An Angel's Wings

Chapter 1

A young boy, age 10, was wandering about a thickly wooded area. He had blue hair and eyes, and he was scared. On his back were folded two perfectly white wings.

His fear was truly shown when a great beast leapt at him from behind the trees. His wings shot out to protect him. The close vicinity of the trees hindered his movements and he hoped help would come soon.

The beast in front of him may have been a large boar, or a bear, or something else entirely. All that mattered was that this young, innocent boy had entered it's territory and he would pay dearly for it. It made a sound with some semblance to a roar and a screech before charging him.

He let out a yell as the beast's horn rammed into his right shoulder. The winged boy flew backwards until he hit a large tree, falling in a crumpled, bleeding heap on the earth below. Blue eyes struggled to open as he felt thundering footsteps nearing him.

A red blur raced to guard him from his left, landing between him and the charging beast. His vision was blurry and he couldn't make out what the figure looked at. Red encompassed his sight; red hair, red eyes...red...

It may have even been a girl...

The new boy screeched something the blue eyed child could no longer decipher before he passed out on the cold ground, now somewhat stained in blood. A light explosion of sudden air ruffled his hair, followed by a low thud near by his unconscious form.

'This world in which we live has changed drastically from what it once was in the past. In the 21st century, technology flourished and the human race seemed to be doing quite well for themselves. But exploration of space caused the abrupt end to this time.

Humans found and brought back fragments of what was believed to be a planet that was destroyed thousands of years ago. We didn't heed the warning from that belief.

During testing of the fragments, the rocks suddenly exploded, killing off almost half of the world's population, plants, and animals. The rest suffered droughts or flooding, with no food. But slowly, the Earth was healing.

The year 5072 brought about a drastic change in our lifestyles. A child was born who carried wings on his back. He was called an angel. After this birth came many others. The times changed. The After Angel's Era.

In AA 171, the Angel's are considered a whole new species. They are rich and powerful and everyone adores them. The humans who don't possess wings often become workers in the Angel's houses...Servants to their will.

Angel's wings are known to come in two different colors. White or Black with the rarity of Grey. Angel's usually have powers that come along with having their wings, but some never receive these gifts. No one knows when they will receive their powers, and anyone who gives birth to one of the Angel's is thought to have been chosen by God.

My name is Daisuke. I'm 9 years old with no last name. I just saved my best friend from an Airbore. I rarely speak, and I have no special qualities. My hair and eyes are red, and I have no family.

Beasts are a common thing now. They will attack without warning. We were lucky...waking up in a field of white lily petals instead of heaven's clouds.


So? What do you think? This entire first chapter was written during school on notebook paper. Which would explain why I thought it was longer than it is. Sorry guys and gals!
