~The next two chapters (including this one) will be flashbacks. They'll be long chapters and most magicks will be explained in this. Cya!~

[APHMAU]

I gripped Daddy's hand, skipping along the quartz path of the Irene City. Every now and then a civilian waved to me, cuasing me to blush and wave back. I was wearing a flower crown with small gems engraved in some of them and a lilac dress.

"Daddy?" I had asked, looking up at my father with an excited face. "Can I go see Hyria? I wanna see her!"

Shad bent down to my height. "Sure you can. Are her parents home?"

I nodded my three-year-old head, honestly not even knowing the truth myself.

He stood back up and ruffled my hair. "Well then, go on. I'll meet you there kiddo."

I ran around the tree, trying to find the secret entrance to my friends' and I's treehouse in the humongous tree that was in the center of the grassy island I was on.

I found the special spot marked with an Irene symbol, signalling that the door to the entrance was right beside it. I heard grass crunching just around the corner of the tree from another child, Jin, who was trying to find me.

I quickly ran inside through the door, feeling as if I was suffocated for a second as I walked through the wood but perfectly fine once again as I stepped inside the hollow tree. A ladder was in the center of the childlike-decorated tree, so I ran and started climbing up the ladder, not even daring to look down for a millisecond.

Once I reached the top I was on a balcony that wrapped around the tree, allowing me to run around the bark and look at my confused brother below.

Once he yelled that he gave up I giggled and summoned a pebble in my hand before throwing it at his feet, causing him to look up at me and sigh.

"Why didn't I think of that?" He asked himself loud enough for me to hear.

(If I had one penny for every time I said tree...)

I was now five years old and silently cried in my room as I heard the screams of Mommy and Daddy, Irene and Shad, fighting. They've been fighting for the past two weeks until Shad declared war yesterday. It hasn't started yet and just in case Mommy made the castle in a completely different dimension from the city.

Loud crashes were heard as magicks started to be used, making me whimper.

Mommy ran into my room and spotted me on my bed. She ran over to me, a small cut on her cheek that was bleeding.

"Mommy, you're bleeding," I whispered and reached my hand out to her cheek, letting a soft white glow appear and the cut disappeared. (Sorry to ruin the moment, but obvious much?)

"Thank you honey, but I need you to help me pack up your bag. You're going to be going with your friends, brothers, and sister to Earth," She told me in a hurry. Her amber eyes flicked around nervously.

I tilted my head to the side a small bit innocently. I had only heard of Earth in books and fairytales, and have never been there before. Hyria had when she was one until she was two, but other than that nobody other than her, Mommy, and Daddy had been there.

"O-Okay Mommy.." I whispered hesitantly.

We finished packing my lilac bag, and I was now dressed in a purple sweater, grey sweatpants, and black boots. I looked over at Mommy with worry.

"Mommy, where are you going?" I asked her innocently.

"Honey, Aphmau," She said as she crouched down to my level and cupped my face in her hand. "Know that Mommy and Daddy love you and none of this is your fault, okay? Promise me you'll always be that brave little warrior princess and always protect everyone. Forgive everyone even from their worst sins, but if they don't learn punish them."

I nodded my head, a tear dripping down my face. Mommy kissed my forehead and said, "One more thing."

I watched as a white glow appeared in front of me before it took the form of a pure white sword. The wings on my back fluttered with anticipation, as I had only seen swords when my oldest brother was training or when I saw Daddy with one before he became mean.

"This is a sword of the angels. It won't be seen by anyone but you, but never use it unless needed or until you are at least ten years old, can you promise Mommy that?" She asked me.

I nodded my head, making sure my wings didn't flutter anymore.

"Go on with your brothers and sister and find your friends. I promise none of this is your fault, Jess. Mommy and Daddy are just really mad at each other, okay? Don't blame yourself for this."

I nodded my head yet again before running off.

Everything was in flames. Buildings burned, explosions rang out, blood was everywhere on the battlefield.

I gripped Oliver's hand tighter, holding onto my lilac stuffed wolf with my other hand.

The Irene City looked nothing like it used to. Large buildings, civilians walking around, animals as free as humans or magicks users yet still getting proper attention, people playing with their magicks, had been turned into rubble, dead bodies, starving animals or animals fighting to survive, and magick users fighting in the war alongside soldiers.

Oliver, Jin, Claire, and I were waiting for a soldier to come and lead us to the portal to Earth. First, we decided to stay in the Irene City for a bit to say goodbye, but then war broke out here too.

Claire had left to go with the soldier to scout out the hidden portal Mommy made for us, but I had a feeling something would go bad.

The feeling turned out to be right, as the soldier came back, but no Claire.

"Where's Claire?" Oliver asked the soldier, anger and worry flooding his voice.

"Excuse me for the words I am about to say, but the princess, your sister, sadly didn't make it," The soldier told us.

I was confused. Why were Jin and Oli crying? How did Claire not make it?

---

"No! Jin, I'm not leaving!" Six-year-old me screamed.

"Jess, you have to! Castor, go with her and make sure she doesn't try to stay!"

I felt Castor grip my hand as I tried to struggle but to no avail. My siblings and friends were over there fighting my father's minions and I was leaving?!

"Castor, please let me stay!" I screamed, tears falling like waterfalls as he gripped my tiny hand in his.

"I'm sorry, Aph, but we can't. We'll see them soon, c'mon." A look of sympathy flashed on his face but I didn't let that fool me.

They hated me. That's why they wanted me away.

---

I was now eight years old and looking at the large laboratory in front of me with anticipation.

"Satiel, Castor, come on!" I told the two boys impatiently.

"Geez, Aph, patient much," Satiel replied tiredly. OK, maybe it was a little fair he was slow because I woke him at seven in the morning, but we're about to get our starters! This is a big deal!

"Castor, are you awake?" Aphmau questioned as she poked his stomach.

"Huh? Oh, yeah." He yawned. "I'm awake. Sorta." He kept stumbling as he walked, exhausted from staying up late and waking up early.

"Good. Now, let's go get our starters! Didn't you hear that Professor Oak added six new ones?" Jess ranted, smiling goofily. "The starters are Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Cyndiquill, Totodile, Treeko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup! I'm choosing Piplup!"

"You sure know a thing or two about starters," Castor mumbled under his breath.

Sooooo...Hi? Yeah. Ummm..I honestly don't know what to say other than I'm starting a question of the day? More or less I'm gonna ask a question at the end of each post and afterwards I'm gonna put in my A/Ns.

QOTD : What's your guys' favorite Pokemon or Pokemon you would pick as a starter? (All the generations)

Okay, updates will be late. I'm trying my best to keep up, but those of you who care enough to listen to me understand or know what's going on. I only posted this Wednesday because of that, and will be trying to keep up with my normal schedule next week.

Peace out Draglins!

Explanation for my Hiatus:

Hey guys. Uhh.. so... I guess I have to explain why I haven't posted in an enternity.

So, things have been really stressful for me.

I'm getting more homework and my family's starting to get mad at me more often, most of the time for reasons I don't know. Everytime I try to help with something or do something it seems to anger or annoy them, and it's starting to get me deeper in depression, where I even had a suicide attempt (that only 3-5 people know about) last month.

Anyway, school is one major reason.

My second reason (MY GAWD I CAN'T GET THE FRICKEN' SCHOOL FORMAT OUTTA MY HEAD) is just... Wattpad in general. I keep feeling stressed to update and in the end just don't, even though I already have chapters prepared.

*Cough* AGH I'M CHOKING ON AIR AGAIN!! Hey, don't make fun of me!! It takes skill to choke on air, trip over nothing, run into walls, and forget nearly everything!

Anyhoo, so what I was planning to make up for this is make a new story I can post in my freetime!

So, I decided you guys can make up the title and idea for 2 stories and I'll choose the winners and post over Easter Holiday! (Started today and I get 10 days offa sucky schule!)

It can be a fanfic, adopted by, x child!reader, etc., as long as it isn't innapropiate (Spelling? I really need Google spell check {Misspelled that 5 times})

All you need to do is type the name and/or description, your ideas for the first chapter, and there ya go! I'll be sure to give you credit for whatever you did!

It doesn't matter how sucky the idea, and I'm not going off the 'I'm first so I get chosen' rules. Also, don't be afraid to state your ideas! I'll still be sure to either use your ideas when I finish the books or mention you in the next non-already-made chapter!

Anyway, that's all. There's still other reasons I'm not updating but they're private reasons.

Thanks for all the support. You guys (and my IRL friends) are the only reasons I stopped myself from ODing.

Buh bye!!
