This story happends several thousends of yeard before the actual rp events happend. Its a myth that is passed down as a story to Onis. About the Oni that was first to fullfill their lifes goal. To master the art of all combat.
Everything began from the small island, which had a gargantuan mountain in a middle. A setting sun was giving its bright light at the beach where the young woman was roasting fishes for the meal. She had an antler-like horns, pointy ears long white hair with black tips, golden pupils in the eyes and she was wearing a white Kimono. Some could see a long dragon-like tail. As the woman was roasting the meal, a young boy with short horns, not antler like tho and without pointy ears nor tail, was aproaching her from behind. The name of the boy was Osoru and the name of the girl was... Gomoza.

"What happend?" Gomoza asked, turning around to the boy.

*"Its been a while since we ran away from those humans."*

"... When are you going to kill me?" Osoru finally asked, the woman turned around from her preparing meal walked up to him and patted him.
"I told you to come and follow me, didn't I already explain it? I see you like my younger brother.. In other words you are a part of my family." She explained to him. He tried to push her hand away, but wasn't strong enough. "family?" He asked.

"Hmm.. Oh, ummm... How to explain this to you" She wondered as she got up "Anyway, we are going to live here together." she said and as soon as she did, Boy with a schocked look in his eyes looked around the desert island. "Live here?"

"Oh, don't worry, with me here this island is like a paradise..." She didn't finished as she smelled that something is burning.. Her fishes...
"Oh no!" She ran up to them and started blowing some air at them, hoping she may safe them.

*"... Can I really trust her if she can't even cook a fish?"*

But her hands weren't the hands of a cook... Those were a hands of warrior.

A bit later that day, Osoru and Gomoza could notice a boats filled with group of people of what looked like an elves with their long hair and pointy ears. As soon as they landed on the island, they drew their weapons, pointing them at the pair. However, Gomuza didn't wait as soon as first of them rushed at them, she knocked him down in a fast move of the sword, hidden in her scabbard.
"I am not planning on killing any of you... You can go to where you came from, however if you look for a place you want to stay at then Mountain Gomoza will welcome you."
Still unsure if fight want start, Osoru clenched his hands into fist and was about to step forward, but Gomoza hand stopped him.
"Untill you can protect yourself, you shall stand behind me."
Thats what she told to young Oni child, that since that day was looking up to her and how powerful she was.

Those times were the times of great wars and Refugees were often coming to island called now Mt.Gomoza. Elves, Dwarfs, Orcs, Faries, Humans and more, either they came peacefully or were aggressive and defeated by Gomoza, all of them with their friends and pokemons became the part of our family.
---

Gomoza only fought for the family and eventually raised it numbers.. From the two creatures, to a village and then a quite big town.

Osoru never truly understood, what she meant when she was saying about 'family'. He just followed her everywhere she went while still being protected by her.

"What are you doing here alone, Osoru?" Gomoza asked boy with a smile, while everyone was holding a great party and dances, she took boy by the hand with a smile "Come and join us!" a boy that would in past push away her hand simply went with her to others.
Yes.. His mind crossed the thought that family may be the ones we can always count on.

*-----*

Almost every day loud voices of crushed and falling trees could be heard in the morning.
Group of two humans and dwarf were sitting by the edge if a beach.
"Which time is it now? Fifth?"
"At least seventh" one human answered on second human question.
"Really, if he is this full of energy, then he should help us around the island" second human complained, what caused dwarf to laught a bit.
"When it comes to a young one and Lady Gomoza... They are going to destroy our entire forest if they keep up doing this."

What they were refering to was intense trainings that young child of Oni was taking by everyday sparring with Gomoza. Every time they sparred, it ended up with Gomoza being the winner, as she was bigger, stronger and more expierienced than the boy, but each time he fell, he wanted to continue.
And then.. As usually the ships of pirates or other groups could be seen.
"Enemies are swimming toward the island!" The warning could be heard everywhere, causing Osoru and Gomoza to stop the spar.
"Osoru, Protect Mountain Gomoza. I shall return soon" was what she always was saying.
"Although I am already strong... You never let me fight alongside you" This whisper also left boys lips every single time.

5 months after they arrived at the island has passed.

Gomoza took Osoru for a test of his martial strenght. Both of them hold their swords in hands, although Osoru sword was much shorter. Around them townsfolk of Mountain Gomoza was about to watch the battle that was about to begin.
"He is still a shrimp, ain't he?" some would have comment.
"This shrimp is still by far stronger than any of us" some would reply to them.
And they started, most of the time Oni couldn't even catch up to her and after few minutes Osoru, with a jump he made a thrust towards her head, but it was quickly parried and she was about to thrust too as follow up, while Osoru was mid-air. He stabbed the ground with his sword and circled kicking her weapon away. He stood up, with his sword at hand and townsfolk cherished on the show.
Gomoza didn't lost yet tho, her tail quickly wrapping on Osoru leg, she throw him away at the rock.
"Ugh..."
"Heh, if you want to defeat me. You need to be taller first" Gomoza chuckled, but her face expression quickly changed.
"You-..." Osoru didn't finish as he turned around to see what she sees... Another pirate ship.
Gomoza walked up to Osoru, he knew what she was going to say... No, not this time. He can't stay behind again when she fights for them. Maybe he is just 7, but still...
"Osoru, you...-" She didn't finish as Osoru ran in the ship direction "Let's go, Gomoza!" He yelled after her.
Although she was shocked and she could stop him, she didn't. Chuckling a bit and smiling as if she was proud of her little brother, she turned to one of the elder humans. "Crom, I leave Gomoza mountain under your care till we get back"
The elder man just smiled back "Good luck, Lady Gomoza"

From that day onward, Osoru fought by her side and any treasure he got from their invaders they took back to the island.
And thats how island grow to be more and more rich, meanwhile Young Oni that was yet to take first steps to his legend of becoming one of the strongest, trained like crazy every single day.
