These days I don't hope for much...

Lucia woke up with a start. A dense foliage filled with unknown fauna and she was lying down under the green canopy. The tree is big. Bigger than it was supposed to be. It's bewildering how did she get here in the first place.

"Last time I checked I was in my mini-lab tinkering with the antique locket which according to my poor grandpa is a family heirloom."

"How did I get here?"

Ruffling of the bushes was heard nearby. Lucia woke up with a start.

"Am I dreaming?"

Pinching her arm she sobered up.

"Seems like I am not."

The green Canopy parted and there was a little creature looking at herself with guarded eyes. The strange creature had shiny silvery white fluff. with Silver eyes and Bluish-dark pupils. And those eyes were full of colors between the silvery streaks. Red, blue, gold, purple, green and many more. Multitude of colored streaks were shining in the iris..As if an all around never ending meteor shower around a dark planet. If there were only those eyes without the creature.. even then one must admit those eyes were so full of life.

Lucia stared without blinking.

"What are you?" she said so softly that even she weren't aware of it. Curiosity got her and she took a second look at the whole creature.

It was small and covered with shiny silvery far and looked like a cat.

In the same way the creature was scrutinizing the humanoid before it. It also had four legs but when it stood up it used only the hind legs and other two legs were much weaker hanging limp on the sides. It had weird black fur which didn't cover all of its body. 'Is it probably bald?' -the cub thought. The humanoid had dark eyes..very dark. 'Is it related to the Dark Queen?' 'But it's not that dark at least not all over.. could it be some hybrid born from the dark-elves?!' The cub was snapped out of it's thoughts when it heard a scream.

'That stupid bird caught up. It's going to pester me again!' The frustrated cub took it's new toy and teleported away.

The last thing Lucia saw before she feinted was the creature's eyes zooming toward her and the shining silver streaks in those eyes before everything turned black.

As a typical 17 years old high-schooler Lucia woke up early in the morning. Turning off the alarm clock she remembered she didn't need to go to school today. The bad memories from yesterday all came crushing in.

"Mom is gone. She is really gone"- she murmured with a broken voice from sobbing all night long. As a child grew up in a single parent family all she had was her silly mother who never seemed to grow up. After the break up with her dad her mom found out to be pregnant. As a soft hearted new-adult who wasn't privy to the difficult reality of rising a child on her own she decided to keep the baby. Thus Lucia was born. But as the days passed her mother seemed to loose herself in the world she made up in her mindscape. A happy bubbly world full of love but unfortunately it wasn't the reality. At the age of 35 she couldn't take it anymore. To reach the world she created in her mind she left. And she left forever, never to comeback.

A teardrop slid down the cheek of the dark haired girl lying on a makeshift bed of soft grass and leaves. The cat-like creature stared at the teardrop.

'Is it hungry?!' the creature thought.

The Cat-like creature, the oldest of the seven siblings saw the youngest phonix-girl cry until Dawn picked some kind of fruits for her to eat.

The cat-like creature thought - 'should I also pick some fruits for it?!'

'What if it doesn't eat fruits like that spoiled Phonix! What if it eats meat like that Midnight who eats them cooked or like the Tiger who eats them raw?!'

The cub was in a dilemma. It was just born a few years ago and it's still a cub. It only had it's seven siblings who born from the same place.. The Origin. In case of life experience..it felt a bit inedequate. Now that a strange creature suddenly appeared which looks a little like it's 5th sibling Midnight. Though it's ears are not pointy and it's skin is not that dark it is still a humanoid and similar to Midnight or so the cub thought.

'Its unfair that younger ones are growing up faster than me while they became almost adults and here I am.. still a cub!'

'Well but I shouldn't forget the main point. This dark haired creature wasn't born but suddenly appeared. It smells different. It reeks of time and space elements. Is it a dual wielder?! But the smell is decreasing fast. If it were any other creature aside from me they wouldn't even know of this phenomenon. What price did it pay to travel so far I wonder! How far the wheel of Time did it cross? The price must be steep just because the element of Time is costly...'
