'is he. . . slowing down?. . .'

"Shigaraki. . . stop. . ."

"And you say I'm the crazy one!"

"I'm serious, stop"

Shigaraki slowed to a halt, chest heaving as he put izuku down and turned, no longer seeing the beastly general, but instead seeing a blackish lump on the ground

"what in the hell?" Shigaraki mumbled as he walked over to the lump, "humans are against magic, so it wasn't them that did this right?" izuku stated, following behind Shigaraki

"they do, but then again, they did use magic on the ballista" shigaraki said, taking out his sword as he got closer, "yeah but even the emperor was surprised" izuku said, also getting out his fighting staff

"it could have been something to throw off the humans, if they knew that their emperor would turn his own general into a beast just to kill an elf and demon, what would he do to kill off an army?"

"mmh. . . something just doesn't seem right. . ."

"what do you mean?"

"it's just. . . i feel like i've seen this all before. . . like i've been through this. . ."

"deja vu maybe?"

". . . yeah. . . maybe"

once the two got to the lump, they saw the beastly body of the general, the only human remains were the ribs, sticking out of the black flesh, "this is just gruesome" shigaraki said, moving the flesh with his sword, but as he did, something caught izuku's eye, a mark on the back

"what's that?" izuku said, kneeling down and moving the flesh with his staff to get a better look at the mark, "i don't see anything" shigaraki said, confused, "it's right there" izuku said, seeing a double headed snake imprinted on the back

"izuku there's nothing ther- WAIT DON'T TOUCH IT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'LL DO!!! IZUK-"

izuku was no longer listening, his focus glued on the mark as he reached his hand out to touch the mark, a purple glow erupting from it, mixing with a green hue coming from izuku's hand, but after just lightly touching the mark, his skin started to burn, and images flooded through his head, a voice speaking in his ear

"izuku"

he saw a cloaked figure

"izuku"

purple eyes seemed to pierce his green eyes

"izu-KU"

a smile was plastered on his face

"IZUKU!!!"

izuku seemed to snap back to reality, blinking a few times before looking around, seeing where he was, "wha- whe-. . . " izuku stammered as he laid his eyes on shigaraki's worried face, "don't worry, you're still in the woods" shigaraki said

"wh- where's the- uh. . . the. . ." izuku looked at shigaraki for help, trying to figure out the words, "the general? he's still there, i had to drag you away from the body, it was doing something to you, it was like it put you in a trance" shigaraki explained

"a. . .trance. . .?"

. . .

the cloaked man fell to the ground, coughing up blood as his chest ached, "FATHER!" his son yelled, running to his the fallen king, " damn it. . ." "do i need to get-" "NO! i just need rest" the man said, shoving his son off, and standing up

" but dad, it's getting worse, you need help" his son said, ". . . perhaps you are right. . . but son. . . there is only one why to heal this curse. . . " "what is it father?"

". . . you need to find the elder elf. . .
