked to read. But Eric always stood beside me.

A scene flashed in my mind. during my 12, a normal day where I sitting on a swing the kids of neighborhood and the son of the village chief Jake surrounded me and threw stones on me shouting that I have black hair as black is considered as bad omen in the village, you see the chief was a old fashioned person who always supported his son.

It was the time when Eric and Finn was out of town for a trade issue. I tried to resist as much as I can. Jake is this boy with Auburn Hair and Amber Eyes

" stop resisting, it's useless Eric is also not around what will you do? shout for help who will help you? now, now come and kneel at my shoe and lick it I may consider letting you go."

suddenly a beautiful girl of my age with Rose Gold Hair and Purple Eyes wearing a white robe with frills and shiny amethyst jade necklace and long white pant suddenly jumped out of nowhere and kicked Jake in his shin.( it was first time I felt bad for him ).

" Don't you don't know anything other than bullying" her voice was sweet.

She turned to me "are you okay?".

A boy in the group tried to punch her, but she effortlessly tackled him 

"Stop!!"

Jake stood up and saw the purple jade on her neck his face went dark and ran out of the scene with other.

The mysterious girl didn't tell her name or who she is, but I still remember a promise I gave to her that I will be stronger. I gave her the smaller part of my ring as a memento.

And she disappeared in a flash .

 And I ran towards the city with my friend.
