(Backstory Chapter!!! First of many!!!)


Age 7

I was sitting under a Sakura tree our village was known for these trees, I loved watching the pedals fall down slowly and land on the ground, one manages to land in my snow white hair. It was peaceful, one of my favorite things were these pedals.

???: Howai!!!

Howai: Teresa, what do you want?

Teresa: Big brother, I want to go play outside!!!

Howai: Then, go outside.

Teresa: I want you to go with me!!!

I get up and brush the pedals off me, I put my hand on Teresa's head and ruffle her white hair.

Howai: Uh fine. Let's go.

Teresa and I head outside of our house and travel across the cobble road into the market area and find a friend of our dad standing next to his fruit stand.

Teresa: Pablo!!!

Pablo turned to look at us in amusement.

Pablo: Oh Teresa and Howai good to see you.

Howai: Hey Pablo how's everything?

Pablo: Pretty good, how's Franklin?

Howai: Dad's doing pretty good, still farming.

Pablo: Is your mother feeling any better?

Howai: No she's still sick.

Pablo: Oh i'm sorry to hear that, here both of you take an apple.

Teresa: THANKS!

Teresa then took a apple from Pablo and jogged around in glee, Pablo handed me one.

Pablo: Here you go Howai, I'm sorry to hear about your mother-

Howai: Huh?

Pablo: Shh, Teresa! Get over here.

Teresa: Okay.

Teresa ran over to us and Pablo pointed to under his stand.

Pablo: Hide there and don't leave there until I tell you too.

Howai: O-Okay.

Teresa kept her head down while I peaked over to see Pablo acting as if nothings happening, I look in front of him and see 3 soldiers in black armor with a helmet that covers everything including there eyes with a visor, there mouths are the only thing visible. They have a furry black coat, They each are holding a sword made from some black metal, There surrounding a man wearing the same armor as them but with a silver trim, no helmet and a white fur cape, He had slicked back orange hair, green eyes and a scar running down from his left eye to a little past the crook of his nose, he had silver earrings on and didn't appear to have any weapons on him. The man walked up to a bread stand and spoke to the bread salesman.

Orange: You there.

Bread man: Ahh, C-Commander Krail, w-what a pleasure to see you here.

Krail: Save it, were just here to check up on the market, you know anything could happen depending on how I feel.

Bread man: *Gulp. W-Well I hope everything is up to tip top s-shape here.

Krail: We'll see. GUARDS!

Guards: YES COMMANDER KRAIL!!!?

Krail: Search the markets at once.

Guards: YES COMMANDER KRAIL!!!
