OK, so I've been wanting to do a Kuroinu story for a while now but every idea I had never really stuck with me. However, with some help of my good friend Sandshrew master 317 I finally got one that I liked granted it still has a few bits I'm not entirely sure about but overall, I like the idea.
So, another thing is I'll be doing this alongside my Bleach story, but focusing on my Bleach story because right now… that's my big story like, I'm actually excited to get it moving and I'm still in the prologue for that so I really want to get to the main story. Now I believe I talked your ear of so, I'll just let you get to the chapter now, Enjoy~.
Kuroinu: Burning Ash
-300 Years Ago-
The universe is filled with all kinds of life. Some smart, some dull, some big, some small, some old, and some new.
The scene cuts to multiple different villages and cities with various kinds of people walking about, ranging from humans to both High Elves and Dark Elves before panning to the sky.
These are things that are… well apparent it's just how all these different races are placed in the world, they didn't have a choice in any of these.
Clouds begin to swirl around the sun as if they were merging with it and began to take a strange orange color. Many people staring at it feeling a sense of unease, some people muttering nervously. This unease only increased when the center of the swirl formed into some kind of portal
However, there are times where a race makes decisions that were just too drastic to take lightly, and thus due to the laws of this universe were deemed unfit to continue. The most recent victim of this… was the Elves.
The scene showed a town with countless houses lit on fire with various colors before showing families of High Elves and Dark Elves fleeing in terror, a shadow fell over them before a blast of green and yellow fire shot through there bodies setting them a blaze and falling to the ground lands with a thud near there corpses.
A creature with its body lit ablaze with green flames with yellow tips rose from its kneeling position. Wings of fire were in place with its arms the flames taking the appearances of feathers flowing through the wind and had three long streams of fire in the shape of long tail feathers. Its feet were in the large bird talons with two toes in the front and one on its heel, its head like everything else was covered in flames the only thing that can be made out was its glowing yellow eyes.
Phoenixians, a race of gods with the appearance of Humans, but can change into a creature with the appearance of Humanoid Phoenix. Their flames varied in color and often resembled shimmering feathers giving them an appearance of a horrific beauty to their foes. So powerful their flames turn away those who opposed them and appeared to be near immortal.
Phoenixians with flames ranging from all colors soared the sky their embers falling with the appearance of feathers, lighting on fire any living person they touched. Villages all across Eostia were filled with nothing but fire none being harmed other than the Elves and those who protected them.
A Phoenixian with purple flames with black tips swooped down to the ground kneeling on a knee as it landed before looking forwards seeing a group of Dark Elves fleeing but 3 human knights blocking its path. Its wings morphed into flaming arms, the flames still taking the shape of feathers before launching forward and grabbing the faces of the first two knights and assaulting their heads with blast of flames. The third knight tries to swing a Warhammer at the god but it just grabbed with its talons and slashed his chest with his other causing the knight to burst into flames. the Phoenixian turns to see the elves still running before it brings its hands back and thrust them forward sending a stream of fire towards them and incinerating them.
The Elves pride and arrogance put themselves on their watch for a while it was only after their choices really started to affect the world around them, that the Phoenixians decided to take action. With the Demon race slowly gathering themselves they couldn't take any chances so the Phoenixians chose to do the only sure-fire thing they could and exterminate the Elves.
However, it was then two Elves one High Elf and one Dark Elf using the power of a Celestial Relic, ancient artifacts crafted by the individual races, to travel through the rift in the sky. They manage to make their way to the Phoenixian king and pleaded with him to top his attack. The Phoenixian king glared at them with no intention of calling his troops back until both Elves offered a deal to the king, they would give their souls and use them to create two Celestial Relics and in exchange the Phoenixians would stop their assault on the Elves.
The king was shocked, he simply couldn't believe that these two would give away their own soul in the belief that their race could better themselves. In the end this offer made him rethink the race, maybe there was a chance that these two could change their race for the better so, he allowed them to leave with their souls and he called off the assault.
It took a while but the elves were able to recover, and since then not once have the Phoenixians intervened with the realm. There were instances here and there but no one could say whether or not they were responsible so, ever so slowly the Phoenixians were forgotten. However, they were still around, and they were still watching and waiting to what had to be done.
-Present-
Eostia, now after the Phoenixians assault had finally started to regain some form of peace, however, such a thing just wasn't meant to be. For years now, a war between the High Elf Celestine and the Dark elf Olga Discordia has raged across the land of Eostia. The two used to rule together however the human's subjugation over the Dark Elves caused a rift between for Celestine was too concerned about losing the little faith she had then to take any drastic measures to stop it. This was the cause for the war and why in turn Olga aligned herself with monsters such as the Orcs who she allows to attack human villages then kidnap and rape the women.
"Gah!" a man cried out in pain as he was killed by an orc. The orc picking up its club before looking towards the man's wife who coward under its lustful gaze before it grabbed her and started to tear off her close as she thrashes in it's gripped. Once he stripped her he pinned her to the ground and began to thrust in her sex. This was going on around the entire village, orcs were killing men while subduing and raping the women. The only sounds heard was the laughter of the orcs and the cries of the women.
Back to the orc from before was enjoying his new toy so much he didn't let up or show any mercy. The woman no longer begging for him to stop now just started sobbing, the orc lost his pleasure started to speed up his thrust not noticing the strange blue and yellow feathers falling from the sky.
-Thorn-
inside a castle in the city of Thorn. A beautiful elegant woman sat on her heels before a shrine with her eyes closed in prayer, she wore a see-through shawl over a red kimono and a white fundoshi with several sigils. Her shoulder length black hair was tied up on the sides and had a head ornament in the shape of the sun. This was the Shrine Maiden Kaguya, the leader of Thorn, and one of the Seven Shield Princesses Celestine's most trusted allies.
Kaguya and her followers were currently around the shrine they protect performing a prayer, however, the entire day Kaguya has felt… off. She felt as if something was trying to lure her somewhere and for some reason, she felt compelled to listen.
-Village-
The orcs were continuing their fun and the feathers continued to fall before one fell upon an orcs shoulder as he was about to grab a female villager cowering under his gaze. But as soon as it did… the orc's body lit with blue fire.
-Thorn-
Kaguya felt a strange pang in her heart causing her to grunt. Her followers taking notice turned to her in concern.
"Head Priestess?" one of them asked in concern.
-Village-
The orc cried out in pain as he thrashed about as his body burned away causing the others to turn to him. They were about to rush over, however, more of the strange feathers fell on them as well making them suffer the same fate as their comrade. The woman who was cowering before the orc notice that she was being held and looked up to see a cloaked figure holding her in their arms.
The only feature of his she could see was their garnet eyes under the hood shadowing their face, and a strange sword hilt that she could see peeking through the cloak attached to their left hip. It's guard looking like a swirl of feathers made out of strange crystals that looked a beautiful transparent red and its pommel looking like a bird head made out of the same substance.
The remaining orcs notice the figure and began to advance on him. The ones with women simply through them on the ground before advancing, the one closest simply chose to charge at him causing the women to shake in the figure's arms before she blinked… and the orcs head was gone. She stared for a second before looking back at the stranger and seeing him quickly sheathing his sword, no one even seeing the blade in the process.
-Thorn-
Kaguya began to hunch over gripping her chest in pain. The action caused several of her followers to rush to her side and attempt to hold her up.
"Head Priestess! What's wrong?!" one of them asked before. "Quick! Someone help me get to her to a room!"
This caused several of the women to take action one going to find someone with proficient medical skills and another rushing to Kaguya's side to help.
-Village-
the remaining villagers didn't know whether to stare in awe or amazing as the figure single handedly killed the orcs leaving each one a burning corpse before there was only one left. The figure watched as his last kill was burning away, not much caring for the remaining orc.
The orc simply stared at the figure with a sense of fear at seeing the remains of his comrades becoming nothing but ash. Gathering its remaining courage, it rushed the figure with its axe before slashing it severing their body from their left shoulder to their right hip. The severed half fell to the ground and silence covered the village as the villagers stared in horror at the sight of their defeated savior.
"hahaHAHAHAH!" The orc let out a loud victorious laugh at his conquest. His celebration, however,r caused him to overlook something… the body was still standing.
The villagers seemed to forget this too however too their shock and awe the severed area of the body suddenly ignited with blue and yellow. Those flames began to take shape into the rest of the body as the orc who had stopping laughing and stared in horror, the flames stayed for a bit before dispersing and revealing the body of the figure to be a young male.
The man's physique was lean but well-built giving off the vibes of a warrior. The man had black hair that went down to his jaw and bangs that went to his eyebrows, his fierce eyes were garnet however at the moment they had a faint blue hue around them. Due to being cut in half his cloak was destroyed and what ever he was wearing over his upper body under it leaving him shirtless, on his back was a tattoo of a phoenix made of blue flames with yellow tips with its wings spread and its head to the side, his only clothing were black pants along with black and white shoes.
He simply stood there for a moment before turning around to face the orc with a quirked eyebrow. The orc's fear grew at seeing the mans emotionless face, however it was too late to flee for it was frozen in place. The man, not seeing much reason to rush this simply started walking towards the shaking orc, his feet leaving burn marks in the ground.
The orc watched as the man stopped a foot away from him and simply stared. "Wha… what are you." The orc asked still shaking in fear.
The man stared at the orc before answering. "A god…" the man said in an emotionless tone before placing his left hand on the orc's chest. "… so, you should bow."
The orc started to feel his body heat up and felt the sting as his body began to blister. Then in an instant, his body ignited in flames, he felt every moment of his skin and flesh burning away, felt every moment of agonizing pain
"AAAAAAGH!" the orc screamed as he fell to his knees no long capable of standing with his feeling his feet burned away.
"PLEASE! MERCY!" the orc continued to scream as the villagers watched. the women feeling a sense of sadistic pleasure at seeing one of the beasts who attacked and raped them suffering and begging for mercy.
-Thorn-
Kaguya laid in bed being told to rest by the healers after not being able to find anything wrong that they can fix assuming it be a simple fever. However, the rest was not coming with the strange sense of heat she started to feel within her. It was like a fire was lit in her soul and for some reason, in the back of her, she was feeling a form of… satisfaction.
-Village-
The orc still alive and burning started to feel all his finger crumble away in ash. The sensation making him scream even louder, he struggled to look up at the self-proclaimed god as he was burning away.
"P-please make it stop." His voice barely audible.
The man didn't answer and simply raised a knee with his hands in his pockets. From the knee down his leg ignited with the strange colored flames that the orc has became well acquainted with. His flaming foot too the shape of a large bird talon before he raised his leg high to the sky. The sun shined behind him shadowing his body giving him a holy but menacing appearance. The orc stared at him seeing nothing but his death he could do nothing but slowly burn away on the ground.
Then… the man slammed leg down, his heel connecting with the orc's skull. A wave of fire surrounded the area however the remaining villagers remained unaffected, however, the did have to cover their faces from the heat, once it died down they looked forward and saw nothing but the unrecognizable charred remains of the orc. The fire around the man's leg began to swirl around his leg furiously before it began to erupt his entire body.
The villagers looked on in horror and awe as they stared at the Phoenixian in his true form, his feather shaped flames the same color they began to see quite often this day. He bent his legs before he suddenly shot to the sky a trail of blue fire following him as he did, the villagers staring at his fleeting figure began to prey, whether if it was for their savior or for protection from him was unclear.
The Phoenixian continued to fly before he found a high cliff and landed on it, his flames dispersing. He stared out in the distance before running his hands through his black hair and began to think.
'I hope that manage to get your attention…'
-Thorn-
Kaguya final started to calm down as she felt the heat vanish and the feeling in her heart go away. However, her breath stopped as she heard a male's voice in her head, but her eyes widened at the one word she heard it say.
'…Sister.'
Ok, so that's that. Now, I finished this late at night so despite me checking through it I know damn well there are probably grammar mistakes I missed so don't be afraid to point them out, in fact, I'm depending on you guys to point them out.
Ok, so there are a lot of things I want to tell you but if I did I would be spoiling it so I won't, I will say Kaguya will be playing a big role in this story. I also feel the need to say I may end up butchering a few backstories here and there but it will only be because it was needed for this story.
Pairings, so I'm still deciding if I should do a single pairing or a harem but I got a plan for either decision. If a single pairing I'll either make it OC x Chloe or a OC x Prim, if it's a Harem then it'll be Chloe, Prim, Kaguya, and Olga.
Alright, I'm going to leave it off here, so don't forgot to leave a review or PM and tell me what you think, and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.
