"Who is that statue of?" Asked a young Ochako.

"I think that's prince Shouto who ruled 20 years ago," A young Deku answered.

"Yeah, he was a sad and lonely prince. He refused to marry so he gave the crown to his nephew, the son of Princess Fuyumi," Iida answered.

"Uh? why didn't marry?" Ochako asked in shock.

"It was because he fell in love with a witch," Mic announced.

"Wait so he was cursed?" Deku gasped.

"No, he was heartbroken cause he was tricked," Aizawa said.

"There is actually a story about that. It was a tragic story," Midnight added.

"Really, please tell us the story?" Ochako asked.

The others nodded as Midnight cleared her throat.

Come now, gather around

As Midnight sang more children gathered to listen to the story of Prince Shouto and the witch Y/n.

Y/n smiled as she gently hugged Shouto's arm as they walked through the beautiful gardens around the Kingdom. Shoto smiled lovingly as he knelt and plucked a beautiful flower as he tucked it behind Y/n's ears.

"No need for magic to stop

time, no spell can achieve what I feel"

"Love bounding through

every hour joy lights a new day "

Not too far away a line of church folk made their way back to the sanctuary, but one disciple, in particular, stopped to stare at the young lovers. At their blissful smiles as they strolled through the gardens. Her heart twisted in pain at the sight of her handsome prince, smiling at a beautiful woman who wasn't her. The other woman had beautiful flowing E/c hair and bright eyes, while the disciple women had dark eyes and shining black hair.

"Tied me tight to a cross,

I look longing at the sky"

"Penitence for your

crime! Penitence and your life!"

"If I pray, who will hear?

I am drowning in their cheers"

"Devotion

turned to dusty tombs"

"If my love was just a curse

then I have only tears to shed"

"Penitence for your

crime! Penitence and your life!"

"Let it light, let it burn out

bright and with it all your spite"

"Feel now the

weight of death and soon..."

Come now, open your eyes

lookup to flames in the sky

Come now, do not forget

those embers are the final judge

One time long long ago, there

lived a young witch in the land

Ah yes, he came to trick

the princess, so the story goes

"She kept all the

magic out of sight, how else

to achieve what you feel?"

Momo went up to the prince one fate full day barring a "Message from the Gods". Telling him the Woman he was in love with was an evil witch, simply using him to get power.

"You can't trust her, Prince Shoto. She will bring chaos to this kingdom if she gets her way," Momo said as she held a picture of Y/n.

Shoto didn't know what to say, yes he loved Y/n, but Momo is his best friend. H didn't know who to believe.

"If that love was just a

curse, then I have only tears to shed"

"We will do what we must!

Let it all turn to dust!"

"Let it light, let it burn

out bright we only do what's right"

"No hand to

help him find his way"

Shoto frowned slightly as Momo held his hand and continued to pray and chant to the gods. Y/n looked down at him with pleading eyes as tears ran down her cheek.

"Can't believe all the fools

I see! You fed them dirty lies!"

"Penitence for your

crime! Penitence and your life!"

"Searing flames rising

higher as the sun begins to die"

"Feel now the weight of death

and soon..."

Y/n walked along the stone path of the town when a strong breeze blew off her bonnet. Y/n gasped and quickly chased after it as the wind carried it a good distance away. Shoto was simply strolling around the town when he noticed a bonnet flying towards him. The bonnet fell into his hands as a beautiful woman stopped in front of him. Shoto's eyes widen as he took in the girl's beauty. Y/n smiled bashfully as Shoto handed back her bonnet.

Not too far away Momo noticed that Shoto was distracted by this stranger. Her heart twisted in jealousy as she ran to the sanctuary and prayed to the gods, jealousy, and hatred filled her heart as an Idea came to mind.

"No need for magic to stop

time, no spell can achieve what we feel"

"Love bounding through

every hour joy lights a new day "

"A witch's power comes from the length of her hair, just cut it off than she won't be a threat," Momo said as placed a hand on his shoulder.

Shoto looked down at his sword with conflicted eyes as he sighed and went to find Y/n.

"Tied me tight to a cross,

I look longing at the sky"

"Penitence for your

crime! Penitence and your life!"

"If I pray, who will hear?

I am drowning in their cheers"

"Devotion turned to dusty tombs"

"If my love was just a curse

then I have only tears to shed"

"Penitence for your crime!

Penitence and your life!"

"Let it light, let it burn out

bright and choke on all your spite!"

"No god can

help her find her way!"

Y/n sobbed as she realized that Shoto was not going to save her. With wind blew through her know chopped hair as she cried out in pain and sorrow.

Black wings sprouted from her back as the ropes binding her suddenly snapped off her. Everyone covered their faces as a strong gust of wind, while Shoto stared in awe. Y/n turned back to look at Shoto with nothing but sorrow in her eyes. With a flap of her wings, she took to the air and disappeared into the distance.

Shouto held out his hand as one of her lovely black feathers fluttered down into his hand. As Shoto stared down at the feather, tears slowly started to fall from his eyes as the weight of what he had lost started to weigh on him.
