I came from a long line of priestesses, for years our family has guarded a secrete, a prophecy that had the potential, of breaking humans, or bring them together,
Its been three hundred years, since one of my ancestor, decided to give the prophecy to the world,
The lines went like this, "there will come a time where a beast will be born, from all the evil men sow unto this word, a being of hunger, and anger, one who will wreath the world of darkness, blood, and flame, and he will give back what has been sown into the world, and men will pay for their sins"
My ancestor thought that, with the prophesy men will stray from their evil ways, but how wrong she was, for men did not stop, in fact they committed more atrocities, men decided to hunt every creature with an affinity for fire and darkness,
But what they did not know was that there was another verse of the prophecy, which was not included,
"be careful of the one who bears the blessings of god, for there is no beast like a man wronged by the world" that's how it goes.
In this world different races exist, there are the elves a bunch of peace loving folks, who live in the forest of Yggdrasil, they rarely live their domain, spending their time in the culture of art, living tranquilly with nature, they loath violence, but that doesn't mean they are weak, it is the opposite in fact, with their long lifespan, they perfect their weaponry, and they are able to utilise the energy the world tree produces, which they called, "mana"
Mana couldn't be used, by other races apart from the elves, to other races it was no different from poison.
Then we have the dark elves, distant cousins of the elves, lives in the dark forest, at the border of the demon realm.
It was believed that the dark elves came to be, when an elving princess fell in love with a demon, and their union was what brought about the dark elves, but it was not without its consequence, when the dark elves come of age, they have to choose between their demonic nature, and elving roots, if not the conflict of mana the energy of life, and miasma the energy of decay,
Most dark elves choose, miasma, because choosing mana turns them into sprites, making them hunger for the energy of life mana, but the elves wont let them close to yggdrasil, causing them to feed of nature or slowly fade away.
Then we have the beast folks, humans with animal feature, physically strong, with great sensitivity, there's been records of beast folk, punching a hole through hills, or smelling some one from all the way from the edge of rock valley, to the other edge.
Beast folks normally live in tribes, there are constant, tribal disputes, and warring between tribes, so they are a race of warrior's, causing other races to be weary of crossing their territory.
Then there's us humans, a weak race, but what we lack in strength, we make up for in numbers, we occupy most of the land, living in the central continent,
There are five major continent, the central continent, where we humans stay,
Then there is green continent, home of elves,
The dark continent, home of demons and dark elves,
Beast continent home of beast folks,
Then there is the last continent, the forbidden continent home of monster's and beast, covered in thick dark clouds, the sky above it, always grey, like the personification of gloom.
With all this powerful races, humans still succeeded in being the major race, weak humans wanting power sort out different ways of getting stronger, until they met them the daemons, beings with godly powers.
Daemons were monsters who grew so strong that the world will, had to cast them to another dimension, because even their breath could change the area around them,
Daemons sorting a way to still influence the world with their will, gave men a deal,
Carry on their will and they will be given a portion of their power, weak humans sorting power agreed, and with the power they got from the daemon, men sort to conquer more land, plunging the world into war, but at last, the war proved meaningless, as the other were still stronger than men, so after years of fighting, the war came to an end.
But by the time, the war end humans already made enemies of all race, and now even till our time the other race still hold a grudge.
Thak! The sound of a book being closed was heard,
"hah! That was an interesting read "
In a room full of books, as far as the eyes could see, a young lady could be seen, reading by the window, the young lady closed the book shut, standing up from where she was sitting, placing the book back to where it belong.
Creak! The sound of the door opening could be heard,
The young lady continued what she was doing, without turning her head, before calling out,
"Mai, does my mother, request my presence "
" yes young miss"
Stepping out the door, was an impeccable dressed maid, brown hair tied to a ponytail,
Bowing her head she stepped closer to her young miss.
The young lady after placing the book in her hand back to where it belonged, headed for the door, with the maid Mai, walking behind her, head bowed.
_________________________
Moments later, knock! Knock! The young lady reached in front of a door, before knocking on it.
"may I come in mother " she asked politely.
"come in"
A voice came from behind the door, the young lady after hearing the voice behind the door, opened the door, before entering.
Inside, the first thing the young lady saw was a beautiful lady who radiated, the aura of a successful woman, confidence oozing from her being, golden hair, symmetrical small round face, and adorning it were, glazed golden eyes, that felt like it has seen through the world.
"good day mother " when the lady stepped into the office, she greeted her mother, while bowing her head.
" good day dare, how was your day Rose "
" thank you for asking, it was wonderful, I spent my time in the library, reading the 30th matriarch journal "
" and what do you make of it "
" it was like a fairy tale, really interesting "
" oh! Anyway, your coming of age rite is in three day's, prepare your self "
" yes mother "
" that is all you may leave "
Bowing her head one more time to her mother, she left the office.
Alone in the office, her mother Diana Angel's, let out a sigh,
" sigh! I hope everything goes well "
