To any regular person Eranda Basho, more commonly known simply as Eranda, would seem like any other place. Well, to be honest, for the most part it is. Buildings, people, animals, all normal.

 

Except for the Hozei-Zumi.

 

The Hozei-Zumi are certain people born with special gifts (or curses as some people believe). Each person will have a mark somewhere on their bodies, a birthmark in the shape of an animal.

 

What is this strange mark? Where did these powers come from? Why were these people given these abilities in the first place? Much is still unknown about them. If the Hozei-Zumi themselves know any of the answers to these questions they certainly aren't sharing.

 

Outcast for their differences or revered for their incredible abilities, the Hozei-Zumi are always treated differently by regular people so they try to keep to themselves or hide their marks to try and fit in. Some even seek out other gifted people and form groups with them.

 

Or some, like 17 year old Kiiro Yonaka, couldn't give a damn what others think of them and do whatever the hell they want.

 

But things are about to change.

 

So this is a story I'm working on, not really got a cover for it as of yet so for now I'll just be using a picture of an egg that may or may not be important to the story...
