Rosario Vampire: (c) Akihisa Ikeda
(OC NARRATOR)
Within a vast stretches of the universe, a single small planet and its moon are illuminated by the glow of the Sun. This is the carrier of life of all shapes and sizes - Earth.
(Our home planet, governs so many mysteries we either dare to know or not at all. That's at least how I look at it. I grew up in hiding from the rest of the others, so very few know I even exist.)
A young 10-year-old boy with wavy onyx black hair and shining silver eyes continues to nap on the vast green meadow during a warm sunrise. A morning chill is kept at bay with his black and red hoodie, indigo pants and grey running shoes. Perhaps it's time for little exploring.
Boy: "Hope I'll be back before he wakes up... heh. Wish me luck, morning star!"
And after a little chat with the rising sun, the boy immediately jumps and dissapears with the wind. He starts speeding back-and-forth in the forest surrounding a village. While keeping a keen eye on the surroundings.
(I suppose I should let myself be known. My name is Akira, and I'm obviously not a human as you saw. Well, not entirely. The beings like us, simply known as Monsters, exist in hiding. It's our best option of survival, afterall.)
Akira continues searching in the forest, while occasionally stopping to look at other people in the nearby town.
(However, I feel connected to them, because I was BORN as a human. I simply inherited monster powers from someone else. Yeah, insane, isn't it?)
Eventually, Akira speeds away from the forest to a hidden cottage on the base of a snow-caped mountain. While firmly holding a batch of green and white lined herbs, that seem like glittering in the light, in his right hand.
(The powers I've been blessed with are extraordinary and I had to be wise about their use. But being a kid, letting loose on occasion never heard anyone. Right?)
As Akira swiftly crashes through the door and into the living room lit up by an open fire stove, an old wrinkly man rests in a chair. The man has silver hair with green highlights and wears a dark robes and a blanket covering his shoulders. Akira zips past him and bounces back from wall, waking him up. His weak eyes scan around before looking downward on the laughing young Akira.
(That's the owner of the powers that I received. From him personally. The old man Tez. He took care of me, since I never had a family. Best. Grandpa. Ever. Or old dad... something in between... heh.)
Tez: *tired* "Akira, you sholdn't be zipping around so carelessly. You could crash into someone."
Tez could barely talk without yawning, giving his presence an even more caring atmosphere. Ever since bestowing Akira with his new powers, he's been getting weaker. But Akira wholeheartedly took care of him, despite being so young.
Akira: *excited* "Heh, don't worry. No one could even feel me. I'm literally like a wind. And, I found these for you."
Akira shows Tez a handful of green and white glittering herbs. Tez widens his eyes at what he's seeing.
Tez: *stunned* "A-a-are those...?"
Akira: *smiling* "Yup. The moondew tea plants. This will help you to stay energized for few weeks. Right?"
Tez: *chuckling* "Thank you young one. You have a very kind heart. But you don't have to be overdoing anything."
Akira: *sarcastic* "Who's overdoing what?"
And both just have a good laugh. Most of the time it was just them two. The cottage is protected by a special barrier, that hides it away from the sight of anyone else. But there is one powerful monster clan, that is fully aware of them. A Shuzen Vampire clan.
Tez: "By the way Akira, have you decided?"
Akira: "You mean a present for Moka's birthday? Got it right here."
Akira just pulls out of a nearby room a little paper-wrapped box. The big dumb grin on his face says everything Tez needs to know.
Tez: "Alright. Tenmei agreed on teleporting you. And behave yourself. Understood?"
Akira: *excited* "Crystal clear!"
(This was kind of exciting. Moka, the third daughter of the Shuzen Vampires has been my best friend for quite a long time. I would visit freakwently, since the head of the clan, Issa Shuzen, would train me. Now it's purely a friend's visit. About time, amirite?)
(Near Shuzen Castle)
Later that day, Akira is teleported to the entrance of the Shuzen castle via one of three dark lord's assistence, Tenmei Mikogami. Akira always thought he was kind of creepy with his bone-white robes and hood, that only has his bidy white eyes and unsettling smile visible. But still, not too much of a threat if you push the right buttons.
Akira: "Still not comfortable with this."
(Understatement of the decade. I rely on flight for transportations. But now, who cares. Gotta make a proper impression unlike when I first arrived.)
/Flashback: 3 years ago/
The head of Shuzen Clan, Issa, welcomed quite warmly the arrival of his old friend Tez, who already looked quite worn out.
Issa: "And to what do I owe your sudden arrival, Tez?"
Tez: "Greetings Issa. I have arrived in need of assistence."
Issa: "And what could the great Master of Skies require?"
Tez: "Actually, it's not me who needs it." *looks down* "It's this young fellow."
And from behind Tez' legs, a small boy timidly looks at Issa, very clearly nervous. However, once he shows up, Issa senses his aura and frowns a bit.
Issa: *irritated* "Would you explain, why did you bring a HUMAN to my castle?"
At the tone of his voice, young Akira once again hides behind Tez.
Tez: "It's a lot of explanation. Please, just hear me out Issa. This is an utmost matter, that could greatly help our world."
At this request, Issa calms down and motions them to follow him. Tez remains calm, while Akira just wouldn't let go of him. After a bit of walking, Issa asks his wife, Akasha Bloodriver, to watch over Akira for a bit. Akira certainly isn't comfortable with letting go of Tez, but he reasured him he will be back soon. With that, Issa and Tez left to talk.
Akasha: *smiles* "Don't worry sweetie, nothing bad will happen. I assure you."
Akira was a bit taken back how Akasha's presence is so different. It was calm, warm and sincere. Like a mother.
Akira: *nervous* "That man was scary."
Akasha: "Don't worry. He's just not so fond of humans."
Akira: "Are other humans really that bad? I never saw many."
Akasha: *surprised* 'He's never had a contact with others of his kind? So he must be part monster... I wonder...'
"Not all are so bad, dear. I personally know few of them."
After Akira calmed down, Akasha led him into a room for children, so he could play a bit. And he wasn't the only one. Once they reached the room, another child came in through the hall. It was a little girl, about Akira's age, with flowing silver hair and piercing red eyes.
Akasha: "I brought a little friend over, Moka. Could I leave him with you for a while?"
Moka: "Alright, momma."
The girl, now known as Moka, couldn't help but stare Akira down a bit, while Akira felt very unnerved, mainly because of her powerful vampire aura. But then she gave him a confident little smile.
Moka: "Hi there, I'm Moka. Who're you?"
Akira: *nervous* "Uh, I-I'm Akira. Is it really OK, if I stay here?"
Moka: "I don't have a problem. Come on in."
Once they went in, Akasha had left very gladly, that Moka wasn't hostile towards a newcommer. Maybe she didn't recognize his human smell. Just then, Issa came through the halls, with a very perplexed expression.
Akasha: "So? What did you find out?"
Issa: "That child was chosen as a successor of the Feral Wing."
Akasha: *shocked* "What? The Primal Titan of Skies? Impossible. So that means the other two are also out there?"
Issa: "Yes, and many might saught out their powers for evil deeds. I gave Tez a promise that I'll help training him. So he could survive when the time comes. And I suppose Moka excepted him?"
Akasha: "Yes. She welcomed him quite warmly. But please dear, don't be too harsh on him for being a born human. Poor child has never had any contact with other humans. Or anyone outside of Tez."
Issa: "I promise. He's capable of a lot not even he's aware of. I'll be sure to guide him."
(Meanwhile)
While everything else was going on, Moka kept asking Akira about his life. She's quite interested in him, because outside of his human scent, he generates a powerful, still suppressed aura not even she recognizes. So they kept conversing while playing catch.
Moka: "So, what's it like in the human world? Are the humans too cruel?"
Akira: *thinking* "I'm not sure. I never saw many humans, since papa Tez watched over me."
Moka: "But you're a human yourself. How is that possible?"
Akira: "Well, I was born as a human, but I do have powers like other monsters. I'm still learning, though."
With every other answer, Moka grew even more curious. But before she asks further, suddenly a rough voice echoed across the room. And bursting through the door, came another girl, with reddish hair in pigtails and bright emerald eyes. Her expression clearly gave away, that she's tough and it got Akira a bit scared. But her gaze was fixated on Moka.
???: "I challenge you again! This time I'll win!"
Moka: *sighing* "Don't you ever give it a rest, Kokoa? And since we have a guest now?"
The girl adressed as Kokoa, looked at Akira and immediately got in his face. If Akira was a bit freaked out, this time he nearly wet himself.
Kokoa: "And what's a human doing here!? Who're you supposed to be!? Nobody distracts Moka away from me!"
Akira: *scared* "Uh, I didn't mean any harm. I swear."
Kokoa: "Good. Then back off."
Kokoa was about to push Akira away. But before Moka could step in, Akira closed eyes and suddenly a green-lit jewel appeared on his forehead. Once it appeared, it pushed Kokoa back by causing a small shockwave. All three fell bottom down at what just happened.
Moka/Kokoa: "What was that!?"
Akira: "I guess that was a bit of my power."
/Flashback end/
(Man. That was quite a hassel. Thank God I didn't give off too much of my energy.)
With his mind cleared up, Akira moves closer to the castle's drawbridge. As if already expecting him, the bridge falls down and lets him walk in. At the entrance, Akira is greeted by a familiar face. It was Akasha, Moka's mother.
Akasha: *smiling* "Welcome, Akira. We've wondered when will you arrive."
Akira: "No way would I miss the birthday party. How's everyone been doing?"
Before Akasha could answer, a bark is heard and then, a dog comes running in. It was Shuzen's guard dog, Earl Grey. A very playful mutt. Once running into Akira, he starts to hop around with excitement.
Akira: "Hey there, Grey. You look healthy as ever."
Akasha giggles at the affection display from their dog and then, another person comes out. It was Issa.
Issa: "Greetings, Akira. We've been expecting you. Especially Moka couldn't wait to see you. Ready to come in?"
Akira: "Yes sir, thank you for the invite."
Once they enter the castle, several guests near the gate simply glance and turn away again. The Shuzen clan is truely a large community. As Akira, along with Akasha and Issa walk through the halls, Kokoa, along with two new people come out to greet.
One was an average sized girl in a chinese dress, has nape long jet-black hair in loose pigtails and purple eyes. That was the oldest Shuzen daughter, Akua. And next to her was a bit taller girl in a white dress, wears crystal rosary earrings, has tanned skin, blond hair and red eyes. This one's the second oldest Shuzen daughter, Kahlua.
Akira: *smiling* "Hey there, you three. Surprised I made it?"
Kahlua: *smiling* "We've been wondering if you show up. Welcome."
Kokoa: *grining* "About time you showed up, pal."
Well, Kokoa is still such a tomboy as ever. And good news that Kahlua is happy. Akira knew, that if she's upset, she would go berserk. As Kahlua and Kokoa walked away, Akira turned to Akua. Ever since they first met, Akua has always been discreet of Akira, for being born as a human. And also being a close friend to Moka. But she was still tolerable.
Akua: "I can sense you've gotten much stronger." *smirks* "Good job, Feral Wing."
Akira: "Oh. I guess."
(Well that was unexpected. Akua always felt like she couldn't care less about me. The fact, that she just acknowledged me - not sure if I should feel flattered or threatened.)
All of them then make it to the main dining hall, where Moka is anxiously waiting. And then, once everyone walks in, she immediately spots out Akira and runs to him, with a big smile.
Moka: "Akira. I thought you wouldn't make it."
Akira: "And miss out on my friend's party? Fat chance."
Moka: *chuckling* "So. What did you get me?"
Akira: *finger wagging* "Uh uh uh. Not yet."
The party was a really nice experience. Since it was Moka's 10th birthday, it's also important for her as a young vampire. She's steadily reaching maturity.
Moka's sisters also gave her presents. From Kahlua, it was a large plushtoy, from Kokoa it was a small shapeshifting bat, although it was too heavy for Moka so it ended up imprinting to Kokoa. And from Akua, it was a beautiful scarlet red dress. Even Akira was quite stunned, how good they looked.
Moka: "So, Akira. What about you?"
At that question, everyone shifted their attention to the young avian. Akira quizzed a bit at the sudden attention, but calmed immediately. He pulled out a small box out of his pocket with a confident smile.
Akira: "I decided to give you something, that can't just be found or gotten. It IS a special day for you. So I instead used my powers to create... this."
At that he opens a box and pulls out something shiny. Everyone gasped and Moka was the most speechless one. What Akira showed, was a green crystal pendant with a silver jewel, encircled by what looked like a feather-winged dragon.
Akira: *grinning* "Võila. It took me about a month to complete. But, it was worth it."
The fact that Moka was delighted would be an understatement. Akira had absolutely no time to think as Moka just tackle hugged him, crying out of joy and wouldn't stop saying 'thank you'. Even other guests were impressed and clapped for Akira. Issa and Akasha just exchanged a glance and also clapped, along with Moka's sisters.
This would be, without a doubt, the best birthday party anyone has ever been a part of.
Even after the celebration, Akira stayed at Shuzen castle for few more days, currently relaxing on the castle balcony. Some fresh air from all the excitement and Kokoa's hotheadedness was really crucial. He hoped to speak with Moka some more, but she was nowhere to be found.
He just stared off into what remained of the night sky, with a satisfied smile. Then he heard door to the balcony open. He turned around only to see Tez with that same blank, but still smiling face.
Tez: "I heard your present was a massive success."
Akira: *chuckling* "I think Moka would've squeezed me out of my skin in happiness. Still worth it, though."
Tez: "Speaking of which, have someone talked to you about something important?"
Akira: "Uhhh... nothing I can recall. Only Shuzens about silly stuff. Why?"
Tez: *uneasy* "Oh, nothing. Just curious..."
'He still hasn't awakened... Should the time be upon us?'
Akira was starting to get worried, as Tez had a very ominous expression. He knew, that whenever Tez looked like that, something very concerning would happen.
Akira: *nervous* "Um... Tez, what's with that intense face?"
Tez: *stern* "Akira, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. But only once a certain someone finally speaks to you. The spirit of the Sky Titan."
Akira: *confused* "Wait, what?"
Tez: "You know how I already told you that my power is a sacred ability bestowed by one of the Primal Titans of Terra?"
Akira: "Yeah. Ziz, correct?"
Tez: "Well... that's only half of it. You see-"
Before he could say more, they felt a sudden strong tremor. It shook the entire castle and Akira nearly fell.
Akira: *scared* "What the heck is now going on!? Is it earthquake!?"
Tez: "No, something's moving directly below the castle!"
Then, Issa hastly comes running through the balcon door, with Kahlua and Kokoa with him.
Issa: "Tez, you both need to get out! That thing is being awakened!"
Akira: "What thing!? And where's Moka-"
Straight out of castle's every corner, some kind of bony tentacles rose and started whipping around. And a massive one shaped like a hand with Moka entangled, much to Akira's concern. It wasn't the only problem for them. Suddenly, Tez and Akira began to glow in a blinding green aura, Tez however glowing much brighter and a strong wind flowing around both of them.
Akira/Kokoa: *scared* "What's going on this time!?"
Issa: "The soul of the Feral Wing is reacting! Tez, is this-?"
Tez: "I'm afraid it is Issa. You know what to do. Please, for both of our sake, don't let down our agreement."
Issa only silently nodded with a solemn look.
Akira: "Tez, what's what!? I have to help Moka!"
Tez: "No, don't. Akasha will protect her. For you, it's time for the final act. I need you to stay focused, Akira."
Before Akira could question any further, they were slowly fazing out into the wind, clearly ready for teleport. But suddenly, one tentacle formed a gaping mouth filled with sharp teeth, lounging at Akira at blazing speeds. However, Tez got in front of him and tried to push it back with a wind blast. It worked, but then, a bright light zoomed out of the cloudy sky. Some kind of phantom, glowing in bright purple light, slashed the tentacle.
???: "Uh, uh, uh. Not this time. Only I get to finish him off."
It gave a toothy grin and shot Tez in the chest with an energy spear right as they teleported away.
(Base of the Mountain)
As Akira and Tez teleported back into their cottage, they still kept glowing with green aura. However, Tez was starting to fade after being shot in the chest. He was lying on the floor, blood oozing from his wound and shallow breathing. Akira could barely even stand still of how much the sight scared him.
Akira: *shocked* "Tez! No, just hang in there. I'll find the recover herbs."
Akira was about to speed away, but Tez meekly grabbed his hand, stopping him in his tracks.
Tez: *weakly* "There's nothing to be done, young man... It's time for you-" *cough* "-to except my old role..."
Akira: *panicking* "What old role? Just what's happening? What have you been hiding!?"
With the mixture of sorrow and anger, Akira was an emotional wreck. But Tez stayed calm and just gingerly carressed his hand.
Tez: "It's about the power you're destined to succeed... A power that will allow you to protect both our worlds..."
Akira: *tearing up* "Stop being so melancholic..."
Tez: "Listen... you were chosen by a powerful guardian of this planet... It's a massive burden that only select few-" *cough* "-are worthy of upholding... But many will try to force you to serve their corrupted purpose..."
Akira: *crying* "Wh-what're you saying?"
Tez: *smiling* "I know you are worthy of inheriting this sacred torch... The Feral Wing will lead you further... and I shall aswell..."
Akira: *crying* "Stop talking like it's over, darn it! You can't leave." *sniff* "I-I-I have no idea what to do, and suddenly you're asking me to save the world or something!?"
Tez: "Of course you're not alone... The Titans of Land and Sea will come around..." *cough* "...and all three will show the correct path..."
Akira: "Titans... of Land... and Sea...?"
Tez: "Yes. Don't worry young Akira... I give you... this last promise - I will make sure you're save, even if... you can't see me..." *whispering* "...I promise..."
Eventually, Tez just slumps onto the ground motionless.
Akira: *crying* "No... Tez... wake up, please..." *sniff* "...you... you can't leave yet... I-I need you... Tez... please..." *sniff* "...Tez!- DAD!... No... no..."
But sadly, Akira's plea fell on deaf ears. Tez was already gone, while still holding Akira's hand. Akira, no longer able to deny his teacher's death, just cried his eyes out. As his hand was still held by Tez, he felt some kind of energy flow entering his body. He was in so much grief, that he didn't pay any attention. Not even flinching, when the entire cottage was suddenly blown apart by a powerful wind gale. Ominous thunder clouds, flashing with purple lightning, circled around the mountains summit.
???: *echo* "What futile persistence... But you can't get away that easily, old croak!"
An arrogant sounding voice rang through the air. It was the same phantom that shot Tez. At the sound of his voice, Akira stayed still. He was shaking with both the fear... and an absurd fury he felt towards his teachers killer.
Phantom: "Move aside kid, this doesn't have to concern you. If you wish to be sparred."
The phantom rose his arms and formed wing-shaped crystal blades. But Akira didn't move away. Instead, he slowly closed Tez's eyes, picked up a single flower from a destroyed vase and placed it on his chest. Then, once again went quite. The opposing phantom started to get annoyed.
Phantom: *impatient* "Didn't you hear me? Beat it, ya little shithead-"
Akira: *shaking* "...why..."
Phantom: "Hm? What do you want? Wait... the power... it left him-?"
Akira: *stands up* "...why did you kill him...? ...he was the only family I had... tell me... right now..."
The phantom was getting more frustrated by Akira's refusal to move and the dissapearance of Tez's power.
???: *frowning* "Tch... A child like you wouldn't understand. He was following a dead end. Now, hand over the Feral Wing's power... if you know what's good for you."
Akira: *crying* "...You can suck it, you bastard... Tez trusted me... and whatever is your reason..." *turnes around* "You won't get a hold of anything!"
???: "Are you the one I'm destined to guide further?"
Once another mysterious voice rang across the field, Akira felt a massive pressure inside him. He rocked around a bit while holding his had in discomfort and exploded with green energy. The phantom was also taken aback by the shockwave.
Phantom: *stunned* "This aura... this kid is a worthy successor... Dammit, how many times will this sharade go on!?"
The phantom focused his eyes and saw Akira floating in the air, surounded by a bright green flaming aura shaped like a giant four-winged bird. His entire shadowed body was partially covered by some kind of armor on his right shoulder, left leg ending in two-clawed foot and both hands covered by spiky wing-shaped gauntlets with sharp claws.
The only visible parts were his eyes glowing green and and several jewels around his body, also glowing green. He glared at the phantom and screeched at him out of fury.
Phantom: *furious* "Oh no, you won't! He ain't getting away this time!"
The phantom charges at Akira with his blades, but Akira quickly rises into the air. And then, he drop kicks the phantom right in the face. That just gets him even more pissed.
Phantom: *pissed* "You damn mortal! I won't let you trash me, the great Ferox, around."
The two continue their vicious duel while a storm continues to rage around them, with purple lightning roaring everywhere. The phantom now known as Ferox zooms around and attempts to slash Akira with his blades. Akira barely manages to bend backwards to avoid and knee-kicks Ferox in his chest. Then he starts to fire green wind blast from his mouth. Ferox dodges with presission, but the last blast hits him in the face. Seeing an opening, Akira rushes to Ferox and starts biting his neck like a wild beast.
Ferox: *struggling* "Let... go of me, you savage! Damn you, Tez... how did you find such a powerful pipsqueak...?"
But Akira wasn't done. He spinned Ferox around and after building momentum, he blasted Ferox into the air with another wind blast. It tore him apart a bit and he grunted in horrible pain. And for the cup de graspe, Akira flew towards him, forming giant energy claws around his hands and spinning like a disc. Ferox was too weakened to move, so he instead used his power to bearly form a barrier. But was shattered almost instantly, much to Ferox's horror.
Ferox: *terrified* "No! NO! STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
Akira: *furious* "GOOD RIDANCE WITH YOU, SCUM!"
Akira managed to get face to face with Ferox, lifted both energy clawed hands and hammered him down towards the base of the mountain, creating a shockwave that caused a landslide.
Once Ferox was down on the ground, a purple magic circle lifted from under him and transported him. Meanwhile, Akira was still floating in the air while grunting. The ominous storm is also still raging around him. And with the final ear-pearcing shriek, he fell uncounsious and dissapeared in a streak of light, that vanished through the mountain's summit.
(Mental void)
After experiencing that shock, Akira appeared within some kind of void, with the floor being covered in a neon mist, but sky being like during nighttime.
Akira: 'What the-... where am I?'
???: 'Do not fret, young one. We are inside your mind.'
Akira: *confused* 'My mind? But... who are you? Show yourself.'
And as if on command, a sphere of crackling green electricity and flowing gale emerged out of nowhere. It continued to grow and started to take on a shape of a massive creature. Once the energy occumulated, before Akira stood a massive bird with bright green feathers, complimented by a white underbelly, red and gold streakes around his body and in his four massive wings, dark beige beak and legs and a long feathered tail. And on it's forhead, a three-point crest with a bright green jewel. It looked down at Akira's shakened form with a serious, but gentle look in his fiery orange eyes.
Bird: 'Young Akira, I am the one who shall guide you further. I am the Primal Titan of Skies. I go by many names, but my hosts knew me as Ziz, The Feral Wing.'
Akira: 'You're... the great Feral Wing?'
Ziz: 'Just Ziz will suffice. It's a massive honor to finally meet you face to face. I too feel resentment towards the loss of your teacher.'
Akira: *upset* 'Why did he have to die? I... don't understand what to do... and who was that phantom named Ferox?'
Ziz: 'Let me first apologize for your loss, my young friend. You see, ever since Tez bestowed my power to you, he himself has been slowly drained. He asked me to focus on being transfered to you, since he knew this would be his end. It's up to me to guide you, as my new partner.'
Akira just stood on a spot with mournful look. The thought that Tez's life would end either way and no one could do anything was heartbreaking.
Ziz: 'As for Ferox, he's been a massive burden on my numerous hosts. They try to harness the power of both me and also my fellow Titans, Behemoth, Titan of Land and Leviathan, Titan of Sea.'
Akira: 'Some powerhungry showoff- Wait... you said 'they'? There are more of them?'
Ziz: *frowning* 'I'm afraid so. I have no idea what their objective might be, only that they need all three of us. But now we need to wait until you're ready to immerge again.'
Akira: 'When I'm ready?'
Ziz: 'Yes. Back there, you handeled yourself extraordinarily with your new abilities. However, you unleashed a 2nd Phase way too soon. And it took a lot out of you.'
Akira: 'I... think I understand. So... what am I supposed to do, when we're sealed?'
It was a valid question. Since Akira is now sealed in his subconciousness in order to regain his strength back, he didn't know when will he be able to come back. The thought of never seeing everyone again, including Moka, really scared him.
Ziz: *gently* 'Now now, just take it easy, young man. I will stay by your side until we come back. Just take a rest...'
As the Sky Titan's voice faded, Akira felt himself growing very tired. He just curled up and flowted away into the void. It will be some time until he comes back, with a brand new purpose.
(It was at that time I realised my life was not meant to be so uneventful.)
Akira is seen floating in a void while covered in a green aura. He was currently in a deep slumber.
(As a new host for the powerful being of Earthly Balance, I will lead a life of balancing between order and chaos.)
Suddenly, a portal opens up within a void, waking now slightly older Akira from his sleep.
(I may have only one ally for now, but hopefully I'll be able to find more people to put my trust in.)
A slightly still woozy Akira is currently riding on Ziz's back. As the great bird sores through the portal on his four blistering wings, he enters an airspace over an island connected to the mainland by a bridge at nighttime, with a series of buildings between both areas. It looks like a boarding school.
(But in the end, I would find much more then that. Friends for life, both old and new, intense rivalries, adventures of a lifetime and much more.)
Once they get close to the main building with a clock tower, Ziz gets absorbed back into Akira, who now fully awake, once again blasts into a bright green aura and sores through the air. Everyone who's still out sees him as a shooting star.
(I hope I will find my new destiny at this place. Where am I? At the one and only - Yokai Academy.)
""Opening theme:
"Ambiguous" by GARNiDELiA)""
Hey everybody, ArchaRyuDelta in tha house.
This "prologue" was a little test on my writing style. And also to one of my favorite manga EVER.
For now, this is just a concept. But perhaps, something else could come out of it.
