“Honey may I have a word?” Miss Mo'nique who had been in the back of the room, appeared before Sonatas adoptive father.
Sonatas adoptive mother (if even deserving of that title) had many attention issues. For some reason Sonata always grabbed the attention of her adoptive father. Leaving a bad taste in `that woman's´ mouth. Sonata could care less about the attention… in fact, she would gladly give it to `that woman´ if it meant she could be at peace.
However Sonata was aware that the attention cushioned her in many ways. If she were to give up the attention she would be completely at `that woman's´ mercy. `That woman´ would leave more physical wounds if she felt she could get away with it. Even so she wouldn't mind if she could have some alone time.
Her father flashed a glare at `the woman´ making `the woman´ cringe. This gave Sonata a little satisfaction.
[Aw, the the comforts of karma]
`The woman´ suffered to let out a response but all that came out of her mouth “We can speak some other time...”
“...if you have something to say please say it in front of the person in question. Don't… stoop to idle gossip behind ones back. As my wife you should set a better example for our household”.
Sucking up her pride `the woman´ bowed and exited the room with subtle agitation. Sonata did felt a little sorry for `that woman´ even if she deserved it.
“Now Sonata shall we continue with what I was going to propose?" Her father continued
“As you know sonata, our world's inhabitants are animals from earth given a chance to be human, as per our agreement with father. As such father has blessed us with tools known as artifacts which are extensions of our animals souls making it easy to distinguish our races… do you know why the artifacts should be the same, sonata?”
Sonata rolled her eyes, of course she knew everyone knew… “its to seperate us into families”
“Yes your correct, as you know we can't procreate like we did on earth since our souls are immediately sent to this world upon death. There is no need for the power of procreation. so everyone here is adopted into there own species family...except you”.
Sonata stood there surprised she had figured she was different, but never quite understood why. How had she not piece it together… “i'm a different species.. But isn't that against fathers commandments?”
On the contrary... father came himself to give you to us” father said.
“It shocked us all a whole bunch” felix pitched in, berry juice stained the sides of his lips
Her father gave him a quick glance then ignored the comment “when father handed you to us, as you are aware we are a ‘parrot species family’ and our very pride is colors. to this truth, we had no idea how to deal with other species besides parrots. every species has different awakening techniques for an artifact and uses different arts. But you are a mystery to us all”
“We thought you would be a raven species but that's not the case your had never had an interest in anything shin……. well anything” Joshin replied
“Exactly what makes you a mystery to us all” her father paused in thought as if still thinking through the idea of her being a raven
Discouraged he continued “Which is the main reason i decided for your to enter lights peek in particular the arts department, there's many more species there that could be like you. On top of that the knowledge learned in this institution may help you understand who you are in turn awaken your artifact.”
Sonata had never had this amount of information dumped her at once like that. She had always had so many unnecessary questions that weighed on her mind to have an majority of them answered all at once was a lot to swallow. For the first time in all her life she had a goal and she was convinced it started with entering lights peek. Though even though she was determined she knew very well she was going to regret it eventually
