Character(s) used: Kira

AU: Original

TW: Violence, a bit of cussing

Here's a general summary of Kira's life so you have an idea of what I'm talking about (There's a lot more complex details, this is just simplified). This is also very long, so if you don't feel like reading something long today, go skip ahead to the actual letter.

She was from a powerful clan named the Nozomi Clan from a god realm named Athrea. She was born with an extremely rare power defect, meaning she can't withhold a title as a goddess. She wanted to be the ruler of Athrea, but every person she knew (Except her parents and siblings) laughed at her and told her it was impossible. 

She trained for hundreds of thousands of years in combat and weapon handling, and became one of the strongest in Athrea even without powers. But, the farthest she ever got was becoming a general since she didn't have powers. 

Later on, the entirety of the Nozomi Clan, including one of her brothers, died from a mysterious plague that feasts on every god who has a lot of aura and good powers. The only people that survived were her, her parents, her older sister Kanako, and her younger brother Shiko.

She decided to find the Wishgiver and Auraling of Athrea (Basically two gods, one of them has the ability to make wishes, the other can manipulate Aura. Aura is the magic source of gods.), and she had to do a challenge (She has to swear to the Well of Promises that she'll complete the challenge before she actually does it, and if she doesn't do it, she basically dies.)

The Wishgiver's challenge was to murder both her parents and purposely drive her older sister, Kanako, away. She reluctantly agreed, since she didn't want to die. She ended up completing the challenge, and became the Goddess of Wishes.

She then challenged the Auraling, who gave her ten hard riddles no one has ever solved before. She completed all of them, and headed back to Shiko. Since two people can't run a whole clan, they had to join a new one.

Kira picked the Kamiko-Aoi Clan, which is a joint clan ruled by the prince of Athrea, Hitomu Kamiko. He saw Kira as a threat, and framed her for burning down his palace. He even burned half her face as "proof", and she was exiled from the clan. Shiko wasn't exiled, but he left with her.

It was also suspected that Hitomu tortured her at some point, as well as forcing her to wish for what he wanted before exiling her, but nobody was sure.

If she dies while not part of a clan or realm, she becomes a wandering spirit, cursed to wander the realms forever.

One day, while she was sleeping, Hitomu decided that getting her exiled wasn't enough, so he stabbed her in the right eye and slit her neck and left her body there. When he brother found her body, he ended up crying tears of black (According to what the humans came up as Athrean Mythology, the black tears ended up killing every murderer in the world because Shiko was the God of Death).

Shiko took all of her blood (Similar to Ichor in Greek Mythology), as well as her sacred animal's (A tiger)blood, and combined them to create the blade of a dagger. He then burned her and compressed her ashes to make a purple gem. He then took Yew wood and created a dagger out of these materials. He then performed a spell that whoever challenges Kira for becoming Wishgiver or Auraling, will own this dagger.

Kira wandered the Realms and Earth as a wandering spirit for hundreds of years, and then entire time she spend looking for Kanako. She decided that she probably decided to become a Wandering God and just travel to other realms, so she looked everywhere. She's been to so many places just to try and find Kanako, but never did.

She also spent a lot of time following Shiko around, who could sense her presence because he's the God of Death, but they couldn't communicate.

But then, a young but ambitious Goddess of Forests and Power named Moriko of the Aoi Clan challenged Kira for the position of Auraling. (Yes the same Moriko from the Academy story, but just from a different AU).

The challenge Kira gave to her was to carry her spirit in the her body until Kira got revenge on her murderer. Kira hated the girl for her resemblance to what Kira used to be, as well as Hitomu himself, so she constantly degraded and acted terrible to Moriko. Eventually, Moriko murdered Hitomu and Kira left her body.

Dear Kira,

I am truly sorry for ever giving you such a shitty life.

Yes, all of it was my doing.

Please do not kill me or even torture me.

Look, I swear I'm sorry but everyone acts horrible to their characters, so you can't exactly blame me.

Actually, now that I think of it, I'm not sorry at all, but I'm gonna write this apology letter anyway.

Kira, I feel so bad for you. Life must've been hard, huh? 222,222 years of shit. Damn that sucks, sorry.

Also, you know what happened to sister Kanako?

She died. She fucking died. You spend hundreds of years looking for her for nothing. She committed suicide. Welp that's rough buddy, please don't kill me.

Look, I didn't mean it. It was a spur of the moment thing, I wish I could redo it but I put too much work and commitment into it. And also, at least be grateful for existing. Besides, you got the power you wanted, right? I mean, the cost was your life and the point of your existence, but you still got power, right? Power is great but please don't use it to kill me. I swear I did nothing, a bunch of my friends helped me! I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!

Yet again, please do not kill me. I swear I'm sorry. Please I have friends and a family.

Sincerely,

Your sadistic creator.
