'i was originally born in ou-topos. My dad "Darius cresto" was a noble and he was a wealthy man with direct connections with king vladmir himself. My dad was respected everywhere he went for his extraordinary success in constructing magic formulas which led him to further develop our memory magic, you see memory magic was originally a 6 tier spell which could only be used to read minds and see only few of someones memories. It could only interfere on an island's scale but my dad discovered magic amplification and converted it to a 4 tier spell. with that my dad was closer to becoming one of the king's advisors , but the my dad found my mum "martha gnu" ,she was a spirit kin and somehow came to the human capital but was forced into slavery by some slave merchant. My dad bought her and then took her to one of his houses because he was fascinated with the fact her grey energy was the purest he'd seen . He slowly fell in love with her and then they gave birth to me out of wedlock my dad was already married so it was difficult to hide but then the king found out about one of my dad's research on grey energy amplification that could make one use magic of tier 3 or higher, the king was furious ,so he used a report that my father had laid with my mother being a spirit kin as a guise to wipe out my family out. my dad knew what was going to happen so he fled to an abandoned town in the human kingdom called "loc" he raised me there with my mum up untill i was ten years of age .
I discovered i was able to switch between a boy and a girl anytime i wish but i was originally born a girl , my mum said it came with being half spirit kin, the spirits can shape-shift into any thing they wish ,But i could only switch between girl and boy so you can say i don't really have a gender. All our days were peaceful until that night, the night i lost everything.
It seemed one of our neighbors sold us out my dad and mum were killed just like the rest of our clan , the entire noble faction gone in an instant but with the crest on my nape i swore i'd get revenge even as my parents took me to a ship to hide before they came i remember my mom uttering the words "dal ul shig" it was a word meaning "forever" in spirit folklore , i don't knōw why tears rolled down from my eyes i was only ten at the time and yet these feelings her's were poured into my mind telling me to live on.
I set out to become an adventurer in a guild but they turned me down saying 'i was to small', those words though being a few burned me up inside i stood there gnash my teeth at my powerlessness as my hands clenched at my chest, but then i had a cowardly thought to make someone with potential strong enough to solve my problems. To me it didn't matter who took on my revenge as long as i'd be there to see it happen, so i laughed and laughed and had been laughing ever since. which brings us to now, Ryouta what are you doing , are you crying?.
his breath ragged and with his body figdet ,he jumped and hugged shiva saying 'it's to sad your parent died and yet you weren't even able to mourn then properly with , because of your feeling of hatred' , he grabs on even tighter and shiva flushed with embarrassment 'Ryouta , stop crying so much', shoves him away as her face burned an even brighter red ,' know but i couldn't go on if it were me i'd be broken beyond repair, i'm too indecisive so i doubt i'd be able to do anything for them ,but your willing to risk your life....(stops crying), with a nonchalant look he said "you bitch i can't believe you'd be willing to risk someone else's life to kill the man you hate" she was furious as it would seem he had hit a soft spot in her resolve"A..And so what it would be crazy for me to take on the king and his generals on my own ,besides did you not hear me , if i train someone strong to accomplish it ,it'd still be the same thing " , he laughed hard until his belly hurt " jeez you make it sound so noble". "But i get were your coming from it must have being really annoying when you realised your not strong enough" Ryouta looked around the path they were following and found they'd hit a dead-end" okay this is it James inn" Ryouta torn with confusion and already exhausted " an inn i thoughts were going to an old man's home and fyi this is a blocked cave not an inn not that i know how thus world works".
she was unfazed by his words, she had being focusing using her magic to unveil what seemed to be an illusion materialized, Ryouta was in an awe he gulped his fears of the unknown "am i really gonna get through this" , she entered the unveiled illusion and soon he followed.
Upon walking there a young boy with blond hair and blue crystal like eye's ran towards Ryouta , Shiva kicks his in the stomach but he catches her leg as he was about to be sent aloft and uses his hand to shove her from the ankle making her lose her stamina and the approaches Ryouta with an even higher speed but suddenly he saw Ryouta punching him but suddenly loses his balance pitched forward over his feet and plunges face first into the grass."what just happened ", Ryouta said as he was overwhelmed by the strange series of events that took place, " i used memory magic to mess with his vision and illusion magic to make him feel a need to dodge, " she said as she spoke with her body covered sheen in sweat her face lit up as she began to catch her breath," dare why'd you do that " ,the boy stood up, "isn't it obvious i wanted to kill the stalker" ,Ryouta was confused as to why the boy was called dare but came to the conclusion that this world was far too mysterious so he decided it would be best not to ask but.."wait you called me a stalker kid, why would i stalk someone who's kicks can literally send a man flying " , she was about to burst into laughter but then she decided to not hurt his pride any further, " you i don't know why your here but this isn't a place for weaklings to live in , i hate the way you talk it reeks of weakness but i hate that face of yours, you probably used some kind of potion to get sis to let you come here ,Hear me creep i'll..." ,shiva knocks him out "well lets get going ", Ryouta in shocked even though he spent every moment since he got to this world with her , he found himself more scared of her than anytime before because she had just knocked the boy out with a flick of her finger , it was beyond what his brain capacity could take so he stood frozen solid, 'i never wanna be on her bad side' he said while quivering in fear, " were heading to the inn just beyond this bushes" chants a spell "Anoixe muo" the bushes open and what was seen was a sight to behold men killing each other on the side a tree, people smile continuously as they drown theirselves in the pleasure of thier choosing, " were home ", they hear sounds of intense moan and persistent huffing noises they were flushed with embarrassment, the voices seemed to get loud and they came from above in the upper floors of the inn it was almost as if they were competing with each other ,then an old man called out to them "hey shiva who's this kid your with, can see your old enough to be bringing boys over huh", shiva was at her threshold as the sounds grew more indulgent. "aaah,haaan i'm about to" , shiva screams,"the fuck is going on here why are people using the inn like a love hotel"?
the old man laughed, "well aren't you the virgin ,weren't you about to the same thing with black hair here" she had a smug look on her face as she told the old man that she'd never do anything of the sort and the old man replied with a mocking laughter , she uttered words that brought the man to tears " "grandpa" the old man was deeply offended but this was part of their daily routine, Ryouta saw the chemistry between the two and asked, "who is this man" she replied with a smile ," he's the man who took me in and raised me all these years". Ryouta had a warm look in his eyes ,the old man looked like a kindred spirit and knew how to relate with people quite, before they could conclude their introductions the sounds of carnal desire became even louder
"again , why are they here?"
"because they gave a bunch of money i couldn't refuse"
"who even are they"
"the a bandit group from far west called the scavengers. they came into my inn though i don't know how they got through these barriers when they're not my usual visitors , they simply came here and asked to spend two days here, they said they'd pay me handsomely and i didn't like the look on their eye's i knew i couldn't refuse or they make short work of me so i took their money".
shiva was shocked it seemed the human capital sent the scavenger group here in hopes to find her. the human capital had heard sightings of a girl named shiva cresto and made use of one of their dirty connections to try and apprehend her , but shiva was already aware of the fact that she was sighted a few days ago in the human capital before she met Ryouta. she went there to gather some information on the kings generals and other important details she'd need to find the king's weak spots
"so they're the ones who are there huh, but why are they screwing like animals"
"well the men in the group just came over with women a today and its been like this all day"
shiva confirmed that the group is not just full of males from the statement he made so she had to be careful.
"anyways back to introductions , i'm James nice to meetcha black hair"
"i'm Ryouta Matoi, shiva said you had a rash personality but that doesn't seem to be the case"
sounds of a blade scratch the hall echoed as a man dressed in black came out from the dark hall (thud...thud..,thud).."shiva huh, you don't say"
