The past was showing up before hein's eyes.
As the soul entered Hein, hein started to remember the past, the past of his body which he had been transferred inside.
The flashes showed him everything that the lord did and who he was.
Just a little before the war of all the nations, there was a small island beside the the main inland island of Arcana. The place was called Beowulfia. The place was under the jurisdiction of both Arcana and The Eastern Holy Kingdom and due to which it was the battlefield for most of the war which caused the maximum losses were suffered not by the nations but by the small state.
They not only had financial losses but also had many thousand lives lost.
The island was bombarded many times as well as had to suffer with biological war many diseases were spread purposely to stop other nation from advancing into battlefield.
Many were perished, only strong remained.
After few years of war humans were perished only humanoids and demons remained.
There lived a family, a broken sad family of three demons. The mother had turned mad as she had lost her daughter and a son and father who got kicked out of army as he lost his legs in battlefield, there was another son named Néan as well, he was weak and undernourished, he had no one to care for him he was small and depressed as his mother had gone crazy and used to fight anybody who came in her way.
The father without legs couldn't think of anything more to survive they tried to live on government subsidies which were not enough and by selling broken equipments from the fallen soldiers which Néan used take from the battlefield as his daily work.
After his daily collection of equipments they used to sell it and try to earn a little income.
Néan did all the chores at the house which half destroyed by the bombardments.
They were somehow surviving in this cruel world hoping for a positive future. As the lord of the place was a weak demon in authority and tried fully helping his people.
Soon after a few months conditions were getting worse the lord was suddenly murdered mysteriously not knowing who did it there was no one to handle the affairs. The was getting worse day by day with crime rate increasing people dieing cruel deaths.
Gangster gangs emerged from the dark controlling the state and its policies giving a lot of trouble to the population.
The equipments at Néan's place were used for war and were usefull if used properly.
One day the household had met ill fate.
They were approached by the gang asking them to give all their supplies for nothing.
Néan's father was a nice man he approached them silently calmly telling them about the financial issue and if they give them all their supplies they would die of hunger. The gangsters didn't care and took Néan's mom as hostage while Néan couldn't bare it within a second he jumped on the gangster with fight occuring Néan's mother was dead, she was sliced dead. Néan was in a shock he screamed in agony trying to kill the gangster but he was small his father tried to stop him the gangsters hurried and stole the goods while moving a sudden slip occurred and Néan's father had slipped from his wheelchair which old and broken, falling onto an axe Néan was an orphan now as the flow went the gangsters bashed a rod on Néan's head making him unconscious and moved with the goods away igniting the house on fire.
When Néan gained his consciousness he was on a Vanadreadn apparantly a rare crow monster. The small boy was saved by a crow.
It was crazy experience for the kid as he was flying far above from the ground on a majestic creature. He was scared and almost had pissed his pants. The crow used telepathy saying-
" Oh kid your alive I thought you were dead.
Your about to be burnt alive in a house by some people. I thought of helping you out, as I took care of the people and here you are"
With which Néan speaking-
"Did you see my parents?? Did you save them??"
The crow replied in a sad tone-
"Sorry I didn't see them "
With which Néan wetting his eyes said-
"Thank you for saving me, they wouldn't be alive anyways."
Néan was strong kid being a kid he had saw many deaths he knew through and through what death and life was.
The crow knew he is a orphan now he said-
"Your strong for being a kid, I respect you.
As you know I'm a Vanadreadn, but you can call me Van."
With nothing to ask they continued to fly towards Van's place. Soon they reached a mansion which was mixed with a tree. They landed in front of it. Néan was amused by the mansion, they arrived at the door, When Néan asked-
"How do you enter inside your really big?"
After which Van morphed into a humanoid and entered without saying a word, Néan followed him inside.
Soon after they started to live together and taught Hein to fight. Never they realised many years passed with Néan turning to be a sharp fighter with strong skill which they used to reclaim their state. Many hardships awaited them in the journey which they conquered and took the state in their own hands. Van was monster people didn't had much reputation for one so he commonly morphed to a humanoid or a normal crow form to assist Néan.
Not much occured they had formed a strong kingdom of their own and faithful comrades supporting them in the matters. As they were not in a jurisdiction of any nation they had a bad reputation they were considered evil and cursed.
Not thinking about it much they developed their techniques and skills to a much more higher level. They have formed secret bases and dungeons all throughout the world to keep attention on the people.
They were in the time of development Néan was the lord, he was thinking futuristic and about the people and for the people. Once during his checking at the bases as he was flying through the sky above Eastern Holy Kingdom he bashed into something hard and lost his consciousness.
