Hi my name is Ley, I don't know what else i can say than that. If your interested though I guess i could say a bit more. I'm 19 years old this year and well........ I don't know how else to put it but I'm hated by pretty much everyone. Don't get the wrong idea I'm not a bad guy it's just I'm what's called a fallen celestial. The truth is all that means is that i was born with a black wing instead of white ones, and yes you heard me right i said wing as in singular as in i have only one wing on my left side.
Now see where my kind are from "the celestials that is" is called the citadel, it's the ancestorial home of the celestials but here's the thing up there in the citadel my existence is treated as the sign of untold doom and destruction. So what was the celestial kings solution, throw me out into an orphanage on the same day i was born. By the way i may have forgotten to mention the previously mentioned king is my old man, yea i'm a prince that's also supposedly the bringer of the end of the world.
Even after I was thrown out and put into the orphanage thing didn't get better, nope that was just the start of my suffering. Growing up i tried to make friends with the other kids but they all avoided me like a plague even the caretakers would actively do there best to not interact with me. So when i turned 13 I left the orphanage and tried to live on my own "fat lot a good that did" no would even consider giving me a job not even cleaning toilets was an option. for years now I've dug what i could find that was edible out of the trash. Well that only lasted for about a week, till i got so sick i almost died but as usual no one cared but I survived.
After that horrible experience i decided that I would just hunt what i could in the forest outside the city, I even made a small hut for myself out there where i live now. I still come into the city from time to time mostly just to see if i could find my one little piece of joy in the world which is too say books. But since i had no money and even if I did no book store would even let me in the door I would look to see if I could find any discarded books. Over the past few years I've been able to make a nice little collection of mostly intact books, the worst damaged one of them is missing its front cover but the title was on the first page so it was fine.

Anyway I'm sure your bored of listening to me ramble on about my shithole of a life but i will say one last thing that's in spite of what you might think I'm not angry or hateful, I don't blame anyone for my problems my parents didn't decide for me to be born the way i was and as for everyone else it's just a natural reaction to want to stay away from someone who was thrown out by his whole race even if you don't know why.
Well I bet your curious about this world that has people like my race in it well I'll feed that curiosity. This world is called Vestra, It's made of 8 continents, 5 that form a star shape and 3 that form a triangle inside the star shape made by the other 5. In this world the're 7 so called high races and hundreds of so called lower races. The high races are the humans, the dwarves, the high elves, the naga, the dragons, the beastmen, and of course the celestials.
This world is in the height of prosperity even with monsters running wild. That's because of the amazing balance of both magic and science that is constantly raising each others possibilities by making new discoveries that the other can also benefit from.
The world is mostly at peace with small skirmishes here and there but nothing major. This mostly in part to the hard work and unity of the alliance made by the 7 high races. Well I say that but the dragons don't get involved unless something devastating happens which it never does so they mostly keep to themselves. Either way with the world as peaceful as it is i really couldn't care less if people avoid me i actually enjoy the quiet life i live.
But little did i know very soon my life was going to change and with that change the wheels of fate would start moving toward an uncertain future that I most definitely didn't expect let alone believe would ever be possible.
