Author's notes:

Sooo... long time no update... I'm so sorry I haven't been able to release another chapter for so long! I've been busy and too caught up with other stuff to write anything! Also, when the last chapter only took me a day, this one took up a good week! I also would like to apologize if my writing is shitty, writing Kali's back-story with her bro is hard man! Hope you likey! ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own Eloise haha


I had been told that all Humans were a cruel and despicable race, selfish and discriminating, but she was different. She reached out to me back then, she wasn't afraid of me. And that scared me a little. It was defying the stories I was told as a child...


Pilot – part 2 of 2: Kali

I am awoken by the sound of movement. It was a quiet rustling, like someone was sneaking, hoping not to awaken anyone. I furrow my brows, and reach forward to slowly open the encasing of my cocoon. The figure was in our hallway, crouched down on the floor putting something into his bag. I don't make a sound, my movements like a cat's as I stalk silently towards the male in front of me. I grin, and pounce at him. I bring back my fist and lunge for his head, but he is quicker. The man spins around, catching my fist in his hand and yanking me over his shoulder. I let out a surprised yelp as I am pulled at lightning speed over him, and he pins me to the floor. I look up at this man, a strong, dark hand reaching slowly for my face...

When he flicks me on the nose.

"What are you doing?" I whine.

He chuckles lightly. "That's what I should be asking you! What are you doing trying to knock your poor brother out?"

I pout at him but he just smiles, "you're going to have to do a lot better than that if you are to surprise me-"

"-So train me!" I interrupt.

He stops and stares at me, a difficult expression sketched onto his features, then sighs.

"Sorry Kali," He places his hand on my head, "I have an important mission. Maybe tomorrow."

He turns, picking his bag of the floor and opens the front door, slinging the rucksack over his shoulder. He turns around before he leaves, seeing my sad expression, but only returns it with a sympathetic smile. "You always say that..." I murmur, and he closes the door carefully behind him.


Picking up my bag that I had packed the night before in preparation for today's events, I exit the home. I walked down the path towards The Assassin's academy, the academy that my brother graduated from. Hopefully today I'll be doing the same.

We were a species of war, A species created by our gracious Goddess, Deliah,- The Demon Goddess of the Seven Moons. The myths and legends spoke a lot about her power, which she used to create our planet and it's Moons. She sacrificed herself to create our planet, and the life that inhabited it.

We who were her creations, are very powerful beings, each of us born with a chance of developing different 'special traits' as they called it. Assassins, Warriors, Pilots, and Shifters were trained, where those who were strong with special traits would be trained to use their 'gifts' to their full extent. These groups created amongst our people, would become useful in wars amongst other species. Those who had an excessive amount of speed, stealth and stamina usually became Assassins, those who possessed an excessive amount of strength became warriors, those who had the talent to shift became 'Shifters'. Shifters were extremely rare, but could morph any part of their body. They could shift an arm into a gun, which they could fire powerful, orbs of energy like bullets at the enemy, but could only be done if they were skilled in 'energy control. Those who could do this were elite soldiers, looked up to as 'Heroes', but this skill only remained in legends. It was impossible, so those who could not do this would become Shifters, but be only able to shift melee weapons.

Most would normally develop one or more traits, which made them more likely to succeed at their occupation. It also gave them more options to choose what to become. Those with lack of multiple traits would usually become a Pilot, Flying battle planes into war, which even though it was generally for those who were unsuccessful in the other occupations, they were still extremely important.

I hear muttering as I walk. I am used to this. I was never accepted by my own species. This was sad, but my brother cared for me, that's all I need. I ignore the two females to my right as they stare as I walk, giving me looks of disapproval as I pass them. They wait until I'm out of earshot before they turn to each other.

"Is that-?"

"Yes it is..."

"What is she still doing here? I'd thought that her adoptive parents would have killed her by now."

"I'm not sure. Maybe because they're scared."

"Scared?..."

"You see, this has never happened before. The usual mating season; A crystal from the mother, an sphere of energy from the father. The father puts the orb into the mother's crystal, and they drop it into 'The Lake of New Life'."

"Yes, I know that-"

"Well, After the newborns reach the age of 5, they emerge, able to identify their parents, matching up their soul energy to theirs, their parents able to do the same. But this girl... This girl emerged by herself. No one had breeded her, she was an extra. No biological parents, she just... appeared."

"No way"

"Yes. Everyone rejected her, but one boy, reached out to her. Somehow, they had formed an instant, unbreakable bond. His parents didn't approve of this at first, but they let her stay with them. Probably out of pity..."

"Oh..."

I continue on, looking forward to transcend into adulthood, for if I graduate from the academy, I'd be able to get a new physical form, and finally become a 1 star Assassin. 'I'm catching up to you Aricin,' I grin, 'just you wait!'


I arrived at the academy and stood outside the gate, watching thee vast crowd that swarmed outside the school. Different children from my class were gathered there, grouped amongst their friends. Obviously, the Exam was the hottest topic at the present. I, who was at the top of my class, wasn't the least bit worried, but some students were excited, and most worried. One boy even puked, which I noticed after the group around him quickly dispersed, running screaming.

I push myself from the wall and turn into the academy. I don't even take one step through the gate and the noise of the crowd suddenly dies down completely, everyone's eyes fixated on me. I continue to walk towards the school, the eerie silence so quiet, that the sound of my footsteps could be heard from the other side of the yard. I hung my head low, everyone's piercing gaze feeling like a heavy weight on my back.

"GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM! BAKEMONO!" a girl suddenly shrieked from amongst the crowd, followed by more silence. I stopped walking, coming to a halt. I could sense the girl's nervousness, having insulted me, she awaits to see how I will react. She just called me a monster...

I hated that name.

My head snapped up in her direction, and I hear her terrified gasp. One could say that I teleported, because within the next moment I was standing directly in front of her, the look I was giving her so cold, that it could freeze fire. I could hear audible gasps from the students around me and the girl's breath as it caught in her throat. I grinned, the look on her petrified little face was priceless. I grab her shirt strongly within my fist, and bring back my other. I'm going to beat this bitch up for what she said.

She recoiled, seeing what was coming for her. When,-

"Everyone be calm! Sian is here!" A cheerful voice rang in the air. I stopped to look at this girl, for I knew this joyful character.

She sprang down from where she stood and came right up to me, leaning her face right up close to mine, a broad smile spread across her face. I dropped the girl from my grasp, and she ran away frantically, crying hysterically. Sian was my best friend; my only friend in fact. She was training to become a Pilot, as she lacked any other skills. Her eyes followed the crying girl as she ran to her friends, then looked back at me with a difficult expression. She reached up and pinched me on the cheek.

"Ow,ow,ow,oww!" I cried. She let go.

"What did I tell you about picking fights?!" She crossed her arms as I rubbed my sore cheek. "You always cause trouble!- and Sian always has to come save you. Don't I?" she moaned. I shot a glare to some of my classmates, who were chuckling at us, to which they shut up immediately. Being friends with me wasn't a popular option, but Sian still stayed with me. I don't know how but I find it difficult to defy Sian, that's why she can influence me so easily.

"Attention everyone! The exam expedition starts in 5 minutes!" announced Gade, our homeroom teacher. He will be in charge of the exam today.

I gasp. "Sian! Your exam! You need to get there now or you'll miss it!" I exclaimed.

She smiled again. "I've already taken it!"

"Oh! Well, did you pass?!" I asked, anticipation clear in my voice.

Sian's smile broadened. She straightened her posture and stamped her foot on the ground, bringing her arm up to salute me. "With flying colours, Captain!" She yelled with a giggle. "I requested that I'd come here to cheer you on before I undergo my transition to adolescence!" she smiled at me.

I returned her smile, then turned to look at the billboard. 5 people would undergo the test at a time, each with a mission to retrieve a key without being caught. The key would be used to unlock a box which contained a pill which triggered hormones once taken. Taking that pill would enable my body to recognize that I have come of age, and undergo transformation. The transformation would take between 3-5 days, where one would wrap themselves in a chrysalis of black diamond web-like silk string, and the chrysalis would provide them with the constant supply of energy that is needed to grow. Those who failed the exam would go back to the academy, and redo the whole of it again.

I look at the list of names, the names randomly shuffled about on the list. I saw my name instantly, being 3rd from the top. I smirk and wak up to the podium, being one of the group that would disperse first. As I walked up to the podium, Gade handed me a slip of paper. Written on it was a specific location, were I would be able to find my key. If I could retrieve this key, I would be one step closer to my brother.

"Anyone who is in the top 5 names on the list please step up to the podiums!" shouted Gade.

Everyone lined up, trying to hide their worry. I smirked; this was going to be easy. Gade blew the whistle, commencing the start of the test, and we went. The crowd watched 4 students run in different directions, whereas I was already on the rooftops far ahead. No one could keep up with my speed and stealth; mine was the best in the class.


Destination: Cavern of Fire. Yep, this is the place. I begin to walk into the wide mouth of the cave. I stick to the sides, and blend into the shadows. This is a test, they're going to have challenges, and I was going to be prepared. I creep through the wide open space, lurking in the darkness. I lower my body temperature, the heat of the cave getting to me. Closing my eyes, I stand still as rock itself. Letting my senses flow out into the cave, I listen for any signs of life. It takes me 2 seconds to pick up the sound of breathing from 3 assassin guards.

I stalk through the shadows, silent as the wind. I easily sneak past the first but the second notices me. He looks straight in my direction, and I stand as still as I can with nervousness. He stared at me for a short while then smiled a little and looked away with contempt. I was confused at first but continued past him, seems I was doing a good enough job at concealing my presence as he dismissed me and let me through. Tch, they go too easy on me, but failing this exam would mean I would have to start back from the beginning. I didn't want that, so I was grateful to say in the least.

The third one guarded the key.

I entered the room from the narrow entrance. I don't even bother to stick to the shadows this time, as his eyes were fixated on the doorway. He knew I was there, and he didn't want to let me get it so easily. His body was lithe, but he was strong. Being lean helped make him very agile, and a good assassin, and he was quick and could also fit into tight spaces. Surprisingly enough, he was kind of what you'd call a sports teacher. And his name was Usui, a 2-star assassin.

"Kali, This exam is to test the student's skills in infiltration and retrieval, but with you I believe that only that would bee too easy for you, so you will not be getting past me so easily. You understand what that means, right?" he calls.

I let out a small sigh and draw my tantō. "That's right." I will have to battle this man. I look up at him, and he stares right back, daring me to move first. Which I do. I jump backwards and start running to my left in a large circle, to which my teacher does the same. I scowled at him; he was copying me. I make a swift turn to my left and run up the wall. I turn and kick strongly off the ceiling directly towards my soon-to-be ex gym teacher. Usui's responses are quick as he jumps up towards me from the ground. We meet mid-air as a loud sound of clashing metal rang through the empty cave, echoing for miles through the complex passages of the burning cavern. It would be difficult for one too keep up with this fight, as we moved so fast in our dance-like battle. We met in the air again and again, but this time my teacher grasped my wielding arm with his other as the metal of our blades fired sparks from the force each blow emitted. My eyes widened as he spun mid-air and threw me hard into the wall, bringing down debris from the impact. I coughed once from the dust and growled at him in annoyance, leaping up immediately and grabbing my knife which laid on the stone floor. A small smirk made it's way onto my teacher's face. He knew I had a short temper.

Blades clashed together again and again. I kicked him as hard as I could in the stomach, causing him to skid back a few meters, but it wasn't enough. I rushed to kick him again, but he blocked. I flipped backwards off him as he swipes his kunai at me and I land on my feet, taking this opportunity to catch my breath. I puff lightly as I stare at the man, which to my frustration was not even the slightest out of breath. He smirked again, and it was just then I knew: he was trying to do this from the start! I scowled at him again, annoyed. Goddammit! I was only making it worse like this!

I closed my eyes for a brief moment and took in a deep breath, calming myself. I got reckless when I was agitated, I needed to stay calm, or else I was going to lose. I steadied myself in my fighting position once more, and stared at my enemy before me, planning my next attack. His face softened slightly with a hint of approval, but looked slightly disappointed.

"Good." he murmured. He shot towards me, kunai in hand, but I dodged. I jumped up above his attack, and place both hands on his shoulders. I was within reach of the wall of the cave behind me, so I angled my feet against it, so I was at a 90 degree angle on the wall. Before he had time to react, I kicked once again off the wall, pushing him in the opposite direction in which he came, flipping over his falling body. My hands still on his shoulders, I land on my feet, and drag him through the air over me with all the strength I could muster. I force him to land hard on the floor face down, and leapt up to straddle his back to keep him down before he could get up. I quickly position my tantō knife so it barely an inch from piercing the back of his neck. Checkmate.

"All right, all right! you win!" he chuckles, throwing his hands up. The sudden change in the mood in his voice helping me relax. I get up off of him, allowing him to stand. "Well done kid. Now go get that key. You pass!" he said, and gave me a warm smile. Usui was the only teacher that treated me equally, and I respected him. It helped me to do better in his classes as well, as he was kind to me and listened to me. He didn't ignore me like the other teachers or brand me as a monster. i wondered what he thought of me somethimes, but I never asked.

I turned towards the small wooden box that lay on a solitary rock. I was quite pleased with how things turned out. I knew Usui held back against me, he was a lot stronger than that, but I suppose it was because it was his own choice to fight me, plus I wasn't even a 1-star assassin... Well, now I was. I picked up the box and carried it with both hands, retracing my steps back through the cave. I looked at Usui as I passed him, and he gave me a warm smile. I returned it, and headed back through the cave, excited for my graduation.


"White!? What do you mean it's white!?"

I was awoken by the muffled sounds of female voices. They sounded slightly agitated, but what about? I didn't move, I stayed where I was. Listening.

"Her crystal cocoon! It's white!"

"You mean one of the graduates' cocoon is... white?"

"Yes!"

"why?... They're meant to be black..."

I think she mentioned something about a cocoon. Maybe it was about the cocoons that the graduates made when they were ready to mature. We made cocoons from what appeared to be crystal threads, wound together to make a nest, which we trapped ourselves in. The cocoon would provide us with the energy to grow into our new body. I tried to get closer to the walls of my cocoon to try and get a better listen... No. I didn't want to listen to their stupid chatter, I wanted to sleep. I closed my eyes tightly shut as I tried to get back to sleep.

"How long will they take to hatch-?"

"3-5 days." interrupted a deeper, more stern voice, causing one of my eyes to open in curiosity. The two ladies squealed and rushed out the room, leaving this man alone inside. There was a long silence, before the man walked up towards me. I could feel his presence just behind the crystal wall. I opened my eyes as his hand drifted up and rested on the cocoon. I recognized this male.

"Hello Kali" Aricin whispered in a soothing voice. I shifted closer to the front of the cocoon, recognising the voice and the palm that rested on the casing of the cocoon as my brother's. I reached my own hand up and rested it in the same position as Aricin's, his hand barely visible through the thick-ish walls of the crystal threads. He smiled, although I could not see his face through the cocoon. "Sleep well." he hummed before making his way to the door. I sunk back and fell asleep instantly, calmed by the presence of my brother. He stopped at the door frame and looked back at the white crystal cocoon that incased his sister, the gentle smile he was wearing now flat and expressionless, his calm voice now a dark, harsh tone.

"You will need it for the funeral."


I'm Sorry! This chapter may not explain why 'Kali' has been exiled to earth, but they will be answered in the next chapter. Just in case you didn't know, Kali's brother's name is Aricin. I can't be bothered to write an explanation on Aricin's appearance because I will soon be creating a Facebook account where pictures of each character will be uploaded. I created these characters on a rad site - game/?game_id=421- (you should go check it out it's great!) and will be uploading again soon. I hadn't written another chapter in so long was because I was waiting for reviews to help me grasp the courage to write again, and then I said 'Fuck it' and wrote it when I was in a writing mood again. BUT I DIDN'T GET IT DONE! so it took me a week of writing (and a week of saying I would) to finally get it down! I'm gonna start another chapter this week to get me going in a routine. I HOPE YOU ENJOY!
