Mayura's POV

'A curse that's what you call it, a monster, she's a witch. Don't ever get near her!'

Is has always been like that, I was never accepted by everyone, why does it have to be me? All I want is an ordinary life with my Mother and Rokuro, pleasing everyone everyday, I can't even do that. All they do is run away when I'm near them.

"Eat up Mayura, the foods getting cold", my mom said as she was washing the dishes, our house is small and quiet, its always at peace, not until Rokuro will burst in the door and yelled to call out my name. I sighed and a minute too soon, just like always.....

The door slammed, revealing a person with rooky hair and red eyes. "Mayura!!!", he yelled as my mom approached him and disciplined him with a smack on the head. That's gotta hurts.... "Rokuro, how many times do I have to tell you! Don't slam the door and shout in the house!", My mom scold Rokuro as he laugh awkwardly. "Sorry, Sorry", Rokuro assured my mom as she sighed in response and went back to washing the dishes. Oh Rokuro..... I sighed again as I stood from the chair.

Rokuro lived in the village beside us whereas, my Mom and I lived in a little house in the forest hiding from other villagers. Because of my vision that can see the shadows that attacked us for centuries or so we call "Kegare". People always say it was a cursed and treated me like I'm one of those Kegare. My mom always told me its something special but she wouldn't tell me the reason of me having this kind of power. I always feel frustrated when I'm alone but I lived through it and now I'm used to it. "Mayura?", Rokuro mumbled as he wave his hand in front of my face causing me to flinched. "Rokuro! Don't do that!", I furiously spoke as he replied. "Well don't spaced out like that". I sighed, what's the point of defending, he once in a while got a point out of me.

I walked to my room and grab my cloak, you wanna know why? Its because people know me very well if I'm cursed because of my hair, but for mom, she's fine showing her hair but feels uneasy to show it in public. I put my cloak on me and covered the hood to my head. Normally, I would walked to the forest and sometimes would be home with some ingredients like mushroom and stuff. But today was different, I will visit the village in disguised with Rokuro, why did I do this again? Oh right, because I lost to the bet Rokuro and I challenged ourselves when we we're bored. I sighed again as I walked to the door which Rokuro is leaning on. "Ready to go?", he asked as he smiled whereas myself nodded in response. "Take care", my mom assured me as we went on our way.

And off we went to the village, the forest is peaceful and greenish, I love the aroma of the beautiful flowers around me, I really like to explore more in the forest but thanks to the bet, I have to go to Rokuro's village in disguise. But deep down, there's something around us that makes me feel uneasy. Unfortunately, Rokuro's village is closer than I imagined, its location is between the border of the western and southern area of the kingdom, either southern or western soldiers will come if we needed help.

Starry Sky Kingdom is my home, my country. It is divided into five capitals, in each direction there's one capital but its main is in the central. Its known to be the most powerful country throughout the many empires that surround it. But actually, there's a legend believed by many in this kingdom, of why did it became the most powerful? Or something but I haven't given much thought about it because its just a legend, no one is sure if it is real or some made up story. "Mayura, your spacing out again", Rokuro said annoyingly as I respond. "Sorry". He sighed and continued. "Anyway we're here", he look at a distance in front of us as I follow my gaze to our view in front of us and what I saw was his village.

We approached the village quietly, not minding the people looking at me or Rokuro. Just like it or not, I have no choice but to explore the village for the whole day, it was simple, peaceful but lively. I smiled just a little as I observed the village men and women and also the children do their daily work. Until......... Someone bumped into me, causing me to fall. "It hurts", I groaned as the person who bumped into me lend his hand onto me and replied. "Sorry", that's it? I thought for sure this person would say something more than that. I can't tell either this person here was a boy or a girl because the person is also wearing a cloak. I grab this person's hand and tried to stood and I did. "Um, thanks", I thanked the person and he\she nodded in response. That next thing I knew, the person left. There that person goes.

It took time until it was sunset, and when the dark comes, who knows what might happen. And addition, there's been bothering me in my mind. I can't make sure if it was me or the power I was born with. Rokuro walked me back to through the forest until I reached my home at a distance, something was different in my surroundings and thanks to my power or what they call a cursed, I can sense any Kegare coming but that can't happen because there's no way they can enter the walls of our kingdom that easily. Me and Rokuro said our farewells and I walked a little bit to my house.

When I arrived, the house was a mess, it was almost abandon, all the plates and glasses seemed like it was broken or thrown but something caught my attention, WHERE'S MOM? Oh no if I'm not mistaken, I doubted my powers, if their were a kegare how could it enter the walls, I ran in every part of the house but she was nowhere to be found, I tried not to cry and the worst case scenario happened, I saw smoke coming from a distance, it was almost like it came from the village.

I ran out of my house to the forest and until I came to a close, the village was burning in fire, I kneeled down to the ground with disbelief, how could this happened, I tried to stood and ran to the houses that is burning, no one is there, everyone is gone, I ran and ran to find someone, anyone.

Not long enough, I got exposed by the smoke and I started to cough, this is bad, how could this happened? Where is everyone? Where is Mom? Where is Rokuro? With a weak body, I ended tripping at my own feet, inside the burning village, Am I going to die here? There's a lot I got to accomplished at a age like this,

With blurry vision, I saw a figure of a person walking towards me as I closed my eyes in fear and exhaustion as the world grew black.

The last thing I felt was warmth.
