The misfits(a intro to a potential book)

How it all began

In a world where people are born druids, soccer’s or with traits from demons, fallen angels or an angel it´s hard to think anyone would feel out of place. That`s where a lot of people are wrong, although it wasn`t uncommon for people like this to be born a lot of people where still born normal. And those born with traits from demons or fallen angels where shut out from society and given the same rights as criminals because people thought, they were evil and dangerous and most of them were. Soccer`s and druids who wanted to live like normal people were disowned by their own kind and deemed criminals by normal people and angelic begins. A lot of these people then turned to crime to survive and thus became what people taught they were.

Up in the mountains not far from Moonlight village, surrounded by tall mountain peeks, you would find a lake and by that lake a forest, but what was really special about this place where four large oak trees. The trees stood so that if you drew lines between them you would get a square, in the middle of the square there where a campfire and surrounding the campfire was sitting places, a huge tree stump with an axe in it, buckets made of metal and tools. Between the trees there where stretched rope, and clothes where hanging on the rope. There was also a small outhouse between two of the trees. But all of this was hidden from the nearby villagers because of the large mountain peeks. And this suited the residents of this odd place perfectly since they were four fifteen-year-old kids who fell into the category of criminals in this world.

In the large tree to the north Midnight lived, Midnight was almost a fully-fledged demon except the fact she lacked the power (and hunger) for eating souls. She was about average height with pitch black hair that reached down to her waist, from her head sprouted two black horns that went about ten centimeters above her head, she also had quite pale skin even though she spent most of the time outside and her eyes where glowing red. But still her most striking feature was a pair of large black wings the size of the once of a sea eagles that protruded from her back. To enter the trees, you would have to pull a specific branch not far from where the opening would appear, I can’t tell you exactly what branch because it wearies from tree to tree. The inside of Midnight`s tree was quite simple, vines grew on the walls, the floor was made of hard wood and a small ladder went up to a bed under the roof. The bed was made from a piece of wood that had been hollowed out and filled with moss and hung from the ceiling. Other than that, the room contained very little, a black woolen hooded cloak hung on a metal hook on the wall, a pair of dark brown leather hunting boots stood by the exit, under the bed a bow and a sheath of arrow leaned on a drawer, and the drawer contained a small collection of clothes. The only personal thing she owned was a small head piece, the piece was made of silver and when worn it had a circle of silver chains going around the head and one over the top and they met in the middle of her forehead. Where the chains met a small dark crystal was held in place by a ring of silver. This headpiece was the only thing she had left form her mother, her mother had taught Midnight how to use her powers by using the head piece before she was killed, and Midnight had to run away into the forest.  This was all Midnight owned, it wasn’t much but it was home.

The tree to the east was occupied by Hawthorne. Hawthorne was a fallen angel, this had caused him, like Midnight, to grow a pair of wings the size of sea eagle wings. But Hawthorne´s wings where white like snow, with lines that made it look like they had been pieced together by broken pieces of china and held together by glue as dark as the night shy. If you removed his wings Hawthorne looked a normal boy with slightly brown skin, a little taller than average, blue eyes and short ash brown hair. Hawthorne`s tree had vines growing on the walls, some places the vines grew flowers, the flowers looked like white roses that had been burned. This unusual flower is known as the fallen rose and grows only in the presence of a fallen angel. The rest of the tree was pretty neutral, a bed like Midnight`s hung from the roof, two spears leaned against the wall, a brown leather hunting jacket hung on a hook, a pair of leather hunting boots and a leather belt with a pouch lay on top of a drawer, the drawer contained the remainder of Hawthorne`s clothes. The only personal thing he owned was a small book covered in leather and kept closed by a clasp made of pure gold. The book was a gift he had been given by his parents before the angels had found the family and killed his parents. The reason for his parent’s execution was that his mother was an angel and his dad a half-demon, it`s illegal for angels to have kids with demons of any sort because this is the only way fallen angels are born. Hawthorne`s parents had given him the book and told him to run only moments before they were killed, in his dreams Hawthorne still relives the moment he heard his parents scream as the angels killed them, while he could do nothing but continue to run towards the woods. While running in the forest he met Midnight and they decided to continue together. The book was filled with info on how to make different types of spears and other weapons. Even though he didn’t have much Hawthorne was happy with his new home and family.

The south tree was the home of a druid named Sianne. She had green hair that looked like it was made form vines (which it was not), green eyes that reflect her mood by turning darker the angrier she was and lighter the happier. Other than that, she was about average height and had lightly brownish skin. Sianne had expressed interest in living like normal humans and therefore been shut out by all the other druids and had moved into the village, at first it went well she helped people who had problems with their gardens but when the people of the village saw her preform druid magic on a dying bush they called on the angels and she was forced to run for her life. From that time on she was on the run from the law because she was a druid. She met a soccer who was on the run as well, his name was Michel and they continued together. Eventually they bumped into Midnight and Hawthorne when they were running form a group called the dark nights. At first, they were skeptical about teaming up with a fallen angel and a demon, but after Midnight saved Sianne from one of the demons from the dark nights they became friends. And continued uphill until they found this place and settled down since the knights had given up on following them. Sianne made the four trees grow this big (and be hollow inside) with her magic and Michel enchanted them to open when a specific branch was pulled. Midnight being quite good with wood made the beds and interior and Hawthorne made everything that was made out of metal using the book from his mother. The largest problem with the trees was how to get fresh air in, Sianne fixed this by making the vines inside since they make use of the air inside for growing and gave fresh air back into the room. The inside of Sianne`s tree was decorated entirely with natural things the vines on the walls bended out to make a bed for her on the floor, a basket made from the same vines contained her clothes, a hooded cloak made from the fur of a black bear hung from a hook the vines formed, a pair of boots made of leather was placed by the exit, and a necklace made from rope with a golden rose lay on top of the basket. The necklace was a gift from her parents, and the only thing she had left of her life with the druids other than the cloak.

In the last three lived Michel, he was a soccer of incredible skill. He had dark brown hair and a tall slim build. His eyes where like fire trapped inside marbles, the sign of a fire-based soccer. His three was like the Sianne´s, on a hook on the wall a woolen cloak hung beside a pair of boots. The remainder of his clothes lay in wooden chest, a book of incantations lay on top of the drawer, and a bed was standing on the floor in a corner.
