-!EDITOR'S NOTE!-

Later in this Chapter Asui may seem relaxed and oblivious which may be out of character for her but the only reason she is like that is because she is the Apex predator of the marsh, Even leeches don't stand a chance to her, She wears minimal cloth because it isn't exactly easy to weave in the marsh and the cloth tends to become destroyed, ruined or lost in the marsh waters. I do NOT ship Asui and Izuku however I plan to make Asui act flirtatious towards Izuku bit only because she finds his reaction adorable and funny

Hope that clears some things up

"S-ar c-ld, You m- s-e -he Arks"

The sense of a cold droplet of water on his nose, Izuku Midoriya slowly woke inside an odd temple, made of metal walls and bright blue lights, streaming the walls. A feminine voice called out, "are you awake child?" Her voice sounding calm and sarming. "Y-Yes, but where am I?" Izuku responded confused, He looked down and noticed he had white robes on, ones that he had not put on himself. "You are inside The Forest Cathedral, an ancient place of knowledge and Amity" The woman responded, her voice still echoing. "May I come out?" Izuku asked shyly, Still not knowing where he was or where he'd go. "Yes, but first I need to retrieve something for you, Meet me in the Cathedral's main room, There you will find me" the woman's voice rang out then footsteps could be heard echoing and slowly getting quieter.

Izuku didn't hesitate as he opened the door and found that the halls were decorated similar to the room but instead of being solid metal it was metal covered by healthy tree like roots and leaves coating the walls, The floor was soil unlike the room's sold metal floor, the soil had patches of grass and the corridors felt rather warm, like a mother's gentle hug.

Izuku walked for a while before reaching the main room, a massive open room with a perfect view of the biomes surrounding the massive tree and the beautiful sun rise, The morning dew coating the leaves of the trees below.

"Beautiful Isn't it?" The woman's voice struck Izuku's ear surprisingly quiet. "Y-Y-Yes it is, miss..?" Izuku said hoping to get an answer to the woman's name

"Please, Just call me Nana, I am the keeper of this Cathedral, I guard the ark but I am in no shape to fight, you are here because you were chosen" Nana said to Izuku, handing him a small metal diamond-like shaped object that was similar to the room he woke in.

Izuku took it in his hand and as he did it embedded itself into his wrist with pain. He cried out in agony as Nana held him and smiled "You will be okay" her voice soothing the pain as he calmed, He stood up and smiled as his dark brown hair and hazel eyes started to change into greens, forest green hair and dark green eyes.

"What do you mean I am the chosen one?"

Izuku asked, rubbing his new found tech.

"Sit down for a story my child, I will tell you,

A long time ago when there was nothing but void, A creature called the seer came with a gifted soul, A soul with extraordinary powers, The seer created the first Ark and gave the soul a new body, a child born to save generations to come. The seer guided her and as she grew she became lonely, the seer could not stay with her forever so as he left, He left the girl with another of her kind, a boy, they grew up and had a child, that child having been born with it's mother's light and it's father's valor, the first quirk child was born, but where there is light there is darkness, The mother had twins, a boy and a girl, while the boy got the Shine and Valor, The girl become dark and twisted with envy, She went insane and started corrupting creatures that once lived in peace"

The reason you are chosen is because the Boy's spirit has chosen you to fight the corruption his sister created, you will save us, but your journey starts here, before you can even hope to defeat the evil, you must train and find allies, there are tribes to the north and the east and packs to the south and west, packs will attack you unless you bring them something, they'll take for items, The tribes will identify you as a threat if you go there with weapons, Tribes are peaceful and only want to survive"

Nana finished.

Izuku sat in silence with no idea what to say.

"Then let's start" he said, now courages

Years of training pass, Izuku now a young man with combat skills to rival warriors. He set out to locate a tribe, the water tribe to the east was his first goal, hoping he would find an ally and information on the 'Broodmother lysrix', said to be a mythical and massive spider.

It's head is the 1st key to freeing the Forest Ark, But Izuku wouldn't be able to do it again.

After a day's hikel Izuku finds a marsh with homes on the water surface through the trees.

"*ribbit* Hey" a Female voice says as Izuku looks around and jumps at the voice.

"H-H-Hi, where are you?" Izuku asked, His robes were filthy from the marsh's waters.

A girl leaps from the water and lands next to him, She was wearing next to nothing as she had cloth wraps covering her…. Sensitive bits…. Izuku froze and covered his eyes.

"I live here, now who are you?" She seemed friendly seeing his reaction.

"I'm Izuku Midoriya, what is your name?"

He says highly shyly, still covering his eyes.

"Tsuyu Asui, but please, call me Tsu"

Asui said, holding out her hand for him to shake as she smiles.

"Let me take you back to my house, there we can discuss more, It's getting Dark, It may be beautiful at night but just about anything can cause you harm at night"

Tsu says as she grabs Izuku's wrist, taking him to her wooden house on stilts.

They enter and Asui takes off the cloth wrappings, hanging them by a clay Fire pot.

"So Izuku, what brings you to the marsh?"

Tsu asked, Seeming unfazed.

"W-W-Well I-I came s-searching f-f-for an Ally and i-information, I was sent by Mother Nana to gather info on a creature called The Broodmother" Izuku said, Avoiding eye contact with Tsu.

"I see, Well in that case you should see the village elder, He rests in the Marsh's Center Home, He is often in meditation or sleeping, it's getting late so we should probably rest, I don't have any guest bedding so you can either sleep on the ground or the bed, Your choice"

Tsu says gesturing, Izuku turning only enough to see where she is pointing.

"A-Alright" He walked over to the bed and layed down. He almost fell asleep before feeling a warm sense behind him, it was Tsu laying next to him on the bed and cuddling into his back, Already asleep.

Izuku didn't take very long to sleep himself.

The next morning Izuku woke to see a very naked Tsu staring him in the face. Startled, he erratically moved and fell off the bed. Tsu started laughing as this happened "Good morning Izuku, how did you sleep?" Tsu asked

"I slept well but woke up with a panic attack thanks to you" He said tiredly, Not seeming to notice Tsu's lack of clothing

"Oh, well if that is the case-" Tsu said seductively as she pounced on Izuku.

"Wh-Wh-What are you doing?!" Izuku was freaking out.

Tsu leaned and close and whispered "Got you" before falling back and laughing to the point of crying.

Izuku confused sat up and looked at her, still unamused by her antics

"I suppose I should seek out the Elder then, right?, for information on the Broodmother?"

Izuku asked, Making sure he had everything.

"Yeah, But let me take you there so you don't get attacked"

Tsu said before grabbing the now dried cloth wrappings and the ash filled Fire pot and started walking towards a large teepee building made of wood in the town center.
