Chapter 1

The Heretic

Minato, a god, heard the rumors of a golden eyed boy that was just born from a rock on Mount Kenrin. Yes a rock. He could hardly believe it. It sounded ridiculous, but the fact that he had golden eyes just might make it possible. Golden eyes are a symbol that you are not human, demon, or a god. An entirely new species altogether, also know as a heretic, and if a boy really was born from a rock then he is most certainly one. Most people view heretics as extremely dangerous and a huge threat to heaven and the lower world. They are known for being like a lucky charm, but no one knows whether it would be good or bad luck. Heretics can be very helpful and use their strength to help others, but they could also cause great destruction. They have to be kept under control. That's why even if there was a low chance of that rumor being true he had to check it out just in case.

He went down to the lower world and headed towards Mount Kenrin. He brought a few supplies just in case. Then he entered the forest and searched for the heritic until he found him. Minato stared in awe as his eyes caught the rumored boy. The child had long spiky chocolate brown hair, pointed ears, long sharp nails, light brown skin covered in expensive looking silk robes, his eyes were slitted like a cats, but he had the brightest pair of golden eyes that he has ever seen. Then before he realized it he the boy was staring back at him. They stared at each other for a while before he heard the boy's stomach growl. Then Minato offered to give him food if he came with him, not expected the boy to agree. I mean who would be that stupid, but then he heard the boy say "Yes." with a big innocent smile on his face. Minato was in shock he was half expecting him to say "Just kidding who would be idiot enough to just go somewhere with a stranger." any second, but he didn't. Minato, stood in shock, just staring at him. It was almost too easy. "Hello are you alright?" the boy said. Minato snapped out of his shock and said "Yes fine, no need to worry.", while giving the boy his best smile, "I just have to go get my things together then we can head out." Then he turned his back to him and started rummaging through his supplies.
