The night when a pregnant woman was giving birth to a child, she was crying in pain while his elder son is calming her down and the child is born "Kai, please take care of your brother.... His name is Kasai" and his mother passed away. After 4 years Kai got Ordered to infilrate the Shadow Troupe's base and kill the leader. Kai invaded the base and killed some Troupe soldiers, and after he killed the soldiers he went to the Palace and fought pro members that use some kind of magic in their swords, so Kai quickly did the same but with different element. His element was Fire or should we say Phoenix, So Kai fought pro soldiers but let the young pro live. Kai and The Troupe Leader fought "How dare you stop the Shadow Troupe" said by the Leader and Kai said "I am ordered to kill you, and you killed many lives" then the leader ran to Kai and swinged his sword and Kai dodged then Kai became fast, the leader can't see Kai and then Kai sliced the leader's head and burned the base. Kai went home at the morning and his brother Kasai hugged Kai and Kai's wife gave him bread. They went to their house and ate their foods and played some board games, they have a happy family but weeks later, The Troupe raided Kai's village and the Samurais came to rescue and killed some but the Troupe was too strong because of their spells in their swords, and the houses we're burning, villagers are getting killed, and the samurais got killed by the young troupe member that Kai let lived. Kai used his magic powers on his sword and killed some Troupe soldiers but Kai got killed like the same way he killed the leader and his killer was the young troupe member "This is what you get" said by the young troupe member. Kasai saw everything but he has nothing to do but to run, he almost got killed by the troupe but Kai's wife saved Kasai and got killed, Kasai got away from the village and ran into a guy with white hair and broken horns and Kasai got knocked out, Hours later Kasai woke up inside a snowy mountain with cherry blossoms, Kasai was actually save by an Oni, not a human. Kasai got scared of the guy but the retired samurai told Kasai to calm down, and said that he will make Kasai strong. Kasai started lifting crates and delivering it to villagers from another town, he will do this 50 times a week for endurance and Kasai climbed on the top of the mountain for agility, Kasai pulled two rocks at the same time for speed, he did this for 4 years to get this perfect. Kasai is now 16 years old, and the oni and the old veteran came back to see Kasai and they told Kasai their names, The oni's name is Hikaru, and the old veteran's name is Yudai. Hikaru told his backstory to Kasai, "I was born in the place where onis lived, i'm a rebel to my clan, i betrayed the other onis just to be kind, my clan let me go and i met the samurai general, he hired me when i was 14 and trained me to be strong. After i got strong, i learned that my clan was killed by the Shinigami. the reason why i betrayed my clan, is because they we're eating humans that i felt bad for the humanity" said by Hikaru "Anyways Kasai, i will teach you Casts And Incantations" said by Hikaru. "Casts and Incantations are magic spells used on combat. Casts are magic spells to enhance your sword and Incantations are secondary powers, the elements of Casts are Fire,Lightning,Dark,Thunder,Inferno,Ice,Phoenix and Light And Shadow. The Troupe used dark cast to kill your brother and your brother used Phoenix Cast. The Elements of Incantations are Chiyu,Kokumajutsu,Hono Ryu, Chiyu is a fruit made out of your cast that can heal your wounds, Kokumajustu are used by the Troupe to use their shadow as their shield and Hono Ryu are wings made out of fire or called Wings Of Phoenix but Casts And Incantations are rare and can only be found by strong and brave samurai, i have only seen the phoenix child when i was travelling in the snowy woods, the phoenix child can give you the phoenix cast by trading the golden sunflower but i have a tip for you, the phoenix child only stays in the coldest places and i have the golden sunflower and you can only get it if you beat me in a sword duel" said by Hikaru and Hikaru teached Kasai on how to use a katana and after 3 months Kasai and Hikaru are gonna fight. Hikaru said "Kill me since i can regenerate" and Kasai swinged his sword to Hikaru but Hikaru dodged, Kasai throwed Snow as a distraction then sliced Hikaru in half. Hikaru gave Kasai the golden sunflower and Kasai prepared his armor and katana, He went to the coldest mountain and saw the Phoenix Child, The Phoenix's appearance was a humanoid-figure glowing like a sun, always sitting and sobbing. Kasai talked to the Phoenix Child "You're not my creation, but i can give you a powerful cast for the golden sunflower" said by the Phoenix Child, Kasai gave the sunflower and the child throwed fireballs at Kasai then the fireballs went to Kasai's body and Kasai said "My body... Feels hot inside" and The Phoenix said "That is my power..." and Kasai got knocked out by the Phoenix Child. Kasai then woke up back to Hikaru, Kasai tested his Power and his sword started to have fire, Kasai is ready to seek revenge to the Troupe and After 3 days Kasai mastered the Phoenix Cast and sneaked to the new base of the troupe, Kasai slayed 5 Troupe Soldiers and some Troupe soldiers used Dark Cast, Kasai's arm got sliced but he used Incantation "Chiyu!" said by Kasai and his arm returned and killed some troupe soldiers. Kasai and the young troupe will fight but the young troupe's name was Kurai and is 18 years old, Kasai said "You will pay for killing my brother and my clan" Kurai then said "Oh? I was seeking for revenge too, my leader was like a father to me, i did the best" Kasai got angry then spinned his sword to Kurai but Kurai dodged and said "Kokumajutsu!" and Shadow starts protecting Kurai and turning into an armor, Kasai pointed his katana to Kurai and doing the Kamae sword pose then the fire in his sword became stronger and Kasai said "Hono Ryu!" Kasai started to have phoenix wings and striked to Kurai and burning his Shadow Shield and His Katana, Kasai then tied Kurai's hands and the Samurais from another town arrested him. Kasai then went back to Hikaru and Hikaru said "Good job on defeating him" and they ate dinner and went to the closest village to live on their own. The End
