Reborn from the ashes from hell

Izuku POV

Why would I have had emotional pain when I didn't know what it was in the first place. I can only tell you exhaustion and training. I didn't really have anything friends or things to lose to feel that kind of pain. But the moment I lost my freedom, I felt the pain.

Flashback

I lean my body headed west, and my wings carried me there slowly but it is getting faster and faster and I was already whizzing around. The feeling of being free, feeling the wind in my hair in the feathers on my body, seeing so many colors. It was simply amazing. Wow.

Seeing the glowing fireball slowly disappearing into the water, so to speak, and seeing the moon that I had only read about was something I didn't think existed. I felt so many emotions right then. That it got even warmer inside me. This must be a sunset. When the fireball slowly goes down and the moon emerges from the other side.

The colors are really wonderful. The blue, the purple, the red, the yellow, the orange. I fly closer and closer to it at high speed, but somehow it is still an infinite distance away from me. I feel so far away, yet so close. I've never felt so alive, like I've been in a block of ice in my whole life and we've finally broken free.

As they say, people have two lives, the second begins and the first ends when they realize that they only have one life.

These words made no sense when I first read them. But now, now we make sense.

I walk slowly into the depths close to the water It glows and sparkles, and I dip my hand up and splashes of water fly everywhere. I open my mouth and let out a happy laugh. Oh, how wonderful life still is Why do you have to live in this deep pit for so long when people have things like this?

I've never seen the water so still with little ripples the sun so bright with so many colors the moon so big. Do people always see that? I should please look at myself when I just got something, so I don't feel jealous of the people who could enjoy such splendor every day. I feel more the freedom that wraps itself around me.

 I fly upwards. I still can't see anything. Just water all around me. I turn in circles. Nothing at all.

I stop in mid-air for a moment. In which direction am I heading and in which direction is the facility? Have I forgotten where is where in this spin? Only for a few seconds did I feel despair as I remembered that I was heading towards the sun, flying and the moon behind me.

Only a small piece of the sun was still visible. I feared being in complete darkness when the moon would come all the way and the sun would disappear completely. But surprisingly, that wasn't the case.

After the sun disappeared completely, I was lost for words to see all these little suns around the moon. They were little glittering stars. As if someone had thrown a pile of white stones into the sky, one of these suns moved. And left a trail behind it. Star that moved, that's interesting.

Then there was another star, shining red and green, and its light went out and on and out and on. Was that even a star?

At first, you might think it's great to fly, to glide through the clouds like on waves. And it's really great I'm not saying anything against it but the bugs were a nuisance and eventually reappeared. I had to swim for water to get out of their way. And bugs were flying in my face the whole time.

I can no longer laugh and smile. I have to keep my mouth shut. The so calm water now became not so transparent and shiny but it has taken a black dark black if what they swallowed would no longer spit you out. But the air feels so fresh and no longer warm.

I love life

I love freedom

I love it

The third of the cold is just gone. I've never been so grateful.

Because even in the darkness I feel like a bright flame
