It Is Fate?

It was the night when an elder man on the stage started talking, in his hands a portrait a young boys face. "Xie Jian was found guilty of stealing food from a store, we have sent guards who are disposing of him right now."

People in the crowd started whispering "Xie Jian? The cripple, the one who made the cursed blood moon appear when he was born."

Xie Jian was somewhat famous. When he was born the cursed blood moon appeared and the wind howled around the house with the smell of blood. Bai Zhou, Xie Jian's mother was killed during his birth and Xie Da, Xie Jian's father died a couple of days later, people started to say Xie Jian was a cursed child and stayed away from him. Xie Jian has lived a secluded and lonely life.

The day before Xie Jian was tested to have no spirit root, actually, he was to be empty, he had no organs and just had blood flowing inside of him, it was like he wasn't human. People heard that Xie Jian had no meridians they were disappointed. But right after Xie Jian's disappointing results the Patriarch's daughter went and got tested to having a grade 5 spirit root, the highest grade.

Everyone started to disperse, as the execution of a cripple wasn't a big deal for the clan as it happened often. While the meeting ended in the forest 10 miles away, a boy with holes leaking blood and sweat pouring out of his body.

This was Xie Jian the one who was being hunted for "stealing". Honestly, they were executing Xie Jian because he was cursed. The blood moon was a symbol of power belonging to the Fate Scryer, a legendary figure that was able to go against fate and gain the power of God, but anyone who gets close to him gets cursed by fate. The Fate Scryer couldn't take the loneliness anymore and self-destruct. This story was spread throughout the entire continent.

The blood moon spawned when Xie Jian was born meaning the boy had ties to the Fate Scryer, and due to his ties to the clan he might bring calamity to them. Xie Jian had filial ties to his parents so they died, and the clan might be the next to be affected by the power. So they decided to kill Xie Jian just in case, and why can't they Xie Jian is an orphan with no one protecting him.

After a while, Xie Jian's body couldn't take it anymore and fell down, living his last moment. The guards who were right behind him appeared and made sure Xie Jian was dead before running back to the clan to report the killing was successful.

As Xie Jian died a blood moon once again showed in the sky, the wind started picking up once again, and the smell of blood awakened the enitre clan. Xie Jian's soul started to separate from his body but with the temporary power of the blood moon said: "If I come back to this clan, I will get my revenge on everyone, YOU WILL ALL DIE!"

The clan was shocked by this shout as the wind started to die down and the moon started to turn back to its normal white color.

Xie Jian was distraught he had no idea why they killed him, or what the power he felt was. He wasn't even sure why he shouted those words. As his soul disappeared from the mortal plane he was terrified, what was going to happen to him?

He slowly opened his eyelids and saw a ... skeleton. It was wearing a hood, in his right hand, he held a scythe and his left hand a book. Xie Jian was terrified and shocked, so terrified and shocked that he couldn't even release a whimper.

The skeleton gave a stare that caused Xie Jian's non-existent body to get goosebumps, then said "Hello, the Banished One, I'm surprised a person of your race still exists. I thought the higher realm gods eliminated your race before you became powerful."

Seeing the skeleton didn't kill him immediately Xie Jian managed to ask "What is going on, sir, and why are you calling me the "Banished One" ?"

Death looked at the little child and laughed "Banished one, you sure are funny, being able to ask questions even when you are terrified, very admirable, since I like you so much I will tell you, the Banished Race, or previously know as the Evolvers, were a race of beings that are able to take the talent of others and make it there own constantly taking from others to form the perfect body. At one point the ancestor of the race called the Fate Scryer took the Fate Gland from the God of Fate and took the power to breeze through the troubles of fate. The gods got threatened by the ability of the Banished Race to adapt their powers and decided to all come together to eliminate them. Right now the power of fate flows is hidden within you and the Banished Race's blood flows through you... it is fate we met."
