SEP1A

The future of mankind rests in Noe's hands. Having faced brutal bullying throughout his life, Noe is sent to a boarding school where his luck takes a sudden turn for the fantastical.

Planet Earth, 2075. Humanity is hanging by a thread after World War Three rendered the globe inhabitable.

With the introduction of angels, demons and realms unknown, will Noe play a hand in saving humanity or let the humans that mistreated him burn beneath his flames? To destroy the World or save it? That is the question.

Excerpt:

Like a demon of destruction, Noe snaps.

His vision blurs and dissipates, scattered like glass beads across cement.

When he comes to, he is no longer watching the scene but is at its epicenter, soaking in a pool of purple blood, maroon cadavers strewn across the ground. Every centimeter of the hall is covered in gore - except for Mr. Henderson, whose eyes, wide-blown in astonishment... and horror, are captivated by Noe's neck.

Looking down at himself, Noe sees thousands of black feathers have sprouted out from his own flesh. They tingle at the root and shudder as he breathes, as if leaves clinging to a tree in winter. Blood coats his every morsel.

Springing his now grey fingertips onto his neck, Noe perceives what feels like the head of a purple hyacinth wrapped around it, its ribbon-like strands interlocking and jetting as if growing from his voice box.

Touching his face, porcelain-smooth, painted by blood, marble skin appears unbreakable.

It was all for first love.

Devil Child

One night, after dinner had been prepared and Noe was sure Daniel was in the cafeteria, Noe finds himself asking Jinn, "Have you seen Daniel?"

This is a question Noe has never had to ask aloud. However, Noe cannot tether his thoughts to Daniel's. When Noe first felt himself losing control, he shut Daniel out of his mind. Imagine the shame if Daniel discovered this lascivious side of Noe.

Jinn absently says, "I think he went to the Reborn with Riley."

The Reborn is not a sect in Eastville that Noe has ventured to before. "Do you know where that is?"

"Nope," Jinn responds as Rosalind pops another grape into his mouth. Jinn chokes slightly.

Across from each other on one of the wooden cafeteria benches, Jinn and Rosalind play a round of 'open your mouth as wide as you can and I'll shoot some grapes into it'. Feng Mian watches them, the resoluteness to reject Rosalind that she used to have in her eyes chipping away with every passing moment.
