This is the Sepal village filled with the Homuragi clan.The village was in the midst of a massacre from monsters called "Shadows".
A young boy around 4 years old is seen running at a very high speed from numerous shadows, but his speed was too much for his eyes to follow and he tripped over a stone.The boy was characterised with vibrant , spiky and fiery red hair, with few strands coming down his head.
The shadows caught up to him and were about to stab him with their sharp claws when they all suddenly caught fire and to their surprise,a man in his late twenties having silky red hair suddenly appeared in front of them In a ray of crimson light with a traditional swordsman kimono and swiftly slaughtered the shadows,spared from his flames with his red katana that was coated in fire .
This man was the clan head of the Homuragi clan and the father of the young child

"I'm fine Tou-san but Kaa-chan ...". Said ,years welling up in his eyes.
"I know son ,I saw her corpse as I ran here
