Visions and answers...Part 1

Mimori dreamed....and what she dreamed frightened and intrigued her....

Running, running to catch up to those sounds of swords clashing and snarls upon one another. She feels so much rage, pain...and sadness.

Finding the source of the battle, she sees nothing but blurry images. Ones that feel so familiar, that it frightens her to no end... Because they rush at one another at speeds that seem to rival that of light..

All around her as the battle continues, she's sees nothing but death. Her heart wrenching at the sight of the lifeless land, and everything around her.

“This can't be real....everything hurts.....its crying...”

::Its the spirit of the land all around you demoness. It's crying out to the gods for help...:: Replies a voice that seems warm and comforting to the young woman who feels so much pain.

“But why? Why does it cry so much?”

::Because of the scars it bears. It needs my brethren to heal it, the scars are appearing now faster then it can heal. So you must find him little bird. Find him and help him heal his soul. So he can do what the other could not.::

“Do what...what must he do. What must I help him achieve?”

::Heaven's Light:: It stated with a purpose.::It is the only thing that can wake them up. Make them act, upon the cries for help.::

“Heaven's Light?” Mimori whispered to the being beside her. “What is this Light?”

::Seek out the one known as Aketsu, little bird. He has the answers you seek.::

“Who is he? How do I find him? Is he the one to the South?”

::The Wolf Prince will be your guide Seer. You will need him to bring Aketsu out. You must hurry though. Others seek him as well, and not all will like the answers that he has.::

With that said, Mimori woke up. Her eyes opened wide in reflexive instinct, she can sense the direction that indicated where the Wolf was positioned in their small camp. She feels, his curiosity his perplexed confusion.....

“Everything all right, Seer?”

“Yes...and its Mimori.” She quietly stated. “If we are to accompany one another, we should at least use our names...”

The wolf nods his head in agreement. His instincts still hackled by the events surrounding their meeting somewhat, he knows that deep down he can trust the Eagle demoness.

“Name's Kouga.”

“Kouga....do you know of someone named Aketsu?”

Looking perplexed for a moment at the question, the Wolf Prince nods his head. “I do somewhat...I should say I know of an Aketsu. It's something all wolf demons know...”

“Can you tell me?”

“Why?”

“It's...I can't quite explain it...” Mimori said quietly. “For the questions I have, he has the answers.”

Nodding his head in understanding, Kouga takes on a thoughtful expression, before he begins to speak. “I had heard this from my father, who had heard this from others among the Wolf demon tribes. Supposedly, about a 1000 years ago, he had made friends with a priestess. An extremely powerful one, one that was said to have been chosen by the gods.”

“What happened?”

“She died in battle from what I understand, a battle he did not participate in. And as a result we banished him from our lands....” Kouga replied.

“What? How come?”

“You know of the bonds that we forge, right? The ones that lead us to those we care about as well as others of our kind?”

“Yes” The Eagle seer answers. “All demons can do it...”

“It is said, that he formed such a bond with her and one other. But then at the time when they needed him most, he did not come. That is an affront to us... Despite the priestess being what she was and human, we prize loyalty to those we care for. Once we give our friendship, nothing can keep us from aiding them, save death.”

Nodding her head in agreement to his words, the Wolf prince smiles.

“Do you by any chance know the name of the Priestess, Kouga?”

“Yes. It is one you know as well Eagle, her name was Midoriko.”

Short yes...on purpose? Not really...more like this is a multi-parter like others before...and this chapter would not make any sense if I kept going further.
