Notes:

Greetings, and welcome to my first book. As you can see in my username, well to make it simple, you can just call me "May". I am a young writer and artist, tho not exactly talented yet. I am still in school and still have a long road ahead of me.

The current audiences for my book is for the teenagers and young adults, again, this is my first time writing an original story. My English is not very good and I may have made a lot of grammar mistake, English is not my first word.

---------------------

Have you ever heard of a curse? I'm sure you have, good and bad.

Doesn't matter what you do once you get cursed you'll never be the same ever again.

A line being seen and crossed but never seeing the other side,

The foggy mist at night whiles the wind blows,

Memories of joy and sadness,

A game you never seem win,

The sun shining but never shining enough to bring joy,

A pen that writes without ink.

A curse or blessing is based off the mind of a person.

Being immortal can be a curse or a blessing, being a mortal can be a blessing or a curse, it's your choice, the choice is in your hands.

...

Shame...

Truly shame...

An eye for an eye, may our time come to your hand...

May the time guide you to your fate...

Now let the games begin—

...

Edo Period, Year of 1813

"Once upon a time, there lived a young lady up on the mountain. No one knows this lovely young lady. The reason for it, because of her changing appearances that makes them not question why there are so many lovely ladies coming to our village lately? Believe her lies and disguise, they never question. However, the lady had no ill intentions towards them, no, it was never just them. It's the world she hopes to finish. As time went on, as time continued on, the lovely lady fell into depression and her sanity finally melted away as she died by her own selfish wishes. Her last breath, "I wish for everyone to bear my sins as they're questioning, why I have to endure this by the person I never met in my life...". It was to show them how she hates every single one of the species on Earth."

"I'm sorry to interrupt the story, young lady." Said a friend of the lady, "But I have to ask, will the villagers know about this story of yours since you did say they have forgotten your existence...?"

"あらあら, お前さん." Suddenly the lady turned to her friend, "Would you really want to break my poor heart? After everything I did for you and this is the thanks I get? I did nothing but give you trust and this betrayal is the thanks I get?"

"... I don't mean it like that, young miss." the friend said, "What I meant, is that people change... What if I did tell the tale but it didn't reach their minds and it fails to send the message. What if it doesn't work and you remain forgotten?"

"Then remind the souls." Unnoticed by the lady, the man suddenly felt stiff just by hearing her answer, "A promise is a promise. if you tell the tale of a curse that comes to us whenever we feel something in our heart, then who would really forget such a tale?"

That laugh of hers makes the man feel nothing but pity and concern for his dear friends...

...

As it went by, days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months. Both of them are still in the discussion of the tale, the lady wants to spread it while her friend refuses it. The risk of not only the man will get caught, but the lady will be turned in as well.

"I must ask of this for you again, □□□." the man said, looking at his friend's eyes, slowly turning to madness the more he sees that meaning in her eyes, "Must you have to do this? What are you planning with this non-human...?"

"It is none of your concern, お前さん." The lady said, such a lovely voice however looks deceiving, just like her voice. The looks of malice and madness on her, "Whether they're human or not, they are pure and blood fleshed human. What's wrong with putting a little thing in them?"

"... Young miss, do I have to remind you. Revenge won't get you anywhere..." the man said, "With that avenging thought and feeling of yours is admirable and inspired, however you can't call it a human. Human is a mortal, fragile being. Humans can only have one chance to live. What you are planning is none of that. You are creating something that can't be called a human anymore. A being that is incapable of dying, a being that can do extraordinary things to level the celestial... Have you realised what you have done?"

"I know what I did. Just as you said, a being that is incapable of dying, a being that can do extraordinary things to level the celestial. But in the end," the man couldn't see the madness he saw in her anymore as her voice slowly went more and more quiet and more like the friend lady he met before, "They are human. They still are and always will be human. It might takes time–"

"□□□, please... I don't think this tale and this plan of yours is gonna bring peace... Sure, children might like it, but do you have any thought what would happen if they truly find this meaning of story you made—"

"黙れ! Don't you dare say such nonsense that comes from that mouth of yours! What would you have known about the pain I've been through... This is my story, my life to tell, my very first successful thing to reach my goal. And none of it is yours, it never was or ever will be yours, dear crimson blade." The madness took over as the lady gave out her last laugh, "May your story begin just as I'm going to finish mine, dear friend..."

"Hm, yes father?" said Phoenix.

"Did you finish unpacking your stuff?"

"I am, do you need–"
