Hanabi's POV

The crimson-haired lady perched on top of the tiled roofs of Iga, unseen and unheard by the bustling city below her.

The cobalt-blue sky in the backdrop twinkled with stars that existed many light-years away; nearer to the mysterious lady, dark purple clouds that blended in with the dark sky appeared among the stars.

The lady used to be an ordinary human, but not anymore.

Her gossamer wings, laced through with black veins and bordered by a crimson pigment that was the exact same shade as her hair, fanned out behind her legs, neatly folded.

Her emerald eyes and curling black feelers that protruded from her forehead, combined with her moth-like wings, showed that she was human, but not.

She used to be an ordinary girl, a ninja in the Scarlet Sect of Iga, but one day, she saw a curious-looking flower in the Enchanted Forest and, out of curiosity,  she touched it.

Fire moths, one of the most dangerous moths in the Land of Dawn due to their ability to burn humans alive, suddenly surrounded her.

However, when they attacked her, she not only didn't die, she transformed into a human version of them.

Terrified of what she had become and still recovering from the shock of her transformation, the girl ran away from Iga, vowing never to return.

Only, she was here, in Iga, five years after her transformation.

Her name was Hanabi, but she did not acknowledge that name as hers, as that ninja girl was part of the past.

She had no name now, but she was known as the Fiery Moth.

As she was perching peacefully on the rooftop, casually surveying the city below her, she saw someone— or something— move on a distant roof.

The Fiery Moth, shocked, immediately sprung up and jumped onto another rooftop, trying to put as much distance between him and her.

There was only one human who knew her in both the past and present. Only one person who knew that she would come here, to Iga.

Hayabusa.

She breathed the word in the air as memories overtook her.

Hayabusa standing up for her when she was bullied, Hayabusa and her laughing under a cherry blossom tree, and on one of the nights like this, perching on a rooftop, drinking matcha tea out of a sake bottle.

And she... having a crush on the red-eyed ninja.

She missed the old times, but she knew that she could never go back, now that she was different.

Trapped in the whirling vortex of her memories, she didn't notice Hayabusa coming closer and closer to the rooftop she was on.

She swore under her breath when she saw the moonlight glint off his metal left arm.

Wait... metal left arm?

Now isn't the time to think about these things! She scolded herself while thinking desperately for a way to escape.

There was only one way to outrun him.

The Fiery Moth leaped up and, with her gossamer wings snapping open behind her, flew up into the starry sky.
