The Priestess

IZUKU'S POV

What should I do now ?
I should probably wait here a little bit longer and see how Erie gets better. I'll see if the center can take care of her.
I will leave her in their care.
I know I shouldn't leave her behind since I'm all she have but I can't allow myself to put her in any kind of danger that might be on my way.

I'm a really cursed? Ugh

I need to find some clues, anything for lord's sake.
Anything that might tell me what is my power or even who I am. What kind of situation is this, seems like I'm trying to reach for a mirage or whatever.
It must be around 2 p.m right now or something.
The Kingdom sure gives a vibe of security so it should be okay for now... I guess
I took my hood off then slip under the bedsheets.
I should rest a bit more.

AUTHOR'S POV

He slowly fell asleep when his head touched the soft pillow.

Flashback

Small Izuku was looking at the children playing out the window.

- Can I go play with everyone mom ?

- Oh? Yes, why not.. just be careful. If anything happens call me okay ?

He quickly nods, jumping off the chair he was on then ran outside.
A bit shy at first he waited a little longer. He didn't see the ball that was directed at him until it fell on his head

- Ow, he looked at the ball and joyfully gave it back to the others forgetting his pain - hey ! Let's play together!! Say the little bean happily

- I-I... you can keep the ball, the orange haired boy says taking his friends with him

- Huh ? B-but!! I wanna play with you and everyone! Pwease, he pleaded, following all the kids behind when one of them suddenly snapped

- STOP FOLLOWING US MONSTER !  He pushed him on the dirty ground making little Izuku cry.

Fat tears streaming down his angelic face.

- Tobi let's go home.. tch. Didn't I tell you not to play with this thing ?  A tall woman with long straight orange hair and some brown dyed says pulling her son

Whispers could be heard from every corner. Izuku was surrounded.

"Dangerous" "I don't get why he is alive" "a dishonor.. he might be cursed like his father"  "monster" "the gods are angry because of him"

- mommy, he whimpered- mommy help me

The poor greenette kept hearing those whispers around him. Pushing him in the middle of this dark place. It was so dark he could only see people angry eyes at him, making him shiver. Bringing his knees to his chest, he embrace himself, rocking back and forth.
His long curly green hair hiding his face. He hummed a  lullaby his mother used to sing

?? - dlihc ym siht naht regnorts era ruoy

A soothing and calming voice began to talk. Speaking a language he never heard.

- Who's there?!

-...riya-kun! Midoriya-kun!!? He woke up breathing heavily. Uraraka on his side with a worried expression on her face

- Are you alright? You were shaking

- I..I don't remember, he lied burying his face in his palms.

Not convinced, the brown haired girl was about to ask more but decided not to.

- It's dinner time. Everyone is already down.

- Oh really? I'm sorry for bothering you Uraraka-San

- It's fine.. did you see the clothes a put here ?

- Yeah, it's beautiful

- Its yours

- What b-

- No but ! You will wear it. I choose it you know. Our kingdom has multiple and different type of clothes but our main outfits are clothes like I gave you I'm sure it will fit you put it on. It's one of the trendiest you know ? I'll wait outside.

Not able to place a word the curly green hair just sighs and put on the clothes.

Once he stepped outside, Uraraka gasped

- Woooow !! You're so gorgeous

Izuku was wearing a long soft blue robe divided at the legs showing a glimpse of his unknown tattoo.The tissue was held by an iron belt in a v form, hugging his wide hips perfectly. A jewelry band on his left milky thigh with a one shoulder crop top covering his chest, barefoot he only had ankle chains

Hair tied up into a low ponytail

- HERE WE ARE !!

She open the door loudly and suddenly Izuku was overwhelmed by a wave of happiness he never knew he could ever feel.
The room was full of children, and grownups around his age and more. They were all laughing, screaming and eating joyfully.

The atmosphere was giving him a vibe of being "at home" almost breaking his heart at the thought.
But he smile instead, following his friend between those long tables to sit next to Erie who seems to be in a good mood talking with some kids, when some of them yelled about the festival's coming in a few months

- A festival? What is that ? He says waiting for the lady to answer she would only look at him with shocked face.

- Y-you are... are you serious?  She unconsciously gasped making everyone's eyes avert on them

"Too much attention" the curly hair thought, his face getting hot.

- You are screaming. Can't you see how you are embarrassing the poor boy a woman around Uraraka's age says. She has long earlobes and short dark blue hair and deep dark eyes.

- I'm sorry... B-but Jiro ~ Izuku doesn't know what a festival is

- Then you should just explain it to him instead of embarrassing him she flatly says while sitting next to the other girl.

- I- I was about too.. after dinner you will join us too right ?

The blue haired girl nods while sipping her drink.

- Deal then.. we will talk about this in Izuku's room...but first I wanna know Izuku how was your living in your village?

- Huh ?
