Prologue

"Long, long ago, people lived in small tribes and clans, and there was peace between them. But one shaman--in what would become Yerrih someday--sought knowledge in places and ways that were evil. And he grew ambitious. Maybe a demon got into him, I don't know, but Red Deer Bearson wanted to rule over all the land and there was bloodshed where before there had been peace. Then he tried to get by magic what he couldn't get by war. But the working went awry. Wild magic stalked the land and times were evil indeed. Even the truedragons were caught by it. But one good thing came of it all. Somehow the wild magic caused the first Dragonlords, and who do you think the first one is?" The elder woman asked her granddaughter.

"Who?" The little girl asked.

"Red Deer's own son, Fox, who became Fox Morkerren. his father tried to use him, but he rebelled against the endless wars. He and his soultwin Morgan Sanussin stopped Red Deer after a great battle, and then began the long work of rebuilding the peace that had existed before. Fox Morkerren promised that never again would a Dragonlord make war, that they would instead seek to avert it and that in this way the Dragonlords would serve humankind. He and Morgan were so wise and just, that the leaders of the tribes and clans pledged themselves in turn to accept the young Dragonlords' council, and to honor the Dragonlords. So it has been gone to this day, that Dragonlords are called to prevent civil war."

"I like that story. Tell me again what is a soultwin." The girl asked sweetly.

"Very well. Dragonlords are born when a dragon soul bonds with a human one before birth. Then the souls divide, and each Dragonlord has a soultwin, the person with the other halves of the two souls."

The women smiled down at the small girl, who had been trying to sit up in bed for the 10th time that night. She gently pushed the girl down and tried to calm her before she woke the neighbors.

"Oh yah. I like that one too. Every Dragonlords has a soultwin....even Inuyasha" The girl gave a little sob and lowered her head. "..but she died, didn't she?"

"Kagome...you know better than to call him that way. It's Dragonlord Inuyasha Takasuio...and yes she did die. He was never seen again. Legend says that he now walks the earth, trying to find his place in life. Others say that he left his dragon soul behind to be with her, even in death."

No words were exchanged as the girl's grandmother tugged her in and kissed her good night. Throughout the night, the little girl dreamt of a silver haired prince.

Meanwhile, somewhere far east, a lonely figure stood staring at the sun setting. His hand was firmly by his side as the wind blew a lock of his fine silver hair, completely undazed by the change in the weather . If someone were to gaze upon the figure, one would think him to be either brave or a fool to be out in the blizzard, not that he was waiting for someone, someone he lost many centuries ago.
