Prologue
This is the story of how I died.
Don't worry, this is actually a very fun story and the truth is, it isn't even mine. This is the story of a boy named Deidara and it starts with the sun.
Once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens and from this small drop of sun, grew a magic, golden flower. It had the ability to heal the sick and injured.
Centuries passed and not too far away grew a kingdom. The kingdom was ruled by a beloved King, Pein, and Queen, Konan. And Konan, she was about to have a baby. But she got sick… really, sick. She was running out of time, and that's when people usually start to look for a miracle. Or in this case, a magic golden flower. Hundreds from the kingdom set off to find it.
However there was a creepy man by the name of Orochimaru . You see, instead of sharing the sun's gift, this man hoarded its healing power and used it to keep herself young for hundreds of years, and all he had to do was sing a special song:
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine.
What once was mine.
But nonetheless a guard had managed to find it. He brought it back to the castle and the magic of the golden flower healed the queen. A healthy baby boy, a prince was born, with beautiful long golden hair. His name was Deidara. To celebrate his birth, the Pein and Konan launched a flying lantern into the sky. And for that one moment, everything was perfect. But that moment ended.
Orochimaru was furious at the loss of his youth-keeping flower. He broke into the castle and softly sung to the child whose hair lit up. He continued to sign softly as he pulled out a pair of siccors and gently cut off a piece of the child's hair. However, doing this caused the hair to stop glowing and turn a light shade of brown. Angered by his discovery Orochimaru found he had no other choice… stole the child and just like that- gone.
The kingdom searched and searched but they could not find the prince. For deep within the forest, in a hidden tower, Orochimaru raised the child as his own.
Orochimaru had found his new magic flower, but this time he was determined to keep it hidden.
"Why can't I go outside?" A slightly older Deidara asked innocently.
"The outside world is a dangerous place, filled with horrible, selfish people. You must stay here, where you're safe. Do you understand, flower?" Orochimaru answered.
"Yes daddy."
But the walls of that tower could not hide everything. Each year, on his birthday, the Pein and Konan released thousands of lanterns into the sky, in hope that one day, their lost prince would return.
