*Ryota was a young boy, who had a happy life with his father and mother. His father was a blacksmith, who taught him how to forge metal and make weapons. His mother was a healer, who taught him how to use herbs, and magic to heal wounds, and illnesses. They lived in a small village that was peaceful, and prosperous. But one day, everything changed. A group of demons attacked the village, killing and burning everything in their path. Ryota's father fought bravely against the invaders, but he was outnumbered and overpowered*
Dad: "Run! Take Ryota and run!!"
*He died protecting his family, leaving behind his wife and son.*
*Ryota's mother grabbed him and ran away from the chaos, hoping to find a safe place to hide. But they were not lucky. The demons spotted them and chased them down. They caught up with them and grabbed Ryota's mother, dragging her away from him.*
Mother: "Run Ryota! Ru-"
*She was silenced. They laughed and taunted him, saying that he was next. They said that they would take his mother to their lord, who would torture her and turn her into his slave.*
Demons: "run boy~ run away. Your mommy will make a nice Little slave~"
*Ryota was terrified and helpless. He watched as his mother was taken away from him, screaming his name and begging him to save her.*
Mother: "please Ryota! I can't be a slave!! Please save m-"
*A demon knocked her out*
Demon: "have some honer. What kind of mother begs their child to go into danger"
*He tried to follow them, but he was too weak and slow. He fell to the ground, crying and cursing. He swore that he would never forgive the demons for what they had done. He swore that he would find his mother and rescue her. He swore that he would kill every demon in existence.*
Ryota: "I will kill you all!! YOU HEAR ME!!! I WILL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!!!"
*He spent the next three years of his life training and preparing for his quest. He collected everything he needed to make a demon-killing sword, using the materials, and techniques that his father had taught him. He forged a blade that was sharp and strong, infused with magic and fire. He named it akari, meaning light.*
Ryota: "this sword will be called akari, Named after my mother."
*He also learned how to fight and survive in the wild, using the skills and knowledge that his mother had taught him. He learned how to use his sword and magic, how to hunt and gather food, how to heal and protect himself.*
Ryota: "by combining the fire in my heart, and the love for my mother, with a Little magic. My sword is set a blaze."
*He became a young man who was brave and determined, but also lonely and bitter.*
*One day, he decided to go to violence city.*
*he went to the nearest bar, were he met a man who changed his life. He was a superhuman with many abilities and he was the vigilante of Violence City, a large and dangerous city where crime and corruption were rampant. He was older than Ryota, but he was skilled and fearless. He saw Ryota's potential and offered to team up with him.*
Old man: "hey kid. Nice sword you got there, I see that fire in your eyes. Unchecked it will hurt you, more than it will hurt your target. Why don't you let my guide your hate, and use it for good"
*Ryota agreed, hoping that this man could help him find his mother, and the demons who took her.*

Ryota: "I agree. I will let you teach me... I need help, and I need help finding my mother. She was taken by demons."
This man: "I cannot trust anyone, not even my mother, with my real name~ You may call me. the leader."
*Ryota also hoped that the leader could teach him more about the city, and how to fight better. They became partners and friends, traveling together and fighting crime. They faced many dangers and enemies, but they also had many adventures, and lots of fun.*
* Ryota learned a lot from the leader, not only about fighting, but also about life. He learned how to trust, and care for someone else, how to laugh and enjoy himself, how to hope, and dream again.*
Ryota: "this is so nice... Having someone in my life I don't hate..."
*He also met some humans who were cruel, and greedy, such as Shiro, a corrupt lord who hired them to kill a rival lord, but then betrayed them and tried to kill them too. He exploited his people and oppressed them with high taxes and harsh laws. Ryota and the leader killed him, and put a new ruler, in office, a good and peaceful ruler.*
*Ryota realized that the world was not black and white, but gray. He realized that he had to use his hatred, and revenge as power against the demons. He realized that he had missed out on many things in life.*
Ryota: "I can't believe everything i have missed... I feel so much better now."
*He began to wonder if his mother was still alive or if she had been killed by the demons long ago. He wondered if he could ever find her or if he was chasing a ghost. He wondered if he could ever be happy, or if he was doomed to suffer.*
*But he was not. He decided that he was going to use these new skills, and his flaming sword to kill all the demons, until he found his mother. But he and his partner needed help. They needed a team!*
*So they both went to find someone to help them, and they would meet back up at the hideout. Later that week, the leader went to find an alien in Dark City, and Ryota was going to find the guardian of the jungle in Japan.*
*As he was going through the jungle at night, he pulled out his flaming sword. And he sensed a great power coming from the north part of the jungle. So he started hiking that way. He came across many demons. He killed all of them without hesitation.*
Ryota: "this guardian lady sure is not doing her job!"
*He finally came upon her. what he saw was strange, There was a lady, floating in the air with a ball of fire around her. She was the one he was looking for, the guardian of the jungle. A kitsune. She was beautiful, wise, and a great warrior.
*Ren looked at the man with curiosity, and suspicion. She asked him his name.*
Ren: "what is your name traveler?"
Ryota: "I'm the son of a blacksmith, I lost my parents to the demons of earth. My name is Ryota."
*She had heard stories about him and his quest to find his mother, and kill the demon lord. She had also heard that he had a flaming sword, that was forged by him with the skills his father told him about. She wondered how he had found her, and why he wanted her to join his team.
Ren: "Who is the leader and what is your team for?"
*Ryota smiled and answered*
Ryota: "The leader is a superhuman who has ample abilities, and who is the vigilante of Violence City. He is my partner and friend, and he taught me a lot about fighting and surviving."
*Ren nodded, signaling for him to continue*
Ryota: "Our team is for fighting against demons, and their lord, who have caused so much pain, and suffering in the world. And to protect against foreign threats."
Ren: "how do you plan to keep the world safe with 3 people?"
Ryota: "We have already started looking for more allies who have special powers and skills, and who share our goal, and vision. You are one of them, Ren. You are the guardian of the jungle, a fire and dark kitsune who can control, flame's and shadows. You are powerful and wise, and you can help us a lot."
*Ren felt a mix of emotions, as she listened to Ryota. She felt flattered, and intrigued by his offer, but also weird and doubtful of his motives. She had lived in the forest for a long time, avoiding contact with humans and other beings.*
Ren: "I don't know"
*She had devoted herself to mastering the pendant and its power, and to communicating with Kira, who had stayed in the pendant, and had changed her attitude, about the world. She had learned to love and forgive her sister, and to hope for a better future for both of them. She had also learned to respect, and protect nature, and its creatures. who had welcomed and supported her. She was happy and peaceful in her home, but she also felt lonely and restless. She wondered if there was more to life than what she knew and had. She looked at the pendant around her belt, feeling Kira's presence inside it. She asked her sister,*
Ren: "What do you think, Kira? Should I join them?"
*Kira replied through the mental Link*
Kira: "I think you should do what you want, Ren. You have been a good sister to me, and I am grateful for that. You have also been a good guardian of the jungle, and I am so proud of you for that. But you have also been a good person, and I am happy for you."
*She continues through the link*
Kira: "You deserve to be happy, Ren. You deserve to have friends, and adventures. You deserve to have a purpose and a challenge. You deserve to have a choice and a chance to live!!. I took your happiness long ago... And I'm sorry. But You have been living in the past and it's time for the present, Ren. Maybe it's time to live in the future."
*Ren felt a surge of gratitude and affection towards Kira. She thanked her for her advice and support.*
Ren: "thank you so much... Sister"
*She also felt a surge of courage and curiosity. She decided to take a risk and try something new. She decided to join Ryota and his team.*
*She looked at Ryota with a mischievous grin*
Ren: "Okay, I'll join you. But I have some conditions. First, you have to respect me and my pendant, and never try to take it or destroy it. Second, you have to respect the nature and its creatures, and never harm them or exploit them, without needing to. Third, you have to respect the other members of your team, and never betray them or hurt them."
*She took a breath*
Ren: "Fourth, you have to respect yourself and your goal, and never give up, or lose hope. Do you agree?"
*Ryota nodded and he looked surprised*
Ryota: "I agree. Those are fair and reasonable conditions. I promise to follow them and to honor them. I'm glad that you have decided to join us, Ren. You won't regret it. We will be a great team, and we will make a difference. We will find your sister and my mother, and we will free them from the demons. We will fight the demon lord, and we will defeat him. We will save the world, and we will make it a better place."
*He extended his hand and said,*
Ryota: "Welcome to the team, Ren."
*Ren smiled and took his hand and said,*
Ren: "Thank you, Ryota. But don't worry about my sister she is fine."
*They shook hands and hugged, feeling a bond of friendship and trust. They left the forest and headed to dark city, where the leader and the other member was hopefully waiting for them. They were ready to start their journey and their mission.*
