Okay I am changing the story a bit, I hope its better. I have changed basically the whole story due to my previous lack of understanding of the story I will do my best, but I need support from you, my readers.
Hell on earth
Chapter 1
Shi no ryū's POV
Hell on earth started the day I was born, with my first breath I killed my mother and father. The villagers at first took me in, I was held in the elder's cabin for two days when the first villager came down with an illness, then two more that same day by the end of the week everyone in the village was struck by this strange illness, and the crops had failed.
Third person POV
Two days later a traveler entered the village looking to trade and he found it abandoned, he looked into the first house and found two bodies lying in the bed as if asleep. He used magic to find the cause of their strange deaths and found a black energy surrounding them. A trail of black energy lead him into each house ending at the elder's home.
He walked into the cabin and found a small child in a crib shrouded in the black energy, the energy slowly seeping out of the baby and into the ground. He looked closer at the ground around him and saw that it was thick with the blackness. He whispered, "The harbinger of death." He drew out a dagger and prepared to stab the child, the child turned its head and the traveler saw pure innocence in the child's face. He decided to spare the child and try to raise it as his own.
He made a carrier out of the blanket and carried the child out of the town and into the forest a mile away from the village. As he walked he saw that the plants around him wilted, He carried the child deep into the forest to a cabin. In this cabin he examined the child more closely and found a birthmark on his right shoulder in the shape of a dragon, he smiled and said, "Your name shall be Shi no ryū."
Shi no ryū's POV
The Traveler cared for me for a year in that cabin before he came down with an illness, the same one that took the lives of the villagers. The forest around the cabin was now a desolate Ashland, the remnants of the forest for a mile around the cabin was a black ash.
One day not long after The Traveler came down with the illness a group of people came to the cabin. The leader knocked broke open the door to find a child of one year old sitting on the floor staring at him while a man sat in a chair behind him watching him play. The person who broke down our door turned to the man and said, "We have been sent by the Magic Council to investigate the cause of this forests destruction around your cabin."
The traveler said, I am not sure myself but whatever did it is starting to take a toll on me now as well, I was struck by the illness that effected the land but until recently was able to stave it off due to the magic in my body. The child here seems to be immune to it since he was born with the virus."
The strange man who had burst into our home said, "Then I shall take this child and we shall find the cause of this disaster."
"I can't let you do that, no matter who you are, or why you're here."
"If you don't comply we shall take the child by force."
The traveler stood up and stepped over me and said, "You won't take one step closer to my child."
The man who broke down the door slammed his fist into the traveler's chest and sent him into the back wall. I struggled to my feet and said, "dnt ou dre och im." (Don't you dare touch him.)
The man smiled and said, "Isn't that cute the child want to fight now." The man took a step toward me, anger flared through me and I unleashed my powers on him and his men who had followed their leader into our home. All five of them were dissolved in less the two minutes.
I stumbled over to where the traveler was laying on the floor and he stared at me and coughed holding his stomach. I placed my hands on him and he flinched away from me. I used the same power that I had on the others to draw out his pain and illness, in so doing I drew out all of my energy that had seeped into him.
He had had his eyes squeezed shut in anticipation of his death, when it didn't come, but instead was replaced by a soothing feeling he opened his eyes and said, "Are you a gift or a curse." I contemplated that with my whole one year of life and shook my head not fully understanding what he had said.
The next day we left and for a year we traveled from town to town, not staying in one place for more than a day, just enough time to rest and eat then we were off again on our next adventure. Through it all he told me stories about his better days, when he was young and crazy. I slowly developed better speech patterns and mastered the ability to walk. We mostly stayed in caves, and in tents.
Then one day he came down with the illness again, he tried to hide it but I could see through his guise and asked, "Want me to try to heal you again?"
He shook his head and said, "Shino I wouldn't ask you to do that." You need to save your energy one day you might need it."
One year later the illness took his life, I was so filled with grief that I unleashed my powers full blast consuming the town we were staying in and the forest around it for three miles. After two days of lying on the ground where the inn used to be I got up and walked away, my powers weak and depleted.
After a month my powers were at their height again and the radius of my influence was back to four miles. I never stayed in one place, constantly on the move. I never stayed at an inn again and tried to avoid towns and villages all together.
Two years later I walked into a large city filled with people and walked into an inn, the innkeeper saw me in my rags and approached me. She took care of me for three days, she clothed me and fed me and let me stay in her room for free. at the beginning of the forth day I was sitting at a table devouring my breakfast as if I had never eaten before and a man walked in.
He saw me and gasped he said, "So the legends were true, the devil has taken on the form of a child." He walked toward me and said, "BOY!"
I looked up and said, "Yes?"
This startled him, he said, "I will end your life before you end the life of this whole city."
The innkeeper said, "Step away from that child right now!"
He spun around and said, "I am a mage from the Magic Council, and I have been searching for this child for five years, he has taken the lives of countless people, and if you don't stand down now I will half to detain you."
I set down my fork and stood up out of my chair I said, "Step away from her NOW!"
He spun around and said, "Or what are you going to do?"
"I will protect the nice lady like I protected my father four years ago."
"Oh? And what did you do? Huh?"
"I took the lives of the Council mages who hurt my father."
"Oh? And where is your father now I would like to speak to him."
Misery filled me and I said, "My father has been dead for the last two years."
Shock filled his eyes and he said, "Do you mean to tell me that two years ago, that incident was because your father died?"
"Do you mean the town I destroyed, well then yes that would be the cause."
The innkeeper looked scared and said, "You two should leave."
I nodded and headed for the door, the council mage followed me into the street and said, "I'm still going to kill you."
I smiled and said, "I would welcome death, I turned to him and got down on my knees offering myself to him.
I watched as he crafted a sword out of magic and swung it at me, the sword stopped suddenly. I looked into his eyes and saw the hesitation and in that moment he was tackled by a group of men. Two of them stood up while the other three held down the council mage. One of the men that were standing offered me his hand and said, "come with me, you will be safe with us."
I sighed and said, "But you won't be safe with me, everyone I have ever cared for have died. I am unsafe."
"I doubt that, just come with us to our guild and we can teach you our ways."
I took his hand not knowing what I was getting myself into, I followed them out of the town and toward the mountain that loomed overhead. When we reached the mountain they lead me into a cave that had a secret opening in the back, the entrance opened to a tunnel that lead us deep inside of the mountain.
I looked up at the leader and asked, "What is your name mister?"
The man turned to me and said, "Michael, and yours young one?"
"Shi no ryū, I'm not sure what it means but whenever I say it, it scares people."
"It means Dragon of death, how did you come by this name Shi no ryū? were you raised by a dragon or something?"
I shook my head and said, "My father said that I have a dragon birthmark on by back and he found me in a village where all the villagers had been killed by a disease caused by my magic."
He smiled and asked, "How old were you when you took you first life, two or three?"
I shook my head again and said, "I killed my parents with my first breath and I took the lives of those villagers by the time I was a week old, you see my magic is poisonous, I have caused the death of thousands. I have no control over this power and I can only stay here for at the very least a year before I have to move on or you and your guild will start to die off."
"If what you say is true then you could be an asset to our guild, all we have to do is help you master your powers then you would be able to help us get our revenge on fairy tail."
I had heard of fairy tail before, my father had spoken of them many times telling of how he was once a member of their guild but left due to an argument he had with the master of the guild. He told most of his stories about a child there named Natsu, a dragon slayer, whose powers grew each day.
I looked up at him and said, "If my powers are able to be tamed then I would like to meet the mage known as Natsu."
One of the men who was dragging the Council Mage said, "You want to fight Natsu. Then you would have to take to the master, he can help you prepare for that fight."
The leader spoke up again and said, "And if my suspicions are right then you may be the one who will finally be able to fuse with the special Lacrima that he has made that combines a person's energy with that of the natural element that they are bound to. You would be the first and possibly the only, though it will hurt and it has a high chance of killing you."
"I'll do it, I've spent my life worrying whether or not I would end the life of everyone, if this is a chance to control this virtually uncontrollable energy then I will accept." I said with enthusiasm and vigor.
They all smiled at my resolve and lead me to the center of the mountain. After hours of walking we finally reached what seemed to be a thriving city floating on lava. The temperature was comfortable and the air breathable due to magic orbs that floated over the city.
I was lead deep into the city to the tallest building, it was a marvelous sight. The building was more like a tower or spire shooting into the sky, diamonds, emeralds, and rubies covered the lava rock structure in a way that was awe inspiring and too soon I was lead inside. We walked into the center of the otherwise uneventful room and then the floor elevated, lifting us high into the sky.
After a few moments the floor stopped at a door. Michael opened the door and led me into a brightly light room the others staying behind. I followed Michael to the end of the room where a throne sat. Sitting upon the throne was a middle aged man with long grey hair and a long grey beard. He was wearing blue robes and held a golden scepter covered in jewels.
Michael kneeled down in front of the man and said, "Master I have brought a child of death who wishes to test his strength against your Lacrima."
The master observed me and said, "So you believe that you will not be killed by the overwhelming abilities of the Lacrima that I have created."
I bowed and said, "I do not know if I will live or die, if I die then it was meant to be, but if I live then I was meant to survive on this world. Whether this choice leads to the suffering of others or their salvation that has yet to be established."
The master smiled and said, "That is a very nice speech and you understand that by doing this you may lose control of whatever powers that you have."
"I already have no control over my powers, they worst that could happen is that by doing this everyone in this mountain dies, and the best possibility is that I gain control over my abilities."
He smiled again and raised his scepter, a beam of light struck the large red diamond on the top of the scepter and struck the floor in front of me. A pedestal and the master stepped down from his throne and walked toward me. On the pedestal was a box he opened it revealing a syringe filled with a black energy.
The master lifted the syringe and lifted my arm. He pressed the needle into the inside of my elbow and pressed the plunger. The blackness entered my arm and traveled through my veins turning them all black, the energy struck my heart and every ounce of energy that had seeped out of my body rushed to me causing Michael and the Master to be flung backwards. The master landed in his throne and Michael slammed into one of the walls, I felt my body heat up and I coughed.
The illness I realized. I had been struck by the illness, which I was once told I was immune to, but an over charge of power could overload my body and cause me to become ill, I passed out.
