Reaching the Forrest after hearing villagers talk about those men, it sounded like the ones I seek, It started to rain way before so the weather was not the best but I could handle it. As I watch the road from behind a large tree I could spot 3 men every 15 minutes. I waited for them once again and would try to follow them. I would sneak around so they would not hear it. The rain also would make it harder for them to hear the surroundings so that was helpful. I would follow them all the way to where they were going. I could feel I was getting closer. they seem to feel like the ones that day.

When I blacked out, I could still see the kid in front of me. And I could still hear him talk, He was a god of fire? He wanted to know what I would use the power for and that he granted it to me? All this was just to muchts and I had no Idea what was going on at this point but I had to answer but the boy came back to life claiming to be a God of Fire.

" I will use this power to kill those that killed my mother and protect the girl close to my heart. "

I didn't had more reasons at this point, but I would also use it to defend myself but this power would make me grow more into a Demon and with that I would reach my goal. After that I could finally life free again and be myself but for now I can't.

" I will shape into a Demon to take down the Demon's in my life. "

I had to grow stronger from the inside out as well, I had to learn to control the hate and use it as a power instead of a weakness. Having met a Monk, he could see the hate just burning me down and told me to put it aside or use it to get better but not letting it destroy me from the inside out. Knowing he could not convince me to just put it aside he would help me control it till the point I could use it to get better. But he warned me that for me it would be harder then a normal person to find that inner self.

" Follow me young spirit "

The Monk has led me to a waterfall and told me to sit underneath it, having to take off the clothes I was wearing on the upper body and remove any armor I had on. The weapon as well had to be removed. Sitting down under the waterfall  I would feel the water crash upon my neck and shoulders, the water was cold and had needed abit of time to get used to. "Close you're eyes " As my eyes would close I had to think of the pain and suffer that was deep inside my soul and burned there. I had to relive the moment but had to watch it as a third person and not myself. I had to watch myself as a Kid, playing with his mother outside smiling and being happy. I could feel joy and tears rise up in my eyes and then roll down my cheek. Soon it would turn to anger and hate as I would reach the part were those men enter the house, blood would color the ground red as the lifeless body of his mother would drop to the ground. Laughter would be heard from those that did it. Teeth would clench.

The Monk could see the pain I was going trough and started to chant as tune, I didn't know what it was but it would calm my body down, and instead of getting consumed fully by it I could watch the surroundings of when it happened better. I could stop the time and look around inside my mind. I had never been able to relive the moment and focus on clues or anything. My body would relax and I could for once see something I missed. One of those man had blond hair and this showed me it was not a Asian man at all. Two hours would have pass and my eyes would slowly open yet something new was burning in those eyes. It was still hate but with new found strength. The Monk noticed and would smile.

" It does not end here young spirit, in order to maintain that new found spirit of yours. You have to climb that mountain and face the harse weather and reach the temple. There you have to do the same thing again but this time try to put aside it all. "

With that the Monk would take his leave as he felt his purpose was complete. Before I could even thank the man he was already gone like a ghost. Looking up the mountain I could see the temple as a small spot. Maybe i could find more clue's, so I would start my walk up to the temple. It wasn't as simple as it looked, the weather was cold and the wind was fierce. Because of the snow falling it was hard to even see anything in front of me further then a arm reach. But I had to do it for her sake and that of my own. The first step was made, and i would climb the mountain slowly step by step I would come closer. Body would turn cold and the pain would grow greater. The wind would sometimes push me back but I would not falter and keep going forward. The fire would still burn in my eyes.

When the cold begun to sink in, I remembered a power I had learned before. I was able to control fire, I wasn't very good at it yet but I was able to heat myself up and the snow would melt upon falling on my skin. Even if it took all my emery by using it I would reach this temple. It took around a day to reach the temple and looking at it the Monk would already stand there smiling friendly. How was this man able to reach it before me? Stepping inside the temple i would sit down in front of a large dragon statue. I had to try and let it all go.

As i had to relive the moment once again and this time images flash by so fast as it was more emotional then before, not only would I see that of my mother it also flashed that of all the things I did after that, living in the Forrest for 12 years and meeting Gabriella. but then after a few hours all went white around me. A woman shape would appear in front of me and the smile would stun me, it was her, my mother would appear in front of me. I could not speak or move. Her hand would fall upon my cheek, the warmth was overwhelming and tears would slide down my face. The monk could feel the change and would leave the temple again knowing I had found the stage I needed to be in.

"Good luck young spirit, you will become great one day "

Back to were I was inside my head in front of my mother, I could finally ask if she was still proud of me but then again I would be afraid she would say no. But before I could speak she would begin to speak as if she could read my mind.

" Don't ever lose yourself son, you are greater then they would ever be. I know you seek strength and you will find it one day. But fighting isn't the only thing that grands strength. You need something to fight for. Before I didn't think you would have anything to fight for until you met her (Gabriella) You don't have to avenge me but I know I can't stop you from doing so. Just promise me after you will become the man I wish you would be and be there for her as you were there for me! "

She would then disappear and my eyes would open, her words still running inside my head. She was still proud of me and she hadn't left me. My desire to become great grew but I knew what I had to do. Until I killed those man I could not release the image of what had been created but after that I would be free.

As the food was thrown back at me at night, it seems he finally had learned how to hunt himself. With this I had more food for myself and would stop placing food at Shou his camp. Because once again it wasn't a kind thing in fact it was still a bad thing. I already learned this skill when I was younger hunting and finding shelter it was like the beast inside of me that kept me alive all this time. This was my natural surroundings.

The smoke was still going from both side of the island and there had yet to be a ship to pass by. Days were passing and all just stayed the same. Sure I got stronger and back into shape. The camp improved as I had build upon day by day. Food would now become plenty. Yet I was starting to feel sick of this place. I was stuck in time and could not really move forwards anymore.

Not caring what Shou was doing I would walk on the beach and look around for old part of the ship and collect them. I could find things like the wheel and wood and rope. Maybe if I spent some time with it I could build something that I could use to leave this place. I would collect for day's when i had spare time. Keeping myself well fed and drinking plenty of water.

After I would start building a raft of some sort but it was more complicated then I thought.

Before I could pass out, I saw the weather change and the villagers coming out of hiding. What I did not understand was, the boy that was killed started to glow and came back to life. My vision started to blur and I could hear a voice speak inside my head about choosing well. Not soon after I would pass out and with that came a end to my struggle.

If you ever have a open thread or anything I'll join

I could not hear her words as my thought were just running wild inside my head. But I did felt her hand take place upon my shoulder. turning towards her with my face, my eyes showing pain something different then hate. I knew the reason I was crying now as I saw her. I was afraid I would not be able to protect her like my mother. I felt useless and a fool. Why would I promise her to protect her as I'm not even that strong. But seeing her I could not let her go back into that world alone. I would never show the weak side of myself but with her it felt save.

" Would she be proud of what I have become? "

I would look up at the sky, I clenched my teeth trying to hold back the tears, my fist would clench together. "Damn" I wasn't sure anymore if anything I had done until this point was even what she had wanted. Maybe she didn't even want me to take revenge, she probably wanted me to life my life peaceful. Yet I didn't want to be weak like my father.

" I won't let them hurt you like they hurt her, Nobody will be able to hurt you anymore! "

It seems he was eating the food I brought him. He better not have it mistaken as a gift. It was just a nececery thing to keep him alive before I could kill him in a fair fight. This island wasn't a place for that fight and neither one of us would survive that fight. The winner would just perish from the wounds and infections gained in that fight. And neither I or him would like to die here.

The fire would burn and the smoke would rise from both sides of the island as there were two fires now. Better hope it doesn't make it harder to spot now smoke could surround the whole island if it keep d up for long. The days felt to pass by abit faster now that there was a routine and I would keep up the training abit. Strikes would hit the tree hard and even the impact could be heard by Shou.

Even though I got stuck here I had all I needed to survive and I could train, the terrain would be a good place to train that endurance and skill all together. I would leave a stronger man. Day by day passed and no ship had come to the smoke just yet.

The sun was going down, the bright sky turning orange as the sun would make it glow. Standing upon a rock, there I was looking up at the sky. The wind's breeze would make my hair dance. Not wearing the mask today my face would be revealed completely. Nobody was around and I claimed this to be my small area were I could release all my emotions that made me weaker. This area was peaceful and silent. Here I could drop the tough guy act.

Allot of things had changed ever since the day I met her! Gabriella was the one that changed my view on life. Many warriors I faced before told me allot, but she made me feel it. Gave my life another purpose. She even took my side in the darkness I faced. I wasn't even close to be the most powerful warrior but she believed I could be. She maybe believed it more then I did myself. I would give my life for her even if it meant to abandon my goals. If she would hear those words she would probably slap me.

Also there was my mother, what would see think of me when she looks down from above. Would she be proud I made my life goal to kill those that killed her? Or would she turn her back towards me seeing that I changed the way I did. All she ever wanted me to smile and be happy. A feeling I didn't feel for a long time. What would she think of me? Would she see me as a Demon like those men? Or does she still see me as little Maki smiling at her?

The thoughts running inside my head made me lose sense of everything around me. A tear would slide down my cheek, it felt warm and as it past my lips it tasted salty. What was this? What was this feeling? Sadness, or was it joy? Was it the sense of losing my mother that made me cry out of sadness or was it joy of finding somebody like Gabriella? I didn't even know she was behind me at this point.

Fighting him now would be a waste of energy on both sides. Being wounded would lower the chances of hunting and getting a infection would even mean dead. How bad I wanted to kill this fool, I was not stupid enough to fight him. I would not underestimate him as I know he would be able to wound me. Clenching my teeth I would walk backwards back into the woods. Eyes locked upon him.

" We will set this straight one day "

With those words I would disappear in the tree lines. Trying to cool myself I would try to make a plan for the next week. I first had to hunt and get some food going. Checking the traps i made earlier it seems I had some rabbits and that would make a nice meal. Knowing Shou could not hunt and probably starve to dead before I could fight him I did something weird.

Walking from the tree lines I would toss him a rabbit and berries packed in some leafs. My eyes were serious as I would speak these words.

" You better not die before I get that chance! "

It was not a peace offer it was to keep him alive so I could kill him later on. Disappearing again i would hunt for the next few days and kept this routine. Making sure I would eat enough and drink enough and never skip a morning workout for the next 7 days.

Being lead to a ice cave, I lost the second fight but there was still one left. Walking into the cave I would feel this area would be something as a disadvantage as the ice would be hard to move on. I just hope I have better grip then the one I face.

Seeing the reff already being there I would take my spot. It seems I was the first to arrive and would simply wait for him to arrive. I just hope he didn't as this area was something that just felt off and I was abit unsure if I would be able to move the way I like.

" Guess I 'm here first "

I would look around to find spots I could use to my advantage.

Taken down some of the troops, I could see two soldiers stand out. One of them was that girl Nao. Me and her had some unfinished business and I would claim it. Seeing as Tak took on both of them I would make it a fair 2 vs 2. At the point Tak shot them both I would rush in and spit a ball of fire at them to burn them.
