Mistake...
That word is now a part of my genes,.... It has always been....
Believe it or not, I started life as a celebrity. Its super easy to steal the spotlight when you are the only baby to be born on the planet for a stretch of several months.
Plus my father was the general of our world's military.
So, into the spotlight I came, looking in every way like a normal baby, but little did the people of Eraxva know that they would make my life Super. Pretty. Terrible.
Cirius is a planet that has been occupied for millienia by the Eraxvanians, a powerful race of sentient beings who can be classified as peaceful but as they say, no being can be outright peaceful.
A few hundred years ago, we were attacked by the Xeros.
This insect like race were the bogeymen of our Galaxy.
Literally.
They were the terror of old and young.
When they had sights on a planet, just tick it off the charts. That planet was a goner.
They treated other beings as a predator would a prey....
No. More like a big game Hunter would treat an animal.
With no regards whatsoever for damage or lives lost.
When they were detected entering the Eraxvanian solar system, the whole planet was thrown into chaos.
Retreat into deep underground safety bunkers built within the planet was immediate. But not all made it.
Some of those locked out were picked off with phasers and plasmas from the Xeros, while the rest were finished of by claws.
The Xeros left and we came out.
We learned our lessons and began building weapon because they were sure to return.
And return they did.
But we fought back and my father fought his way up the ranks till he became supreme general.
We drove off the Xeros- pretty sure that was the first time that happened to them- but the plasma leaks had done irreparable damage.
Our star began to pulse releasing huge doses u.v that decimated our population and ruined every pregnancy.
Well except me.
The day I was born was a day of celebrations for Eraxva.
I was treated with such respect and care, you would think I was the Saviour.
Then at the age of 6, everything turned upside down. It started a day before my birthday, with my aunt who was taking care of me.
She was bathing me when it occurred. She was ranting on and on about how spectacular my birthday party was going to be as no child was still yet to be conceived.
Her voice was starting to make my ears bleed when my vision suddenly reddened and blurred and my body moved of its own accord.
Next thing, I was standing there with her heart in my hand and she, frozen and staring at me. My mother walked in when my aunt was collapsing. My mum screamed and followed suit.
When she came to, she just cleaned everything up while avoiding me. It was kept a secret.
But not for long. Because it happened again on my birthday. In front of the crowd- and TV camera drones- and there was no hiding it.
The whole world saw me for what I was.
A Monster.
★. ★. ★. ★. ★.
"Put your arms into it, worms!!!"
The group of cadets and I put more effort into the rope we were pulling.
At least I pretended to.
I could pull the rope alone with one hand tied behind my back. Ever since that incident my strength grew and my senses got enhanced.
But I can't flaunt that kind of strength everywhere I go if I want to keep a low profile, especially not at the space corps academy. Even my getting into this place was tough but possible only because my father made a super real show of "killing" me on my birthday that even my mother fell for it.
After a few surgeries, my identity was changed and I could live a normal life..... Or at least a resemblance of it.
Now I plan to gain some form of training. Strength without skill is s.h.i.t.
Once our physical training ends, we move to class. Finally something I honestly am poor at. No need for pretence.
★. ......
I walk to class in my cadet uniform that was honestly as ugly as anything you can think of.
I feel stupid walking in them, and as if to punish me more, Tyrion my lousy friend popped out of one branch corridor and bumped into me.
"Well I'll be damned!!. If it ain't Val The Lazy"
"Shut it Ty"
Did I mention that Tyrion has issues with voice volume?.
That boy can shame any voice projector. I would say his voice can rattle walls but I like to keep my exaggeration at minimum. But still he is a wonder.
Just then three of the top tier girls in our class passed by and started giggling. Boy, did I feel like smashing Ty's head into the wall.
Blood rushed to my face and began to ache, while Ty just kept ranting on and on till I had to stop and take a deep breath. Ty didn't even notice I had stopped till he was several feet away from me.
"Uh... You okay, V?"
I stared at him for several seconds.
"Yes. Yes I am okay. I am perfectly fine"
"Good. Now we have to hurry to class. We have Anatomy and lieutenant Ratr won't like you being late...... Considering what you did last time"
"Eish" I grimaced and ran ahead of Ty.
I am not giving that sadistic female called Ratr another chance to kick my ass.
