I got bored and I just wrote out the intro to my 5th manga The Bound Parchment (which is what I'm going to be re-making after The Bitter Find). I hope you enjoy, I apologize for any errors XD I'm not a very good writer...
Amongst the splashing and the laughing and the dilly-dallying of the young nymph children, there be Selkie, sitting alone, on top of a plump mushroom cap, facing the opposite direction if the others. Of course, she is doing what she loves most; Drawing. The sun awakes early in the dawn, she is drawing. The sun slumbers during the nightshade of the moon, she is drawing. Very good, indeed she is. This time, she is doodling a tiny mushroom, with a happy-go-lucky grin on its face.
A few minutes after her mushroom is almost complete, she leads her pencil to the body of the fungus to add the final touch, then someone snatches the thick paper right from her frail, green arms.
"Haha!!", a young boy laughed mockingly, "The baby's by herself again!"
"Leave me alone...", Selkie mumbled in a worried tone. This boy was not like her. Besides the fact of being rude and uncaring, unlike Selkie, he was a Boabhan Sith (pronounced Bow-von-Shee). Which is very unusual because he was a male. Boabhan Sith is a Gaelic term for "Bad Faerie".Boabhan Siths are only women vampires, and bare only female children.
The young boy continues to mock her.
"All you do is draw stupid pictures! No wonder you don't have any friends!"
Selkie begins to stutter and feel ashamed. "You know, j-just because you are bigger..a-and stronger that me doesn't mean you have to keep picking on me!" A line of sweat drew from her temple. Then, her long nymph ears began to twitch at the sight of the boy coming closer to her.
"Two things you just said are correct!", he yells smiling while walking slowly up to her. "I am bigger!", he snagged the pencil out of her hands.
"Heyyyy!!!", Selkie cried.
"And I am stronger!", he laughs as he snaps the pencil in two. Selkie's pointed ears began to drop down, facing the ground. She was upset greatly and she just sat there, feeling useless, as the boy started ripping the drawing of her mushroom.
"Hey you!!", a loud, strong shout came from across the mushroom patch. The Boabhan Sith boy turned to see who was there, while Selkie sat there, staring at the grass, with a tear in her eye. The one shouting, was also a nymph. A young nymph boy named Rale, who Selkie has heard much about.
Rale stood on top of a tall mushroom with his arms crossed, and he looked very intimidating with the small ray of light shining behind his green body and his patched up hat.
"She's only smaller than you because she's a nymph! A whole different species than what you are, idiot!" , Rale said while hopping down onto a smaller mushroom.
The Boabhan Sith boy had an annoyed look on his face.
"Does that matter?", he said as he scratched he abnormally large ears, for a Boabhan Sith.
Rale runs up closer to the boy. "Actually YES!! It does matter! You're taking advantage of her just because she is different, and we nymphs will not tolerate this anymore!" Selkie looks up at Rale with sparkles in her black eyes.
"Tss..How 'bout you and your big ears stop talking to me!", The boy said as he turned his head.
Selkie mumbles, "W-well....you're one to talk..."
"SHUT UP!!!!", he yelled as he turned to her. She flinched with the thought of him hitting her.
"You're just...you're just mad because...! uh....", the boy had trouble coming up with what to say next. Rale tilted his head with a smirk or his face, waiting for what the boy was going to say.
"W-who wants to talk to you nymphs anyway!", the boy shouted as he stammered and mumbled off.
Selkie watched him walk away just to make sure he was gone. Rale the came up to her with a smile.
"Hey, that was a nice comeback!"
"Heh....", Selkie looked away blushing.
Rale moved his foot on the ground and heard a slight crunch. It was the mushroom drawing that Selkie doodled. He picked it up and handed it to her. It was a tad bit crinkled and it had a tiny tear on the side.
"Here's your picture back.", he begins handing it to her.
"You can keep it..if you want", she said smiling. Rale jumped up with an extremely happy face.
"SERIOUSLY? Who wouldn't want this!?"
Selkie got up without Rale's knowing and started to walk off. "I've got to get back home..", she said in a somewhat upset voice.
"Uh..! Wait!", he said hesitantly, "My name is Rale. What's yours?"
The wind blew in a calming manner, twisting both Selkie's green hair and Rale's brown hair in the air. What they call Bubble Flowers are actually premature Dandelions, were surrounding the mushroom patch. Each seed dancing in the light.
Selkie turned her head back slowly with a smile, "My name...is Selkie", her body then vanished into the calming darkness of the trees.
Rale stared.
"Selkie..."
