Megumi Hayashibara Reflection

[Wouldn't recommend reading this. I butchered the starting premium chapter pretty badly, now this is just an incomplete memory.] [ Lynn, Sam and Mahone ] I put my t-shirt down, my hands shaking. I try to ignore them and stare at my reflection in the mirror. My hair color is dark brown and a vague hint of golden. My dad used to say that my eyes are ocean blue. A guy in my history class once said that I had perfect lips. Another guy said that I had a great body. They wanted to date me. And I dated few of them, too. I brush my fingers in my forehead. Then my dark, thick eyelashes. The side of my nose. My lips. I run my hand at my neck, then across my collarbone. Am I beautiful? Honestly, I don't know. Maybe I'm not. "You were wrong, Samlin Greenham." A voice inside my head suddenly whispers. "Calm down, Sammy," another voice whispers. It's the voice I loved. His voice is fading away. My hands start shake again, my breath rapidly quickening. I am losing control. I have to do something. "Goddammit!" I punch the mirror with my fist. It shatters into thousand pieces. My reflection has shattered into thousand pieces, too. The mirror now looks to me like an art. And my bloody knuckles. "I am sorry, Lynn. I can't promise you anymore, because you left me." I bite my lip to stop myself from crying. I won't cry. What's the point of crying? My sixth sense is suddenly alert. Somebody is watching me. I spin around. A guy is standing in front of the door, leaning against it. He wears a tight blue shirt, the sleeves folded. His black hair is ruffled and his hands are folded across his chest. The probable most amazing thing about him is his eyes. They are dark green. They are dangerous, beautiful and incredibly unreadable. And they are watching me.

"Aetheya" An Aetheya is a unique ability that an individual can manifest after experiencing a significant, life-altering event. This power is deeply tied to a person’s beliefs, life experiences, soul, and their true nature. It is not merely a tool or skill—it is a reflection of who they are at their core, and it shapes the choices they make and the path they walk. An Aetheya is a manifestation of one’s inner self, and it is only unlocked when a person undergoes an event that drastically shifts their understanding of the world. This transformative event acts as a catalyst, revealing the latent power within them. Due to the profound and often personal nature of this occurrence, only around 25% of the world’s population is capable of manifesting an Aetheya. The form and function of an Aetheya can vary greatly depending on the individual, but at its heart, it is a reflection of their deepest desires and motivations. However, when a person's desires begin to overpower their sense of self-control, the power can be misused. In these cases, those who give in to their darker urges are called Arai. These individuals are led by the Disasters, the malevolent leaders of this faction, who use their power for selfish or destructive purposes. They often fall into chaos, driven by greed, vengeance, or unchecked ambition. On the other side, there are those who are able to control their desires and channel their Aetheya toward virtuous goals. These individuals are known as Edeyan, and they are guided by the leaders known as Miracles. The Edeyans and Miracles represent the force of good in the world, standing as protectors and defenders against the misuse of power. Their strength comes from their unwavering virtue and their desire to help others, ensuring that their powers serve the greater good. While the Arai and Edeyan factions stand in stark contrast, they share the same origin: the unlocking of one’s Aetheya through a life-changing event. The key difference lies in how they choose to wield their power.

Someone appears, silent as a shadow. They understand every thought, every wound, every quiet dream you’ve hidden away. Who are they? They look at you with your own memories in their eyes, wearing a life that feels like yours—and yet it’s not. They claim to be you. Would you trust them? Would you let them in, knowing they might reveal the parts of yourself you’ve buried the deepest? And if they are indeed a part of you… are you forced to accept them? Do you want to? Their presence stirs something you can’t define—a connection that feels fated, an understanding that runs deeper than you can explain. They slip through the fabric of your life, binding themselves into your existence, as if they’ve always been there, waiting to step forward. Yet behind that familiarity lies a tension, a question that lingers: What if they’re here to reflect not only the best parts of you but also everything you fear to see? Are they here to free you from your own shadows… or to pull you into theirs? Currently Improving Chapters, If some dont make sense, well it will soon. Quality over Quantity (finished polishing! I think, anyway 60 Chapters Woohoo!!!) (Currently busy due to school D; )
