Chapter 001

I have always been unlucky, failed a subject in high school, and even lost my parents. I can still vividly remember that day, the way I cried. No one was there with me though, but I'm to it. And, I can really say that I really am so unlucky.

"Miss, please keep your eyes open! We're bringing you to the hospital now." I can hear voices but my sight is getting blurry.

I remember going out just to buy a bread when I was suddenly hit by a car. Than heavens though, the family in the car is safe. At least they're still intact. No one will cry for me now anyways, I don't have anyone. I have a wreck of a life, if I die, then I'll die without regrets.

"Faster! Her breathing is almost gone now! Miss, calm down we'll do anything to save you" Ah will you? I guess this is it.

"Dead on arrival, 7:50 am" was the last words I heard, when I suddenly hear a baby cry.

I opened my eyes to see who it was. There are two people, wait no- three people standing in front of me. Gosh, who are they? I opened my mouth and tried to talk but....

"Nghh" WHY THE HECK CAN'T I TALK? I lift my hands and stared at it. My mind went blank when I see two tiny hands, I placed it on my face and felt that it is as small as my hands!

"Oh dear, look at her. She's so adorable, so special" The woman, my mother probably, smiled and kissed my cheeks. My father did the same and so did my sister? She's young and definitely mean-looking.

"What are you gonna name her mother?" The sister asked, I don't know her name okay?

"Shuli.... Oh right! What name do you think would suit her best Hugo?" Oh Shuli, Hugo...

"Sandra calm down, we're just naming her" My father, Hugo said. This is weird.

"I am calm!" Sandra, no- mom said. Maybe because I'm still a baby and still sensitive, I cried. Mother immediately brought me to her arms and sang me a song. I can't understand the lyrics, their language seems to be different but why... this is definitely weird!

Mother tried to shush me when Shuli opened the window and the sun's light hit my eye. For a second, I can feel a burn on my wrist.

"Oh heavens! Father look at her wrist! Mother!" they shouted at each other. If only I can, I would've moved and look at my wrist which they are going waalah about.

Father Hugo went to mom's side and his jaw dropped when he look at my wrist, my mother stay stilled too while Shuli was staring at me. Hello sissy, I can't talk yet but that look at your face makes me want to take out my phone and capture it.

"She has it! She's a gift from celestia... Our daughter, is indeed special" Mother smiled at me and gently stroke my cheeks, it tickles.

"I know what to name her now..." Father said, he get a hold of me from my mother's arms t his and gently smiled at me too. "She'll be the great Hameira Aquinox, but I wonder who among them is her betrothed?"

"Let's not think about that for now Hugo, let's just spend our days with our little Hameira..."

So, I'm now Hameira Aquinox huh.

Years passed and I'm now 17 years old and I'm turning 18 tomorrow! My family are busy preparing for tomorrow, except for Shuli who's with me. For the past years I learned a lot. This world has kings and queens. My mother and father who used to live in Capital went here. Thy said that life there was wonderful but their life here, was peaceful and unforgettable. Both of them were adventurer until they fell in love with each other and gave birth to Shuli. Well, ths sister of mine may look mean but she's so soft! She literally cries over anything!

I also learned that they don't have guns here. They use swords, magic and alchemy instead. Hmm, am I gonna be called genius if I introduce guns and technology to them? Meh, I don't even have a clue on how to make those. I have been wearing this clothe bracelet since I was young. They always reminded to never take this off or to show it to anyone or I will be killed. I once did and they were so mad at me. A symbol was engraved in my wrist. Something that I am clueless about.

"Hami, you're spacing out. Help me pick up these mangoes so we can go inside now" Shuli said and picked a mango from the ground. She wipes her sweat, my brows knotted when I can't feel a single sweat from me. Sure it's hot, but I don't feel hot. "Hameira" she groaned.

I pouted and starts to pick up some mangoes.

It is almost noon when we arrived at home. It was quiet which is unusual, my parents would usually make noise and call us especially when it's lunch already. I look back to call Shuli but she isn't behind me anymore. I placed the basket at the doorway and went inside.

I panic when I saw my parents inside, blood was scattered everywhere. I can see my father's sword, I know that he tried to fight back. I can feel rage building up inside me. Where's Shuli?

"Hel- no, Hami run!" I heard Shuli screamed, I immediately ran at the back of the house and saw her. With knights tying her up. I can see blood dripping down her lips and nose. I guess they slapped her.

"Finally" A knight, who I think that leads them said.

"Let her go" I said coldly, my breathing became heavy. I want to hurt them so bad, like how they hurt and killed my parents. My hands balled into fist.

The man brought out his sword and placed it at my sister's neck. She tried to break free but can't, now that a sharp blade is in front of her. Her eyes were brimming with tears. My heart clenched at the sight of my poor sister. But I'm poerless against them.

I can't do anything....

"Hami... run" She suddenly said in between her tears. I stilled. No. I can't leave her, them in here.

"No..." tears started to form in my eyes.

"We know that this day will come. We love you Hameira, mom and dad, me we were all happy. If we die protecting you, there won't be any regrets."

"Stop saying those! No, we're gonna get out here together, with mom and dad. We were supposed to celebrate my birthday together! Tomorrow!" I said as I try to wipe my tears.

"Someday, a man will come and protect you. He will love you and be with you. The sun and the stars will guide you as you go Ham. 4th tree, our heirloom is in there. Live Hameira, live for us." She said.

Shuli stood up and kicked the man with all her force. She even bit his neck that made him bleed.

"Go!" Shuli shouted. I am in shock, I don't know...

"Tsk! go get her! Never let that celestia go!" The man said with authority.

"Hameira Aquinox! Go, please...." I wiped my tears and ran as fast as I could.

I reached the sofa and saw my father's sword and, mom's book? I immediately grab those with the bag and ran. Three knights were after me. The heat is still building up. I stopped and placed my hand on the ground. I breathed, trying to collect the mana in the place.

"Release" I muttered.

Fire went out from my hand and went to the three soldiers up unto the house. I froze, my family.... They're gone now.

The knights were screaming asking for help as their bodies burn from my flames. This is it. The start of my journey.

Mother, father Shuli... I'll live and find my purpose.
