a life of fire
burning inside oneself
as days and nights intertwine and pass into nothingness
a desire for truth as lies surround and twirl
the fire burns a deeper message
we are not alone
tokoyami was brought to the dorms after almost a year of endless torture
not physical torture
but mental/phycological
even so
when he was found his body was lying flat against a hard stone table, restraints on arms and legs holding him still
but the restraints were worn by fruitless struggling wearing them thin
eyes closed tight, face and feathers drenched in tears, tears and blood that was produced from eyes and mouth
the teachers who had been searching endlessly for almost a year, only able to find him because of a financially poor pregnant woman went into labour who complained of a noisy neighbour crying out all night and day endlessly, nurses who seemed interested in her story alerted the police who alerted the hero's
and they had finally found the poor teenager in his poor state
when they had brought tokoyami back they had found two shockingly new things about the raven
he no longer had emotions, no happiness, no sadness, just a factful intelligent robot
no matter what the teachers did they couldn't even get the child to crack a smile
and when asking what had happened they had learnt that the child either deliberately refused to speak/respond or due to the sleep torture he simply had damaged his vocal cords so he was unable to speak
instead, he would write down what had happened on a sheet of paper or used darkshadow who also lost everything other than a voice and protective instincts
and what he wrote shocked, horrified and scarred the teachers and students to their very core
but tokoyami was simply unfazed, nothing could shock him now
but they didn't dare push tokoyami
with everything that he had gone through they had no right
instead, they complied to this new version of their classmate
they would read what he had to say and showered his unconditional love and support
it was their only way to help
in their hearts, they hoped/prayed that tokoyami would one day obtain the ability of speech and emotions
but if not
they would care for him anyway
he was not to be taunted
never
if only the villain knew what they were getting into when they did
"oi! birdy, I'm talking to ya!" they pestered as they fought one on one with the raven
"geeze, emo freak, would it kill ya to smile?" the villain laughed as they sent it's slime quirk to trap the raven
only for tokoyami to avoid the attack fully
and send his own quirk at him
darkshadow was as big as the Paris tower and longer than the Buckingham palace
and this was during a hot sunny day in the middle of summer
the villain tried to escape but long razor claws stopped them it's their track
tokoyami sent an extremely protective darksahdow's other claw to attack
again
and again
and again
until there was nothing more of a human than a scattered mess of bones, blood, organs and skin
Tokoyami was excused of his actions due to what he had been through and that the villain had pushed him too far
Tokoyami was more powerful then he had ever been before
But with great power came great responsibility
A responsibility that the students and teachers would need to look out for the raven
To cover his blind spots in his life
Because that's what a family does
And they would never let him be in the darkness alone ever again
