Prologue Pt. 1

"Some people are lost in their fires, others are forged in them." -Unknown

Izuku Midoriya's POV

Not all people are created equally, not all heroes have humble and tidy beginnings and not all heroes are forged in time. I learned this all when I was five years old. That day was a painful and terrifying day. A day of blood, a day of death, a day... of FIRE.

Golden red lights danced throughout my vision as I could hear faint screaming aimed at me but my ears were ringing with a deafening roar. Tears wetted and threw themselves onto my cheeks, rolling down and crashing to the ground, shattering like pieces of fickle glass. I looked down to my hands as my vision faded and ebbed in and out. Though my eyes were misted with tears I could faintly recognize the dark crimson color simply covering not only my hands, but dripping from my arms and splattered all over my shirt, shoes and pants like someone threw red paint all over me. I looked back up to see the dancing and laughing cackles of the ruby flames that played and gorged on the corpses of the people who once housed themselves in the apartment complex that my mother, father and I lived in also. The blackened and shredded bodies made me sick to my stomach.

Another deafening rung throughout the world I knew as it. The roar shattered what was left of the glassy windows and I slowly stumbled out of the burning rubble of what used to be my family's apartment and my eyes widened as I found a pair of massive yellow eyes staring hungrily at me.

The creature looked like a T-Rex but it's skin was mostly bright pink while the fur on its hide was pitch black and ran down to the end of its tail which was swinging patiently behind the monster. Its mouth dripped out liquid flames and a cold, desolate rumbling shattered a single thought into me.

I was going to die here.

I was going to die? B-But I'd never even come close to making my dreams of becoming a hero like All Might! I-I was going to die and I was going to be eaten by a monster... I felt tears pour down the sides of my face as the monster T-Rex opened its massive maw and slowly pushed them to my sides, turning its head sideways so it could fit it's teeth around me. Just as the monster's mouth entered my vicinity, I heard someone shout.

"GRAH!!!" The voice erupted as the T-Rex monster's side was impacted with a massive force, causing it to be thrown on its side.

I watched, frozen in shock and awe as a man wearing a heavy set of armor wielding a massive red sword ran in and threw the monster T-Rex around like it was nothing! The greatsword the man was wielding was massive and I mean it was at least three times the height of me and it had dark black spikes running up what I assumed would be used as the blade end of it and on the opposite side of the greatsword was a single long spike that protruded from the hand guard which was made out of what looked to be some type of metal. The sword was covered in dark red scales and it seemed to irradiate some kind of red flame-like substance which slid and dripped off the pitch black spikes like they were lava.

The man himself was equally as terrifying as the helmet he wore was made from the same materials as the greatsword. The helmet looked like some type of knight helmet but several black spikes ran down the middle of the helmet with one being in the very front and giving off the appearance of a horn. On each side of the helmet were another set of spines that looked like the first horn on the top of the man's helmet. Where the man's eyes would be was a type of metal visor which reminded me of the Pro Hero Eraserhead's goggles and gleamed with silver light in the burning flames. The man's mouth was completely covered by some type of black scales which gave off a terrifying visage.
