The beginning 2

Maria POV

I think I was scared for nothing, I thought he would abandon me, now that I think of it.

It was stupid of me to think he would abandon me. *sigh*.

authors POV

On reaching the angel clan, Maria decided to go straight to her residence, after all, she has to avoid the higher-ups as much as possible.

The angel clan is big in the style world, its main capital is suspended in space or the heavens as some may see it.

It looked like a floating island from a distance, and its brilliance was very noticeable, with a tall castle in it middle where only important clan members could live.

Maria is currently one of the core members, to be more precise she is currently one of the potential rulers of their clan soon.

So she is one of the most watched members of the clan and also had a lot of enemies, both in her generation and the older generation.

In a well-lit room, Maria was sitting, in a lotus position meditating.

She was looking for a way to escape the eyes of the elders as much as possible.

'knock, knock' she heard a knock on her door, opening her eyes she used her spiritual sense to scan outside her room, just to discover one of her aunts who was an elder.

She knew better than trusting familiar bonds, after all almost all core members of her clan were related in one way or the other.

Coming towards the door she opened it, seeing the smiling woman's face irritated her a lot, but as her elder being disrespectful would cost her a lot.

She just wished she could tell her to fuck herself before escaping from this hell called heaven.

"Any problem," she said trying to sound and look as nice and respectful as possible

"Don't you want to see me?" her aunt said with the same small and deceptive smile that she hates a lot.

"No, I was just cultivating," Maria said, trying to politely send her away.

"If I want to become the next ruler, I believe I have to give my competition as much gap as possible in strength," she said, emphasizing her point.

"That's nice," her aunt said still smiling. "But the clan head would like to see you.

I hope you can take out of your time to appear before her majesty?" her aunt said, with her light smile shifting a little towards the smirk category.

Maria POV

I've always hated this woman, so fake and deceptive, *haa* but I have no choice.

My aunt's name is Felisha, and though she's not my only aunt or relative, she's still one of the most troublesome.

Not like I've done anything to her which guarantee her despise for me.

Though some older males keep praising me, saying stuff like; I wish she was born in my generation.

Maybe that's the cause of it after all her husband said that once and I think that's when it all started.

And sorry for my negligence, I didn't introduce myself, my name is Maria Micheal, age 30.

Due to the energy around us, our life span increases.

The stronger we get the longer we live, some other races have their anatomy giving them different lifespans and conditions to leave and grow, but this is not the time to talk about that.

I am one of the rarest individuals or prodigies to appear in my clan; making me special, I think.

In my world, the low ranker is the peak strength an individual can reach, and it takes more than a hundred years to reach.

I am currently in the middle stages of the low ranker, bringing jealousy, hatred, and discrimination to me.

*Creak* bringing me out of my world was the opening of a door, it was a very familiar sight.

I've been here a lot of times for meetings and a lot of stuff.

But right now it was different because my child's life depends on them not realizing it.

Taking in deep breaths, and preparing for the worst, I walked in.

Looking around me; they were core members of our clan, varying from the clan head to the elders and some of the prodigies behind me in strength, and some of the important members of our clan.

"Maria you have been going out a lot lately, care to share with us where you are always off to," said an elderly person, looking at me with a scrutinizing gaze.

"I don't have any reason to answer that," I said, looking at the elderly person with a cold look on my face

"Are you saying you are above us?" said another elderly man, glaring intensively at me.

"No, but I believe I have the right to go where I want, without any need to answer anyone," I said, not showing any emotion in my facial expression.

"Hmm" looking toward the direction of the sound, my eyes met with that of the clan head spouse.

You can see him as the male clan head, though he was low in strength compared to his age mates, he still had good genes.

Actually am one of the seeds of their experiment, as there call it; to create a powerful ruler.

Due to the sound he made, he attracted almost the whole house, everyone looking at him with strange looks; ranging from hate, contempt, pity, and any you can imagine.

"what," he said, maybe trying to act ignorant of his actions.

"Look I know you guys don't like me.

And our clan's main power goes to the females living the males with less voice.

As we can all see the next main candidate for the seat is also a female, ha ha ha ha " he said, laughing hysterically.

I don't know what to feel for him; maybe pity, hatred, love, or nothing, all together they feel useless to me.

"Maria what do you have to say for yourself," said the clan head aka my mom, ignoring her spouse's gibberish.

I think she is finally in the mood to speak now.

"Nothing much, just that I deserve the freedom to live my life" maybe I said something wrong, but the whole room became silent.

To the extent that even the sound of small atoms colliding could be heard.
