Chapter 1: Aleryinth

The dark sky with a background of sprinkle of stars spread to decorate the night, like diamonds that looked sparkling to cover the silence.

In the middle of a courtyard, six people stood with circular white suits forming a hexagon. Amid these six people, it appeared that someone with a black robe covered his entire body, kneeling motionless.

The six people began to mumble and make strange movements with their hands. Then lines of light began to form, slowly drawing diagram with complicated patterns. The six people were doing ritual, and the person in the middle seemed to be their offering.

After a while, that diagram shot bright light into the sky. It is as if the light will destroy anything that passes through it, but when it arrives in the sky, the light looks no bigger than a speck of star and then disappear.

Then shortly after the light vanished, it was as if one of the million of stars had fallen and headed right towards the six people who were undergoing the ritual. However, the light like a shooting star suddenly turned and headed in another direction.

"...?!"

"What happened?!"

"Did we make a mistake ?!"

The six people looks panicked and astonished, the light should have slid right in the direction of their offering but instead headed in the other direction.

"Something went wrong ..."

"What do you think?"

"No, there's no way we made a mistake, we also bring the right offering."

"Then?"

"..."

The six people discussed what mistakes they had accidentally committed, but were sure that they had not made any mistake. Everything has been done perfectly.

"For now, let's follow where it's going."

After making a vote, the six people rushed towards the light away. But before they left, one of them asked.

"What about that?"

"Kill."

A sword pierces the body of the person kneeling in the middle of the circle, a pool of blood covers a portion of the diagram. Leaving horror under the beauty of the night sky

Somewhere in the middle of the forest, in a weathered wooden house with a hollow roof that was hit by a hot object. Seen the body of a woman with pale clean skin, lying in a bed covered in dull cloth. Strangely not even a speck of dust was attached to the naked woman's body, not even her sleeping cloth with a distance of an inch from her body.

The messy, long gray haired woman slowly opened her eyes. The jade-clear eyes looked glazed, instead of trying to remember what had happened, she looked at the night sky through the hole in the roof of the house. Her face was so beautiful, as if the moonlight would dim if she looked directly at it. Even dust seemed unable to pollute such a beautiful face.

She began to lift her body, staring at herself not wearing any cloth. Then turned to look around, a slum house that looked uninhabited, did not look the least bit of life, even insects.

Slowly she regain her consciousness, her face looked surprised.

"HUHH!!???"

She immediately covered a certain part of her body, her face was red, then looked around again, still a slum house without life.

Oh I must have dreamed, she thought. Then she get a little calmer and started to get out of bed. Still worried, she walked slowly looking for something to wear, then found a drawer containing clothes. Strangely, the clothes were still very clean as if they were new, or there was magic that kept the clothes clean, even though it looked so old.

The woman wore brown knee-length leather pants and a blackish green loose shirt. Realizing that something was out of place, she realized that her hair was so long, lying from the bed to his feet.

"Eh ..."

The woman looked strange, her face looked amazed but also scared. Then continue to take her hair past her shirt. After tidying her hair, she just let it go, dragged on the floor. She did not feel disturbed while circling the contents of the old house.

And finally she found a mirror, cleaned the dust that stuck to the mirror with her hand and then looked at herself. A pair of jade gray eyes looked beautiful, along with pointed nose and thin lips neatly arranged on an oval face depicting the beauty of a princess in a fairy tale.

Is that me? How can? Her body shape is so charming, able to make any man interested only with one look.

She tried to think what was happening? How can she be like this and where is this place?

That beautiful face began to show concern. When she was transfixed in reverie, a small earthquake was felt, making dust all over the contents of the house flying.

Then the door opened, the rumbling sound of a wooden door and the silhouette of someone in the middle of the door made her shocked and scared. Dust flying makes the house feel foggy, minimizing the view. Someone in the middle of the door walked over, his steps looked heavy.

While she trembled backward. The person had arrived in front of her, and the dust was no longer flying. A handsome face began to appear, his green eyes sparkling staring at a woman in front of him. Emitting sorrow and longing. While the woman was still trembling, her lips were locked unable to say anything. Only able to stare at the man who was staring at her too.

"Ale ..."

Said the man quietly along with tears that blazed his face. His voice sounded chaotic. His big hand trembling touched the woman's cheek in front of him. The woman wanted to rebel but could not, as if she also missed him, as if she had known him for so long, as if he was someone of great value. And finally she able to speak.

"Who are you. . ?"

The man looked surprised, wiped his tears and then brought his face closer.

"Aleryinth. This is me, Graythes."

The man tried to smile, but the woman in front of him still looked confused.

"Aleryinth ... Is that my name?"

"Yes, of course it's you, that's your name."

"But ..."

The woman fell silent, thinking maybe she was possessing someone else's body? How about her original body?

"I... I'm not Aleryinth, I'm Risa!"

Risa tried to back away but the wooden wall blocked her, her pale face became more pale. The man named Graythes also looked confused.

Clearly, the woman before him was someone he meant. The two of them stood still, staring at each other's faces letting their eyes enjoy the figure that should be so close. Letting the sky dominate the night in silence that might calming their mind.
