Chapter 1
A boy clad in a kimono was walking through the forest. He stopped and sighed, running a hand through his white hair.
"Timcanpy, haven't I told you to stop flying in circles around my head? You're making me dizzy." The fifteen-year-old said, grabbing hold of the golden object and stuffing it in his sleeves.
He continued walking until he saw a clearing. He looked up at the sky just in time to see the last ray of light disappear.
"I guess I should rest here for the night."
"Just die already!" Allen snapped his head up in shock. Without thinking clearly, he rushed to where he last heard the voice. A man with a ponytail was charging at a kid with a sword, killing intent evident from the luck in his eyes.
"Stop! No!" Allen shouted as he moved between the man and the kid to intercede. The man froze, barely inches from slicing Allen's body in half.
"Out of the way," the man, who looked like he wanted to kill Allen, spat out.
Allen paid no heed to his words and tried to keep as calm as possible. "What were you thinking, charging at a child like that?"
Said child smirked behind Allen and transformed into a monster beyond imagination. The man widened his eyes, caught off guard and pushed Allen out of the way.
"Oi, what do you think you're…" Allen froze midsentence, unable to form any coherent thoughts at the sight before him.
"Demon," he muttered, which was gone unheard by the man.
The man let out a war cry and went for the obvious kill, going for its opening which the demon had failed to guard while basking in its overconfidence.
It let out a cry of agony as it froze into ice before shattering to pieces.
"What are you?" Allen asked, shivering uncontrollably. Just as the man was about to answer, Allen gasped as an acute pain shot through him, leaving him completely paralyzed. The man seemed to notice and right when he was about to speak, Allen collapsed completely on the forest floor and let out a scream that sent shivers down his spine.
"AHH…!"
