《The God Hashira》Chapter 5: Hello New People
Advertisement
Edward: So this is the place, huh.
Edward is currently outside of the building where the demon is supposedly hiding.
Edward: Welp, time to survey the surroundings.
He starts walking around the front but stops when he's standing right in front of a dead body.
Edward leans down to check the body, "Hmm, seems as tho they suffered a severe amount of blunt force as the killing blow. Must of fallen from that balcony."
Edward looks from the top story balcony to the front entry way.
Edward: Well, whatever. Time to slay.
He enters through the front with no concern whatsoever.
Edward enters a room on his right and suddenly hears a drum. When he turns back around, he finds himself in a completely different room altogether.
Edward: This will be confusing.
As he makes his way from room to room, every now and then he would hear voices and then appear somewhere else.
Edward: I despise this with every fiber of my being...... and I have a lot of being.
Taking a turn, Edward finds himself in a hall with a shirtless person wearing a boar mask.
Edward: That isn't very efficient.
The boar masked person turns towards Edward, "And who the hell are you supposed to be?"
Edward sticks his hand out, "I'm Edward, pleased to meet you."
Boar mask doesn't take Edward's hand, "I'm Inosuke Hashibira, don't you forget that White."
Edward: White?
Inosuke points out, "Yeah! You wear a ridiculous amount of white!"
Edward: First, no need to yell. Second, White is a cool color.
Inosuke: No it isn't!
Edward: Yes it is!
Inosuke: No it isn't!
Edward waves his hands In front of himself, "Whatever, now isn't the time to argue. Have you seen any demons here?"
Inosuke points behind him, "Yeah, I killed one unlike you."

Edward: I just got here, you can't blame me.
The two are interrupted by the sound of thunder. Edward turns to Inosuke...
Edward: Go outside and scout the area for any escaping demons trying to escape in the shade of the treeline.
Inosuke: Don't tell me what to do!
Although he argued, Inosuke still did what he was told.
Edward: He is a very strange one. Now, time to investigate.
Edward makes his way to where he heard the sound. To his surprise, he finds a very yellow person clinging to a young boy while thanking him for saving him.
Edward gains the attention of the two, "Hey!"
They turn toward Edward, "Go and find your way outside. Whatever is making the rooms change seems to have calmed down so you should be able to find your way out without any trouble."
The two nod and go to leave but before they do, the youngest turns to Edward.
???: Can you find my siblings? There still somewhere inside!
Edward nods, "I'll do what I can."
Edward leaves and continues to search the building. After a bit of searching, Edward finds a very tired Tanjiro.
Edward goes to help him stand, "Easy there slayer, don't want to get hurt now, do ya?"
Tanjiro: Edward!?
Tanjiro, being really tired, doesn't make too loud of a sound but still is surprised.
Edward: Yup, the one and lonely.
Tanjiro laughs slightly before grabing his ribs in pain.
Edward: Come on, lets get you outside.
Tanjiro stops Edward, "Not yet, we still need to get Kiyoshi and Teruko."
Edward nods, "Lead the way."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having collected the two frightened children, Edward and Tanjiro make their way back outside.
Upon making their way out, Tanjiro and Edward see that the yellow haired boy is protecting a box from Inosuke.

Tanjiro: Nezuko!
Edward, looking between the two, figures out the situation and rushes to stop Inosuke.
Edward grabs Inosuke's foot to stop him from stepping on the yellow haired boy and the box housing Nezuko.
Inosuke turns towards Edward,"What the hell do you think your doing! There's a damn demon in this!"
Edward: I do not care. What I care about is that you're harming a fellow demon slayer.
Inosuke looks at Edward with disbelief. Edward stays unwavering.
Inosuke backs off for a second before attacking Edward.
Edward counters with a dodge and a chop to the back of the neck which knocks Inosuke out.
Edward dusts his hands off and turns back to back to everyone who is staring at him in shock.
Edward: What?
Yellow Haired Boy: How did you do that!?
Edward: What? This. I learned to do this from training.
Edward turns to the yellow haired boy, "May I ask, what is your name?"
T.Y.H.B: Zenitsu Agatsuma.
Edward gives Zenitsu a handshake, "Thank you for protecting this box."
Zenitsu doesn't really know how to respond, "Uhh.. your welcome.... do you know what's in that box?"
Edward smiles, "I am very much aware. It doesn't bother me slightly."
Tanjiro walks up to the two, "So um, how are we going to keep those kids safe from demons when we leave?"
Edward looks from Tanjiro to the kids then back. He takes a few seconds to thinks then comes up with an idea.
Edward walks up the kids, "Do you kids know how to get home."
The child, Kiyoshi responds, "Yes, we can get home from here."
Edward: Good. Here, I have something that should keep you safe.
Edward takes out a bag of wisteria and gives it to the kids.
Edward: Demons hate that stuff. As long as you have that in your possession you'll be a-okay.
Teruko: Thanks for your help mister!
Edward straightens out and smiles, "I just did what any demon slayer would. You all be safe now, we must be on our way."
Edward walks back over to Zenitsu and Tanjiro, "We should get going now."
Zenitsu: Wait, what about him?
Zenitsu points to Inosuke who is still knocked out on the ground. Turns out that when Edward knocked him out, he also knocked off the boar mask, revealing Inosuke's feminine face.
Edward: Huh, he looks like a girl. Alright, I'll carry him.
He picks up Inosuke and puts him over his shoulder.
Edward: I know a place down the mountain where we can rest. I'll lead us there.
And with that, Edward, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke and Nezuko make there way to where Edward says they can rest. They must always be ready for another fight.

8 131Shadow Falls
If you wanted to protect someone you loved, how far would you go, and what would you be willing to sacrifice? This question is at the core of this emotional rollercoaster of the book, Shadow Falls: the Rise and Fall of Erida VanIsle. This book emerged from four years of collaborative storytelling centering on the main character, Erida VanIsle, written by author Myra VanIsle. In this book, VanIsle goes beyond the events that led to Erida's sacrifice and explores forty-five years of the cost she paid to protect the sister she loved more than life itself. Shadow Falls explores the family tragedy which led to the separation of two sisters on completely different paths polar opposite of each other. While Erida set upon a path of darkness and power, Myra set out to be a beacon of light and hope bringing justice and peace to others. Be warned, the story VanIsle tells is dark and not easy, because you can't have the light without the dark.
