Chapter One - Origin

━━━･❪ ஐ ❫･━━━

i. The world started with darkness

Fourteen years ago marked one of the most historical events that had ever happened in the history of jujutsu sorcery. One was the birth of the Gojo heir who inherited two of his clan's powerful abilities. A child that distorted the world's balance and inevitably became a target for frequent assassinations by those who don't wish to be under the existence of such power. The second one was the arrival of the child of darkness from one of the most infamous yet overlooked clan, the Asakura.

Any sorcerer worth their salt or at least, anyone who put in the effort to study the sorcery clans that basked in power in the past would know that the Asakura clan had a glory-filled history. They were revered for their ability but also feared for it. Of course, their nature is often represented as sly people with manipulative tendencies. This made people to speculate that they would eventually turn their backs against humanity and harm what they once swore to protect. The Asakura clan can easily make people submit to their will and that is enough of a threat to segregate the clan from the others - to ensure the public's security and prove the clan's loyalty, they said. And this was only the start of the clan's downfall. Despite being feared, the society can't just let go of their valuable power.

For decades, they took advantage of the clan and put on a façade that tricked them into collectively believing that they held the Asakura in high regards and assigned the most dangerous missions because they're "the only ones who can preserve the peace." They were an anomaly that have its use but also must be watched else they'll strike back. They were deemed a threat - too much for them to handle. This is what turned their reputation as a relatively quiet clan, into a group of savages that dwelled in chaos and lived in the most secluded parts of Japan. This reputation will soon lead to mistrust and suspicion between the Asakura and the future generation of other clans.

And fall, they did. The members of the Asakura clan were sent on suicide missions or borderline hopeless cases with the least chances of survival. They were manipulated into sharing their clan's secret in training young sorcerers and exploited information that were supposed to be strictly wrapped up. It wasn't even a secret that other clans arranged marriages with the Asakura, not with the thought of an alliance, but in an attempt to manifest Helm within their ranks - to finally have the prized ability of the Asakura clan. It was always a question on why and how the clan didn't realize earlier that they were only being used. They were only able to snap out of it when their numbers dwindled down to the point that they have no choice but for full-blooded Asakura to repopulate with civilians, or those who have no connection to sorcerer clans and doesn't have any ulterior motives. This meant that their abilities also decreased in power as their blood mixed with others. It went on until Helm became akin to a myth within the sorcerer society - a mere legend of their once mighty era. They turned from an intimidating force to dispensable mob characters; one that can easily disappear in the background.

How ironic that a clan known for their ruthlessness in battle and the ability to control is being manipulated by everyone around them. It's a shameful history that every Asakura members would carry to their graves. Currently, they produce jujutsu sorcerers with solid form, impressive agility and quite notable weapon wielding skills but nothing impressive to be known in the present era anymore. Their glory was nothing but a shadow of the past.

That is, until the birth of the future heir that tipped the balance of the world and the clan's hierarchy and also rivaled the esteemed child from the Gojo clan. Her birth led to the new era of the clan.
