Chapter 7: Feudal Era

I was engulfed in a blue light.

The creature still clung onto me, like I was it's life force.

Mistress Centipede hissed and called out for the jewel. I noticed her bony limbs rejuvenating. I guess I was her life force.

She licked me, the centipede truly did believe I had this jewel, whatever it was. I cried out as her claws started to sink deeper into my flesh. I forced my away out of my grasp, hands in front, when an even brighter blue light burst from them.

We fell to the bottom of the well.

It actually felt more like floating.

How could we possibly be floating to the bottom of the well though? Landing at the bottom, I searched all around me for the Mistress Centipede, only to find she was gone. It must have been a dream. That's right, I must have been dreaming the entire time. I turned around to come face to face with the severed arm of the centipede. Okay, now I knew I wasn't dreaming.

I lifted my head up, looking to the top of the well. Calling my brothers name, begging for assistance, only to receive no answer. Sota must have been frightened, he was such a baby. He was always running off from anything that might be considered dangerous.

Then, I noticed.

There was no well house.

Instead, there was a clear blue sky above my head. That was odd. Since when had they taken the roof off the shrine, and why?

I climbed out of the well.

I watched in awe as a milky, white butterfly glided past my face. This didn't look anything like my home. Instead of a city, there was forest. The whole earth was covered in a vast forest.

My green skirt blew in the wind.

There was the Goshinboku.

Who wouldn't be able to see it?

After all, it was the tallest, oldest tree I had ever grown to know. I could never forget what it looked like. The Goshinboku would lead me home. It always did help me when I was lost as a child.

I pushed back the bushes that were blocking my path. I had made it to Goshinboku.

I found a boy.

AN: Sorry it took me so long to update. Yeah, I think I'll be wrapping this story up. It's getting pretty bad. Maybe I should just quit while I'm ahead. ^_^'

No, I promise I'll finish up this story, even if it does stink!
