Prologue

(Ichigo's POV)

I dropped to the ground on my knees, bewildered. Screams, mourns, shrieks, wails and cries rang in the atmosphere. Horses galloped and the sound of spears cutting through human skin and swords clashing rang in my ears. House after house ignited and burned. The fire burning in the palace chambers and the whole town produced towers of black smoke that made the world dark and gloomy and blood that splattered all over the place made it look like a battlefield.

All of a sudden, I felt a horse step behind me. With terrified eyes, I turned around and saw a man in an armor, his spear pointing mercilessly at me. I couldn't speak, yet a tiny shriek escaped my mouth.

"ICHIGO!" I heard my Mom's voice. The soldier got distracted. Seeing Mom rush to my aid, I felt delighted. I tried to stand up and run to her comforting embrace, but froze as if a hand burst out from the ground and held me back as I saw the merciless spear of the soldier cut through Mom's belly. Blood splattered. I stared in horror as Mom helplessly fell down. Feeling myself free from whatever stopped my movements, I crawled to her side, buckets of tears pouring down my cheeks.

"Mom, Mom! MOM!" I heard myself screaming, as I shook her shoulder. She didn't reply. She didn't move. "Mommy! Don't leave! Don't leave me alone! MOM! DADDY! Mom is…", I cried, "MOM IS…!"

Suddenly a hand grabbed the collar of my T-shirt and lifted me up. Perplexed, I saw myself going farther and farther from my mom. I struggled to run but the soldier grabbed me and dragged me even farther. No, I wasn't going to leave Mom alone! Nevertheless, I had no power. All I could do was, scream and struggle.

Then I heard another voice. "Ichi Nii!" My sisters! I looked from left to right in horror and found myself staring at my two year old twin sisters, being dragged like me. Just then, I was shoved into a wooden carriage along with many other hostages. The door was being closed.

"Yuzu! Karin! MOM! DAAAAAAAAAAAAD!"
