The city’s fog hadn’t lifted when I stepped out of the shadows, my coat pulled tight against the biting chill. Greywatch was waking slowly, grimy streets filling with the usual parade of lost souls and schers. Sowhere in the distance, a bell tolled, deep and mournful, like a funeral for hope itself. Perfect. I liked mornings like this. The world still hadn’t figured out who was about to break its rules.
I didn’t rush toward the academy yet. No, first, I needed to check in on my little sanctuary—a cramped, forgotten townhouse nestled in one of Greywatch’s quieter alleys. It was the kind of place people passed by without a second glance, which was exactly what I wanted. My base of operations, where my...special collection waited.
The door creaked open before I could knock, revealing Roderick. Or rather, what Roderick had beco. I had sent him ahead to et the others, using my ti alone to indulge in a new flavor of whisky the city had been brewing for the past month or so.
Gone was the hulking brute I’d transford last night. In his place stood a slim, elegant figure with sharp cheekbones, short silver hair that caught the dim light, and deep red eyes that sparkled with sothing mischievous. He was dressed in a loose, silk shirt, sleeves rolled up to reveal slender wrists adorned with delicate chains—an ironic nod to his forr roughness.
"Cecil," he purred, a smile playing on his lips as he stepped aside. "Right on ti. We were just getting bored."
Behind him, the other femboys lounged lazily in the room’s scant light. Each had a story, a personality carefully preserved beneath layers of silk and charm.
There was Miko, the quiet one, his dark hair falling over his pale face like a curtain hiding secrets. His sharp green eyes studied cautiously from a tattered armchair.
Then Elian, the eternal flirt, draped across the couch with a devilish grin and chestnut curls that seed to have a life of their own. "Hey, boss," he drawled, "ready to make so magic?"
And finally, Jules—short, with wild blue hair and an infectious laugh that could fill the whole house. He was the wildcard, unpredictable but fiercely loyal.
I crossed the room slowly, letting the familiar sight of my ’collection’ settle in. These were not just trophies; they were my shield and my sword. I had only turned those who deserved it—those who spat on , shoved into the gutters, or looked at like I was nothing.
This wasn’t so weird hobby. It was justice with a twist—and damn, it was satisfying.
Roderick leaned against the wall, eyes narrowing. "You’re heading to the academy again, aren’t you?"
I nodded. "Need to keep the illusion alive. The Council’s eyes are sharper than ever. I have to be careful."
Elian chuckled, "More like you’re itching for another fight."
I smirked. "Maybe. But rember, I only make moves when provoked."
Miko’s voice was soft but firm. "And what if you’re provoked by the wrong person?"
"Then they’ll learn my definition of ’wrong,’" I said with a grin. "No one gets turned unless they deserve it. No random puppets in this ga."
Jules clapped his hands with a mischievous glint. "So the perfect little league of justice, huh? All femboy, all fabulous."
We spent the morning going over plans. Roderick, surprisingly strategic for his forr brute self, handled logistics. Elian kept spirits high with his endless teasing and distractions. Miko tracked information from the city’s underground networks, his quiet deanor hiding a razor-sharp mind. Jules, well, Jules was the muscle and the mischief-maker, always ready for a brawl or a prank.
I took notes, planning my next moves carefully. The academy wasn’t just a school; it was a battlefield disguised in silk and stone. If I wanted to build my nation of femboys, I needed allies—and the right targets, both of which the academy was brimming with.
Later, I found myself staring at the feathered pen, twirling it between my fingers. It wasn’t just a tool—it was a symbol of control, of transformation, of revenge. The mont the ink touched skin, everything changed. The broken beca beautiful. The cruel beca loyal. The indifferent beca devoted.
I rembered the first ti I used it—the rush, the delicious power of watching soone unravel, piece by piece, into sothing new. That feeling never got old.
And neither would the allure of the academy.
The day moved slow, but my mind raced. I wasn’t just playing for survival—I was building an empire. Every marked soul was a step closer to a new world.
Roderick caught my eye and raised an eyebrow. "Ready for tonight?"
I smiled thinly. "Always. But rember—only those who cross get the honor."
Elian winked. "And here I thought you just liked collecting pretty boys."
"Don’t flatter ," I said, tapping the pen. "This is war."
The quiet before the storm had settled—and soon, everything would change.
