Chapter 2: CHAPTER 1 : WHERE AM I?
On Amethyst 15, a war will start between the Ernaline (Line-iers) and Vacaville (Ville-iers). Everyone seems to be so prepared for the upcoming war but then, not everyone are ready to risk their lives just to protect their Cities.
Ernaline and Vacaville have been enemies since the day I was born. You might think that Ernaline and Vacaville are the only cities we have here in Sylo - our world.
Actually, there are a lot. But just like North and South Korea, we are not united. Who are in South Sylo? Ernaline, Leggtown, Zip city, Minneha and Sunizona.
For the North Sylo they are: Vacaville, Fashadd, Mythic, Killen and Shafter. North Sylo are our opponents. There are no other rulers of this world but the Vacaville and Ernaline.
The purpose of the war, is to know who should be the leading City to rule the world - our world.
So much for the information, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Seraphina. One of the strongest Line-ier in our city - oh, not "one of the". But I actually am the strongest. Not that I'm being arrogant here or what, but just to add some informations about me.
Here in Sylo, it depends on your community if they would be willing to give half of their hidden talents to you. And guess what? I received 125 hidden talents all thanks to those Minn-iers, Zip-iers, Suni-iers and Le-iers.
When i was born (actually, i was never born). Each year, asteroids enters our world and the number of asteroids we'll caught, are just the number of new born babies. I'm actually glad that the Line-iers chose to catch me. Hihi!
So much for the introduction, let's proceed!
"Oh dear! Where have you been? Didn't I give you a task to take care of the baby asteroids? It might have cracks since it's their time of the date!" said the old lady.
No, i'm just kidding. She's still young to be called an old lady. But she talks as if she IS an old lady. Psh.
Her name's Margarette. A good friend of mine but she'd rather treat me as her young sibling than be friends with her. How harsh.
"Pardon me, Margarette! But.. the task you gave me is a lot boring than I thought. Why don't you see it for yourself? Can't you give me a harder task? I'm old enough to accept heavy tasks!"
I'm eighteen. Isn't it still a valid reason to do the same tasks as them? For my eighteen years of existence, all they ask me to do is keep my eyes on the baby asteroids! I'm so sick of this task! I wonder who was the last person in charge of taking care of these while I was still an asteroid? Tss.
Margarette slightly hit my nape, "You may be old on the outside but i don't see any changes of your personality. Still childish like a kid."
"I am not childish! I'm a happy woman but never a childish!" I emphasized each words that comes out through my mouth. "BOTH have difference!"
I stomped my feet as I turn my back and leave that room. I slammed the door which gives the Syans (name of the people who lives in Sylo) to look at me until I get out.
"Who does she think she is? I'm eighteen and she's twenty! It's just a two year gap and she's saying I am NOT mature?!" due to anger, i turned back and stared at the place.
I used my hidden talent - my vision to see what she's doing inside. And enabled my hearing talent to know if they're talking about me again.
And I am not wrong! Hmp, as expected.
"Don't mind her. She just can't accept the fact that she's not on the same level as we are."
"That woman is getting on my nerves. I almost lose control. I was about to use my talent to her if only she didn't left."
"Oh, don't you dare, sweetie. Seraphina's the strongest. You'd get triple punch if you did that."
"I know, tiya. I just.. hate her for being unique."
I disabled my hidden talent. They're at it again. They are again hating me for being unique! Can they blame me? Can they blame me if I received 125 talents from our Syans?
Why do you hate me so much, Margarette?
I closed my vision and ran away from our place.
I'm receiving too much hate in this city. And whenever I'm receiving hates from them, I teleport.
I go to Minneha where Syans there are nice and always glad to see me.
And voila! Hello, Minn-iers!
"Look, it's Seraphina!"
"Hi Seraphina! It's been a while since your last visit. What brings you here?"
Why am I not born here?
I have real friends here. Cora and Deanne. Cora's hidden talent is to freeze the season. Deanne's hidden talent is hypnotism. And i have their talents as well.
One of my favorite talents that i have is that I can copy somebody else's talent with the use of physical touch. So, to be exact, i got two hundred and fifty talents! Oops, sorry. I ain't greedy of talents but it just happened when I wasn't still able to control my talent so yeah.. i almost have everybody's hidden talents.
"Same reason." we started walking, greeting every Minn-iers i'll meet. "What were you guys doing while I am not around?"
"Go tell her, Deanne! Deanne has a lot of questions and complaints to tell to you, Sera. It's better to cover your ears before listening to it."
I winked at Deanne. "Try me,"
She breathe in then breathe out and later after five seconds she spilled ALL the beans!
"It just seems so unfair, okay? Why can't we Minn-iers join force with you? Why does it have to be just Line-iers? You have us, Zip-iers , Le-iers and Suni-iers! We are so ready to fight back but your city is just so.. conceited much they don't consider us as your sidekicks! I just thought that maybe you could do something about it, Sera? I'm sure they'd listen to you because another info.. we've heard that the Ville-iers have their sidekicks! So, why not let us join your war? We'd love to join! We are willing to take a risk, Sera!"
She ran out of breath. After all that she said, the Minn-iers stood around me. Agreeing to what Deanne said.
I glanced at Cora and she's also nodding her head then to Deanne who seems to be practicing how to do pleading eyes because it's the first time I saw her eyes pleading for something she wanted to have.
I got nothing else to say but.. "I'll talk to them." and they all screamed of happiness so I made myself clear, "BUT. But.. i can't promise you that they'd listen to me. You know how much the Line-iers hate me for being unique, right?"
Their faces looks as if they lose their hopes. So I got nothing else to say to lighten the mood but, "Okay. I'll try my very best to convince them. I promise."
Oh shoot. Why did I say that? It's a strong word! Oh no. If I get to break that promise, I swear I'd never get back here! I am not welcome here anymore! Oh no.
After few hours of spending time with these Syans, I have decided to go home. I stood up and fixed my wardrobe before I wave goodbye to them, "See you when I see you around!"
"We don't see you around. You visit us!" Cora corrected.
I chuckled, "It's just a phrase. Anyway, wish me luck!"
"Oh dear! How I wish you succeed!" said Deanne.
I glanced at all Minn-iers before I teleported back home. And as I get home.. I see Syans not united enough to join force on the upcoming war. Minn-iers are right. They should join us.
I ran to our place where baby asteroids stays and where Line-iers train themselves. As I arrived, I saw how Margarette practices and strenghtens her talent to an imaginary opponent - the air.
"Margarette!" I waved my hand when she turns around and ran to her. "Can you spare me some time? I need to disucss you something."
"Said the girl who does not know anything about proper discussions."
I rolled my eyes and pulled her to the side. "What is it you wanted to discuss with me?" She's being sarcastic again and she even emphasized the word 'discuss'.
"I teleported to Minneha," i saw how bad she reacted when she heard of that City. What is wrong with Minneha that she can't stand hearing it from me?
"How many times do I have to tell you that you should not be friends with the low-tiers, Sera."
I ignored her and proceeded.
"They heard that Vacaville are planning to have their sidekicks on the day of our war. The sidekicks they are pertaining to are the other cities. So, the Minn-iers suggested that they'd join force with us. Let them be our sidekicks. Margarette, they are willing to take a risk just to help us rule this world!"
"How pathetic!" she screamed. "Are you hearing yourself? Who knows? That those low-tiers are planning to stab us from behind. Keep your eyes wide open, Sera! Gracious. This is one of the reason why Ernaline does not trust you no matter how strong and unique you are!"
I stomped my feet. "This is not the time for you to show how much you hate me! I am trying to help you all here!" Syans from Ernaline has our attention now.
Margarette pointed her index finger to me, "You are never going back to Minneha." she talked in gritted teeth.
"How will you stop me then?"
Tiya came up to us. She pulled us away before anything else could happen. "Oh, dear. Seraphina, please grow up! And you, Margarette, how many times do I have to tell you - "
"This young lady is hundred percent getting on my nerves! She wants the other cities to join force with us! Tiya, do you agree with that?"
Why does everyone hate the other cities? What is wrong if the Syans who lives in other cities are Low-tiers? I don't get it even if they explain it all to me. Is it right to underestimate others just because we're at the highest level?
I can tell that even Tiya and the other Line-iers are completely disappointed with me - big time. And so am I! I don't get their point after all!
"Seraphina,"
I lift my hand. Overused my talent to stop them all from moving. "Seraphina, don't use your talent in the baddest way!"
"Why would I be good to you when you've never been good to anyone?! You are so conceited! I hate you for taking me here!"
I can feel my eyes turning red as I ready the fire formed in my hands. I'm again.. losing control of my hidden talents.
"You are SO leaving this City!" my eyes widened with what Margarette said.
I lost control of my talents and let go of them. After eighteen years of my existence, she finally said it. She's going to kick me out of the city?
"Where are you taking me then?" i arched my eyebrow.
"You choose. You'll leave Ernaline and return us half of your hidden talents or leave the other cities behind and grow up!"
I walked up to her, two meters away, "I don't care where you're taking me. But one thing is for sure.. you'll never get something you're greedy of."
Before she could have the chance to talk, again, I ran away and tried to teleport but due to so much anger and sadness I am losing control of my talents. Instead of setting a fire, I teleported to places I don't know.
I'm starting to get confused of what is happening but for some reason, I find it better. Until I teleported to Vacaville without me knowing that myself brought me here..
All Ville-iers are preparing themselves for the war that all of them are showing off their skills it was giving me a hard time to avoid the spheres heading towards me. I get to avoid them twice. But then the third one..
"Watch out!"
I got hit. It was too fast I didn't manage to use my speed which turns out that I got kicked out somewhere..
somewhere..
Wait.
No. Don't tell me I'm leaving this world! NO! TAKE ME BACK TO SYLO! MARGARETTE! HELP!
Where the hell is this thing taking me?! What kind of sphere is that that it took me away from my world?!
"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
After all the screams I had while I was being thrown away from Sylo, I fell on a.. uhm.. what the hell is this? Am I seeing Crysys (reincarnated Syans which in Earth it means animals) right now?
Oh my. It is a Crysys! But what is this thing in my body? Smells stinky and uhm.. are these muds? What? Where the hell am I?
One thing is for sure to know where am I.
"MARGARETTE!!!"
I tried to stand up but I end up falling because of this stinky sticky thing in my feet! And the Crysys are coming up to me!
"Oink oink"
Oh, dear. This was the first time I lost control of my talent that I end up somewhere else! I looked around and noticed that this isn't really Sylo anymore.
Why am I seeing tall figures? I am seeing different clothes here. I'm not seeing anyone practicing their talents. Seriously, where am I?
