Iris's origin

Ok I'm gonna do something a little bit different...

I'm going to write about the origin of one of my Ocs. Iris Kester.

To be honest I could just upload this to Legend of Eriska, or even create a new book consisting of character Origins...

But I didn't. I'm doing it this way. Sue me.

(Plz don't actually due me, I'm broke as it is)

Alright. Okay. I'm going to write. Don't know how it'll turn out. May be good. May be shit. May have a dodgy plot...

It's like, 11 at night okay? My brain is mush, but I can't sleep until I've written this down (it popped into my brain and won't leave me alone! ;-;)

Btw it'll start off as Iris's point of view, then switch to third person. And then go back to Iris's pov.  Also this may be kinda angsty and emotional. Maybe.

So. Iris's origin.

Go!

I'm very unique. Probably the only one of my kind.

You see, my story starts before I came to be. It begins with my parents. My mother was pure human with a kind heart, who also happened to be commanding officer in her village. My father however… he was a half-breed.

His mother was a demon, while his father was a shadow mage. That made him a very powerful species that could conquer anything. He looked like a regular human in all ways except for his eyes, which were an unnatural cloudy grey colour. One day my father came to a conclusion that he needed some way to pass down his power to a younger generation, to allow him to continue his reign even after his death. He decided to have a child, but in order to do that he would need a suitable woman to bear it. One day he found my mother and immediately sensed her capability, making him believe she was the perfect concubine. He tricked her into falling for him and a year later, they had their first child. My brother, Lukali.

As soon as my brother opened his eyes my father knew something was wrong. There was no spark. No power leaking through his veins. At the time he just shook it off thinking Lukali would develop his powers as he grew older. It wasn't until Luke's 6th birthday, when it was made clear to my father.

Lukali was a human. A failure.

Enraged by this, he forced my mother into conceiving another child.

Me

Appearance wise I was different from my brother. My hair was ginger, and I possessed heterochromia which caused my eyes to be oddly coloured. Like my mother and brother my left eye was blue, while my right was cloudy like my father's. That immediately gave him hope that I wouldn't be a 'failed creation' like Lukali was.

At the age of 2 I gained the powers of a shadow mage. My father was overjoyed, but my mother had a hard time controlling me around the house since I zapped anything that moved. For some reason the only one I'd allow near me was Lukali, which is probably why we were so close growing up. My father trained me harshly to keep my power controlled, while also trying to prepare me for my demon powers to appear. He was convinced I was the heir he desired.

But

My 6th birthday came rolling by and…

Nothing.

No powers. Not a wing. Not a claw. Not a single horn.

Appalled by my so called 'failure’ my father cast my mother, Lukali and I aside. He left us once and for all, leaving mother to take care of her 12 year old son and 6 year old half-breed daughter, who still couldn't properly control her shadow mage magic.
