A fallen Star

On an unfortunate day, a citizen of Tefastus was manipulated into turning off the light barrier that surrounds it, allowing darkness to enter. They wanted to steal the queen's blessing, but why take her when you can have a fresher source? So instead they decided to take her daughter Ikaru with them. This plan almost worked wouldn't it be for the Elite, they fought back with all their might. Ikaru managed to escape, but a gigantic shadow appeared and grabbed her. The Elite concentrated their fire on the shadow, accidentily hitting the hand that was holding the girl with a powerful attack. She fell from the sky as a result, unable to stabelize her position. So she fell further and further, burning like a meteor, surrounded by a golden light until eventually hitting the ground. To her surprise, she actually survived, but she was in a bad condition. Her entire body was burned badly, her hair and wings now destroyed from the fall. She was alone and scared here in this forest, but she could see a cottage nearby in which she found first aid.

On the same evening this happened, a boy was silently watching his mother prepare dinner out of boredom. He then noticed a shooting star outside, he witnessed it landing right in the woods next to their house, so he asked his mom if he could take a look. He rushed over to the place where the supposed star hit the earth. He could not find anything except a single half burned pink feather and crying in the distance. He followed the crying and found Ikaru, sitting in the cottage in a corner. After a calming conversation, the boy introduced himself as ???, he asked her if she wants to go home with him, since its safer there. So both walked back to his home, explaining everything to his mother when they arrive. From this day on they lived together, waking eachother up every morning, doing most things together all day long. Then after a couple months, someone knocked on the door. The mother opened and a demonic knight was standing right in front of the door. He was asking for a little girl that went missing, obviously asking for Ikaru. The girl was in shock from this and after a few seconds of silence passed, she ran towards the knight. She started shrouding herself in a dark aura and with a single well aimed hit, the knight went flying into the bushes on the other side of the road. Ikaru then ran away into the woods in her panic. From that day on, she was never seen again, which upset ??? deeply.

Several years passed without hearing of her. In the meantime, ???'s village was being burned down by a group of terrorists, so all of the villagers had to be evacuated with a boat. While they swam down the river, their boat got attacked too, which resulted in all of them falling off. ??? and his mother washed up somewhere far off their village, somewhere at the edge of the Steel Realm. They wandered off until they reached a scrapyard, upon entering it, several magic powered defense mechanisms were triggered. Guard dog-like scrap monster approached them with a lot of noise, which eventually drew the attention of the person that lives here. It was none other than Ikaru, so their paths crossed once again.
