Prologue (Updated: 09/09/2020)

Blooms of colourful light filled the evening sky.

A day of celebration, in memory of a fallen hero of the Empire.

Many celebrated for what he had done and what he achieved. For he had once saved their home from certain doom.

In another time, in another age, a ferocious throng known simply as The Golden Horde descended from the East. Lead by their tyrannical king they ravaged across many lands till their path of damnation leads them to The Empire.

In this time, The Empire experienced a political war between rivals vying for the position of prime minister. It was from this peril, that a young man rose in their squabble and took the position of minister.

A means to an end, using his position to cease all fighting. He removed those he deemed dangerous to The Empire and reorganized the long-outdated army of the second age.

Once done, he raised his armies and marched against encroaching Golden Horde, defeating them at the battle of the Nirvana Valley.

In the end, he would spend the rest of his life living in peace with his family until he died.

Since that day, the citizens of The Empire celebrated this day that this single man protected their home.

They do not celebrate it in the day but rather at night. It is said that the hero preferred to be active at night than during the day.

Hence, on this night in towns and in villages, the people celebrated. They paraded through their streets, waving banners of old and sparkling sticks.

Kids ran about smiling, playing with one another. They danced and pranced down the streets, bringing happiness and joy to all those participating.

Shop stands stood, scattered across towns and villages, although more in towns than in the villages. This time of year has presented many with opportunity for money.

Traders and vendors stood behind their respective stands, selling many items to the celebrants such as sparklers, jewellery, food, clothes and many more.

Not all though celebrated this Hero's day. Those who didn't participate, instead, they slumber peacefully in their homes.

They sleep away, comfy in their beds, dreaming sweet utopias and fantasies. Ignorant of the events transpiring outside.

Their decision for not participating varies from person to person. Perhaps, we'll never know.

Amongst those celebrating in the streets is a young ten-year-old boy accompanied by his Father.

Brown eyes looked around in uncontained excitement, marvelling at the spectacles transpiring all around him.

"Looks amazing ain't it, Tatsumi?" The Father asked him. Tatsumi nodded excitedly.

"Hahaha, you're really excited aren't you?"

The Father looked around, finding his wife occupied with looking at the array of accessories on display. From the looks of it, she looked indecisive.

"Can say the same for your mother. Tell you what?"

He reached into his pocket and handed Tatsumi some coins.

"You go on and find something nice for your mom, I'll keep an eye on her, how about that?"

"Sure dad!" Tatsumi happily replied.

"Just be sure to stay within my sight please," His Father said sheepishly. "Don't want to be cussed by your mother for leaving my view"

With that, Tatsumi ran off eager to find something for his mother, whilst also keeping close to his Dad's vision. He looked around the different stalls, trying to find something appealing for his mother. Whilst looking around, he bought himself some bread to eat.

As he explored, looking for the perfect gift, he noticed in the corner of his eye, in a dimly lit alleyway, someone, a hooded figure, sitting alone by himself. Curious and sympathetic for the lone individual, he approached the figure.

"Umm, excuse me?" Tatsumi asked the figure. The hooded individual turned it's to face Tatsumi, revealing mismatched gold and white eyes under the hood. "Are you ok?"

The hooded man nodded.

"It's uncalled for, but here's some food to cheer you up."

Tatsumi reached out and offered some bread to him. The Hooded man looked at the bread, then looked back at Tatsumi.

"Compassion without reason is an evil, feeling shame is another"

Tatsumi tilted his head in confusion.

"Well, that's what that old man said to me in that place. But, I appreciate the kindness given"

He took the bread from the young boy. Yet, rather than eating it, he instead placed it into his pocket.

"As an appreciation for your kindness, I wish to give you something"

"Eh, you don't need to give me anything" Tatsumi tried reasoning with the man. "You don't need to-"

"Tell me, do you believe in wishes?"

Tatsumi paused before nodding his head. "Yeah, I do"

"Then what do you seek?"

"Ummm" Tatsumi stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

The man chuckled. "It's alright if you wish not to say what it is, I understand. That is why, whatever your wish maybe"

He reached into his other pocket and from it, he pulled out a black box and handed it to the young boy.

"This will help you achieve whatever your desire"

"What is it?"

"Something that'll help you along the way" The man answered. "Trust me, you'll need it for what's to come"

"What's coming?"

"Can't say" the man shrugged. "I'm not from here, so I don't know what's going to happen, but, would you promise me something? It's a simple one really"

Tatsumi nodded.

"That you would not lose resolve, nor would lose your way. No matter the circumstances, no matter the challenges, the loses you'll suffer, or the torment you'll go through, you will stand firm. Can you do that for me?"

Tatsumi nodded, a look of determination on his face.

Under his hood, the man smiled. "Good, guess my work is done in this world, never knew a collective conscious can work you to death." With that, he stood up. "Oh, and she can be quite a pain at times, with her whole girlfriend thing"

"Huh?" Tatsumi tilted his head in confusion.

"Somethings to look out for in the future" The man replied. "Including one needing just a friend, pet her on the head and she'll calm down, be sure to do some martial arts or else he'll drill ya to death, and the last...she'll need someone for support. The invasion of her homeland has twisted her into a cold individual, just look out for her. By the way, if you go over there"

He pointed down the alleyway.

"There's a stand where they sell necklaces made of the finest seashells and other materials from the sea. Perhaps that's a gift you'd like to buy for someone"

Tatsumi happily nodded. "Thank you so much, sir! I'll treasure the gift you gave me!" with that, he ran out of the alleyway. The man chuckled, watching the young boy run out of the alleyway.

"You better, they're still people after all. Hopefully, you'll be ready though, I'm not apart of what's going to happen soon, but hopefully, you'll be, and when you are maybe you can save this place from its own destruction, neu Erbe"

With that, a portal appeared behind him, and the hooded man disappeared from the World. He leaves, knowing that events in this world will be changed forever.

End

Updated Prologue for this story, because it'll be easier for me that I have a proper solid basis than the one that I've written prior.

So yeah, the plot is gonna be the same as before, just some differences here and there, and when I mean differences I mean major differences. For one it's gonna deviate a bit from the original plot of the manga (And I'm following the plot rather than the anime) but I'll try and make sure to keep it the same in most parts. The ending is a major difference and you'll see in the future.

So yeah, hope you enjoyed this newer version of the prologue.
