The Rare Hybrid [Completed]

Ch 10 - The Gods

•^• Izuku's P.O.V •^•

"Welcome to our realm, Midoriya Izuku."

Those words greeted me in this pure white space. It looked as if I were sitting upon a cloud way up high, but I had no reason to suspect that that's where this was. An unknown place that my kind visited. A place where our Gods watched from and guided us along our path in life. I gazed up, my eyes catching sight of nothing but the snow white expanse that  I know sat upon. "Hello?" I called out, pushing myself to my feet as I gazed around the area, searching for anyone, anything that wasn't just this white mass. "I need some help. We all do! Can you please help us? I'll do anything!" It was silent for a few moment, before a deep chuckle filled the air, warmth filling their tone.

"There is nothing to worry about, my dear boy. We'll help you however you need be." The deep voice boomed throughout the area, but all I felt was relief.

"Please. My kin, our kin are being slaughtered out there! We can't do anything about it. Those hunters are finding us and killed us all! Is there anything you can do to stop it?" I pleaded, taking a shaky step forward in the white mass. Though my heart felt heavy, I was weightless up here.

"May I ask, do you know the reasoning behind this? It would seem that your marking has appeared. This means that a taboo has been broken. I must know what it is before I can do anything, I'm afraid. Depending on the crime, that'll change our action up upon this matter."

I opened my mouth to reply, but an older voice joined the first. "Don't be so harsh on the boy. Listen here. No matter the crime, we'll help you. We can't just let our kin die now, can we?"

"T-thank you! U-Umm, the taboo though... I recently found out what it was... my mother..." I choked on the words that wanted to come out. I bit my tongue and swallowed a lump in my throat. I had to push through this if I ever wanted some kind of help. "She committed a sin long ago, having fallen in love with a human man. But she pleaded, begged to be forgiven! I was sure that her pleas were answered, and would stop this from happening!" I took in a deep breath. "When I found out, it must've affected an agreement that she had with you all. And that caused our marks to appear and being the hunters right to us. I don't want any more death on my hands because of what I found out. So please, if there's anything you can do, please help us! I'll do anything if I have to. I just want to save my kin."

It went quiet for a few seconds, which seemed to stretch on for hours to me. I bowed my head and kept it bowed, fiddling with the hem of my shirt before the deep voice appeared once more. "I see. Hmm..." he hummed in thought, and I felt my heart begin the sink. I held back tears as I waited for a reply. "That certainly reminds me. I remembered Midoriya Inko conserving conceiving a child with her human husband. But yes, we did forgive her for sin. It seems we overlooked something like this happening. We should be able to help." I almost collapsed in relief.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you so much! Is there anyway I can repay you for this?" I exclaimed, looking up at where I believed they were through the white mass that surrounded me. The older voice merely chuckled.

"We don't need anything to be repaid. Just as long as our kin continue to live on, that's all we want. Now turn back, and we'll help you out when you get there. And before you know it, everyone will be safe once more."

I bowed, clutching at my chest as I thanked them over and over again. It felt like I would burst from relief and thankfulness towards these Gods. And as if with a wave of a hand, it was as if I fell through the floor and vanished into nothingness, only the voices of chirping birds greeted my ears. But I just laid there, staring up at the sky as grey clouds started to form. Rain started to fall, assaulting my face with droplets as the light dimmed, darkness washing over me and the mountain. I closed my eyes as thunder echoed in the distance, lighting striking down near the mountain side. My head rolled to the side, foggy and filled with static. I laid there for what felt like forever as the rain fell around me, drenching me and irritating me, while also being quiet soothing. So I stayed there, waiting, for what? I didn't exactly know. I felt a phantom pain in my arms where my mark was, but I didn't open my eyes to look.

The Gods were merciful and I know that they'll help, but at what cost? How many have we lost through all of this? Do I want to know? Or should I stay ignorant to that fact? Maybe I should just go to sleep, and maybe when I wake up, it'll be all over. At least, I hope it'll be over. I can only trust in the Gods right now. There's nothing more that I can do besides wait. A few familiar voices called out in the distance, sounding like Hitoshi, Aizawa and Yamada. So they should be safe, right? I hope so. I'm just really tired after all that. I just want to get some rest, even if this rain is kind of annoying to sleep in. I felt my body relax into the ground beneath me as I fell into a dreamless sleep.
