The only thing you could hear were sirens. Louder blue, red and yellow tones could be seen. At that time, my hands were still full of blood. With your blood. It was peaceful at first, we laughed, talked like there was all the time in the world and the next moment you were dead. If I had paid more attention, you would certainly have been still alive or I would have been at the place now. Dead. I can still remember when you said to me,

"I'm glad you exist Saphir"

I just smiled,

"I'm also happy to be friends with you Scorpio"

You chicled. Your black hair with the red tips blew gently through the wind, your red eyes only shone with bliss and your smile shone like the moon on the horizon. You just looked at me and the next moment there were several shots. Screaming. The fear was written on your face. You just looked at me, muttering something. And the next moment you tilted backwards, blood coming out of the corner of your mouth. You landed in my arms and smiled loudly. You were shot, I desperately tried to stop the bleeding, instead of listening to you and then you closed your eyes and died. In my arms. I felt the warmth disappear in you. How you got colder and colder and then the sirens could be heard. In such a short time, our happiness turned in just a few seconds. Horrified, I looked at your corpse, at the person with whom I wrote letters for 2 years. Without knowing who you were in reality. A month ago we finally met, I wish we had seen each other earlier. Scorpio why? Why did it have to come this far? My heart broke into thousands of smaller pieces. There was blood on my hands, her blood. It was so much that I no longer had an overview. For me, the world broke. Only now I took the sirens was. Two paramedics came up to me. And they wanted to take you,

"NO! NOPE!! Burden us in peace!”

I didn't want to let you go at that time, I don't want to to this day. That was much too early. The paramedics were finally able to separate us...

“Hey, you must be Saphirriver. Isn't it?”,

I just nodded and didn't even look up.

"My condolences, you two were close, didn't you?"

The person asked again.

"That's what we did. Yes..",

I just muttered. I continued to look down and was shocked. Anger, revenge, fear and despair overtunned me.

"Why did it have to come to this? I wish I could see her again...”

"I can understand you well, promise me one thing, if you see her again to protect her until the end of your life"

"I would promise him if she was alive.."

"Well, that's how it should be,"

I had only been staring at the floor the whole conversation, this was a damn big mistake. Unfortunately, I still don't know who I talked to at the time... Because the person left before I looked up. On that day there were fourteen deaths, eight seriously injured and one who got away with it safely. And that one person was me. I Saphirriver, 23, was 17 at the time when this happened, because her death was already six years ago and I still feel the cold till this day.

I remember putting the box with the old newspapers in the closet when the doorbell rang.

"One moment, please,"

I got up, went to the counter and there he stood. The postman. His uniform was white with golden patterns, his eyes were connected with a white-golden cloth, the pattern of one eye could be seen. He had gray skin and violet hair, he also had horns and his ears were pointed back. A firmament eleven. He was young I would have taken him for 140 (in retrospect I was allowed to find out that he is 298...),

“Good morning. I'm looking for a gentleman with the first name Saphirriver?”

"That would be me. Why?”

The postman took a letter and presented it to me.

"I don't know what they messed up to, but they take care of themselves,"

And with these words the postman broke up. Before I realised it, I had to realise why. The letter came from the 3. Plain. Also known as: Tenebrae or (like humans (resp. Homo sapiens) from the 2. Level "Vida" say) the hell. I live on the 1st floor. Plain, "Eileen" or "the sky". I remember how much I had to pull myself together not to laugh, because the letter was very lively.

The first question I asked myself was this: Who writes a letter from Tenebrae to Eileen, writes his name and age and then also without address???? The second question was: What person doesn't even know his own gender?! The answer to that is certainly quite simple, the person is simply chaotic. Or the person is just trying to manipulate me to get to Eileen in the end. We are strictly forbidden to visit the respective floors (\= level) (except in special cases, then this is allowed).

"Saphiiiir!!! Hey! I have a new order,"

A young man at the age of 22 came up to me. He was simple, tall and his face looked sweaty. His dark blue hair was glued to his forehead and the blue eyes sparkled with pride.

"I'm happy for you Isec"

"And you also have a new assignment"

"Show me!",

I had started stacking a book stack an hour ago, full of excitement I didn't take care and the book pile fell.

"Strap"

"You must have worked on it for a long time, haven't you?"

"Yes, more or less, but it doesn't matter, so"

I looked at Isec expectantly. Isec is my half-brother and yet we got along splendidly, like complete brothers. We had both taken over the book & stationery store from our father when he got an offer for a portal watch. Every now and then we got assignments that we had to do either in schools, in libraries or on expeditions. But this time it was different. When Isec handed me the wrapped parchment, my heart remained still for a brief moment. On the letter seal you could see a silver moon on it. Luna's coat of arms, something happened.

"Hey Saphir, how are you?"

Isec looked at me worriedly.

"Yes, everything is fine"

Before I know it, the letter disappeared. Once sight, was clear, //Typical Luna//.

Yes ok it sounds very strange at the beginning, no one can manipulate someone just with a letter. Well, you were very wrong, I was allowed to get to know this the hard way when I was 10 years old. As I said, magic is not to be played with, not even with people from Tenebrae. They are known for their meanness, as well as for the well-known Kibō family. The only thing I know about it is that they officially have 7 children. Of which 5 daughters and 2 sons. Whose chief Lucifer is highly personal and his wife Ruh, who comes from Eileen. How that happened, no one really knows. Will I know when I'm older? Who knows. So I packed the letter back in the envelope, went to the counter, opened a small locked drawer at the bottom right and put the letter from the "Scorpio", then closed it again.

"Saphire flow what are you hiding there??",

My little half-brother looked at me. He and I had just an age difference of 7 moons. Most people ask themselves why, I have a very simple answer. My father had something with two women, that's how I and Isec were born. My biological mother left me and my half-brother Isec, my stepmother and father were left. Isec and I was almost mistaken for twins if I hadn't been a dragon child and my brother was a water elf.

“I'm not hiding anything”

"So sure???"

"Yes, sure. Did something happen or why are you here?"

"Father sent us a letter,"

Isec then presented me with a blood-smeared (further) letter.

"The letter is open"

"I know, I wanted to know what dad has to say to you,"

Isec grinned widely and disappeared as quickly as he came.

"ISEC!!",

//Typical, always stick his nose somewhere// If I had known at the time that Isec had played a trick on me, the bookstore would not be full of glitter. The so-called glitter letter bomb. A classic as you know it in Eileen and Tenebrae, I didn't like this prank. Father has been on an exam for a good four months, as a portal guard, as the name suggests, you are trained as a guard for a portal. These fit into the portal between Eileen and Tenebraerae. For the portal to Vida there are

No guards

No exact location

No portal

They say it was before approx. 4000-5000 years ago and have never been sighted since. Strangely enough, we continued to learn this in school. A bit strange, but quite normal. Well, unfortunately I can only remember a little when it comes to Vida. The only thing I remember very well is that they spend half their lives in a school, sad. You have to imagine that we have a maximum of 8 years of school, of which 5 years of writing, reading and learning magic. The remaining 3 years consist of exams and that's it.

It was raining cats and dogs. It's too dangerous to fly for that. The forest floor is sticky and you slip easily if you are not careful. More and more luminous mushrooms in all colours grew on the trees. And the plants became darker and darker the closer I got to the portal of Tenebrae. A portal guard stood there.

"Stoll! Put off your hoods"

"If they want,"

I took off the hood of my coat and looked the guard directly in the eyes. His mask reflected the sapphire blue hair and the ocean blue eyes. A few scales gathered around the face, through the light they shimmered very slightly. Two black horns grew on the head.

"So a dragon child would explain a lot"

"What do you think if I may ask?"

"Since they wear a coat of leather and velvet"

"That says nothing,"

I spoke cooly. I put the hood back on.

"So, may I please go through? I have an urgent order and would have to go to Tenebrae”

"No, people like you are not allowed here"
