So to my dear readers, ah I could very well say I'm exhausted. Of course working back to back eight hours a day and six days a week could do that and that doesn't even include overtime. So please sympathize with me of course you could also ignore me. Anyways it's been a while and I got so inspired I'm going crazy if I don't write so don't mind me being bitter complaining as I'm squeezing this time from my lunch break.
In Evimeria talent wasn't all that mattered, many talents with unsuitable physiques die early and so as early as a child is born he or she is tested for physique, it was the only other test done in addition to determining the newborn's gender. Physique's range from F the worst to SSS+ the best in all Evimeria as much as they were rare. So there was F grade physique who were weaker at birth and prune to illness. The subsequent physiques were much better, the E grade, the D grade, the C grade, the B grade, the A grade, the S grade, the SS grade, the SSS- grade and finally the SSS+ grade.

Pain, confusion, despair is all that I felt, I was sure I did everything right, that the emotions between us was mutual. I had imagined it a million times but I never saw this end, even with all my gift I couldn't predict that they wouldn't want me. A shiver shot through me as the pain twisted in my gut, I couldn't tell if I was queasy or just disoriented, all I was aware of was the pain, the utter self consuming pain. I was riding Snow sprinting towards gods know where delirious with fever from my upcoming heat but I didn't care. I could hear Lu no he was Lucas now, he was trying to catch up riding Onyx but I still didn't look back, I could if I tried, after he broke my trust so effortlessly. I wondered what else he Knew but didn't say. Still riding I thought of Dory's smile, no I should call him Theodore now. Remembering that adoring smile he always gave me was like rubbing salt on wound and finally my tears fell, even I wasn't aware of it perhaps only the gods watching me that day could really tell what I felt.
Three years later
'Clang, Clang, Clang' swords clashed together creating a beautiful background sound, the sky was as clear as the day it was created no cloud in sight but the sight was all roses, of course it wasn't this was the battle ground after all. Finally the sounds ceased as the last body dropped. And as if the world was holding it's breath the grounds descended into deafening silence as the soldiers made sure all enemies were eliminated then as if they hadn't just won a war they began gathering the scattered bodies. It wasn't because they weren't happy, no of course they were happy but this was the Western Tiger Army and their Supreme Commander Ciel DeCallisto had drilled it in them the importance of respecting life, and so even though they hade minimum casualties they still lost comrades after all and even they enemy defeated were people who once breathed the same air.
Ciel DeCallisto, Supreme commander of the Western Tiger Army was standing on the defending wall of Acrocorintio the border city watching as his army cleared up the bodies. He was dressed in his tactical suit and combat boots ready to hop in should any harm appear, Lucas in his fatigues was behind as usual then a golden eagle appeared, Ciel's eyes zeroed on it watching as it flew towards him, eventually he stretched his arm and let the bird perch before taking the message it delivered. Ciel scrutinized the paper until he was satisfied before passing the eagle to Lucas so he could feed the travel worn bird some food and water and perhaps get some rest before it would fly back to the city with a reply maybe. At this time Ciel did not know this letter maybe the end to his self imposed exile nor did he know what the alphas he imprinted were cooking for him back at the thrones feet, the capital...
