An Awakening

Warning! This chapter contains scenes of self-harm that may make readers uncomfortable.

Triqi kicked pebbles around her schoolyard listlessly. Her thoughts drifted elsewhere, about her father, about everything.

The child had to wear a hoodie again because her skin slowly became responsive to sunlight since her fight with Valan, which ended with Valan locking himself in his room. Triqi even started to distance herself from her school friends again. She didn't want them to know that Triqi was different. Triqi didn't want to be called a monster by her friends anymore.

Back to Tritan, it seemed the child had made up her mind. Her feet were carried as far as possible when, from afar, she could already feel that her father's subordinates had come to pick her up. She knew that both her mother and father would not allow the idea she had. Who would believe that someone could rise with just a drop of blood?
