Ok here be official Chapter one! Seemed like there was a good response so onward I shall go!

-----------Chapter 1----------

"Where has that child gotten to again?"

Akafubu the Sixth was becoming restless. Every day he had to wait for the last student to enter class. Why Can't they ever be early?

A young boy ran into the room. "Elder! Elder! Out here! Another fight"

He sighed I should have known...

Lurching on his staff, he began to trudge out to the town centre. At 60, he was not getting any younger. Or any more patient for that matter!

"C'mon pound him!"

"That the best you got?"

"I see blood! Oh your in for it now Al!"

A group of children, older to the back and younger in front, were circled around the fight. All were cheering, some of the younger girls covering their eyes/

"It's hideous! Stop already, that's enough!"

None of their shouting were doing any good. The cheering and goading seemed to get louder.

"What is all this?"

The crowd immediately silence and withdrew from the epicentre of the fight. In the middle were two figures, one on the ground.

"Inside. Now."

------------------------

"Why must you always start these fights? Have you no sense at all?"

Akafabu sat next to a young boy, about eighteen. His handsome, tanned face was badly bruised, his nose and leg caked in blood.

"But I didn't this time, Elder! Honest! It was Al who-"

"It's ALEXIS!" came a scream from across the room.

Akafubu turned to the voice. "I'll deal with you later, Miss Alexis."

A girl leered back at the boy, her green eyes transfixed on his. She seemed to have no scratches or bruises, mainly just dented pride. Short blue hair framed her pretty face, her small lips mouthing something to the boy.

Just wait.

-------------------------------------

"By Gabomba, why is this child troubled so?" Akafubu boomed. "Do you enjoy seeing me so rapt in my frame of life Alexis?"

"Elder, please. You know I hate seeing you like this... But the things Keiji said, he-" Alexis buried her face in her hands. "-he called me a freak. He kept saying how I was just an unwanted spawn, a devil's child. I couldn't stop myself."

Akafubu placed his hand on her head "Yet you know these are just words. You are not a demon child. In your brighter moments, you always help the villagers. Your smile could enlighten the downest of people. Why do you let the immature ramblings of children get to you?"

Alexis raised her head, her eyes red. "Because- Elder, why was I left here? Where am I from? Who were my family? Why did they leave me? Who am I?" With this she began to cry.

"You, are you. A kind generous person who was sent as a blessing by Gabomba."

"But why is my hair different?" She cried, grabbing her small locks, "and my eyes? My skin? Even my strength! You saw Keiji! He was so injured, while me- I'm smaller and not as built! So why am I stronger? I'm seventeen, I need answers! I want to belong somewhere!"

And with that, she ran out of the hut into the moonlit night.

Why can't I be accepted?

---------------------------------------------------

"Are preparations nearly ready?"

Two guards passed down a hallway, one carrying a dimly lit torch.

"Almost. He should be pleased with the results, however."

"Indeed. We caught 5 today- a record for us."

"Say- what does he do with them anyway?"

"Who cares? As long as he keeps paying us, he can do what he likes!"

The torch guard laughs "I agree. Stupid Adepts. They dont's stand a chance!"

Alright! That's chapter one!

Chapter two will be up if I see some more responses!
