History/Story
- History:
A cold winter night, while the stars were clear and bright as the lamps around the town, a certain woman gave birth to a crimson-haired child. The snow was falling softly, although it didn’t cover their view at the sky above them. Her husband was beside her, crying out of joy that the child seemed okay, until the heavens began to shine. What a strange phenomenon; it resembled northern lights, forming a kind of ray down towards the child. Light engulfed everyone and took away the parents’ sight for a brief moment, before it faded away and left the child unharmed, but not unaffected. That baby was born under the zodiac of Monoceros, and there was no doubt that these stars had bestowed their grace upon him… their own, special kind of aura was now a part of Imai. It appeared that he had been gifted by the sky, although the reason of this is yet unknown...
As time passed, the red-haired boy grew older, stronger. He reflected over the world and his surroundings, but his parents paid extra attention to his usual walk in the midnight. Watching the stars above him calmed Imai’s mind and soul, and his interest for them grew bigger. He began trying to learn all the constellations by heart, but sadly, he was the only one in his hometown, Shirotsume, who cared about them. Some kids even questioned themselves about why he spent more time learning about stars rather than magic, the latest craze. However, he couldn’t care less about their thoughts and kept looking at the skies every day in several years, until a sudden event grabbed him.
It was a regular night, just like the others, but Imai grew tired and suddenly collapsed on the cold ground beneath him. His body began to radiate with a blue, bright light that appeared to pull him upwards. He was quite scared in the beginning, but the light wouldn’t stop and even sent him beyond the atmosphere, all the way up to the stars themselves. It all happened within a bright moment, but he spotted the stars from a completely new perspective; although, he had no idea or knowledge of this phenomenon. The light pushed him even further, until he reached the star constellation Monoceros; the same zodiac that he was born in. Due to his knowledge about the stars and their positions, his surprise wasn’t added by the sudden unicorn in the distance; however, his feelings for stars were massively evolved. During this “travel”, he spotted many other constellations and their zodiacs, and ended at the end of the galaxy, where he finally woke up again…
Laying on the wet ground, now experienced with an unforgettable journey, he couldn’t but smile over the view of the bright stars in the sky. So little did he know of their origins, or what might exist up there. It was all still a little blurred for him, but he was assured that his interest for stars wasn’t something strange…
Someday, his parents decided to move. They had got enough of the massive increase in nobles in this area, all those rich bastards and their spoiled children, while their own family struggled to live, as they found pride in. They sought a household in Crocus, the capital of Fiore, and while his parents prepared the furniture, he went out to check the constellations on this part of the country. That was when a sudden falling star flew across the heaven, seemingly landing at the view of Sabertooth’s guild. This moment, his life would change even more, as he saw it as a sign to join the guild and finally make himself familiar with magic…
