Prologue

In a world where I really don't belong to,I find it hard to even move a mile per day.The stares ,the way they look at me.For them I am a freak,not one of there own.They are right, I am not one of their own. My father may have come from here but I did not.I think at night ,What drove me here? What drove me to stay here?Maybe it was a new start, a new chapter. Maybe hiding from a memory or pain.Maybe, I am just simply running away!Maybe at the same time,this is not real. It might be my mind going into a world of no return. It imagines all of these events, to make it seem real. Now I am really questioning everything,did what I see was real or did it all not exist?

Chapter 1

Hello, in my line of work I have seen everything.Practically know everything and if you knew my age, you will be surprise.Why am I doing this interview you may ask.Well I am doing it cause I want you to know me.Since I have time in my hands then let me tell you.Since I have time, let me just share with you a bit.

First, I am Amber. A warrior of the 7th realm which no one can see. No one can hear and very few can really reach.My age,well my age goes back to the 1200’s. To be more precise 1256, born in the little town of Roseend .Has for my parents, I have no parents. My dad Adrien died in the war 1260,going against the the Valians. That day we lost over four hundred mens,we lost over one hundred womens. My mom Fenela died in 1266,after her wings gave out in the flight test. You see it been awhile since my mom had her wings.

Well silly me,you have no idea who we even are. In appearance most of us look human. Our hands are the same as them. Our face are the same as them.Except for our eyes, we have no pupil, it is all one solid color. Like a precious metal, once it becomes a jewel.To our backs most of have wings, the wings will go in different shades of colors and the rare clear here and there. Our clothing are like yours,skin color to. Our language is called Danmar, thirty alphabet letters and easy to know.We are like humans,the only difference is our eyes,our wings and how long we live.

Let’s go back to my mom and explain what happen.Her wings got taken for having a child with a human. The human of course being my dad. She moved him to the seventh realm where after a while he became part of the society.He joined the army and well you know the rest.They gave her wings back in May 16 1266. When she went on her third month to see if the wings were having problems, well that is where it happen. Her wings gave out and detached.She fell from one hundred feet in the air. You see for the first year that we get our wings,we go on monthly check ups, after a year we are all good.

Lets continue the story since I have already told you this much. A few years pass from that incident and I was ready to move. Move live by myself and make my parent proud. I joined the army, I started to rank up and up.Now I hold the position of warrior , I am in control of Delkine area. This area use to belong to the Valians, until It was conquered in 1276. I remember that day ,I was new to the troop. It was my first battle, it was me with three hundred more. Only fifty Rossens died that day. It was a victory for ages to come. I remember how the march was intense at first but it lessen with how close we got. I wish I knew what kicked in inside me. My eyes from white turned red. I grabbed the sword and started to fight.

My first hit was filled with rage. I remember the sword penetrated the soldier abdomen over three times. I turned around and as I jumped across the wounded soldier the other got his hand chopped off with one swing. Out of the back I felt a sharp pain,when I looked down I saw a sword backing out of my leg. The pain still did not hit me of my condition. I ran towards the guy and taking flight I aim for the guys shoulder.I got it right off, you see with Valians they are a type of a lizard society. Even do their body parts take time to grow back ,their skin is allergic to steal. It weakens them by the hit. Becoming poison has it cuts into the flesh and enter the bloodstream.It kills them slowly, for us it is gold. Anything made out of gold burns our skin off,so we avoid it.

Returning to my first battle. After the sword cut the guys arm off, I fell to the floor. The cut on my leg started to burn ,but for me it is not poisonous. I’m guessing being half human have its perks,when it comes to these type of situations.I took my headband off and wrapped it around my leg. I stood up and for second it hit me I am in battle .I started to run and for the next hour I just fought.It was my goal, I wanted to do it for my. For me they took away my father,they took away my friend. My sword kept swinging but, the more I swung, the less I remember what happen next. But we won, at the end I got awarded 3 medals. It is a memory I don't let go for nothing in my life.

This takes me to where I am now. The year is 1288, I know it seems like a bit of time. I have won 6 battles,as being part of the troop. I have won 2 battle on the side,being lead by me. As for my social life,all I do is work. I've learned to really have no play. Smile here ,now and then and sleep whenever I can.You see I just keep telling you guy the top layer, the part people will like to hear and see. But the part no one wants to see, I don't let it out. Maybe I should this time, so yes, lets start. I am Amber and this is the story behind the warrior. A warrior whose short life up to now ,holds many secrets.
