(Shoto's/The nightmare pov)Things weren't always like this.Before any of this , i lived a quiet and peaceful life ,like any other kid i had parents a mom and a dad who loved me friends and a plan to live a much simpler life i was so fucking weak . I had no idea this would happen None of us did I grew up in Bakumori , a village with strong ties to magic and demons I was taught techniques , history and the way of life passed down through our people i learned how our village was built by the ancient  demons  and how we were the only people to produce mana fruit Things i really never cared about I dreamed more about venturing out into the world and leaving my home one day i wanted to do so many things and learn so much more about the outside world . I even wanted to follow my father's footsteps and become a baker ..People like me were born with magic , but whether  they are loved by this magic is only something the gods can control the gods of this land are fickle all of them are They pull and twist the string of fate on a Whim and grant their blessings to whomever they please I was on of those few the gods gave me their blessing when i was still very young gifting me with a special divine protection. For most people, thing like fresh bread and other daily comforts all have their own scent  My protection takes it a step further  i can clearly remember the smell of every plant , every poison, every cure. They were all unique For me no  two things that share the same aroma be it different animals,monsters , people in our everyday lives , or even the smell of a spirit or a demon even abstract things like sadness,joy or anger that each carry their own scent  because of my "Gift" as some called it . I was seen as an object to fear . The villagers avoided me and only a few others would try and befriend me yet there was one boy who didn't see me as a freak .My best friend ,Ether  he wasn't a native to Bakumori instead his family moved here from the far north he was born with magic like many in Bakumori however he had no talent for it Ether was like my opposite the gods did not favor him as they did me yet despite that , he was the only one who understood me we spent most of our days mostly doing anything and everything together . I would help him with his studies .... even if it required a bit extra assistance  .We'd Talk day after day about  powerful magic,beasts and monsters, distant worlds ...enough to fill a library  it was our hope that one day... I would go with him  and we would leave the village together and one day....That wish came true .Under  a full winter moon , The ancient tori gate opened for the first time in decades  and as tradition , the people of Bakumori rushed to greet  the demons they worshiped so fervently . However we were not met with blessings or wisdom  instead  we were met with an army . The demons killed relentlessly slaughtering men , women , even children , saturating the snow and soil with Bakumori's blood  .I took Ether and ran . I ran away from my family .There wasn't anything i could do right ?Was i a coward?As we ran away Bakumori burned to the ground around us .The people i knew the people i grew up with were cut down before my eyes , my friends eviscerated or burned alive we reached the edge of the village ....we had almost escaped but then...We met "her" i was under a spell and forgot what i was doing  Forgot about the murders,running away , The village .Forgot about Ether Before i could even comprehend what was happening  Ether tried to help me but  i witnessed him get stabbed by the woman my eyes started to water even more then they did before .We laid there like always under a starry  night sky  i was almost already to accept it  for it to be the last  time we'd be together like this ... but I didn't want to die here  we were supposed to see the world together ,explore the skies,see new lands . I couldn't give up on our dreams so i wanted to be selfish , and so i took Ether and i kept moving i was determined to save my best friend So i ran with him but this time in my nightmare i saw something different i saw something following me i payed no mind to it eventually we made it to the shrine where we first met .I laid Ether down in front of it .If i were so truly loved by the gods like mom said. then they would answer me here .Ether's voice  was so weak ,The sounds he uttered  made no sense but... i couldn't  stop there  I prayed to any god that was listening .I prayed that they would give us their blessing .Miraculously a god did answer  I was engulfed by spirits ,the pain in my throat subsided ,and my body felt lighter I quickly looked at Ether but blood continued  to pour from his fatal wounds  I prayed as hard as i could ,begging them to help my friend   but the gods remained silent no matter what i said  soon after Ether became silent ,Yet still i begged .I asked for anything  anyone to help me ,To help   Ether  A voice spoke to me  not one i recognized nor understood   But they placed their hand on my head as i cried begging for someone to save or help Ether I looked around to find the voice yet no one was there except for me I looked over to Ether his body was fading into mana being claimed by then forest i begged Ether not to leave me,that i didn't want to go  without him. He simply smiled at me and even though his voice  no longer sounded ,I understood what he was trying to say "I won't leave you" his body was gone , and nothing was left but that cursed knife  the day they took my friend  was the day took everything from me  after that night I promised I would live on for both of us  I vowed to hunt down every demon  that crossed me .To rid their very existence ,They had taken everything from me ,So i will take everything from them in return ,Even so deep within me i know This won't ever bring him back... i then heard a branch crunch in my dream which that has never happened i quickly got up and jumped up into the tree above me i then saw a man in a white suit , he had black or very dark brown hair with red streaks in it he had medium length hair huh strange i have never seen him in  my dream i then felt something grab me i looked and he was behind me i jumped and kicked him he let go of me and i wasted no time i jumped out the  quickly and ran but he then appeared right in front of me he was about to grab me but i jumped over him and ran but then everything went black........ I then woke up in cold sweat i just got up and made sure nothing had happened to me or anything in my house i got out of my bed and grabbed some clothes and  a red towel i then went into my bathroom i took of my clothes then turned on the water to luke-warm once it was warm enough i got in the shower immediately feeling relaxed i then started to wash my purple hair with my lavender scented shampoo once i lathered it into my hair i washed it out and put in some lavender scented conditioner into my hair and started washing my body once i was done i rinsed everything off my body and  once i had finished i turned the water off and got out of my shower changing into my clothes i had picked out i then went to my 3rd kitchen (yes shoto is rich) i then made myself some pancakes once i was finished eating i got up and made sure i had  my wallet and keys to my purple motorbike he then went to his big garage he then found his purple motorbike in the 2nd hall he then got on it and started it up putting on his helmet  and once he did he drove out of the huge garage after 40 minutes i was at the mall mysta owned i went over to the weaponry stores and got some weapons like a new thigh knife , pistol and a dagger it didn't cost me anything due to being a "special member " to Mysta i started walking towards the outfit store then someone put there hand over my mouth i jumped and tried to run but then i was pulled back by a boy with blackish hair red, streaks and a white suit i was squirming against him he looked at me intensely i shuddered under his glare i bit his hand and ran i then ran all until i ran into mysta he looked at me and asked "whats wrong sho?" i looked up and got saying "nothing i am fine" i then walked to my motorbike and got on i then go back to my home i go up to my closet and put my mission clothes in a bag and got on my club clothes due to one of  my target being in the club i then got into a club outfit and left to the club
