The Lord Of The Forest | Nature Deku Au

The Flat Stone | Chapter 1

"Speaking" 'Thinking'

Midoriya Izuku, a normal boy that lived in a city named Musutafu for a small four years of his life. A normal family that lived in happiness, a mother with green hair and emerald eyes, his father a head of white hair and splendid red eyes that matched his strange powers to breath fire.

His family was considered normal, nothing too special. They were even in the middle class of society, all in all, they were average citizens living within Japan. Things were completely normal for them. Izuku was just turning four. He hopped around excitedly, hoping to receive similar powers that both his mother and father had. 

On the morning of his birthday however, something changed within the family. More so, something changed with him. When he'd woken up, he wasn't in his bed. He looked around, it was cold and the surface he was laying on was hard and rough to the skin. He grazed a finger across the surface and noticed it was rock. He lifted his body from the stone and noticed he wasn't at home, of course he'd known this as soon as he felt he wasn't in bed.

His mom and dad were no where to be seen, instead all that met his eyes were trees and the sound of calm rushing water. He was laying on a large flat rock in the middle of a small river. It moved softly, small fish roamed around the water, he looked around and noticed the sun was just going up. 

"Mama?" He spoke out as he looked around for any chance of spotting another person. He sniffled and his eyes began to water, there was no response, all that he could hear was little insects and the sounds of birds. The water that rippled here and there from bugs disturbing the surface and strange little rustling from around the woods. He stood, noticing little scrapes on his body. He dusted himself off and looked into the water. He was in shock as he looked at his face, it was full of dirt, but that wasn't what startled him. He brought a hand up to his head, in which grazed against small horns that resembled that of..., goat horns?

His ears were different too, small feathers? No that wasn't it, there were feathers covering the spot where his ears were, almost like they were shielding his ears. He touched them and noticed the vibration being sent through his temple as he felt the feathers. They were gray with bits of black, white, and brown.

He turned and looked around once more, noticing his body had changed a bit. He even had a tail. What kind of power could have possibly done this to him. He's not even a single animal but multiple. He's never heard of an animal with feathers for ears and goat horns before, let alone a long tail that looked like a lemur's, however was a lot larger and fluffier.

He looked at his hands and feet, noticing the difference. They were still his normal hands, but his nails were different, stronger and harder then normal human fingernails. He brought his hand against the flat stone he remained on, grazing the nail against it. He noticed as the rock actually chipped from the sharpness of the nail. He looked in shock at it, what on earth was he. Even his feet were like this, the nails being sharp and sturdy, they were almost like having a weapon, he also noticed the slight webbing of his feet, he looked at his hands, but they weren't the same. 

He looked back into the water, the stream showing him his eyes, even they were a tad different. A second eyelid would at times cover his eyes. The inner corner was fairly sharp looking and a rim of black that resembled eye liner made his eyes look like a birds.(<- Resembles Hawks, the heroes, eyes.) He looked around, his eyes were no doubt stronger, he remembered always having trouble seeing too far. Everything about him was different, even his sense of smell changed, he could smell himself and almost everything around him. Maybe that was why he wasn't scared... He looked at himself, his body was definitely strange, not only that, he had no idea where he was, but he wasn't afraid.

He looked around once more, listening to the sounds all around him. A small sound of a branch snapping caught his attention. His eyes flew in that direction and he noticed a tiny fox looking at him. It was red and looked scared. He tilted his head in the animal's direction, but to the animal, he no doubt looked like an abomination of nature...

The fox looked like an infant, usually they'd stay by the mother wouldn't they? He looked at the fox and sat back down on the flat rock. The water all around him made it difficult to want to walk to the shore. He wasn't interested in getting wet, though a thought came to mind, he looked back at his feet, he wasn't even wearing shoes.

Could he have been moved here when he was in bed. Did his mom and dad even know that he was missing? He looked back towards the fox and noticed it was coming closer to him. Its eyes not daring to leave his form however, it moved to the river and began to drink. Izuku looked at it in interest. He wasn't part fox, or at least not that he could tell. Izuku noticed the softness of his tail, the fur was soft and long, fluffier then anything he'd ever felt, and it almost felt like having a blanket wrapped around you.

He sighed and looked around, ignoring the flinch of the fox at his movement. He wanted to speak, but he already knew that animals didn't speak the human language, maybe he'll learn their language later on. He is part animal now after all.

(Eyes of an eagle, ears of an owl, a long tail that resembles a lemur's, however is more similar to that of a spider monkey's since it's strong enough to hang from, horns of a goat, claws of a lion, webbed feet of an otter, teeth of a shark(Still in the format of human teeth though), his skin, although still resembling a normal human, feels scaly similar to that of a crocodile, and the nose although not actually resembling the animal, his sense of smell rivals that of an African elephant.) (Pretty much taking each of the strongest characteristics of animals and placing it onto his body, there are also other characteristics that I didn't mention, they may or may not be revealed later on.)

(Also, a point that he'll find out later on, his hands spew the webbing of a Darwin spider. He in fact does have gills, however doesn't find out until later on, also the teeth of a shark isn't the only thing he'd received from the animal, his stomach belongs to a great white shark as well, being one of the most powerful stomachs out there. I believe I'll add more since he's as said in the story, pretty much a freak of nature that holds a lot of the strongest qualities of animals.)
