𝐀 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐏𝐈𝐎𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 PRESENTS

𝐁𝐀𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐎𝐍

Jenesis Rhodes or otherwise known as the troubled child, was never able to grasp the concept of tradition when it came to those around her, particularly with the mental and physical torment that came with these traditions—watching those who failed to conform to the pinnacles of these traditions be erased from the family tree, shunning them into the murk. Nonetheless, ordinances adhered to mindlessly; once colourful spirits now manoeuvre around like carcasses desiring to be hailed and heralded by elders within Haven.

Dissimilar to the other members, Jenesis was not allured; if anything, she could see through the bullshit and coveted the day that everyone would view Haven in the same light, yet that day was taking its time to make an appearance. As she aged, a pit of revolt formed within the raven-haired girl, gradually spilling out of her, causing disarray with every action. However, turmoil wasn't enough for Jenesis; she yearned for something more, something that seemed to occupy her dreams.

What lay beyond the Haven grounds?
