A world comes to an end

The Kingdom of Lothric.

Once brimming with life and powerful knights, is now consumed by death and hollows.

In this dying world, the flow of time is convoluted, heroes from all centuries and worlds are phasing in and out. Time does not truly exist in this plain of existence. It's last remaining warriors trapped, in an endless cycle of life and death.

These warriors have only one goal in their mind. To seek the Lords of Cinder and return them to their thrones. So that the First Flame can be linked and the age of fire can prevail.

But this story is not about a hero who saved the world from it's destruction, but about warrior who brought the age of dark. So this eternal curse of the first sin can finally be lifted.

Kiln of the First Flame

* THUD *

Exhausted the Ashen One fell to his knees with, his sword sinking into the ground.

'It is done, it is finally over.' Thought the warrior, as he felt the power of the Soul of Cinder entering his broken body.

Slowly but surely, the Ashen One stood up again and walked to the last and final Bonfire.

He looked around the destroyed Battlefield. The ashen ground held many craters and ditches, created during their mighty battle. Not even the Dreg Heap mountain was spared from their wrath.

It was cut in half from top to bottom.

In front of him he saw the summoning sign of the Firekeeper and called upon her. From a weak and white light, the firekeeper's Form emerged. The Ashen One just watched as the Firekeeper walked towards the bonfire. Kneeling down she gently picked up the last embers of the First Flame.

Almost instantly the world around them darkened. The only light that now existed was the dying Flame in her hands.

''The First Flame quickly fades. Darkness will shortly settle.'' The Ashen One said nothing as the Firekeeper spoke in a calm and soothing voice. ''But one day tiny flames will dance across the darkness. Like embers linked by lords past.'' she continued. The Fire grew smaller and smaller and in response the world around them became darker and darker until nothing could be seen anymore. The Darksign in the sky has vanished. The world can finally rest. Now only their breathing could be heared.

Before the Knight closed his eyes for good, he heared the Firekeeper ask one last question.

''Ashen One, hearest thou my voice still ?''

He just acknowledged the question with a single humm. Over the many years he lived he stopped talking, since all the friends he made in his life are now either dead or slain by his sword. In his eyes the knight had simply nothing left to say.

'It's over. Now I c... we can rest.' One last time he tried to remember what his name is, but without success. And yet certain memories lasted in the back of his head for thousands of years. Memories that existed before he was an undead.

''Do u think I can be a hero too?'' 'A hero? Hah! How laughable.' Killing gone mad friends. Killing warriors, who wanted to keep the cycle going. Killing almost every living and breathing being, so truly no one will try to link the Flame ? What kind of hero does that?

''Sorry kid. It's not gonna happen. You're quirkless.'' said an old man in white clothing. 'Quirkless? What is that supposed to mean again?'

''I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!'' said a young crying woman with the same green hair and eyes like his own. 'Sorry for what? And why do we look so similar?'

Why is he trying to so hard remember? He doesn't know. And it doesn't matter anyway at this point.

The darkness finally engulfed him and soon he knew no more.

His body

Dagobah Munical Beach Park

2:00am

Ashen One P.O.W.:

I didn't know when it happened but soon I heard a sound. My eyelids are still heavy and tried to identify that sound.'Is that water?It sure sounds like it.' He tried to focus more and then smelt the rot in the air.'What is that weird smell. I can tell it's bad but not as bad as hundreds of corpses decaying in blood and feces.*sigh* I feel so damn tired.'

Soon I lost focus again and thought '. Better go sleep again.'

Dagobah Munical Beach Park

13:00pm

P.O.W.:?

''This day was more miserable then the other ones before.''I mumbled as I walked aimlessly along the sidewalk to wards my secret spot at Dagobah beach. ''First my alarm clock died in the middle of the night, and got to late to her highschool because of that. Then after normal nickname calling like: ''Hey Ugly!'' or ''Hey dragonvillian, killed any heroes today?!'' or ''Ah here comes the future Nr.1 Villain.''

''It's not like it's my fault for looking like a black dragon.'' I muttered''All this ridicule just because of my quirk Dragon Heritage.'' I thought. After that the day went on like normal. ''But then we had to discuss our future plans and the damn teacher just had to say, that I want to be come a hero and go to U.A. university the best heroine school in Japan.''I thought. Everyone laughed at that, except for me and an another girl. Since i am used to this kind of bullshit my whole life. Katsumi on the other hand, was just stunned into silence after hearing this sentence. In her eyes my dream of being a heroine is insulting to her worldview which in turn pisses her of because of it .

It was after the classes that the real disaster came. The class was empty and only myself, Bakugo and her two lackeys remained. A delusional rant of queen bitch and a explosion to my face and she left me alone. It didn't hurt since my scales can simply shrug it off But before that slut left she said:

''If you want to be a hero that badly you damn villain, then pray hard enough that you will be born with a better quirk in your next life and take swan dive of the roof!'' At the moment I said nothing and Bakugo and her lackeys left me. But then I couldn't help myself anymore and broke down crying silently to myself.

'I'm already struggling enough with with my anxiety. If people start trying to bait me into suicide, then I don't know if i could handle it on a daily bases. I only have my mother and she already is working non stop to provide for the both of us. Not having friends isn't really helping either.

Now I'm almost there at my secret „hideout".

It's just a huge dumpster nowadays, there for it's the best place if you want to be left alone with your own thoughts.

(General P.O.W.)

The girl walked down the stairs towards the beach and then between 2 gigantic mountains of trash directly into a little 5m x 5m clearing. On the left side was an old armchair with an shed like roof above it. It was the only thing there since, she cleaned this spot herself not so long ago. She set her favorite red and black school bag down and accidentally ripped a large hole in it with her claws.

* Sob *

She started crying again. With entire chaos she had to endure for the day, this was the last straw. She wailed and cried as loud as she could since no one was there. All the anger, frustration, sadness and selfhate.

She is crying it all out.

A can, that fell from one of trash mountains, fell to the ground right in front the lonely dragongirl. In her anger she picked it up and threw it with such a force against same hill it came from and the pile became unstable.

The young woman got spooked backed slightly away from it. As the hill collapsed, her blood red slitted eyes stared up in panic and fear. Not by her strength that she just demonstrated, she trained after all.

No it was the thing underneath the garbage pile that revealed itself.

A gigantic menacing looking knight armor, it's head looked towards the ground, right where she was standing at. The helmet had spikes, on each side of his head. The tips were pointing backwards and came together at the forehead like arrowhead pointing forwards. At the back of it's head is a red, hair like appendage falling backwards to it's neck. It didn't help that the visor resembles of bared sharp fangs. The torso makes one think of an armored dragon chest. Upper arms and legs are protected by a worn down chain mail armor. Underneath the chain mail, the arms and legs are covered in plated armour, resembling dragon scales. Hands and wrists are covered by slim but strong Irongauntlets that protect it's wearer. The footwear resembling human feet but with extremely sharp toes.

''AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!''

She screamed and leaped without hesitation behind a broken car, thinking it was a villain.

...

Some moments passed and she peaked slightly out behind her cover, realising that the heap of metal was just sitting there with it's arms to the ground. Only now she noticed how big that thing was and stared up in wonder.

''Holy shit that armor could be taller then the Dragoonhero Ryukyu in her a dragon form. And she is almost 6 meters tall!'' But those thoughts left her, as she got a weird feeling from it.

Like it was staring at her.

Slowly but surely, the young woman walked towards it. And then she did the weirdest thing ever in her life.

''Ehm, hi I'm Sasaki Ichika and you are ?''
