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

Instead of greeting Daniel with a normal kiss or hand-hold, Noe keeps his arms respectfully behind his back. Noe turns to Daniel, "How did it go?"

"Stop that," Daniel engulfs Noe in a hug. As Daniel steps back, he catches the prying eyes of soldiers boring into them.

"I know you have control over the situation," Noe nods. Carefully, Noe eases in a suggestion, "What if I flew the battalion and army of souls to Northville? Would that be a good idea for you?" Noe walks on eggshells to avoid over-stepping Daniel's boundaries.

Daniel deeply assesses the surety in Noe's gaze. "You have enough energy."

Noe jokes, "Sometimes, I feel as if I have all the energy in the world."

Like a swarm of locusts, the clad in black battalion merges with the green of Terry's army. Together, they form a flying layer that extends for miles over the Earth. Upfront, Noe leads them to places untrod and futures unknown.
