Smoke and mirrors volume 1

shattered past

y/n sat in the class room thinking to himself his past burned into his memory it haunted him like a phantom he still has nightmares to this day about it, the teen rested his head in his head and begin to drift off into slumber his head slowly slid out of his hand and hit the desk 

12 years ago

blood covered his eyes a lone man stood his ground protecting his son he had two katanas in each hand and one in his mouth he had two scars one across his chest and one on his left he and behind him was a young y/n the mans eye looked over to his son then back in front of him silence filled the air but also bloodlust could be seen in his eye the man stood his ground katanas ready to good

???: the queen just want to a talk with you thats all

swordsman: yeah right like hell ill go along with you scorpion bastard

???: sad guess well have to take you by force zoro

Zoro: hey brat listen to me and listen to me well dont skip on your training and find yourself a nice girl and remember to make friends who will have your back and never back down from a fight protect those you care for now go

Y/n: b-but

Zoro: GO GET OUT OF HERE AND DONT LOOK BACK!

with that last push y/n ran tears ran down his face as he ran he trips and stumble and recovers running farther and farther away from the fight rain pours down on y/n drenching him and his clothes as he looks back he fall down a hill rolling down and hitting his hand on a tree y/n slowly got up and slowly walked his way to a building full of kids his age he pass out on the ground then the dream ends y/n awakes drool came out of the side of his mouth the teen heard the bell and y/n gets up from his seat

Y/n: i had that dream again damn 

as y/n walked a red haired girl walked up next to him she moved from one sided to another and y/n had a slight irriteted look on his face the girl was asking questions about him and everything the boy let out a long sigh he didnt want to deal with this he looked at the girl

Y/n: make friend that will have your back alright ill do that just like you said and ill keep traning just like you said then ill find you just you wait old man by the time you see me ill be stronger then even you

From out side in a tree there sat a lone girl who ate ice cream and and a smile on her face seeing her old friend being pumped up she then gets down from the tree and walks away from the acadamy humming to herself
