Chapter 1

"Rise and shine boys. Get ready for the service." The man in charge of the boys in the hostel had called out into the morning, ugh mom really sent me to a prison, and now I have to go to church? We almost like the humans from the 19th century cowering at an existence made up from so called righteous believers who threw around their powers and made everyone think that there was a god so they could win over power and wealth, and to me they are smart. With how far they've come, world domination is already in the bag but with the amount of power users these days, things really aren't going to be good if they try it, I won't lie, I'm just 13 but with all I've gone through and know, nothing in this world comes without a cost.

I get out of shower and walk towards the mirror, the steam off my body from the water, and from my hair, I dry it out and straighten it, I was under control and I was going to be whole. I go wear my clothes with a sweater on cause only those who been in boarding school will know that its bloody cold in the morning, every morning you'd see a brother heating up his water, mine just evaporates or at least warms up in contact with my skin. Blackfire, another property of my darkness.

As I walk into the church things were not what I expected, I thought the church would have made some huge statue but it wasn't even a statue, as soon as I sat down and what they call a pastor started talking, I slept off.

I woke up to someone screaming their vocals off in front of me, was it the end of church?

I get out of the place, cant believe these people are like my mom but theirs is disgusting. I take a look at my palm, the dark fire dancing to the rhythm of my heart beat. I felt a hand on my left shoulder and turn to see some girl, she had something in her hands and then looked at me like we knew each other from before this time.

"Hi, my names Camilla. What's yours?" I didn't look at her anymore, the smile on her face was just, annoying. I walk towards the sand, right next to us and mark out my name with the dark fire and walked away. Still standing there watching, she screams after me, "Nice to meet you too!!"

This was one weird school.

I get changed and come down for breakfast, on menu was bread, eggs, butter or mayonnaise with tea. I finished quickly because everyone here annoyed me with the way they all smiled like everything was okay. I didn't feel safe in this school and I was going to increase my abilities, as I reached the doors which was kind of small for such a large room, she walked in, the most beautiful thing this school had to offer that altered and made me so different. I froze.

"uh can you move out of the way" I was so captivated by her that I forgot this place was small and I broke out of my trance, not exactly. I was so afraid I would lose my opportunity to see her again so when she took a right, I also took a right and the same for the left until she kept looking me in the eye and then she moved me backwards without laying a finger on me. Telepathy?

She walks away and I'm still stunned and later on, embarrassed about everything that had happened. I head towards the individual training facility, fortified with powers from other teachers and the principal. Once I get into the room, just like it normally was; sound cancelling, night and day type simulator and a button for emergency in case your powers tend to hurt you since no one would know if something happens to you.

To collect my thoughts, from the past and now, it's not much to say that people cant always be the same, the powers are different and the morals are different. I don't know what happened to the me of this timeline that had allowed me to have my memories of the one that had died in another timeline that's similar to this one, in events and in power. His or my memories are worth 70 years of experience and not to mention that I failed in getting the girl that caused me to become stronger to be with her, but that also didn't work so I am not going to waste my time on that anymore, if my memories are correct, in 5 years there'll be a competition which in that timeline I could only wish to be strong but now; everything's different.

The flames came out, it's true that light and dark affinity users are powerful and people mistake the light affinity to be stronger that's why the church seeks to invite those with the light affinity and use them all to promote their false sense of peace and their God. The black flames were alive on it's own, without my need to control it and one of its attributes is to devour, it devours any light attribute attack against it and it devours any dark attribute attack and turn that attack into an attribute for me but since there cant be two people with the same attributes, I will have to kill the one that I stole his attribute from.

The main flaw of this attribute is that if the attack is too great, I would have to burn a little of my life essence to supply to the flame since its alive. Although the flaw costs dearly, it is worth it if I can add more attribute for the coming war against the church. I have to be prepared no matter what.

It took an hour for me to fully get the grasp of the devour attribute and I wanted to test it out, but being the only dark affinity user was a disadvantage. I leave the training room to go have some fresh air, it might've been a good thing to have the devour attribute out but my brother, Caesar was a limitless light affinity user. Limitless in the sense that he had all attributes possible to a light affinity user and if ever he saw one that he doesn't have all he has to do is touch the person while they perform their attribute. He was a monster in the making, and to defeat that monster in the future, I would have to become an even greater monster.

As I reach the grounds for sports, specifically basketball, there she was playing it with no little than a sweat on her. Her control of the telepathic power that she had was good, even though now I hold no true feelings for her; she does remind me of someone I cared about like my own daughter. At this time I'm sure she's not even born yet so after the competition in five years I'll go look for her, and this time, raise her so she can never dream of betraying me.

"Food is ready, you all come and eat," the lady in charge of the females had come out to get everyone to the refectory to eat.

"Coming!!" most of the girls had shouted as they walked as though food was going to be good. I hurried over too so I could get some of that in me, all that meditating has left me hungry.

As I walked into the refectory, at the corner of my eye I could feel a familiar energy emanating from one of the students; killing intent. That's something high school kids shouldn't have but there he is, just how many people would have had to be killed to have that much. I ignore it and go on to get something to eat, I'm still new in this school, I can't go causing unnecessary trouble.
