Chapter 5 – Past

Get Stronger.

The voice shook me. I nearly forget about him. It was so long ago when we wrote our vow in our blood. Bound by our souls for eternity…until the curse was over and he would finally be released. My past. My Fate…that was changed that night….

--------Flash back begin------------------

I smelled smoke…I must really be out of my mind! It was just another boring August day of my long summer holiday. All my friends were off somewhere doing their thing. My bro was off at a friend's house while my parents were working. I sighed, deciding to crash downstairs where it would be cool. I ran down to the basement and my foot slipped. I crashed down the fleet of stairs headfirst. Landing on the carpet. I felt myself land. There…was fire?? The floor felt warm and I began to smell the burning…the burning that spread…it was on the carpet…on the junk in the basement…on my hair…on my skin. I could smell it. I could see the smoke. The pain faded then and knew I was burning, on fire. The hurt was gone. I tried to get up but my body wouldn't respond. It must've been the fall on my head…it did damage.

Child… A voice came out of nowhere. I…knew it. I don't know where or when but I knew it.

W-who are you?

I am the father of you. The true one… Please listen to what I have to tell you, for it began at the beginning of time…where the first of your soul was input into a body. The past of you and I.

The story began to unfold…his and mines. At the close beginning of time, when the earth was still young there lived a tiger who was also half human. He had a daughter and she was born in a human state. She possessed powers of their clan that before had only been given to the men of the clan. She was a wonderful soul but twas a dark time…where the dark had just come. She died before her time and her fate was cut off. The devil himself had always loved this child but she was born of both light and dark. She would over throw all but she was closer to the light. So he had to kill her before her time. It was a dark day marked in the ruins in a language only known to their clan. The clan died out and the tiger died a death that bound him to earth. He had watched every reincarnation of his daughter until he found the true one…the closest one. The devil sensed it and was out to kill her with her own powers. She was still young but the tiger could not stand back and watch this go on. He fused with her. They were bound but not fully. Her powers would over throw all evil like it was supposed to. It was her fate. She would be the angel of light, the speaker of the unheard, the girl who would bring hope and peace back, the true child of god, the mixed blood of evil and good, the goddess of her clan, the heir of fire. After so many years later it was time.

That was I. The fire that before had burned me was now dancing around me. I sat up. This was I, there was no other.

Now make our vow. I nodded and knew what to do. I scratched my skin and taking some blood I wrote a word in the air.

As the fire burns and the light has returned

I make our vow that goes down to our souls

As long as our souls exists…

Forever shall we be bound together

In sickness and health…

In good times and bad…

For richer or poorer…

In pain and in sorrow

Until death do us apart

We will be one

As I finished the wedding like vow and whispered in my clan's language. It was official we were one. I was alive and it was as if the fire never happened.

------------End of flashback--------------

That was my past. I was not weak…it was my fear that over took me. I would protect those I cared for. I would not be weak. I would make it home and I would save all our damned souls…and I would end this curse once and for all!

------------------------+++++

"I'm ready," I said to all my friends. They smiled at me.

The scar of the star that Hao had put on me it was my mark. It was a mark. It was now my mark. It was a part of me. I was ready. I wasn't going to be weak anymore. I will be strong to aid the ones I cared for. I remembered our vow. In sickness and health. In good times and bad. For richer and poorer. In pain and in sorrow. Until death do us apart.

I will not die.

I will not die.

REVIEW OR I WILL ANNOY YOU TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!
