Please note, i am sort of coming back to this fandom after a long time of thinking. I am going to make four more chapters after this one to see if it will keep my interest long enough.

Long long ago, there lived two races

Monsters and Humans

One day, they went to war after finding out that Monsters could absorb Human soul's

After a long battle between the two races, with many casualties on both sides

The Humans managed to overpower the Monsters and sealed them away in a mountain

Until one day, someone with a special soul managed to free them after being trapped for so long

This is their story

Prologue: Human's strife

The town of Ebott wasn't too special and still isn't. It was a small town, wood and stone house's, small church, bustling marketplace, great beach, had a city in the distance that some would go to for fame and glory while some stayed here. There was even an orphanage... where i formerly lived for a good chunk of my life.

'You probably wondering who i am.'

A young boy is shown in an old abandoned house, wearing a ragged grey t-shirt with an old brown hoodie, some ripped and nearly unwearable blue jeans, and no shoes. He had an old white blanket around him, acting like a poncho or cloak of some kind.

'My name is Aaron... i have no last name since i was never told it. I used to live in the orphanage, until i got kicked out for accidentally creating a fire. Didn't even know how i did it, i just looked at a piece of wood and it suddenly combusted.'

He takes a couple coins out of his pocket, there were few silver coins with a circle that has wings coming out of it with olive branches on the sides while some are copper with a mountain on it. Aaron sighed as he put them back in his pocket and lifted up his hood as he grabbed a wooden sword with a pot lid leaning against it along with a bow that has a quiver with some arrows inside, they were near the door.

'I was fourteen when i was kicked out, it's been around a year since then. I found this old house and decided to live in it, i've been doing odd jobs for people around the place. Making sure to avoid certain 'nice' people in order to not get sold off, my one dream is to join the guard when i'm old enough. I even have a wooden sword and an old pot lid as a sword and shield for practice... or rather self-defense.'

He gets up and walks over to the old wooden makeshift door, he slides it open and walked out promptly after a deep breath.

'I have to deal with some... rather unpleasant people sometimes during my travels, they hated me for being a bit different from other kids and would make fun of me for having a lack of parental figures or brothers or even a sister. Which would result in them beating me up and taking any money i have with barely enough to keep me alive for a bit, or if the situation arises that i don't have any. I would get my ass kicked even harder, that's why i carry the weapon that i have now.'

The young man sneaks through alleyway's and roof's of houses, he then lands in an alleyway of a bustling marketplace. He gets up and walks out of it, walking to a stand with a large golden apple sign hanging over it.

'Which also resulted in me taking on some jobs outside of town, hunting bunnies and what have you with a bow that i made using some skills that i learned. I even know how to make the arrow's for it, not the best but at least the tips allow me to make a fire. I even get to keep some of the kills sometimes, if there's extra that i hunted that is.'

Aaron arrived in front of the stand, he lowered his hood revealing his brown hair that if the light hit just right, would look blonde despite the dirt in it. His blues eyes showing of a hardened person but still retained a gentle playfulness in them while slightly covered by old rusted glasses with cracks on the sides which luckily still allowed him to see. The owner of the stand notices Aaron's presence and looks at Aaron with a grin, his amber eyes and tan skin that went well with the youthful look he had.

"Ah, it's you." The man said

"Hey Mr. Dore." Aaron said

"Aaron, call me Yin as i said." He said

"You know it's business first, so what job's do you have for me today?" Aaron asked

"I just need you to go kill some stag and bunnies, bring me a couple pounds of meat and each carcass i'll give you a Buckle." Yin said

"A-a-a Buckle for each kill?" Aaron asked

"Yes, i'm feeling a bit generous and if there is any extra's i don't need. I'll cook it up and give it to you." Yin said

Aaron nodded, he then ran out into the forest with Yin chuckling himself.

"Just like his father that boy, shame he never met him." He said as he went back to work

A couple of hours later

Aaron was dragging back a few carcasses of the hunt he just went on, he arrived at the stand and placed them on there.

"Hmm, ten stag and forty bunny carcasses are what i need and you brought back fifteen stag and forty-five bunnies which is equal to fifty for the one's i need and you get some food that will last you a couple months." Yin said after examing them

Aaron nodded, Yin then handed Aaron a total of fifty paper bills with a symbol of flower on it along with handing him some cooked meat. Aaron made sure it was all there, he looked at Yin with a smile.

"That's Yin." Aaron said

"You're welcome kid." Yin said

Aaron put the money away in his pocket and put his hood up, walking off with a smile. What he didn't notice, was that he was being watched.

That night

He arrived back at his home, he placed his gear in the usual area. He sat down at an old table and ate the food, he went over to a box he had and was about to put some money away when he heard knocking. Aaron walked over to the door and opened it, to find some people out there. One of the kids wearing a black shirt with some blue jeans and brown combat boots, he had a skull necklace with messy black hair and a glare in his eyes.

"So i heard you got a payday today." He said

"What of it 脳たりん(Dumbass)?" Aaron asked

Aaron slowly reached for the wooden sword, he kept his eye on the leader.

"We figured, that you pay your tax." He said

Aaron then grabbed the wooden sword, he kept it hidden.

"Tax for what?" Aaron asked, playing coy

"Tax for living in MY town, you know my father is head of the guard and he'll kick you out if you don't pay up." He said

Aaron growled in anger, he then pointed the wooden sword at him.

"If you want my money, then your gonna have to chase me for it." Aaron said

Aaron then closed the door and tipped over an old cupboard that was nearby, he opened the box and took out his savings while grabbing his equipment. He went up to the second floor and opened a hatch, he went through it as the group of bullies broke open the door. Aaron jumped off the building and made it to the other side, he ran through the empty marketplace and made it the outside of town. That's when he heard someone say that they found him, he kept running and saw the entrance to where the path up the mountain was. He knew that they were superstitious enough to not follow, he ran up the path while hearing them say that it wasn't worth the risk of losing their lives and left. Aaron stopped running and just sighed, he looked at the money he had. He just walked up the mountain, repeating the legend to himself.

"Legends say that those who climb the mountain, never return." Aaron whispered to himself

He then arrived at the entrance of the cave, seeing all the vines inside.

"I have nowhere to return to, no home, no family, no safety." Aaron said

Aaron looked down at the pit, his eyes downcast.

"Then... i guess i should fall to my death." Aaron said

Aaron then let himself fall forward into the pit, closing his eyes as he heard wind wooshing all around him.

[You realize that while death approaches, you may find something new here. You are filled with Determination]

Aaron then felt something soft after he hit the ground, he passed out promptly afterward, not only from exhaustion from some pain.
