Darkness
Everything
A blank Slate all around
This is All Rah Saw
He was at Peace and he loved it
There was no clanging, No Guards yelling
His Heart wasn't hurting looking at the Slaves losing hope in their eyes
But the Surroundings around him began changing
What was once a canvas of pure Darkness turned into a lively world
And Rah, he was a spectator
Rah saw a Five-year-old boy holding a wooden sword and looking at a Tall muscular man with Brown Skin
The Man was shirtless and sweating but Rah couldn't see his face but he smiled because he recognized him
That was his
"Father…" Rah whispered with a smile on his face
His father began speaking and it was full of authority and confidence
"Listen Rah, I and your mother aren't always gonna be around to protect you…or your sister"
"She is two right now and in the future until she finds her own family, she will need a protector" The man spoke as he swung his sword hard with sweat dripping off his body
"You're her big brother so that responsibility goes onto you if I'm not here," The man says swinging even harder creating an air ripple
"I don't think I'll be as strong as you Father" Kid Rah says sadly as his Father freezes and turns to face him
"Don't ever doubt yourself again Rah, Your name means you'll surpass me even if you don't want to," The Man says before stabbing his sword into the ground
"You think I was always strong? Ask your mom, I was getting beat left and right"
"I was a Slave until the Fire within me broke free and saved me from my destiny," He says stroking his beard
"We Solnarians are Human, the Gods just blessed us differently from the normal ones…That blessing is Fire"
"Our Fire Magic makes us feared Rah, Even if you are "weak" right now, you'll be up there with me one day"
"As strong as you? Father, is that even possible? The Seven Continents know your name" Rah says as his father chuckled
"Hahaha, There are alot of people who have tales about them, those are exaggerated"
"But father….You did face the Church's entire Army" Rah says as his father ruffles his hair
"The Entire Army is crazy who would send their entire forces after me, It was more like half of their Army," His Father says to him with a smile
"Now look at this Move I'll teach you Rah, The First Attack of my Phoenix Blade" The Man says seriously taking his Sword as his muscles began Tensing
The Sword Caught on fire with a Wild but controlled Fire that burned with Purpose
"….Phoenix Blade?" Little Rah whispered amazed reached for the fire instinctively but stopped feeling the heat radiating off of it
"Ember Crescent" His father whispered as the fire seemed to disappear as he slashed
"Huh?" Rah whispered before he was pushed into his butt by a huge force
The Forest was cut in half by a fiery slash and trees cut in half were forced into the air on fire
"That was a weak version Rah, You should see what I can do when I'm letting loose," His Father says turning around seeing Rah on the ground scratching his head
"Umm Father," Rah says picking himself up off the ground and dusting off his pants
"Yeah?"
"I don't think I'm ready for that," Rah says sheepishly
"Oh… you're right, let's teach you something simple like Fire Bolt or something," His Father says before he looks at the forest as his flames stop burning
"First tho, let's get these trees chopped and carried to the Village"

*Groan*
Rah was on a bed in some infirmary with pants on but was covered in bandages from his neck down
"*Groan* My head hurts," Rah says weakly as he couldn't even feel his limbs as he slowly opened his eyes
When he finally opened his eyes, His Vision was blurry but with what felt like Fire running through his veins he pushed himself up
Rah rubbed his eyes trying to get his vision back before he looked around, He saw that he was in a bed in a medical bay of some sort
He pushed himself off the bed and his knees almost buckled but he caught himself before he fell.
"…Father," He said to himself remembering his dream before he heard snoring making his head snap in the direction of another bed
What he saw was a huge black and white humanoid Tiger also covered in bandages sleeping widely snoring
Rahs' confused face quickly became a sharp grin and he limped over to the sleeping tiger
"Akanni, wake up," Rah said as he hit the tiger's stomach hard making the Tiger jump up
"…Huh?" The Tiger immediately gained a serious look before he saw Rah gaining a little smirk
"Seems we made it out alive Akanni," Rah says looking around the room as Akanni nods
"It seems so…do you smell that?" Akanni says sniffing the air getting off the bed as his stomach growls
Rahs' ear twitched a little as he slowly turned his head toward Akanni with a sly smile
"Food/Food"
Akanni gets up and Rah jumps on his back as Akanni runs out the door toward the smell of the food
They ran down multiple corridors until they reached the mess hall
There they saw most of the freed Slaves eating food
Everyone there stopped eating and looked at them with shocked and awed faces
The two didn't care as it felt like their stomachs were eating themselves as Rah jumped off Akannis' back
The two got three plates each and without sitting down devoured the plates one by one
*Burp* *Burp*
Rah stood still as he glanced at everyone looking at him and Akanni before turning to face Akanni leaning in close
"I just remembered where we were" Rah whispered to Akanni who nodded
"We wasted food what if people didn't eat" Rah continued as Akanni began to speak as everyone in the room stood up from their seats
"I'll just bring them the bodies of dead beasts, I felt my stomach eating itself," Akanni said as he patted his stomach
Without saying anything, one by one the former slaves got onto their knees and bowed
"Huh?" Rah says confused as he watched all of them how
Akanni just stood there
In Unison, they all screamed, "Thank you Rah and Akanni!!"
One of the ones in the front lifted his head with tears running down his face
"THANK YOU!!, We thought we'd be slaves forever" The man says wiping his tears standing up
The man was someone Rah recognized as Morgan, He had Blue hair and sharp eyes with a scar spanning across his toned face
Seeing this man cry Rah dropped his head before he dropped to his knees and bowed
"No" Rah spoke loudly with confidence
"Thank you all," Rah says pushing his face to the ground
"Because of you all, I now have something to fight for other than my personal reasons"
"I promise to you all, you'll never see that darkness ever again…I swear The Sun will always shine over you from here on out"
Rah looked up showing his face which looked serious
"If I fail at that…I'll take my own life"
