I woke up in the dark. I touched my surroundings. Stone, dirt, broken bricks. (I am probably below the auction house. Ah... Why does it feel like this? Everything is somewhat connected to me. The dirt, the stones... I can feel them. I can understand them. Everything is... alive.)
That is what happened ten years ago when I had my first Awakening. Back then, when I was still discovering what my powers were, I caused destruction to everything around me. The House was the first.
I did not had control over my enormous amount of mana when I awakened, resulting in the explosion. It razed the building and the nearby constructions.
Among the few that survived, I knew four. Phoebe, the girl who captured me, Artemis, the snake girl, Thyseus, the panther boy, and Ahato, the black hair guy. Later on, I met Styx, a dragon lady. (Quite the temper she has. We fought a couple of times, and I won just once.)
Every VIP and the important staff from The House also survived. They had protection spells cast on them. Besides these, everyone else died. Weeks later, I found out that the explosion killed
Even though I was confused after the Awakening, my mind forced me to escape. I ran, and in the middle of the commotion and the surprise of the citizens, I was able to slip through the crowd.
I reached the nearby forest in less than ten minutes. When I got there, Belladonna was waiting for me, in her witch suit. I remember it as if it was yesterday.
"My interest in you grew, even more than before." Later on that day, she imprinted her slave mark on me. From that night onwards, endless nights of torments fell upon me.
But that is a story for another day. For now, I'll focus on my free life. Nine years later, I was powerful enough to destroy the seal and escape. During my nine years with her, my body changed gradually.
Some changes were natural, such as growing in height, my features maturing, and my ear getting longer. I used magic to cut my hair. I started using just my red suit with a white tie. (I look good on them. Redshirt with a dark brown jacket and a black coat. Dark brown trousers and black shoes. My socks are red, because why not?)
As for the unnatural changes, I must highlight something first. She did experiments with me, physically, mentally, and on my mana chart. That being said, let's start.
My skin is now white pale, almost as if I'm dead. (She said I look like a vampire...) My purple eyes awakened some kind of power because of her experiments, and now it glows. (Although I don't know what power they have.) The major change happened on my mana chart.
Achylis was able to communicate with me five years ago. She told me that I had the Mnemosyne constellation. (Ancient and archaic name. I don't know how to spell it, even after five years.) It is the constellation of The First one, the Primal goddess Polymatheia.
I have ten stars, each of them representing one stage of life or death. Six life and four death stages.
To put it simple, I can't manipulate mana to create any type of element, but I can manipulate life. I must.
And why am I deathly pale? Because in a certain way I am dead. I need to consume life to maintain myself alive.
(Maybe she was correct. I'm some sort of vampire…) I lost the count of how many people I killed. The worst thing is… I like it.
