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

Expectation drills into Noe's face as the Greater Ephrene watches and waits for Noe's reaction.

Perplexed, Noe asks the Greater Ephrene, "Did you hear yourself speak?"

Taking Noe's lower arm, Daniel whispers to Noe, "Wait a second." Daniel's voice calls out to the Greater Ephrene, "I have two questions for you."

"Speak." The Greater Ephrene regards Daniel as if Daniel were no more than a piece of animal excrement left along a sidewalk.

"What will be the consequence if Noe does not join your cause?"

With disdain on the tip of his tongue, the Greater Ephrene responds solemnly, "That is for the Omniscient to foresee and us never to know. Noeremous has no choice in the matter. He will come to us."

"Don't address me as if I am not in the room," the anger in Noe's eyes sparks tiny balls of flame around his body that travel from head to toe. Daniel has never seen Noe look so hot.

"Hush now, child," the Greater Ephrene shushes Noe.
