in a mystical and fantasy land
a class of weary students had been trudging their tired legs for 20 miles
when coming back after being on a class trip their path was blocked by a collision of rocks making their way back home impossible
so they were forced to walk for ages until they found somewhere they could rest before trying to get back home tomorrow
luckily they were met with a passing blacksmith that was gathering wood for a nearby town but although shoji said the town was close, the students and even teachers were too tired to make another long journey
but he was kind enough to lend a hand with their tents as they set up camp, offering to use the wood for their campfire, saying that he would help them to the town when it the sun begins to shine again
they all ate their freshly prepared dinner (rabbit) and it wasn't long until all were fast asleep
well, that's what they made the teachers belive
"how long do you think it'll take for the paths to get uncluttered?" asked a green-haired boy named midoriya
"probably another day" sighed mina
"at least we can rest now, my feet are killing me," Kiminari said dramatically
"yeah, I mean have you seen the sky outside, it's breathtaking" momo sighed happily
"Nothing could be more beautiful," occhaco said, looking towards the sky
"well you would be wrong on that account" a new voice interjected their conversation
all students faced towards the new voice
it was the blacksmith shoji, he was just outside camp polishing his tools
"what do you mean, what could more majestic than this," Jiro asked sceptically
it only then did shoji stop polishing his weapons, coming closer to the students ready to tell his tale

"there's a legend that rides within a nearby cemetery" shoji began
"He is said to be neither a spirit nor a ghost, nor just a forgotten ancient God, something out of this world who resides in this wide and vast forest land is said to haunt the holy grounds, and goes by the title of the "siren spirit", although his real name is said to be tokoyami fumikage. he is said to be the most beautiful creature in and out of the universe. as well as his dancing to be memorising and graceful as his kindness.
the description of this God-like creature had all the students captivated, but shoji knew he needed to stop, it was already so late and he had to get more wood for tomorrow
"Ok, I think that's enough story time, see you all in the morning" shoji finished, heading back into the woods
but shoji's cliff-hanger made sure none of them was ready to sleep
and it wasn't long till a student decided to see if these rumours were true
"Kimi what are doing ?" asked an anxious midoriya
"come on, I can't be the only one wanting to know if that legend is true" kiminari answered
to which he found himself correct as more and more students started to follow him
luckily for them, shoji had pointed the direction of the cemetery in his story
at it wasn't long until they had reached the shadowy and foggy graveyard
creeping slowly towards a distant voice
hiding within the bushes so they wouldn't spook it
they were met with the most spectacular sight
a beautiful being that was singing had very long feathers that were styled in a braid, flowing by a foot or four when he walks (4 feet longer than his own body length), very very pale skin but with the most blooded and vibrant eyes. Shadows coil under his feet and darkness was brought whenever he is present, he was barefoot so those sparkling crystals would grow everywhere he walked. he held a single rose with thorns, and wore long and elegant black cloak or coat. The crows would follow his movements and they would always be there when he is present, as they danced with him in within the midnight glow

they were so immersed in the sight that they didn't notice shoji behind them, he was ready to scold them for not staying within the campsite, but it wasn't long till he to was immersed in the sight, it even brought a tear to his eye
tokoyami was seated on top of a headstone with his back turned to them while they hear him singing a beautiful and mesmerizing tune. he hopped off the headstone and twirled gracefully
but soon the singing and dancing stopped as the being began to float through the woods in rapid speed
and thus bringing their private show to an end
the students were sent back to the campsite both happy that they were able to witness such an extraordinary event
yet upset that they couldn't meet the spirit personally
the next morning all the students and teachers went to the town to ask the villagers to help them with the collision
but when they got back to the path
they saw it to be cleared of all rocks and stones
the only thing left
were the shining crystals

The Merchant Prince Book 1: Returning Home
Enter a world of deceit and assassins. Augustus DeCastellian is a member of a wealthy merchant family, with ports all over the known world. He is sent on a voyage to new lands to open trade routes, but when he returns he will need to fight, using his tools of manipulation and cunning, for what he is owed.Author's note: This story is somewhat slow-paced, especially in comparison to the norm on Royal Road. The first three chapters act almost as a prologue, to give you a feel for what the rest of the story will be like. So, I suggest new readers try to get to the end of chapter 3 before deciding if this story is for them.A few of my reviews have said that this story is abnormal for Royal Road. I agree with that sentiment, at least based on what I've read on the site. It was just an idea that was in my head, that I began trying to write once my hobbies were cancelled due to the virus. I found Royal Road after I started writing it. Honestly, it's probably not even tailored for the web-novel format. But it's the story I wanted to tell. Discord: https://discord.gg/sk63gep

The young man remembered. Through flames and ocean, he fought, all to be the symbol of hope. He started with a fist, then a gun, now a psychic blade.
