The Demonic Hero

The Dream

Izuku POV

I looked around myself to see I was in a beautiful yet unfamiliar place. It looked to be a grassy field with many colorful flowers, the clear blue sky making it a very peaceful scenery. Not far from where I stood, there's a tree with a black swing that had green designs on it. There was also a woman who looked to be wearing a white flowy dress and a flower crown on top of her hair. Her back was turned towards me and I felt a dull pain in my chest as I stared at her long green hair. Is it really?.....

"Mom?"

The woman- no mom turned around and I saw the same warm emerald eyes I never thought I see again. I launched myself at her causing us both to be on the ground with tears rapidly falling my eyes and hugged her tightly. I was met with a tight hug as well as she whispered sweet nothings in my ear. Once I calmed down enough for myself to talk, I didn't try to hold back the spew of questions I hid in the deepest part of my head. "Mom why did you both abandon me? Did you even want me? That day, did you stop loving me? Did-"

Before I could continue a hand was put on my face and she lifted my head up to look at her. I didn't know I was crying again while my head was down staring at my lap. Mom had a soft but sad smile on her face as she got up and sat on the swing. She patted the spot next to her and I immediately followed her request. "I'm happy you found a loving family and amazing friends. And....I'm sorry Izuku! A-after your father was arrested, I spent everyday searching for you. But w-when he got out, we got into an argument and.....h-he threw me into the wall. I died instantly. I'm such a terrible m-mother!" She wailed out. She was shivering at the memory as hot tears ran down her now pale cheeks. I rubbed her back to comfort her and it worked a little bit. She continued with her thoughts. "W-when you disappeared I...I thought Zalgo might've captured you a-and I couldn't protect you....." I squeezed her hand but her words just came through.

Wait a damn minute-

"Mom, how do you know about Zalgo?" No way could this be a coincidence.

"Well I never had the chance to tell you but you have- no had an aunt; my sister Abigail. Z-zalgo killed her to take the throne. Izu- honey you are the rightful heir to the throne of the Underworld." I was pretty much speechless and was about to deny everything she said until it all clicked.

Zalgo wanting to kill me.

The Slender brothers acting strange lately.

Celty's words.....

It all makes sense.....at least a little bit. I remember reading about the Underworld. I'm a katharo, basically the only person whose able to rule and Zalgo wants me dead to keep the throne. "Again I'm sorry Izuku if it's to much at one time but my time is almost up." Now that her voice isn't so distressed, I can still hear the kindness she always had in her voice. Then I noticed our surroundings were flickering. "Your waking up." She stated, answering my confusion with a small smile. "You still have so much of your power to learn about. Be careful my little hero." She then slowly started to fade.

"Wait, MOM-"

"Remember Izuku I'm proud of you and I love you sweetie!"

"MOM-"

I sat up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily with my clothes sticking to me. My alarm was blaring and short quick knocks came from my door. I kept telling myself it was a dream to calm myself down but it felt so real. First I turned off my alarm that has apparently been going off the last 4 hours. Still a bit shaken from the dream, I answered the door to see Izaya with his usual outfit on. "Hi Izu-chan! I gotta go to Hosu for a client and I don't want to leave you here. Hurry and get dressed!"
