Alright well, I was going through the site looking for something to read when I saw this challenge. It suits my tastes and it's something that I'd probably have thought about sooner or later. Though I am gonna make slight adjustments (with approval of course). The plot idea belongs to RedBurningDragon. Hope you guys enjoy!

Chapter 1

In a mountain forest miles from civilization, under the light of a full moon at the peak of it's height showing it was midnight, a young boy ran as far away as he could, his normally snow white hair caked with mud, the usual bright blue eyes a whirlpool of emotions and face showing absolute horror as his mind was in turmoil. Not an hour earlier had been the most terrifying moments of his entire life. The day had started off fantastic, hell, the entire week had been fucking amazing up until earlier. His parents had told him that they were going on a surprise camping trip for his tenth birthday and he had been ecstatic. They had been hiking all week, catching fish in streams, picking berries off bushes, his dad had even caught a boar which had been delicious. All that changed however when he had been about to go bed tonight, his actual birthday. As he was unfurling his sleeping bag in his tent he heard gunfire. Rushing out in surprise he found his father with his shotgun in hand with his mother behind him, when he followed their line of sight he felt an urge to vomit. This, this thing in front of them was the most revolting creature he had ever seen. It's mutated body with six arms, three faces on his head like an oni from Japanese lore, disgusting veins stretching all throughout it's pale body, the bullet hole in it's chest where the heart should be, as it's middle face licked it's lips while eyeing them.

"Mm, I'm sorry it had to be this way, but you humans just look so...enticing, add that I haven't had anything to devour in days and it would seem as if this was fated by the gods! HEHAHEA!" the creature said as it lunged at the family with amazing speed. As it reached them it swung down with all six arms trying to slam the boy's father down. As it swung however, the man pushed his wife out of the way towards their son and used his shotgun to block. As a recently retired champion body builder, he had quite the strength which actually surprised the creature a fair bit, though not as much as strong man when he saw his shotgun bending like thick rope right before the creature's bottom two arms punched him into a tree.

"I love it when food fights back HEHAHEAHA, it makes it so much more fun for me!" it shouted.

"..n y.. .e.. .."

Meanwhile the boy and his mother could only watch until the child decided he wanted to help his father. Escaping his mother's grasp with all his effort, he reached into the fire pit, grabbed one of the lit sticks and threw it at the creature which seemed to actually work in distracting it. His mother shouted for him to get back as she grabbed him and pulled him away as the creature just threw the stick back with tremendous force, causing a tiny crater to form on the ground where he had been a moment ago.

"I'll get back to you later brat so wait your turn!" it screamed before turning back to get hit in the face with a large stick his biggest prey had gotten a hold of.

".an y.. .ea. m."

The boy's mother tried to find a way for all of them to escape alive as best as possible. Remembering the what happened with the fire, an idea struck her as she turned to her son and crouched to his level.

"Baby, look at me, you need to run, I'm gonna go help daddy, you remember that large rock for tourists we passed by yesterday right? It's just down the trail since you wanted to detour so we can explore more. Run to that rock, we'll meet you there alright? I promise, everything will be perfectly fine, but you need to trust me and run! Understand!? GO!" she instructed before she turned back to the scene with her husband's fight with the creature as she pulled two sticks out of the lit fire pit and ran to help. Meanwhile the child could only look on, he knew he should listen to his mother, she was always so intelligent, her plans always had greatest success rate. But as he was about to run, his mother smashed the sticks onto the monsters back and rushed to her husband's side. But the creature was hardly deterred. As it turned back, it once again brought it's arms up, ready to smash the annoying humans into paste with all his might. Seeing this the boy's father covered his mother as the arms came down.

"Can yo. hea. m."

Time seemed to freeze as the newly turned ten year old saw what was about to happen and in a burst of white light he screamed as everything around him turned into a frozen tundra.

"NOO!" he screamed as a katana appeared in his hand, it had a foot long light blue colored handle with a four foot long blade the hand guard being in the shape of a four pointed bronze star, he instinctively slashed diagonally at the beast, freezing everything in a mile radius as he fell unconscious.

"Can you hear me?"

When he woke up, the first thing he noticed was the snow, dark gloomy clouds up in the sky as there was nothing more than dead trees and snow for as far as the eye could see. Turning around, his weary widened in shock. In front of him was a giant piece, no, glacier. Inside it were his parents, his father on top of his mother protectively with his back turned to the creature whose arms were stuck mid-swing.

"No. No, no, no!" he yelled as he ran towards his parents. But when he got close the ice shook before breaking as the monster regained freedom with it's great strength, causing the running boy to fly into a tree as he hit his head rendering him unconscious, his parents shattering along with the ice.

"Well, what do we have here? A sacred gear user in a place like this? HEHEAHAHAHA this is my lucky day, oh you'll be delicious!" the creature screamed.

[In The Boy's Mindscape]

A snowy tundra, that was all the boy could see, nothing but open space besides the snow underneath his feet. He looked around confused until suddenly the snowy ground beneath him shook as a giant eastern ice dragon appeared. The boy shook as the mighty beast of myth spoke.

"Can you hear me young one?" it asked.

Although he still shook, the boy managed to speak.

"Y-Yes, yes I can."

"Good, then the time has come for you to finally awaken your true power." the dragon spoke as it raised itself even higher proudly, "My name is Hyourinmaru. I am a dragon that once claimed the frozen river of Cocytus, one of the rivers of the underworld that come from the tears of the statue of The Old Man of Crete which represents the sins of humanity. I was once a dragon that stood on par with the likes of the heavenly dragons, D'draig and Albion. However, before my time, many gods feared my power and I was ambushed before being sealed into this sacred gear. And you, young one, are to be my new master." the dragon introduced.

The young boy could only stand there as many questions raced through his mind. How had this happened? What is a sacred gear? What did this dragon mean by "new master"? And finally, what had happened to his parents?

Hyourinmaru, being able to read his master's mind slowly explained the situation.

"Young one, you must listen very carefully to what I am about to tell you." he started as his host nodded his head slowly, "Everything you have ever heard of the supernatural, gods, angels, devils, mythical creatures, demons, dragons and beasts, they are all real. The stories of king Arthur, the God of the Bible, Mount Olympus, they are all very much real. A sacred gear is part of an artifact system created by the God of the Bible so that humans could protect themselves from the supernatural world. Your sacred gear is a lost longinus class, the highest class of sacred gears which holds my soul and power. The creature that attacked your family is what is known as a stray devil, but more will be explained after this. For now you must decide, if you so wish, I can save you from death and take you somewhere, would you like that?" he asked gently towards the end.

It took a moment for the boy to respond before he spoke. "What about my parents?" he finally asked.

Hyourinmaru was silent for a while, looking for a way to explain it as gently as he could, but found no other way than a straightforward answer.

"I am sorry master, but I'm afraid they are no longer part of the overworld. They're gone." the dragon said sorrowfully.

The boy froze, everything he knew crashed down at the news, the image of his parents stuck in ice made by his power. And as to be expected of a ten year old in such a situation, he fainted being forced into a temporary comatosed state until his brain could fully process what happened.

Hyourinmaru just watched in sadness before sensing the danger to his master's body.

"My master, I shall always protect you no matter the circumstance, just as I will now."

[In The Real World]

As the stray devil lunged, he was suddenly blown backwards in the air as the sword in the boy's hand glowed before taking the form of a tall man with an icy blue, X-shaped marl extending across his face, gray eyes, and long, teal-green hair which reached his lower back. He wears a dark blue chestplate underneath a pale blue kimono, which is connected by two bronze, four point star-like clips joined by a pale green rope, the kimono dark blue horizontal stripes on either sleeve with white edges, and was bound to his waist by a pale green obi that was long enough to act as a ice tipped tail. He had on a scarf-shaped piece of ice on his shoulders that extended around the back of his neck, and his arms and legs were, unsurprisingly, also completely covered in ice.

"Where the hell did you come from!? Fuck it, I'll just eat you too!" the rogue shouted before lunging at the dragon in human form.

"You shall not touch my master with your filthy hands stray, begone!" Hyourinmaru roared before a replica of his sword form appeared in his hand as he cut the devil in half in one swing.

"Wuawuahh!" the stray screamed in agony before crumpling.

Hyourinmaru turned back to his master's prone form before gently picking him up.

"I only have about a minute before I run out of time, his power is draining too quickly, though the fact that I'm even out for this long shows how much energy he really has within him. I must hurry." and with that Hyourinmaru let out wings of ice before flying as fast as he could to the top of the mountain before erecting an ice castle and reverting back into his sword form.

Finish

Note: I didn't say his name on purpose.

Jesus, I'm pretty sure this isn't even 2k words, I wanted to go much further but I think this is a good stopping point. I really enjoyed writing this, it's like rewriting a backstory for Toshiro from bleach and just putting him into DxD. Kinda cool I'll admit. Anyways that's it for this chapter. Also I have an issue. Whereas most people have writer's block where they don't know what to do with their story, I have too many ideas floating through my head, it's what unmedicated ADHD does to you. So Imma put 2 of my stories on a really short hiatus, probably like a month or two at the most so I can concentrate mostly on this story, and one other story that you guys will decide on in a poll I'll set up when I upload this. And the results will be put up in a few days,probs 4-5 when I next update this. ~Ja ne
