Chapter One: Hieraya the Hybrid
Meruhesae tapped her fingers on the crystal ball. Nothing she needed to see. She already knew all she wanted to. What a waste of good looks on Eclipse. He didn't even like girls. Now, Krayon...completely different story. The Seer groaned, tormented by the thoughts of the wayward Eclipse and the egotistical-but attractive-Krayon and fell back onto her bed. "OHHHHH I HATE YOU, ECLIPSE!" she stomped her feet on the floor and spread her arms in her tantrum, the ornate fan nearly flying from her slender fingers. "Why can't you like ME?" she sniffled, sitting back up and summoning a full-length mirror. "I'm pretty. Raenef is pretty too, but I'M DAMN PRETTY!" she sighed and sensed a vision. "Oh, is Eclipse comin gto see me?" she peered eagerly into the crystal ball. She saw...a...a...
"A HUMAN GIRL!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Hieraya, do you have a minute?"
"Not exactly...why?"
"What I'm about to tell you is very serious..."
"Oh, quit being so dramatic, mother,"
"I don't quite know how to say this..."
~Cliche, mother.~ "Tell me..." the curiosity was more irritation and impatience than it was willingness to know.
"You have an aunt..."
"...So? That's not exactly the event of the century. Why have you not told me this?"
"Because...in a distant country, there's-I've told you this-conflict between mortals and...demons,"
"Not this story again,"
"No. You must believe me. This time...it will affect you. It is your time to carry out an ancient family tradition...I am to put you into the hands of your aunt..."
"...Why? I don't even know her! What for..."
"Meruhesae. The Demon Seer,"
"She...sees demons?" ~fancy name she's got~ the ignorance in the tone was incredible...but typical of Hieraya, spoiled as she was, her stubborn nature nurished by the nonexistant restrictions in the house.
"No. She is The Seer...A psychic demon. The ultimate psychic demon of her generation,"
"You wouldn't be...kidding about this...those fairy tales...of demon lords and Demon Court. Truth..."
"Yes. They are," the woman's face took on a frozen state. ~How can you be so void of feeling, Mother? How do you not even show pain at the thought of losing me? You never loved me...you never loved my sister...anyone...~
"You...expect me to just abide by this random revelation and leave...an eternity of memories, painful most of them...but nevertheless, they are all I have...You want me to stand by and watch my life shatter...It took me 19 years to become used to this Hell," ~And you were no help.~ she laughed. So bitterly. This elder teenager, so fresh and young, was already in the mindset of a tortured, older soul.
"I'm deeply sorry for neglecting you, Hieraya,"
~and your apologies. Your speech. Always so formal. Never with feeling...with meaning...with heart. I don't need to hear this. No more.~
"Wait...if she is a demon..."
"I am also a demon. A less powerful psychic, but a high-order demon. Your father is a mortal,"
~So, you are psychic. Ha. I do not fear that you invade my thoughts. There is nothing here I fear to express openly. Nothing here I try to hide from anyone. Seek into the deep folds of my pain, mother. If this hurts you, you deserve it.~
"I am a hybrid. A thing. A monster. How truly amusing. Should I join a circus now?" again, the bitter laugh.
"Please understa-"
"I think it is you who must understand," Hieraya's eyes turned into black flames as she spoke through clenched teeth. Was she even aware of those eyes? Those orbs which clearly showed her inhuman blood? "I do not so much mind being a half-and-half...So I'm a monster. I could work that to my advantage. What truly bothers me is WHY you kept this a secret from me. What, you think I couldn't handle it? I'm really that much of a fool? You could have at the very least allowed time for me to prepare for this...ripping me away from my only home and world," no sceaming. Barely a hint of a raised voice level. So demon-like of her to keep her tone at a dry coldness.
"No more." Hieraya shook her head and left the house, wandering through the village until she found herself comfortably seated at a table on the patio of a restaurant.
She rubbed her temples with her fingers. Hieraya studied her hands after the motion. Her hands were small, but the fingers were slender, though not exactly delecate or fragile. The fingernails were shiny and slightly sharp by nature. She closed her hands into fists, pulling in the fingers one by one. They followed each other in an un-planned, fluid motion. Had she always moved like this? With fluidity and demonic grace? Damn the demons. ~Damn us all~
"Hieraya," she looked up. Not her mother. Thank Rased!
"Feurae," how comforting it was to see the smiling face of her younger sister.
"Sister, why are you here by yourself in such contorting discomfort?"
"Do I appear so rough and obvious?"
"Maybe I just know your subtleties too well,"
"Come. Sit and have dinner with me,"
"...Mother will be mad,"
"Mother's got her hands full,"
"With who?...need I ask anymore..."
"I am not to blame..."
Feurae cocked her head, confused.
"Sit and I will tell," Feurae slid into the chair opposite Hieraya's. Hieraya noticed that her sister's movements were of a practiced grace. She recalled Feurae's kindergarten years, when their mother had sent the younger sister to a mannerisms school of sorts. ~Are you not as demonic as I? Are you missing the Hellish motions of a demon?~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What an insult...getting a new Seer like that. Am I too old?" Meruhesae nearly pressed her face against the mirror as she checked for any hint of a wrinkle or imperfection in her skin.
"Hmm at least she doesn't want to come. Maybe she won't...I hope the Council didn't hear that..." she felt like she was about to be struck by lightning. It felt more like a premonition than it was a mere feeling...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Dinner, Master Raenef!"
"YAY, you-I mean-the cooks made my favorites! And no tomatoes!" Raenef had actually dodged a potentially catastrophic situation! (gasp) Eclipse was still a *little* touchy about his secret being exposed. He was just about ready to make everything "go boom" when Erutis, Chris, and Raenef saw him in the kitchen donning a pretty pink apron and everything...
That was rich.
~I should go find Erutis and Chris...~ Raenef suspected that Erutis was practicing with that wooden sword again. As for Chris...well, he'll follow the savory smells of food sooner or later. Heh.
Indeed, Erutis was standing on an obelisk-ish pillar at the front entrance, practicing various sword forms, her balance unwavering no matter how much her arms moved.
Raenef, having recently mastered levitation, silently sneaked up behind Erutis, the air not stirring a bit except for the swift movements of the wooden stick.
Mr. Sunshine put on his best smile and screamed, "HI ERUTIS!!!!!!!!"
"GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Erutis did something that Raenef could have never predicted! She actually fell backwards OFF of the Pillar! (gasp...again)
~Uh-oh...~
Erutis fell on her butt. Typical. Raenef expected Chris to appear and say "Well of course, since your butt is so heavy..."
Erutis was ready to bash Raenef's head in when Eclipse appeared. ~Dammit...~ the tutor smiled with forbearance and was about to say something when the Council appeared, standing between him and Raenef.
"The demon Eclipse is acquainted with the Seer, Meruhesae..."
"Yes," ~unfortunately~
"Eclipse, what's going on?" Raenef scratched his head.
"Meruhesae is aunt to a half-human. But this hybrid is to carry on the family tradition and become the next Seer. The hybrid is to become apprentice to the Seer...except...the hybrid, who goes by the name Hieraya, has been raised as a human all 19 years of her life. She is remonstrating the apprenticeship and the very knowledge that she is not mortal,"
~Damn...I go on stupid missions like this every time...why why why...~
"You will go to Hieraya's village and take her to the Seer,"
~NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~ Eclipse's eyes twitched. ~restrain yourself...~
"Eclipse, why is your face turning red like Mr. Tomato?"
