Chapter 1
Spike remembered that tragic day like it was only yesterday. The sorrow and grief overwhelmed him so much as he sat there in the ditch right next to the deserted road. He was all alone. His family....his friend....his entire village...and his girlfriend.... Everything was at lost. Nothing was left for him in his life. It was only him and his water rune that he was born with. He had to carry this around with him always on his arm.
Spike didn't know what to do with himself. He couldn't take care of himself either. There was no where to stay, nothing to eat. He was cold. The only fortunate thing he had was water which he was able to produce for himself to drink from his water rune. He just kept getting lost in himself with the thoughts of losing everything all in one night
He kept recalling the very events....
Suddenly having been woken up from a peaceful, quiet night by yells of fright and chaos. Flames and every other natural elements were pouring down on the small and serene village. He had ran out of his house, his family also managed to escape their flaming house too. Then Spike instantly thought about his girlfriend Hayi and her safety. He immediately ran to see if she was safe from danger.
Although he found that she was trapped in her room of her family's burning down house. That night got darker, only lit by lights of dangers. The lights of fire and thunder which killed other beings. Spike ran into the house to save his girlfriend, but wasn't able to rescue her in th end. It was too late as he found that she was beening swallowed up by something dark and mysterious. Then she was gone in seconds.
Spike wanted to fight this devourer to release her, but it vanished in mere seconds. Then Spike was caught in the room as it was full of fire. He had no other option but to jump out of Hayi's bedroom window. He managed to escape just in time before the entire house collapsed entirely to the ground.
Except when he reached the grounds, there were hardly any grounds left to stand on. All the people in the village were gone too, including his family. They all feel into the ground and got killed by the lava pit below. Spike was the only one who remained, and the ground kept caving into the lava pit.
Spike had ran away, shooting water blasts at the fireballs that were chasing him. It was a very long night and it all seemed like a blur. Spike wasn't even sure how he escaped that ordeal. Just the next thing he knew, he had woken up in this ditch off of some road in the middle of nowhere. Why was he here? How did he get here?
Behind him he heard a couple of people discussing something with each other. They looked over at Spike once they noticed that he had awoken from unconsciousness. One of these two were a tall, built man with brownish-blonde hair. He looked older than the young girl who had pigtails in her hair and was also wearing a cute smile upon her face once she looked towards Spike.
The man spoke instead of the girl. He asked Spike if he was alright. Spike barely managed a nod. He felt like dying there and now. In a way, he kind of hoped that these two were bad people. There to kill him right away. He didn't want to live anymore. He had nothing more to live for anyways. Spike actually got his first words out to these two too. "Kill me..."
They both had confused expressions on their face. What was all this about? The man suddenly laughed after the serious confusion. He knew that the boy was still delusional from whatever happened previous before they had found him. He bent down and helped Spike to his feet.
Once he had Spike supported to a stand, with the aid of the girl on the other side of him. The man then spoke some more. "Don't worry boy. You're in good hands now. I'm Goy and this is my daughter Jola. Come with us because your life is about to change!"
