Chapter 1:Another day living in a war zone
My name is Teto Kasane and I've been alive for a while now. We chimera's live among humans living out normal lives. The only difference is our wings and our thirst for don't drink just any blood , we drink the blood of creatures with magic and pure energy which humans lack. Some of specie of chimera's have no control over them self and eat humans. My species have more control over themselves than that. That's why I live in the forest in the middle of a war zone. People die there everyday so it's not wrong to eat someone who is already dead. We are good creatures I swear! We would never feed one something unless it would benefit us. Today is my was a beautiful rainy April and I was out flying looking for the perfect meal when a bullet almost hit me. Luckly I doged it.
"Aaah!"
I headr a man yell "DAMMIT I STUPID BAT WAS IN THE WAY"
Was he talking about me? I guess my wings kinda look like bat wings. But what was he aiming at in the sky? That's not important right now. I tend to over think when I'm hungrey. Humans really are interesting creatures. constantly killing and fighting with each other. That's one of the reasons I left the human society to live in the forest. In the forest I'm free to be myself and eat as much as I please. As I was looking over head I saw the most majestic being. I had now idea what it was but I sense strong magical energy coming from it. It look alike a combination of a frog and and cat.I'm surprised I spotted it from all the way up in the sky. It was so small, could barely be a snack but I went after it anyway.
"Your mine!"
The little creature ran away from me.I really wish my meals wouldn't do that it's so annoying. So I chased after it. The cursed thing is so fast! When I finally reached up to it I was to late another Chimera's caught it. I watched him feed. I was so angry that he was eating my prey but I as distracted by his gorgeous wings. they were simply amazing and bigger than mine. It was rare to see another one of my kind out here and especially with those wings. No! Just because of he is a Chimera dosen't mean he can hut in my territory.
"HEY THAT WAS MY SNACK!"
The man wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled "First served"
"THIS IS MY TERRITORY! MY HUNTING IMMEDENTLY OR SUFFER THE CONSQUENCES"
The man laughed and moved closer to me "Listen little lady, You don't want to get in a fight with me." He picked up the creatures bloody head and handed it to me.
"I don't eat anything that I haved gotten myself" I threw the head on the ground
"Hmf.I don't fight girls."
"Who you calling a girl"
"Your a feisty one aren't you" he winked at me "I like that in a girl"
"HA!NICE TRY. Tell your friends that this is Kasane territory and only I hunt here"
" I don't know any other chimeras. Your the first one I met"
"me too. But that dosen't change anything. GET OUT AND DON'T COME BACK"
"Whatever" He flew anyway
How his wings were incredible.I could talk all day about them but the would be ridiculous. I hope I never see him again. Anyway I'm still hungry and the smell blood is not making it any better. I guess I'll fly into town and get some bread. Bread is the only thing, other than flesh, that satisfy me. I know of a town close by but it's actually ten miles from here and I don''t use my wings that offend so there not in good shape. Plus I can't walk there because I could get shot. I decided to do a gender switching spell. It was perfect! Especially since I was already wearing the military outfit from my last meal so I could pass though with ease.
"seitenkan"
With a puff of red smoke I transformed into a man. It was so weird. I'm never doing this again. I casted an immunity spell, hid my wings, and sneeked thought the battle field. Bullets were fly in every direction,the air was full of smog and smoke, the sky was a dark shade of grey. I was was truly pitiful to see the humans fighting like this. Since they are all the same species should they get along better. Well that's just my opinion. Humans have been fighting with each other for centuries so I guess it's in there nature. I finally reached the road to the town when I spotted a green haired pixie flying by.
"You not fooling anyone with that decise. I know what you are" The little pixie flew over to me and sat on my shoulder
"Your lucky I dislike the taste of pixies or I would eat you"
"Hmf. All you chimera's are all the same. All you care about is eating and your precious wings"
"And all you pixies care about is pretty flowers and love"
"That's a total stereotype!"
"Just like what you said"
The pixie's face turned bright red with anger " Your kind is nothing more than reject vampires. Below that maybe!"
"Excuse me" I swatted her off my shoulder. I felt myself losing control. I grabbed her and squeezed tight.
"Y-y-your a lady chimera aren't you"
" Akiraka ni suru!"
My disguise disappeared and I revealed my true form. Except for my wings. I was afraid that someone might pass by and see them.
"Ha! I was right" The little pixie slipped though my hands "Your cute for a monster and such a temper too"
My voice got deeper " we are not monsters!"
"Says the girl with the demonic voice"
"Ugh" I grabbed her and brought her close to her face and smiled "your a brave one. you'll make a great meal for my birthday"
"W-w-whoa. C-c-clam down. I k-k-know how your kind loses there self control when it comes to there emotions."
I sighed and let her go "Sorry. Wait... Your the one that should be saying sorry!" I grabbed her again
The pixie smirked "you have more self control than the other chimera's I have meet.I like you"
"Shut up you annoying little pest"
"S-s-sorry"
"I forgive you for now. As you can see I'm a very forgive soul unless I lost control of myself" I released her and she sat back on my shoulder
"What's your name"
"Teto Kasane"
"I'm pixie of fighting sprits"
"That explains why your flying around so close to a war zone"
"Are you heading into town"
"Why do you want to know"
"Well you can't go into town dressed like that" she laughs " You'll attract a lot of attention to no matter how beastly you are your still a lady"
"Typical. What's wrong with what I have on"
"Women in that town aren't normally running around in the army clothes"
"Fine." I hate pixies with a passion but there is something about this one that makes me want to stick with her.
With her dust she dressed me in this red and black, gothic like dress. I hated it. It was too frilly for my taste. As we walked into town I notice something. Humans can't see Gumilina. I realized that because she was flying around casting spells on people and nobody even flinched and looked at her. Me and Gumilina decide that,in order to blend in, she was going to have to put on a human form for a while. She transformed into a beautiful,short haired, young adult looking human. She whispered in my ear "you look young enough to be my daughter." I laughed and then realized what she meant. "I can't believe I'm working with a pixie". Gumilina rolled her eyes at me. We stay at an inn run by two looked why too young to be in charge of a place like this but I wouldn't question it.
Gumilina smiled at me "It's this nicer than living in that death bed you call a home"
I grumbled "No"
The boy twin led us to our room "I hope you enjoy our stay at the Rin Rin inn"
I looked at him. He looked so sad and miserable.
"Sir. Are you ok"
I saw tears stream down his face "I-I-I'm fine" He ran out the door.
Gumilina sighed and fell onto the bed
"You stupid pixie! I only wanted to come into town to get some bread not stay here!"
"Oh shut up and enjoy yourself. I'm helping you"
"HELPING FAR YOU'VE DONE NOTHING BUT DRAG ME AROUND THE PLACE"
She smirked "seeing what it's like to live as a human will help you learn self control over your hunger surges"
"I CAN CONTROL MYSELF"
"Sure" she laughed and fell asleep.
As much as I don't want to, I'm going to stay with this annoying pest. Why you ask. Because I'm too tried to fly back home and maybe she's right. Maybe staying here will help me learn a little self control.
