I'm back! Thank you to the people following my story, it means a lot to me! I tried to make this longer, so I hope it's long enough. Again, if there's anything I can do to improve this story, or if you have any suggestions as to what I should do, let me know in the comments. Enjoy chapter 2!

"Be prepared, young one, for this story is rather long." Lady Fiadh almost whispered. Uaithne shuddered, is this going to be something bad?

"This was when you were only a newborn, barely even able to see," she said, somewhat sadly, "You already should know you are not my son, I took you when you were a baby, and left my own son in your place."

The young man nodded in understanding. He knows he doesn't belong in this place, the Master of the house already made sure of that.

"My son was born weak in the eyes of our society, and looked down upon in shame once he was born. It wasn't his fault, just his constitution was equal to that of a human's. In order to keep him away from harassment, I swapped him for you, and took you on as a servant."

Lady Fiadh was crying, missing her son and unable to bring him back. Uaithne looked at her in silence.

"I've gotten to watch you grow up, but I can't help but wish that my boy was still here," she continued, "Skáthach does too, and I'm sorry he keeps taking out his anger on you."

The young man was touched that the Lady of the house was so concerned for him, yet saddened about the fate of her son. He made up his mind; he would somehow reunite mother and son, even if he remained a slave here for eternity. However, Fiadh was not done speaking.

"I know you and I could both get in serious trouble for this, but you need to run; get out of here for your own safety," she whispered into his ear, "Skáthach cannot control his anger anymore, and he could very easily kill you. I will aid you in any way I can, but you need to escape tonight."

Uaithne stared at her with wide eyes, finally daring to speak up.

"Leave? How? A human can't escape the Feywilds without a proper enchantment!"

The elven woman put her arm around his shoulder in what was supposed to be a comforting gesture. He flinched from the physical contact.

"Which is why I've been preparing for you to leave," She informed, "I will place the enchantment upon you tonight, as well as give you some tools to aid you should you need them. You know where the nearest faerie ring is, correct?"

He nodded. This must be very important to her if she's willing to withstand a beating from the Master to keep him safe.

"Then you know where to go. Once you have stepped through, run. Only when you've found your family should you relax. I will wake you up at midnight tonight when the moon is at its brightest."

Gracefully, Lady Fiadh got up from her spot, and walked toward the door. She looked back towards him with a determined gleam in her eyes, however sadness was also present. She stepped out of the room, having given Uaithne his final orders.

Uaithne POV

As she walked away, I was left in a state of shock. This place is all I've ever known, and now I have to leave. I am grateful to Lady Fiadh, she was nicer to me than the Master ever was, and she was nice enough to give me food when the Master wouldn't. I know I have to leave, or else Master Skáthach will kill me in just a matter of time.

Knowing what I had to do, I completed my final day of house chores. The next few days were going to be really hard on my own, but somehow I know I'll make it out alive; Lady Fiadh is counting on me to escape.

Oh, who am I kidding?! I'm screwed!

3rd Person POV

Izuku was sitting in his desk at Aldera Middle School, scribbling down notes as the teacher drawled on. Izuku decided to pay attention when he mentioned the career application tests, and recoiled with a grimace when the entire class started using their quirks at once. Katsuki decided to add his own two cents into the matter.

"Hey, teach! Don't lump me in with this bunch of losers. I'm the real deal, but these guys will be lucky to end up as sidekicks to some busted D-Lister!"

The students started yelling in outrage towards him. His reply didn't make things much better.

"Let's go, I'll take you all on!"

The teacher praised Katsuki on his test results, and Katsuki just relished in it. He was going to UA High.

"That's why it's the only place worthy of me. I aced all of the mock tests. I'm the only one at this school who stands a chance of getting in. I'll end up more popular than All Might himself, and be the richest hero of all time! People all across the world will know who I am, and it all starts at UA High!"

"Oh yeah, Midoriya, don't you want to go to UA too?"

The boy in question flinched and drew himself in to be as small as possible as the class all laughed hysterically in his face. The next thing he knew, Katsuki's hands were on his desk, and an explosion sent him towards the wall.

Izuku POV

"You'd never be able to hang with the best of the best! You'd die at the exams! Defenseless Izuku! This school is already crappy, do you really wanna embarrass it more by failing so hard?"

I sat against the wall with my head hung in shame. This was turning out to be a horrible day. Yeah, I know, I'm different. Why did that have to affect our friendship? I can't imagine what he'd do if he knew I wasn't human. I can't wait for school to just be over, and I can go home.

The rest of our classes went by without much incident, other than the crap that happened this morning. I start to pack up my stuff when Katsuki grabs my journal.

"I don't know what you think you're doing Deku, but we're not done," Katsuki glared at me.

"What'cha got, his diary? Huh? Don't tell me you're taking notes on how to be a hero. That's so pathetic!" One of his lackeys laughed.

"He's delusional!" said the second.

"Uh, real funny guys, just give it back," I tried defending myself.

Katsuki then took the opportunity to blow up the notebook in his hands.

"That's so mean…"

He threw it out the window. He threw my journal. Out the window. Wow.

Katsuki just let his ego talk from there. I stopped paying attention to his words, only noticing his tone. He put his hand to my shoulder, burning me.

"Here's a little word of advice, nerd. Don't even think of applying, or else."

I tried to talk back, to defend myself even a little, but the only thing that escaped my lips were choked wimpers. Damn, I feel pathetic.

"That's just sad, I thought you at least had some fight in you," mocked the first lackey.

"He finally gets it; he'll never be a hero. Better to find out now instead of later I guess," said the second.

The next words I heard from Katsuki are the words I'll never forget.

"You know, if you really want to be a hero that badly, there actually might be another way. Just pray that you'll be born with a quirk in your next life, and take a swan dive off the roof of the building!"

I whirl back to look at Katsuki to give him a piece of my mind, but all words died on my lips as he set off a few explosions. He walked out of the room with a satisfied smirk on his face.

I walked out to the back of the school to see if I could find my notebook.

'That idiot, you can't just go around telling people to kill themselves. What if I really jumped, what would he do then?' I thought, dejected that he would even think to say that.

I found my notebook in the koi pond. Great, just great. I hope I can at least salvage a few notes.

As I attempt to dry the paper off, I think back to the video that inspired me to be a hero; All Might's debut as the world's greatest hero. I've watched that video more times than I can count, and it still gets me fired up to this day.

That brought me to the thought of my heritage; what I am, and why I don't have a quirk. I know by instinct that I am not human. I am an elf that was substituted for a human child. By fae standards, I am weak. By human standards, I have to hide my own abilities or I would be called a freak. Inko, my adoptive mother, still has no idea that I'm not her biological son. I want to tell her, but I don't want to hurt her. This could be devastating to her, but I need to tell her at some point. She's the only one who still believes that I can be a hero, after all.

So I've decided. No matter what anyone says, I will keep smiling and achieve my dreams!

I walk under the overpass to get home when suddenly there is a shadow looming over me. I look back to see this mass of slime, and I look on in terror. No magic that I can use can get me out of this one. I only know basic Ecokinesis, photokinesis, (very) short-range teleportation, and shapeshifting. Nothing I could use in this environment.

I am so utterly screwed.

Ok, so that's chapter two! I hope you enjoyed it. I've said it in the first chapter already, but if you have any suggestions as to what I should do to improve, please let me know! I do have one specific question to ask you all though; should the changeling Izuku get OFA, should Uaithne (original Izuku) get it, or should either of them get OFA at all? Let me know in the comments!
