Chapter 1: Gift or Curse?

 

It was normal, the pain. The tears had stopped flowing years ago, she had learned to bottle herself up, and not let those that caused her pain see it.

 

“ABOMINATION, SIN, MONSTER, MISTAKE,” The men and women screamed

 

The cloaked girl moved stiffly the lashing the villagers gave making her movements slow, and stiff. A small cry went unheard as the mob caught up again, and a thrown rock caught her in the arm. She knew they were going to cage her again, and maybe do worse, to her.

 

“Please leave me alone,” The young women pleaded, but the villagers descended upon her using sticks and other various objects to hit her.

 

The teen somehow crawled away from the enraged people, and spread her gray wings attracting the attention of the villagers once again. She flew low to the ground as the villagers hurled their instruments of brutality at her, but she was out-distancing them already.

 

 

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

 

 

He woke up the sheets clinging to him. His body soaked with sweat from another troubled nights sleep.

 

The door opened almost silently

 

“Renesis was it that dream again?” An elderly man asked his voice full of caring

 

“Yes it was Grandfather; she was in so much pain. It hurts my heart watching her,” Renesis said his balled fists tightly gripping the sheets

 

“My boy, no my young man, sometimes things are meant to be seen to impress upon the viewer something,” The elderly man went on wanting to tell Renesis more, but knowing not to at this point

 

“Do you think she is real? I mean it's like I feel her fear and pain,” Renesis said trying to calm himself after his haunting dream.

 

“You should not dwell on it to much, for all you know it may have been just a dream,” Grandfather said not knowing what more to say “Anyway it is time for you to get ready, I hear that your squad has been assigned another mission,” The old man saddened at the thought.

 

“Ok I will be ready in a few minutes,” Renesis said running his hand thru his dark red hair.

 

He reached into the closet and grabbed his uniform the crimson armor was light as to not hamper his speed, but strong enough to with stand most normal attacks. Lastly he picked up his Fathers sword, his eyes glazing over remembering the past. He stood quickly strapping the sword on his back, looks into the mirror adjusts the straps and walks into the main room of the house to say goodbye once again to his grandfather.

 

“Grandpa I am leaving, I will be quiet if this turns into another late night,” Renesis said his hand turning the door knob

 

“Be careful, and be safe,” Grandfather said the words were spoken so many times they came out without thought now.

 

“You too,” Renesis said and then he was out in the bright light of Eden.

 

He walked down the path till he came upon the headquarters; upon entering he was greeted by the usual stares and dirty looks. It hadn't always been like this, but ever since he had come of age and his lineage traced the older soldiers took a quick dislike to him. He only knew bits, but it seemed his father was the cause thou he could not see how.

 

“Renesis come this way,” an attractive blond receptionist said leading him into a side room

 

He realized he was the last one to get here

 

“Sorry for being late Sir,” Renesis said saluting his superior officer who stood in front of the room

 

His fellow squad members gave him the looks like the others, but he paid them no attention as he took a seat.

 

“Men, again we will be executing an attack against the rebellion. It seems in recent days they have begun constructing a new fortress on the edge of their territory. This is a direct threat to our eastern flank and the towns within the vicinity. You will spread out and converge upon the enemy at noon tomorrow. The trip will be about 10 hours non-stop so pack light, you all will meet outside the eastern wall of Tanis and prepare. Do any of you have questions?” The Commander asked almost rhetorically

 

“Sir if I may,” Renesis said standing up at attention

 

“Yes what is it?” The Commander said his voice showing his annoyance at being actually asked something

 

“What are our targets? More precisely are we just attacking the enemy soldiers or will it be like last time?” Renesis's fellow squad members looked at each other knowing where this was going

 

“Targets?!?! Your targets are the banished people if they are on the construction team at the fortress or near it they should be slain. I thought I made this clear last time I explained this to you,” The commander said his face red with anger.

 

“Sorry Sir I remember that next time,” Renesis apologized as the Commander left the room.

 

A fairly muscular man with many scars stood up and walked in front of Renesis

 

“Renesis how many times do I have to tell you the enemy is the enemy no matter where or who they are they are all marked so telling them apart should not be a problem. Having such sentiment on the battle field is pathetic of an Seraph Warrior,” Renesis's Sergeant said, his patience wavering at repeating himself again to the young soldier.

 

“Sorry sir I just do not see the point of killing the civilians when they are just doi,” he never finished the sentence

 

The hand came before he finished the last word punching him in the jaw hard, he fell to the ground, but stared back his deep red eyes flaring in anger, he knew better than to retaliate against the Sergeant, but his every muscle begged him to redeem himself. He watched his fellow team mates holding there weapons hilts and handles preparing to slay him should he react. He lowered his gaze and stood, and walked into the hall as the laughs and scornful remarks of his fellow soldiers followed him out the door.

 

-Outside-

 

“AHHHH,” Renesis screamed as he punched a tree outside of headquarters

 

“Hey I wouldn't do that, you may break the tree,” A teen around his own age said

 

“I would just leave, if I were….Mathias you idiot. You could have said it was you.” Renesis said as he rubbed his bleeding hand

 

“Well would I have been a friend if I had interrupted your fight with that oak over there,” Mathias said smiling as he pointed to the tree and the stain of blood that had been left behind.

 

“I guess not,” Renesis said still cradling his cut hand, as he laughed at Mathias dry

Humor.

 

“You know we leave in 10 minutes right, I heard the others, don't worry they are stupid, and the Sergeant was just blowing off steam you know that.” Mathias said patting his friend on the back.

 

“Yea I guess, but I still feel like punching him in the face,” Renesis said grinning thinking about how it would feel to pay the Sergeant back.

 

“You have enough problems without thinking that way, why do we just get back in there and get ready. It's going to be a long flight, you think you can handle it?” Mathias said knowing that Renesis was still new to flying long distances.

 

“Yea I have been practicing my Grandfather has helped me practice a lot,” Renesis said proud he had mastered it so fast.

 

“How are your wings by the way,” Mathias asked for the hundredth time

 

“Besides there color, they are fine. Do you think people are mad at me for that?” It was a question that plagued him since he had spread his wings for the first time 2 months ago

 

“I don't know, but lets get ready. I see our squad assembling over there,” Mathias said pointing to the armor clad soldiers gathering around the Sergeant.

 

“Ok men we meet at the meet site outside Tanis in 10 hours we will prepare camp eat and go over the battle plan. We will leave in pairs to minimize the possibility of suspicion. Is that clear?” The Sergeant said looking directly at Renesis who had just walked over.

 

“YES SIR” The squad yelled in unison

 

“Then lets go remember pairs of two or three.” The Sergeant called as he unfurled his wings

 

As always Renesis was with Mathias, which didn't bother him at all he preferred his only friends company. In fact Mathias was the only one who thought about the people they were sent to kill like he did. Though people and the banished people were two separate things. They both unfurled their wings Mathias's a standard white with a few yellowish feathers mixed in. As Renesis unfurled his wings the remaining squad members gave Renesis scornful looks as his blood red wings stretched to their full wingspan of 14 feet. Mathias looked on in awe, but soon turned his gaze knowing it would make his friend uneasy. The wings were what set him apart from every other Seraph, none had ever had his unique coloring his hair, eyes, and wings were seen as something lesser, even though he was the only one ever known to have this unique coloring.

 

“You know Renesis I never get tired of seeing your wings, amazing,” Mathias said admiring the unique coloring

 

“Thanks, lets go I guess,” Renesis said feeling uneasy about the subject of his difference from the others

 

He leapt into the air flapping his powerful wings to gain altitude before he and Mathias flew toward Tanis
