Chapter 1 - The Start

Nyssa

I spent the first nine months of my life buried in books. My mother taught me language and how to speak she taught me magic too. I always look forward to seeing her my father however never talked to me he was always training or not home. I got curious. Seeing father practice and swing his sword every day so I wanted to try. I waited until I thought he left the training hall for the day. I entered and picked up his sword.

"It is heavy really heavy I can barely swing it how does father do it" I questioned suddenly I heard footsteps coming.

"The only reason it's difficult for you is because you're only nine months old Nyssa that sword is twice your size" my father said.

"How can I get strong just like you father?"

"You're not even a year old yet Nyssa you don't need to be strong yet just enjoy your young years trust me they disappear faster than you think" he said with a faint smile.

"But I want to father it's fun watching you train I want to try please?"

"No Nyssa enjoy your youth while you have it you're already to grown up to much you can speak properly and walk hell you can even run at nine months old you speak four languages flawlessly you're an anomaly you don't need to learn to fight to just stay young" he said sternly before stomping out of the room clearly angry.

"Bu-but I just want to le-learn father please" i said quietly sobbing

He can't hear me anyway it doesn't matter.

As I walk back to my room i decide that if he won't teach me I'll teach myself.

Mother has already taught me how to use magic and the basics of essence I'll teach myself how to get stronger and how to fight. I just have to make sure he doesn't find out.

For months I would go to the library and research how i could get faster and stronger. I also read ever book or scroll i could on combat whether it was tactics, fighting styles, magical combat, and battle arts everything regarding any form of combat possible I studied restlessly. While also training and practicing every day for five months the armory was locked so i could only practice hand to hand but that was enough. I used lightning magic to create bolts of lightning to dodge it took a couple weeks of pain but I was finally able to dodge them flawlessly.

I wonder what dad meant when he said I was an anomaly I've never seen or heard anyone else does he mean to say I'm special?

I thought while I dodged the last bolt.

"Bravo Nyssa you completely ignored my wishes what are you now an even bigger freak of nature" my father said walking into the training hall.

"I wanted to train to practice combat-" I started before he interrupted me

"You went against everything I told you you little brat if you want to act like an adult you're only a year old you're supposed to listen" he said as he slapped me.

"W-Why father that hurt"

"that was the point Nyssa if that is the only way to make you listen then I have no choice"

"I did nothing wrong I didn't interrupt you or mother I just wanted to learn"

"NO since you want to keep arguing pick up your weapon and show me you can make your own choices" father said gesturing to my bracers on the floor

"Wh-what" i stuttered

"You heard me you're only one year old yet think you can do what you want when you want no you can't you listen to me and your mother and that's final so come out here and show mee you can make your own choices" he said walking to the center of the room timidly I followed him there.

"Mother never gets mad at me for practicing magic why do you treat me like I'm a monster"

"BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU'RE ONE YEAR OLD BUT CAN DODGE LIGHTNING SPEAK SIX LANGUAGES YOU CAN WEAVE UNIVERSE TIER SPELLS YOU'RE ONLY ONE YOU'RE A FREAK AN ANOMALY A PRODIGY AND FOR ALL THAT STRENGTH ABD POWER YOU'RE STILL AN EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE BITCH" he screamed at me

"…"

"STOP CRYING AND SPEAK"

"…"

"Fine since you won't speak I'll start"

He launched at me ready to hit me.

I won't protect myself he's bluffing just testing me he has to be he would never hit me.

I realized to late that he fully intended to hit me. As his first connected with my face i heard my jaw break and saw teeth and blood fly from my mouth.

Why it hurts I can't feel my face why won't he stop.

"PLEASE" I begged screaming "JUST STOP IT HURTS" 

"SO NOW YOU DECIDE TO SPEAK"

"STOP PLEASE PLEASE YOU'RE HURTING ME"

"I HATE YOU NYSSA WHY DO YOU EXIST"

He continued to hit me over and over and over again as I watched blood spew from my face hearing him scream he hates me until everything went black. As I woke up I saw an unfamiliar woman with her hair in twin tails and so black I felt like I could see the void. I was paralyzed when I locked eyes with her they were the same color as her hair but felt like I was staring into an endless abyss I felt pure terror just looking at her. As her ghostly white figure seemed to just materialize before me I could see she was slim but clearly she wasn't as weak as she looked. As I became fully alert i realized i was laying in my mother lap.

"Nyssa" my mother said looking down at me.

"MOTHER" I screamed immediately wrapping my arms around her "who is she she's scary?"

"She is a good friend would you introduce yourself to my daughter please" mother said

"Of course Mei I am Dread the leader of the four archangels serving the death goddess" Dread spoke without an ounce of emotion.

"Isn't dread an emotion?" I asked confused.

"Yes it is there are four of us Dread, Terror, Hope, and Anger"

"Anyway Nyssa can you tell me what happened back there with your father I don't really know what happened he didn't say anything he just left after he saw me once I got to you you were unconscious and barely alive so i healed you" my mother interrupted.

"I was practicing in the training hall and he came in and got really angry I don't know why and he attacked me" I said looking down beginning to tear up. "He said I was a fr-freak and an anomaly"

"You're not freak sweetheart but you are an anomaly" my mother said

"I am but how what does that mean?"

"No one at your age can do half of what you can some adults can't you're special you're the granddaughter of knowledge you're going to learn things instantly and forever remember them that godly blood in your veins will benefit you forever but that doesn't make you a freak there is more to tell you but that will be when you're older."

I stared at mother wide eyed.

The granddaughter of knowledge I'm the granddaughter of the god of knowledge that is so cool.

"What Felix did is unacceptable attacking a nine month old if you wish I will dispose of him immediately Lady Mei"

"No Dread you know very well we can't kill him if we could I'd do it myself but sadly he's vital to the empire so even though both of us could toss him around like a toddler and it definitely is fun to imagine we can't do that"

"Understood my lady"

"Anyway Nyssa I have made your father relocate to the opposite side of the manor and but up a barrier he cannot cross as for why dread Is here she is my gift to you I understand you want to learn to fight and wield physical weapons so I used a favor she owed me she will be your instructor there is no better person to learn from besides the death goddess herself dread is considered the pinnacle of physical combat though do be warned you will not have it easy" my mother said smiling

"You're training and studies will start the moment you leave this room until I deem your training complete you will be training everyday day and night when you are sleeping or showering it does not matter the time or the place it will not stop until I deem you worthy do you understand" Dread stated with a menacing smirk on her face.

"YES YES MOTHER YOU'RE THE BEST I LOVE YOU " I yelled as I ran to the door
