Seraphine: Mmmmm….
In the dead of night, a bedroom only lit up by one lamp. There is the sixteen year old Seraphine, he can’t go to sleep so he gets up from his bed to go to get water.
As he walks through the hallway out side of his room, Seraphine hears a the sound of a door hinge creek and a sliding door. He turns his head around to see its his only friend.
Seraphine: Can sleep either, cant you, Maeve?
Maeve: Ah, you’ve caught me.
The two smile at each other and both let a quiet laugh.
Maeve: Hey, lets go outside.
Seraphine: Right now?
Maeve: Yeah.
The two decide to sneak outside of the church, going onto the hill on the back side of the church.
With a view of the ginormous dome with the crystals on the roof filled with crystals simulating stars.
They sit down on the grassy floor with a giant violet mega-tree in the far distance
Liliana: You know, I’ve been thinking of leaving this place. Escaping to the outside of this fake world we live in this cave.
Seraphine: …
Seraphine quickly turning his head over to Maeve, confused of what to say to her in this situation.
Seraphine: Wait, you know we cant leave without Sister Yuri’s permission. And even then, we aren’t allowed back.
As Seraphine said that Maeve smirked and all of her suspicions that she has had about the secret and the fact that none of us remember where we came from before coming to this orphanage.
Maeve: Where do you really think we go after we leave this place? Hehe.
Seraphine: What..? What do you mean?
Maeve: What im saying is tha-
Sister Yuri: Oh relaxing by the hillside I see?
Seraphine and Maeve both turn their heads around to see Sister Yuri looming over them with a smile on her face.
Seraphine stands up quickly confused why he didn’t hear her coming from behind them.
Maeve: H-how long were you there fo-
Sister Yuri: Aren’t you two suppose to be sleeping right now?
Seraphine: Y.. yeah…
The two walk by Sister Yuri to go back to the church, as that happened. Sister Yuri grabbed onto Maeve’s wrist.
Maeve: Sister?? H-Hey L-Let go of me!
Seraphine doesn’t want to disobey against Sister Yuri so he watches it happen.
Sister Yuri: Seraphine. Go inside. Maeve we are going to have a talk.
Seraphine: O… ok…
He proceeds to go back into the church scared of what Maeve was going to tell him in the morning
He entered his room and gets inside the covers of his blanket on his bed.
Seeing there is still a fire lit inside of the lamp, he points to the lamp. His index finger turns into a gem like material, it starts to expand and it gets longer, longer, and longer until it touched the fire and doused it by melting of a small portion of the tip of his finger.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
The long gem retracted back into his body and it turned into human flesh once more.
Seraphine: What am I thinking, no point in being stressed out. Shes probably just getting a talking to.
… the night passes quietly
the morning comes…
???: GAAHHHHHH!!
Seraphine jumps out of bed after being woken up to a scream coming from outside his window, he runs downstairs in a hurry to see whats happening.
Seraphine enters the main building of the church to see Maeve’s lifeless crucified body on the cross.
Seraphine: No… no way… this cant be real.
Sister Yuri approached Seraphine from behind quietly.
Sister Yuri: It was a shame, she could have been used as a great source of energy.
As tears run through Seraphine’s eyes he asked the question that would change his entire life.
Seraphine: DID Y-YOU… DID YOU DO THIS! AND… WHERE ARE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE.
Sister Yuri stood there silently.
…
Yuri Gemheart: No point hiding it now. HAHHHHHHH, I didn’t think that fucker would suspect me this early.
Seraphine: YYUUURIIIIIIIIII!!!
As he ran towards Yuri clenching his fists, as he gets closer and closer, everything gets slower, and slower, and slower, until it eventually stopped, then everything around him gets turned into a void like space.
Seraphine: WHAT NOW?!
Seraphine franticly looking around but to find nothing but emptyness. A white figure stands infront of Seraphine, It slowly walks towards him.
Seraphine: N-NO, STAY AWA-
The white figure touched Seraphines forehead with its finger. releasing all of the memories of when he was a child, the memories of Idris, Vincent, and Friede. And essentially explained everything he needed to know at that moment of what Yuri was truly like.
The figure pulls away her finger and asked Seraphine.
???: Do you desire power O’ Violet.
As the figure asked Seraphine that forsaken question, Seraphine’s face lit up in wrath. And screamed on the top of his lungs.
Seraphine: I DO!!!
The void arounds him disappears around him and hes back to when he was clenching his fist, as it comes back he bounces himself back around 20 meters with his newfound abilities.
Yuri Gemheart: Oh… OHHH. MY LIFE HAS WORTH NOW!! AH… ahh.. IM GOING TO ENJOY THIS.
Seraphine: YURIIIII!!!
Seraphine’s body changed into a full crystalized person, he can manipulate the gems hardness, and can turn the things around it into gems.
He stomped the ground and spikes of giant crystals came through the walls.
Seraphine: DIE!!
Yuri dodged them by taking a step back, it was needless to say, not very effective. Another spike of spikes came from the floor and it tried to impale Yuri.
Yuri dodged it by stepping on it and using it as a stepping stool to rise up and project her body to Seraphine
She got herself sent flying towards Seraphine, she stabs Seraphine with her hand and looked down to see that he turned the area she stabbed him in into a mushy slimy area.
Seraphine hardens the are that her hand was in and pushes her away, leading to her right arm getting ripped off.
Yuri Gemheart: AHH… this.. THIS IS SO FUN!! IM GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN KILLING YOU!!!
Seraphine: I’D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY.
