A dream. I know I'm in a dream. I'm standing in a field. Everything's peaceful. I take a few deep breaths and enjoy to calmness of it all. Suddenly a cracking sound disrupts the peace. I turn around and see a city burning and crumbling. Alone I stand in a field watching the world slowly burn. The river I can see evaporates almost instantly. Metal skyscrapers are melting and covering the people below in molten steel, killing them almost instantly. I feel immobilized, I can barely breath. Suddenly the entire city explodes outward. Several chunks of buildings and metal fly past me. A large creature stands up out if the ashes and rubble if once was a massive city. I blink and see all my friends, everyone I know laying dead in front of me. A slight breeze hits me as my eyes widen. The creature laughs in a voice I've never heard before. It's deep and rugged. Definitely demonic. "Boy, this is the end of this plain of existence. I don't know how you see me, but you can't stop the flames that follow me. They consume all and leave nothing but death, destruction, and ash." It says. It's words rattle my bones. It leans down and stares at me from a few feet away. It has a large black eye with a red slit. As I laughs once more I jolt awake. I look around and I still hear it's laughter. I shake my head as I stand up out of bed. I look around and Azura suddenly appears in front of me. "Heyy." She says smiling. "Ready to train some more?" She asks as I stare at her. She laughs. "I have some things to do so I'm gonna let you train with a friend of mine." Azura says as I nod. She snaps her fingers and a girl with long white hair appears. She has a purple jacket and white undershirt. She's wearing black pants and boots. We stare at each other for a moment before I sense her energy. I smile as I shake my head. "How are you here?" I ask as she smiles back. "Azura felt like I should help speed train you." She says as I smile. "Is that so, Snow?" I mumble as we both smile. Azura turns the room back into the training room then vanishes. "Alright Kai, I've grown stronger since I died the first time. Azura brought me back to life and trained me for a month or so." As I start to summon my sword, Snow appears in front of me with her sword pressed lightly against my throat. She pulls away as I summon Evony. "Let's fight with our 3rd releases." She says as I nod. Instantly a ball of white energy surrounds her. The ball explodes and pushes me back a few feet. I see she has 2 large white wings, white eyes, and white claws. I enter my third release. My hair turns black and white and falls down over my eyes. I pull my hair back and smile. I start to run towards her, but I get hit before my foot even hits the ground. I get knocked back against the wall. As I blink I see her appear in front of me. Her sword pierces my shoulder. I wince slightly then grab her wrist. I kick her in the rib bit she barely moves. The hell, it barely did anything. I think as she smiles. "I'm not the person you remember." She says while smiling. I barely move my head to the side as she punches the wall and cracks it. "Are you sure you're using a 3rd release?" I ask as she puts her hand on the side of my face. She quickly pulls me off the wall the throws me across the room. Before I can even react I'm getting knocked back and forth between walls. My eyes can't keep up with how fast I'm moving through the air. Less than a second in between each time I hit a wall, or get hit. I can't tell what's happening. It's slowly starting to hurt more. Suddenly I get pinned to the ground. Everything is spinning majorly but I can see her sword is piercing my chest. I don't feel any pain but I feel liquid running down my lip and nose. "Kai, the reason I'm so much stronger than I used to be. Azura gave me 1 percent of her energy to bring me back and be like a guard or spy. I am just a reincarnated pawn in a sort. I owe my life to Azura and I'd do anything for her. I'm not the same, cheery, weak, and pitiful person I was when I died for you. I have enough power to not die for people, but kill for them. I've already beaten 4 elder spirits." She says as I hear Yaguya sigh. "Kai, let me have control of your body. I'm getting sick of this girl." I hear him say as I silently agree. I lose control of my body but I feel a immense surge of energy rush forward. I feel my muscles and bones ripping and breaking from the huge strain on my body. Snow starts to pull her sword out but suddenly I grab her throat and before I can blink I've slammer her against the ceiling. Her eyes widen as I feel her shaking. I can't even speak. I quickly throw her to the ground and cracks appear 20 feet around where she hits the ground. Suddenly I grow 4 huge white wings. Blood drips from my eyes, nose, lip, and ears as more energy flows through me. "I've had enough of being treated like I'm weak. I'm the demon god Yaguya, and you will bow before me!" I yell. Yaguya. Is a demon god!? I think as I try to regain control. I see Snow bleeding profusely and she's in her base form. I start flying toward her. No! I think as I regain control of one arm. I punch myself in the face and knock myself unconscious. Again in the darkness. I see a man with 4 large white wings and white hair. "Kid, I'm impressed. Not many have the willpower to take back control, especially from a demon gods grasp. But really? Hitting yourself to save her? You know she had every intent to kill us?" He says as I shake my head. "No, she wouldn't do that." I say as he frowns. "So be it, ignorance wins this battle, but just because this bores me. If you need me, I'll be here." He says as he vanishes." I look at my hands. "Was she going to kill me? And was Yaguya actually going to kill her?"
