Hello, my dear readers! After the very positive response of "The Guardian of My heart" I decided that if you were so kind to inform me of your opinions then I should probably return the favor. So now around Christmas holiday I thought that why not give my readers a gift from me as well? Since I am nothing near wealthy I could not possibly afford to buy every single one of you a present. Instead I'm now posting my prologue to my next story which was planned to be posted next year but since you all seem to, in some weird way, enjoy my writing I decided to post it earlier. This is an AU which means that I get to decide a lot of these fantasy creatures and people along with many other things. Basically it's a total new world where I set up the rules

So please do try to enjoy!

In ancient time where mythical creatures and mysterious magic existed creating legends of

many adventurous journeys. Where everything was possible and anything could happen, contributed to

many glorious tales. Some may be true and some may not be but still the exciting feelings as a

listener were always present. I have particularly chosen a legend to tell. It is a unique one and

does contain the usual exhilaration but it also surround around a heartbreaking love story. To

further be able to explain the reason behind it let me first clarify a couple of details. First of

all I realize that if I now say that it includes a curse then you may feel as if it includes a

typical cursed one and this individual's voyage through many hardships to break free from this

curse. Now what if I then tell you that this woman I speak of instead willingly sought to be cursed?

Will you say it makes a difference? Let us then proceed further. The explanation behind the cause of

action is that she lost someone precious to her. They had a forbidden love, a pure love between two

human beings only being considerate filthy in the eyes of the others. This forced them to flee. To a

place where nobody knew of them, for a new start. With high hopes they set out but halfway they meet

yomas, creatures who feed upon the living for their own survival. In a desperate attempt her lover

sacrificed herself as bait to lure them away, to save her. After being knocked out cold and hidden

she remembered nothing more. When she later on woke up she found her lover with nothing but a pile of

bones left. They had cleared every part and if they had not then maybe the crows had, a painful

thought. Filled with rage of hatred she vowed to never rest until the day she had executed every

single one responsible. The next problem she was facing was that she would need more time than a

lifetime of a human could offer. She needed time to track down and obliterate the targets furthermore

she wanted a chance to see her dead lover again, for a chance to apologize or show her gratitude. The

bottom line being that she wanted to be reunited once more, take up for lost time. Now there were

stories telling that after 950 years a descended soul would once more walk on the face of earth. Why

such a long time? The reason may be that after about nine generations of living nobody would really

recognize a girl who once lived and now many hundreds of years would grow up to look the same. If she

would have chosen death instead it did not have to mean that she after being reborn would meet up

with her, again. So the first thing she did was seek out the Shielians. The rumored although secluded

group who never had any form of contact with the outer world which would make it all the more

difficult to locate their exact position. Likewise the external citizens did not know much about them

either except for the fact that they were more familiar with magic than any others. She found them

and it took her a very long time to persuade them into agreeing. Never had they experienced somebody

who pleads to be cursed, by the most painful one nonetheless. She was pleading them to let her stay

in this world for a 1 000 years as a cursed one. You see there were certain points of the curse she

never bothered asking about. The Shelians asked several times if she required to spare some minutes

to listen about the price to pay for such a curse. But she had no time to spare and insisted in

performing the spell immediately. Now the only ones who knew about the consequences were the

Shielians and luckily for you, I happen to also know. The penalty was that she would never be able to

express love or perform any act based upon the emotion love. A pity she could not save some of the

time to hear it since she has set out to be reunited with her long, lost and soon-to-be reborn love.

Not knowing what lies ahead in her journey or what this side-effect might cause.

So now I ask you, dear reader, do you have some time to spare for this old tale?

Well? Does the plot suck? Was something inconsistent in the story? Please don't hesitate to let me know but please be nice, I really did try really hard.

Some things to clear up:

Yoma- Borrowed from Claymore (if you have yet to see this beautifully made anime then please do) not exactly like the originals I had to change a few things to fit into my story.

Shelians- I was out of ideas of what to call them if it wasn't that they needed some kind of name then this would be posted earlier so if you have a better suggestion please do tell me since I'm practically banging my head against the wall out of frustration.

I am posting this up in order to see if there you are interested in reading this concept that I have created. Please do drop a comment or two in order for me to decide if i should keep on writing more.

Merry Christmas my dear readers!
