Growing up with strict parents can be a challenging experience, especially if you have a passion for something they don't quite understand. For me, that passion was music and, more specifically, the art of creating unique beats and mixes as a DJ. However, my parents were not very supportive of my dreams, making it difficult for me to pursue my passion. Despite their lack of enthusiasm, I was determined to follow my dream and spent countless hours working on my skills and establishing myself as a DJ. It was a long and challenging journey, but my unwavering love for music kept me motivated and focused. Although my parents were generally supportive, they had high expectations for me and wanted me to achieve great things. Therefore, it surprised them when I revealed my ambitions of pursuing a music career. My passion was not for singing, dancing, or addressing people in a personal capacity; it lay in creating new music by blending popular songs that everyone already knew. I wanted to be a DJ, which I set out to do. I also had a strong desire to create and produce my music. I devoted a lot of time to practicing and performing my original tracks at parties and events, further developing my talent for identifying the right musical combinations to keep the audience engaged. It wasn't until I finished high school that I got my big break. I was invited to DJ for a week-long event in Los Angeles, a significant milestone for me as a budding DJ. This was a rare opportunity to showcase my skills to a bigger audience and make a name for myself. I met an individual who discovered my music online and liked it. As a result, I saved up some money and, with my parents' blessing in the form of backup funds, flew out to attend the party. Although my parents had no confidence in my ability to make a career out of it, I was determined to give it a shot and put everything I had into the performance. During the event, I went above and beyond to deliver an outstanding performance, pouring every ounce of energy into it. However, when the week ended, the organizers paid me what they deemed fair and claimed that the exposure they had given me was sufficient compensation. Despite feeling somewhat disappointed, I remained optimistic about the future. With my money, I found a place to stay and a job DJing at a local club that offered me enough to get by while I was in town. Although it was not where I wanted to be, it was honest work, and I was grateful for the opportunity. All I had to do was find my sound, perfect my craft, and climb back up that ladder that my dreams had fallen off. Elzie's life has been a rollercoaster of emotions, driven by the foundation of deceit established by her parents. She has always believed that her mother and father were loving guardians, but in reality, they are nothing more than money-hungry con artists. The people she works for are her blood relatives - a fact that has been kept hidden from her. Her father is a deity, and her mother is a warrior princess, yet they left their child in the hands of these impostors under the guise of protection from an unknown threat. Elzie now finds herself caught in a web of lies and must navigate the treacherous waters of her true identity. She is constantly struggling to reconcile the life she thought she had with the reality of her situation. The people she thought were her parents were only using her for their selfish gain, and the people she works for are her actual family, who have been watching her from afar. Elzie must keep a safe distance from the looming danger threatening her family as she tries to uncover the truth about her past. She is in a constant state of fear, knowing that her true identity could be revealed at any moment. Despite the danger, she is determined to find the truth about her past, even if it means risking everything she has ever known. As she treads cautiously through the intricate web of deceit, she cannot help but notice the one constant amidst the chaos- her growing affection for Liam Kemono. He is a man of many layers, shrouded in an enigmatic veil that only adds to his allure. His guarded exterior belies the weight of his inner struggles and secrets, which she senses without him ever having to utter a word. She is captivated by the complexity of his character and drawn to his magnetic personality despite the odds stacked against them.
I was surprised by the kindness shown to me at the 'Heavenly Moon,' run by Ephani, a warrior huntress who had turned into a club owner. She treated me almost like a mother, caring for my needs and visiting me regularly until I could care for myself. We developed a friendly co-worker bond, and I could confide in her about anything. Once, when I was feeling deficient, she supported me by arranging a visit from my parents and giving me a week off. Although my parents questioned why I hadn't come home earlier, I had felt too ashamed. Ephani provided for me in a way that allowed me to avoid my parents' "I told you so" looks. I enjoy working alongside a fantastic group of people who make up the 'Heavenly Moon' team. Despite my young age, I am fortunate to have such a supportive team, although I feel I am not always taken seriously. Perhaps my boss's behavior towards me is partly to blame. Let me introduce you to some of my co-workers. Gyo, our warlock bartender, is meticulous in his craft and creates the perfect blend of flavors for our customers. Heather and Tabitha are our event coordinators and assistant managers, ensuring that every event runs smoothly and that our guests are well cared for. Carlness, Heather's husband, is responsible for managing our stock and inventory, and he works alongside Chaotic, a retired hunter who serves as his assistant. Myako and Lyrica, the exquisite twins, showcase their dancing abilities and efficiently take orders from the patrons. Though they don't speak much English, their charm and grace make them the stars of our dance floor. Kenshi, the co-owner, and his wife, Ephani, are the heart and soul of the establishment. Their relationship reminds me of my parents, and I find solace in that. Our team has grown into a close-knit family, although, like any family, we can have our disagreements. I don't know the complete history of the place, but I have heard rumors of past issues, so I remain vigilant and keep my guard up.
