Prologue
The soft crepuscular light from the sun embraced the earth... illuminating a huge landscape of an almighty city that towered among the high mounts. Beautiful and Ancient.
The heart of this world obtained its colours through many events, more bad, and less good ones. There were myths that better remain buried, forever hidden from human interference. But the balance between the darkness and light shaped two pieces of a puzzle... none of the each could live without the other. Or...so they say.
As the shadows slowly consumed the land, the sky slowly drilled into dusk, leaving faint queer of mist trailing behind. Although, apart from everything, the wind remained equivalent, balanced and harmonically.
A green leaf fell ceremonially from a tree, following the breeze, its destiny set through the hamlet.
Murmurs and yells between merchants, citizens and shrieking's of joy from children on the streets, gently drifted of the air. The petal was still floating piecefully above their heads.
Watching...waiting... floating silently...
As hours flew by... the bright side of Twilight Town existed in its own time. The other dark side... in the void. The green object flied to another set of haven, towards an eerie and deep forest... leaving the gloaming landscape behind.
Crossing the invisible barrier between the two continents, it continually danced with the wind, warily whirling between the giant trees that belonged to the woodland. Bloodcurling tension and endless void grew thicker, as the unknown feeling set in for the leery leaf. It was death silent...
No sounds of life... no birds...nothing. Only trees...and grousing wind...
Small steams of fog closed all areas of escape for the harmless trespasser, forming a blind trail. Nevertheless, it floated endlessly along the pathway the smog had formed. Leading it deeper. Forever trapped in the mist...
From long afar, in the depths of shadows, the moon lightly illuminated a dark silhouette with red hair and emerald eyes. He was sitting on pile of torn, blood-soaked clothes. The hill contained furthermore of dead naked bodies, skeletons and rotten hearts. All caused by the forest itself.
"It is happening again, wonder who it is going to be this time..." said the figure, mouth forming a mischievous smirk, a dark chuckle leaving his lips.
Chapter 1 - The Deep Forest
Beautiful eyes slowly fluttering open, they revealed tired gorgeous cerulean orbs. Instead of waking up in his comfortable mattress back home- he was laying on the ground in his tiny sleeping kit, in the middle of a dark forest- a camping fire right beside keeping his body warm.
The night had been dreadfully awful for the angelic blond boy, hardly given Roxas the rest he needed due to all the terrifying noises the trees made during midnight. He was scared, even when the bonfire protected him from any animals.
He had right to be... because regular fire couldn't stop spirits from watching the boy in the shadows... silently admiring his elegant form.
Grunting, Roxas rubbed his eyelids... trying to clear his vision and ran fingers through his side-spiked hair silky golden hair, yawning cutely. It was his second night in The Deep Forest... another day of aimlessly walking. He was clueless about the haunted region.
It did not only contain a lifeless Cimarron... but also mountains... lakes and rivers. Jungle and tundra, and a large winter covered lush tree forest. Surely if he walked long enough- he could reach another set of land.
The next place; Spring Fall Paradise- had drinkable and clear water for the boy. He really needed to clean himself off with it. Gathering woods for the fire and tripping during his voyage made his body covered in some dirt, him frowning every time he accidently rubbed the grime underneath his soft arms. Being the angsty teenager he was, he really hated it.
Roxas stood up and adjusted his grey v- neck shirt and long tight pants, packing up his sleeping kit- meanwhile worrying how he could find anymore water here. Dying of dehydration was his least expected wish, not when his sick older brother was waiting along with Tifa back home.
Groggily he put out the tiny campfire with his water, feeling the cold air when the flames decived, leaving fuming smoke. Chilling wind caressed his porcelain skin while he gathered everything up in the canvas bag. Muscles protesting he continued on his journey for The Meddy Flower. Destiny set to an unknown location.
Most of the black trees were tighly planted - their rotten tree trunks touching ever so slightly between them.
He was wasting his time searching through the dead wilds... but he marched forwards anyways...
Unawared of all the evil phantoms, lurking in the mist behind his retreating figure...
Third POV
Three days before
Twilight Tavern was full of retiring people. The bonfires in the middle were surrounded by drinking men. There were clinging on each other's necks and sang together in queers. Candles lit up the big place, heavy scent of mead and ale filling the air. Folks were enjoying their meals, howling with laughter, telling rumors and gossips.
Soft instrumental music played in the backround.
Roxas gracefully balanced the bottles in his hands, humming a sad lullaby each table he served and picked up orders along the way back to the kitchen. There were a lot of customers this evening, making the angelic boy work hard.
Smiling, he placed alcohol for 5 guests, wishing them a joyful night. As he was marching back to the bar, a certain group caught his attention. Far away, a crowd of mysterious men dressed in black were murmuring drunkenly about something. They were deeply in their chat, not noticing a kid with visible blond hair behind a tipsy blond haired guy. The thief was wearing a leather hood, his palm carefully grabbing the coin purse inside the man´s coat.
`Wait...Is that Hayner? What is he doing?!... Stealing again of course...`
Frowning, Roxas quickly paced to the mead storage, picking out the type he saw the black men were drinking, hoping they wouldn't mind him interrupting a bit...
Returning with hands full, Hayner was nowhere in sight. `Sneaky bastard´.
The men still sat there at the counter, discussing something urgent, judging by their upright positions. Taking a deep breath, Roxas advanced nervously towards them.
"So, it´s true The Mendy Flower really exist? The one which could heal every deceases?" spoke the blond guy.
`Interesting... they were ranting about a legendary tale´
"Yes... Troy. I have read all about it in the ancient histories. You should pay more attention to the news instead of playing flute and splashing water every day" replied the grey-haired man.
"Aww, that´s not true. Come on what wrong with that Ennis? " he complained. Muttering, the blond took his last sip of his mead, burping loudly. The rest of the group continued with the story. Drunkely... Troy searched for someone who could refill his bottle, swaying lightly as he was doing it. Roxas happened to be in front of him.
"Wow…so cute, Uhh!...I mean, more mead here please" he blushed. The Inn boy only smiled and walked over... taking his time pouring the yellow alcohol in each jars. Meanwhile, Ennis explained furthermore about the forest for his friends, ignoring anyone who might listen. We could say Roxas learned a lot that night.
"So! As I was saying, yes... The Meddy flower is real. According to the legends this herb is shaped as a perfect red flaming Lily, snow white diamond anthers and two yellow pistils connected as one. Mages say it blooms in The Deep Forest... waiting for any who might find it to bring it out..."
And so everything was told during the conversation.
Roxas´s life turned upside down. Leading him there he was now. In Oblivion Haven...
Axel´s POV
It´s been years since travellers were raped and slaughtered by the spirits of The Dead Forest.
Being one of the most powerful demon here... I found this almost frustrating. I understood though why the humans would stop visit this dreadful place- after hearing rumors and recieving bad news about the spirits lurking here, I couldn´t blame their anxiousness. This Forest was a little dangerous, saving for us guardians of course.
Few mortal mages who managed to escape from the mist, wrote books, shared, exaggerated them through the whole process to a Legend. Some authors even put in false fantasies to add more excitement- which I found irritating.
Most arch mages, necromancers and other Towns now believed this place was an endless deep dark forest. Little did they know... this misty land wasn´t the onliest thing this Cimarron had. It was just a little fragment of something much larger. Beautiful... and magical.
Think yourself of an ugly shell. The only thing you can see is the outer part, but when you look inside it... you see a hidden beautiful ocean lying within.
Ceasless and mysterious, horrendous yet magnificent. Imagine this way; you break through the master illusion-to a world called: Oblivion Haven.
The Deep Forest was one of the least dangerous province in Oblivion Haven. It was peaceful yet spooky. Although the phantoms roaming here were heartless and high ranked. It wasn't the most secured place may I say. Though the demons here were still mush weaker than my kind.
Traveling back and forth between the colossal landscape made me dull, beyond bored. The only thing keeping me here in this tedious woodland was due to my desperation to retire from my actual life mission for once. My real duty was to protect The Meddy Flower. To be honest, I didn´t really see the point of keeping the blossom safe.
And why only me? There were other powerful spirits who could replace my position. The Graceful Assassin -Marluxia for an example. He or she-I am not sure- seemed more qualified for this kind of work. He/she was born a Florian boy along with his pink scythes after all. Every guardian had their own special powers and ammunitions.
Mine was fire, and red metal chakrams- Nickname; Fury of dancing flames. Impressive huh? It indeed fit my personality perfectly.
Ironically enough, Marluxia was guarding The Inferno Rivers in the Volcano Mounts. You see what I am getting at? I mean...he had pink hair for Kingdom Hearts sake. Don´t think wrong of me! I am very aware of its colour´s - it was the symbol of Death. In another world that is.
Yet still...I am supposed to be there. Not here. It´s ridiculous really.
On the other hand- all the free time made it fair enough. Protecting The Inferno Rivers from heartless was a difficult and a stressful job-and being the laziest demon apon this haven... it wasn´t hard to accept this. But... picturing me bathing in lava and smoke flames all day- Ooh yes... paradise.
I was sitting- leaning on my forearms- on a hill of rotten torn bodies...old clothes and hearts, darkness surrounding me. This is how the The Deep Forest played... it would let the spirits do whatever they wanted with the preys... then leave the gore part to the branches.
I was the one cleaning up all the mess afterwards... out of boredom. Gathering it in a giant pile. Easy enough. I wasn´t any good with those stuff.
I have grown sexually infuriated the last few days now... but what was I capable of doing anyways? Oblivion Haven chose their prisoners. Any special souls had their paths set by this world. Whatever road they chose defined their destiny...and along the way confront consciences. If they unprevailed... the nature would erase them.
But… if the spirits destroyed their sanity by abusive actions- their voyage would be short cut, which happened quite often here in The Deep Forest.
I loved sitting back though. Witness every time the lower demons devoured each innocent mortals... peeled off their clothes, destroyed them, leaving them naked in the air, nibbling their fleshes and drank their luscious blood. Thinking back at the sceneries, I felt flattered.
My mind started to feel bored again after a while. The foul smell of the hill invading my nerves. Maybe I should return back in a few days...
...
I don´t remember my past life...sadly enough.
All of it was just a blur. But something inside tells me to cooperate with destiny... search my inmost hidden memories.
But I fail every try.
However now... I sensed an unknown feeling crawling up to my chest.
Oh...what is this?
A leaf blew by- signalising The Deep Forest had chosen a new pitiful human.
"Wonder who it is going to be this time" I chuckled to myself.
Finally... I could enjoy a free show real soon.
Real soon...

One week later
Watching those gorgeous eyes waking up made me want to hold his face close... never letting my gaze go off those angelic orbs. His whole frame was so beautiful. Like an angel. His skin was flawless, hairless... so smooth, porcelain... delicate and creamy soft. He had perfect arms and sexy legs, arousing tight shaped backside and soft side-spiked blond hair.
Those heaven curved features, pink pouty libs and nose... fascinated me to no end. I just wanted to kiss him so badly...be forever by my side...protect him.
How could this human boy be so marvelous?
He couldn't be one. No... I could smell his irresistible and succulent mortal blood.
The boy had been here for two days now...and I admit...I stalked him every second. Unable to tear my mind of that small... adorable form... I found myself figure back to what this could lead.
Any demons and spirits would love to taste this piece of sweetness...including Oblivion Haven itself. I can imagine those craving creatures practically jumping on him... making hi-
I blinked. Frowning darkly.
Hell... I didn´t like that view one bit. I literally hated it... to my surprise.
Usually, I enjoyed seeing these mortal creatures suffer. It was different this time...
Thinking of disgusting demons having their ways with this boy made me fume with flames... angry and drown with possessiveness and jealousy.
This didn´t make any sense to me.
How could I feel anything towards someone I have been watching for only two days?
I don´t know...maybe because of my frustration? No...it could not be. If it was, I wouldn't have felt those feelings earlier.
Not in my immortal life would I let them touch the blue eyed blond. I tried to calm myself down...by thinking of something else...something more cheering.
I felt my upper lips transform to a Cheshire cat grin...my eyes narrowing seductively.
We can say I had `inappropriate´ thoughts about the human and me. Pleasurable in fact...

The scene showed me, lifting up the human´s limbs...draping them over my broad shoulders...gripping his midsection very tightly in my large hands...bringing his bare under-legs flush against my firm chest...then thrust deeply and fast to the velvet heat. In and out, In and out, In and out... without stopping...without mercy...each poundings getting wilder and kinkier... his virgin walls clenching around my pulsing cock.
"Ahhhhn! *thrusts* ah ah ah ah ahh! *rams* Nghng! N-noo! haaaah! S-stoop! Nggnngh *thrusts* Ah!"
The blond moan repeatingly. The volume reaching a higher volume when I struck his prostate dead on every time, his little back arching due to my powerful slamming. Blue eyes clouded in heavy pleasure... those sinful bruised lips panting.
"Aaaaahhnn... *pounding faster* ahhhh! ahh! "licking inner thigh* Mnngghhh.. ah..so good!...*pounding deeper* A-aHH! AhhhN! Ahhh!" then he would scream... tasty cum splattering over his beautiful face.

Mmmh...
I hummed... licking my smirking lips.
My pants were very uncomfortably tight, forming a huge and hard erection. Damn. I blinked- staring at the bulge.
This blondie drove me crazy. It felt like I have done this before. In a dream... or somewhere else, beyond this world. Perhaps in the past...
It confused me to no end.
I found this truly remarkable too. Ever since I became or born as the demon I am now... I have never felt this way.
This particular one made me experience real lust- without doing anything. It wasn´t just infatuation...but also...affection?
I smiled softly at that word. It was a long time ago I used it... I began to fall for this boy. His face... his orbs, his personality... absolutely everything.
A dangerous growl ripped up my throat... pupils narrowing to slits.
Three demons were admiring the human- hidden in the shadows...but oh, I could see those fuckers.
Judging by their intense gazes, I knew they wanted the blond too. No way shitheads...He is mine.
To my horror...they approached behind and then chased after... attempting to take him, just like they did with all the previous ones. I won´t let them do it this time.
I summoned my chakrams...flames circling around the edges. Denying my boner for now- I was ready to tear their carcasses apart.
You are playing with fire infants...
Roxas POV
My black shoes scraped against the hard earth, breaking the uncomfortable silence around me. This haunted forest was awfully quiet compared to the one back home, making me feel like I was being watched. Not enough, I felt like someone, or somethings were behind. I didn´t like it one bit.
It was bright enough to see everything... but the mist prevented some of the light to reach the ground properly through the trees. Gripping my supply bag tighter, I continually strolled forward, being extra careful not to trip over. I kept a frown on my face, watching the intimidating woods nervously. The thick tension was too mush to bear as I walked.
All my eyes could perceive were dead plants, spooky lush trees and cloggy mist beneath the branches. It was lifeless, horrifying, endless. So Silent.
Two days has it been since I last saw the sun. Having lived beneath light all my life, and unable to feel the warm energy, made me angsty all over again. Sighting, I thought back to Cloud, my older brother. He was deadly sick before I went snuck out on this flower hunting quest. Leaving him in Tifa´s was a great idea though, considering he was close to the black-haired woman. I really liked Tifa. She was always so kind to us... helping. Though she can be scary when she gets mad. I miss them terribly.
I just walked...till I felt eyes bore on the back of my head.
A stick broke behind me- making me stop in mid step with fear. My eyes widen when there was another crack, a little closer this time.
I was paralyzed on the place. Too scared to walk further- fear ripping up and down my spine. My hysterical mind increased... feeling little regression, gulping- I hastily shook my head at that. The whole purpose was to find this Lily... for Cloud- I reminded myself. You don´t want to loose him.
The people back at Twilight Tavern had warned about the demons and spirits lurking here. Now here I was. I just unexpected the spectral beings would reveal themselves to a human like me. I was completely certain I didn´t disturb anything here. Seems like...the brain proved wrong.
My body couldn't move an inch... I was glued to the ground, too terrified. Calming down my nerves a little... I turned my head back hesitantly.
What I saw made my throat go completely dry... breath stuck in my lungs.
Fate really must hate me...
There... stood three men shrouded by cloaks of shadows.
Their bloodshot animalistic eyes pierced through my soul, narrowing on my body, licking their lips slowly. All looked at me with orbs showing cannibalistic urges... causing me to whimper, taking swift steps back... I felt like prey. With dismay I saw one of them had a crooked neck, broken mouth... red liquid leaking out its gaping hole, and a grin plastered. The air shrieked wildly... growing tenser each second between the demons and me.
They advanced forward, darkness whirling around each strides, smirking darkly every crumbling footsteps. I refused to relent, though I felt weak and dominated by those intimidating eyes. Time ticking away, there were 10 seconds of silence.
Then the chase began.
Finally released from my illuminative restrains, adrenaline kicked in. I bolted up and ran the opposite way as fast as I could manage...the monsters scurrying hot on my heals.
I ran faster.
I didn't care were I ended up... and how mush my fatigue could handle. Knowing I soon would regret it- I ignored my body´s howls. My mind only wanted to be far away as possible from the beasts.
With lungs burning... I sprinted through the forest. Repeatingly glancing left and right I tried to find a way out, which was ridiculous. There were a sea of lifeless trees. Even if I hid... the phantoms would easily track me down. That sounded logical to me-considering they had supernatural abilities. I caught a glimpse of something vibrant red behind the black branches as I quickened my pace. I kept going... running for like decades...
Breathing rapidly for air, my bones and muscles were aching badly. Black spots were forming in front of my vision... my feet began to loose their balance. No, not now! They are still after me!
Hell sent, I saw a huge lake 200 meters up ahead. By the shapes and looks of it... it was deep. There were no bridges- or anything that could help me cross over to the other side fast enough. Let alone it was broad, and I hardly knew how to swim. My surroundings didn´t help mush either. All the trees were too tightly connected, forming a straight line towards my doom.
No...
A dead end...
Reaching the dark lagoon, I stumbled but caught myself quickly. I gasped and panted heavily on my trembling knees. Bringing my right hand I grasped my abused poor heart...feeling the thunder beats.
Sensing the blood pumping rapidly in my ears... I felt like fainting. I just wanted to bury myself in a grave, escaping all the worries. From them.
Looking back I saw the ghosts closing their distance yet again. I tried to fight off the hazy vision... squinting my straining pupils. I could tell their faces showed hints of hunger, aggressiveness and unreadable pleasure... overly happy they had me.
Swaying on the place, my legs stepped backwards, breath quickening as they followed. Not realising... my heel slipped. Shit!
I yelped and felt my body fall back clashing in freezing wetness...it was cold. Shocked... I inhaled large amount water and failed to suck in air- forming bubbles all-round my head. I screamed. Flailing my arms wildly... I tried to swim upwards- but it was useless. Loosing my breath... I began to sink. Drilling deeper... floating silently... nothing. No attacks...no sounds.
Only my heartbeat. Nimb.
Inwardly crying... I was sad to reflect back on my last moments with Cloud and Tifa.

Flashback
Two days before
"Roxas, it´s dangerous! You are no magican, nor strong enough to defend yourself in those woods. Yet you still want to go?! I won´t let you!" my older brother yelled.
I was cleaning up the wounds while he sat on his bed. We have been arguing about this the whole day since I mentioned about The Deep Forest. Tifa was standing in the far corner, listening to our conversation with a worried expression.
"Cloud, your body has never returned back to normal, no matter how many times Tifa tries to heal you. This is our only chance! This Flower really exists.
Besides- I can take care of myself, I am not a baby anymore! The town folks told me about that place being safe- if I don´t harm anything in there. Th-this will work Cloud...please... I-I don´t want to loose you..." a tear slid down my cheek as a tiny sob broke out.
My brother´s health had worsen every day. Tifa told a week before that Cloud wouldn't be able to make it till next month. I was devastated after the news.
All the money I had saved for three months now were for his medicines... but anything we bought... turned out to be useless in the end. I loved my brother to the bottom of my life. This Legendary Herb was my hope to keep him alive.
Cloud hugged me all of the sudden, squeezing me tight as he stroked my blonde hair, sighing apprehensively.
"Roxas...don´t be sad. I know you really want to do this, but you don´t know anything about that Forest. All the history books are telling myths, little brother. I don´t think this Meddy Flower expects a visitor if it´s that powerful as they." he stated seriously.
"Cloud has a point there Roxas." Tifa agreed. I turned my head hastily at her, slightly irritated by both of their hesitancy. Lithely scowling, I stood up and walked over to look out at the stars through the window. They were shining brightly in the sky... like they were watching me from above.
Turning my head back at the two, my face showed determination and a sincere expression.
"You can´t keep me forever here...you know you can´t..." I spoke.
Silence was their response. After that event...I snuck out during midnight.
Left a note that said I would come back...
Along with the cure...
That I loved them...

...Cloud...
...Tifa...
I am so sorry...
...
Eyes fluttering... the soothing waves lulled me to sleep. I looked beyond the blurry surface one last time... midget light shining down on my pale face.
Suddenly... I heard muffled grunts and shouts of pain. Weapons colliding on solid fleshes... making loud blows. The fight continued for a few seconds. Then I saw hazy orange and fury...
Fire...
The powerful element teared its foes apart- screaming ripping through the air... reaching my water-covered ears. After a short while...there was thick silence.
A tall lanky shadow stood over my motionless form...
It dived in after me.
Drifting off slowly... I remember the familiar bright red hair and...beautiful worried emeralds- staring directly in to my tired sapphire ones. Too exhausted, I closed my eyes.
My body was dragged up and carried...strong limbs below my frail legs and small shoulders. Reaching above the surface, my saviour was on the move, wet footsteps colliding softly... each bouncing steps rocking me gently. My head was leaning on a broad firm chest. The cloth smelled strongly of burnt cinnamon, raining aqua and smoke... I found it very addictive.
Not everyone I knew had this smell in Twilight Town -kind of interesting may I say. Automatically inhaling the unique flavour... I nuzzled closer. I felt protected in these stranger´s warm arms.
Like I belonged in here...
At first I expected one of the demons to destroy me-but it didn´t matter now. Everything seemed peaceful again.
Allowing my worn out minds to relax, I melted in abyss.
The world went black.
Authors note: Sorry for taking so long! But as I said...school kept me busy :/ Hope you enjoyed the first chapter so far! There will perhaps be more next week, not sure yet. Anyways, love you all. Review and fave if you liked it!
