Starcry

Red eye

Serena had been ill since the day she was born and was always in and out of the hospital. So much so that her household lived paycheck to paycheck and she was very behind in school work due to lack of attendance. However, that all changed when her parents received a letter inviting them out to dinner. She had been told that it was to meet someone who was a partner in a special charity of some sort. At that point, she didn't understand such things and didn't give it a second thought. The only thing she knew was that her parents seemed in high spirits the following morning. They also informed her that on her next birthday, she would be going to a prestigious school for children who were "like" her. Once again she didn't understand but assumed it was something good. When Serena was ten she came to learn that she was being sent off to a boarding school that was for late bloomers due to illness or whatever else had held them back. It was her understanding that they didn't take just anyone. You had to meet exceptional requirements. Serena didn't see herself as anything special but apparently, the person her parents met with had decided to sponsor her because she somehow met the conditions. And so she was to live there until she was deemed ready for college, university, or employment. Without any questions, she set off to her new home with the promise of keeping in contact with everyone who was close to her. Little did she know the adventure she would be in for. After moving to a new boarding school her health dramatically became better within weeks. Serena made friends and even had fantastic teachers. One in particular teacher went out of his to ensure she settled into her classes and helped her whenever needed. He comforted her when she became homesick or needed emotional support. He was very handsome and there was something about his voice that was mesmerising, and the way he held her made her feel special. What started as admiration for her tutor slowly turned into secret one-sided feelings on her part but she kept it well hidden. At least she thought she had. Little did she know that all of this was just a game being played by forces she couldn't begin to fathom. Serena was merely being groomed for something greater. Before Serena knew it time had flown by and she was eighteen. She hadn't even noticed that she no longer got mail from those who she had promised to keep in contact with. It also didn't seem strange that some of her classmates had just left suddenly at random on their eighteen birthday. The only thing that she cared about was getting good grades and maybe becoming a teacher so she could be by Mr Kalag's side and maybe be able to date him. Her feelings had become more intense over the years and she felt shame at the lustful thoughts she had begun to have towards him. It was with the chimes of midnight... her official eighteenth birthday that she was woken by a sudden freezing wind, followed by loud crows caw as they flew around her room. They then formed a person in some sort of uniform and wearing some sort of bird mask. She froze in a panic as she felt his ruby reds gaze upon her... almost like they were looking right through her. "W-what are you doing in my room!" Serena stammered. Clearly frightened. "Lady Serena... your time has come and I am the one who has come to collect you..." The man simply replied. She was surprised by how he addressed her yet something about his voice was familiar. As he stood there in silence she recognised his profile, even with the mask. It then hit her... was this her teacher? Why was he in her room?! "Mr Kalag... is that you?" She asked He simply stared at her, with his ruby eyes glowing. There was no need to answer her or remove his crow tengu mask when she could tell who he was even without it. He knew that much yet still wore it since it was part of the uniform. Unfortunately, this one had grown far too attached to him and was going to be much more of a pain than he was used to dealing with and he wasn't happy with the methods he was going to have to use with this one but it was part of his job to play dirty if he needed to. "What do you mean "collect you"?" She was clearly both angry and scared. "Haven't you found it strange that you have suddenly become very well since being here?" He began, with a sinister smirk. He allowed her a few moments to ponder before he continued. "And that you never met your benefactor?" He said as he slowly approached her. He stopped once he reached her side and sat down on her bed next to her. "Or that no one questioned all the attention I gave you?" He said to her in a softer tone as he took a lock of her hair in his hand and kissed it. His eyes didn't leave hers; his intense gaze only encouraged the tiny lust that was beginning to flower within her as he undressed her with his eyes. He knew damn well how much she wanted him and he was going to fully use it to his advantage. "I don't understand..." Serena said. Was clearly having trouble processing everything all at once. It didn't help that the man she loved and respected was showing her the affection she had craved for so long. Gods how she wanted him... "Maybe this will help you understand..." With that, he tilted his head so his mask wouldn't hurt her in any way and he gave her a soft yet tender kiss. His tongue slowly entered her mouth teased hers for a few moments and left her in a state that she hadn't fully explored yet. "Your parents... they gave you to my masters." He murmured in her ear. "My masters used their malevolent powers to change your very core. You are no longer human yet you are not a demon either... you are on the border of becoming like them or mindless monster." "But... how could they?" Serena began to cry as her world came crashing down. The world she had known for eight years was all a lie because her parents didn't want her any more. Everything hit home. "What's going to happen to me?!" She asked when she had calmed down enough to speak. Yes... she was right where he wanted her. He had broken down her walls and she was a sweet and emotional mess. It was delicious. "Shhhh, my little Robin." He said softly to her as he pulled her into the all too familiar embrace that she had come to know and love. His mask turned into feathers so she could see his true ethereal features. He was even more beautiful as the moonlight shone on his flawless pale skin. "I don't want the lady I have come to love to turn into something that I'd have to kill." A small tear fell down his cheek as he put on the saddest expression he could muster. It wasn't something he was used to so he only hoped it was convincing enough for his young maiden. Thankfully it was. "I want you to become like my masters so I can be yours... forever." He gave her a kiss again but this one was more intense and he continued to hold her. "Take me and make me yours~" Serena whispered to him as he released her from the kiss and gazed into her now garnet eyes. She was clearly ready to be taken and made into a mess, just as his masters liked it. "As you wish." With that, he released her from his comforting hold and stepped away from the bed. Serena gave him a questioning look as she wondered why he had suddenly pulled away from her the way he had. A sunken feeling hit her as the feathers that had fallen away returned to his face to reform the mask. He then let out a sigh and looked down as he clicked his fingers. Suddenly tar-like tentacles came from the shadows of her room and before she could shriek for help her mouth was covered and her body became restrained. "You were a very fun to play with, child of man." He said with a dark smirk. "Sayōnara~" With that, he blew a taunting kiss. She was then pulled into the darkness. Never to be seen in that world any more. He didn't care what would happen to her. This was just a job to him and he was happy to fulfil it. It was perfect for a twisted sadist like him. A few moments passed by as an eagle flew to him and gave him a new target. This one would be slightly tougher to crack but nothing was impossible. He had chosen to be like this to carry on his twisted ways, even into the borderline world and he was nothing but thankful to his masters for granting him this life.

Doooo it~

Isn't anyone else gonna make a character?

Lookin at these others I am beginning to think I did mine wrong! XD;

Name: Ishmael Laethalseer. Age: 35. (Looks younger due to his lineage) Sex: Male. Sexuality: Omnisexual switch. Race: Half-wood elf. Description: Given his age and race, he is quite short and stands at 5.6ft. His body is lithe yet toned in all the places that matter for someone who is in the business of performance art. Normally he has peridot-coloured eyes, but during a full moon, they become molten gold. His skin is abnormally pale, even for an elf, and is constantly cold. His hair is normally light brown but becomes golden blond during a full moon. He often wears it tied up but when it is untied, it flows down to his buttocks. Background: His mother is a full-blooded wood elf and he knows nothing about who his real father is and he gave up trying to get any information many moons ago. All his life he has travelled around, never stopping in one place for more than a week at a time, thus is the nature of his tribe. Unlike most half-bloods in this world, he never experienced discrimination as half-elf children mostly look exactly like elves and rarely like anything else. (And as long as your mouth stays shut no one is the wiser!) That and the tribe he is from are used to women having fatherless children as they are entertainers by trade and men will be men, regardless of race. Once he was fifteen he decided he was tired of telling tales that were passed down to him and wanted to experience the world by himself. Sure it was nice weaving stories around a fire or in a tavern but it was another writing your one. While he was denied at first (they thought it was a phase that all their children go through at one point or another.) it soon became clear that he was determined to become independent of them. The desire grew as he became older and eventually, he gained the approval of the tribal elders to leave and start his journey. Since then he has simply wandered from town to town. Unlike his tribe, he takes his time. To Ishmael; life is just one big adventure waiting to be explored and told. Note: He has no idea who or what his father is since no one would tell him. All that is known is that his appearance changes on a full moon.

After working on some stuff tonight I'll see what I can do~

I have YouTube Premium because I was fed up with getting ads on my daughter's tablet so I like listening to stuff on YouTube. Especially the lofi stuff. As I write this I am listening to this one:

I have dyslexia and have found that the Grammarly extension has become my BEST friend when it comes to writing. Like, for reals. I have the free version on my Chrome browser and it has helped me out a ton. The free version needs a bit of common sense to tell it what to do but it is still pretty awesome. I can't remember how much it costs to get the full version (which corrects things in more detail and even teaches you context and such. So your own personal English tutor!) but if I could afford it I would pay for it. Anyway - if you want help with writing, don't just triple-check but also use this extension!

Welcome I'm glad you like it so far. I might write a guide about clubs too in here a little later. Feel free to recommend us to anyone you think would like it here.

Feel free to share music that helps you write or that sets the mood for whatever you are roleplaying.
