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

The ground rumbles as Eris jumps from the top bunk.

Eris assesses the waves in Noe's broken skin. There could only be one person terrible enough to exact such in this school, "Sir Renner?"

Daniel nods. "His name is Noe. He's your roommate. Can you rest him somewhere soft while I get a first aid kit from the nurse's office?"

Peeling Noe out of Daniel's arms, Eris silently complies.

When Daniel returns with a transparent box filled with gloves, bandages, and medicine, he finds Noe strewn on his stomach in the bottom bunk.

Kneeling beside Noe, Daniel calmly pulls out cotton swabs and dabs batches of medicine onto them. However, when it comes time to apply the ointment, Daniel can only see a blob of darkness.

Daniel's hands fall onto his lap. "Eris," Daniel comes up with an excuse, "I need to get a spare uniform for Noe. Can you smear this in while I fetch a fresh pair?"
