Author's Notes: Well, this is the first fic I'll be posting. It's already typed on my computer, so I'm just posting, though if it's hated, which I hope it won't, I'll put it on hold until I can think of something I can do.
Well, enough of me talking. Here's my fic!
Valkyrie Among Mortals
A young woman in shrine maiden attire swept the leaves from the stone steps leading to the shrine, which she lived at. Her fair skin, moon blue eyes and long, blonde hair that looked like it was washed with moonlight tied in a ponytail with a red ribbon, pointed that she wasn't a native.
"It looks like you're working hard."
The priestess looked up, then bowed. "High Priest! I'm sorry, I'll finish this right away."
She started to sweep with more vigor, when her broom was stopped.
"Your work here is done. You've been assigned to another place."
Fearing the worst, she fell to her knees. "High Priest, please don't tell me that I'm to leave here forever. You found me when I was lost, took me in, cared for me, treated me like I was your daughter."
"Young one, your time here is finished, you can no longer strengthen your powers within these walls. Now come with me."
She got up and followed her elder, head bowed as she put away her broom and was brought into the shrine. "I want you to have this."
Her eyes widened, as she was handed a katana from which hung feathers and white ribbons. "The holy sword of Yue! Its powers are legendary, drawn from the moon! Why give it to me, High Priest?"
"It will be your weapon, meant to slaughter ten thousand youkai with each pass."
"But in this era, the Meiji Era, swords are illegal. And where would I find even one youkai, let alone ten thousand?"
"In the past, in the time of the Sengoku Jidai, before the revolution."
"There are youkai then?"
"Yes. Your powers may be more powerful than any priestess in Japan, but you need to unlock the potential within you and become more powerful than all. Will you do that for this old man?"
She nodded, then hugged him. "Yes, Otou-sama, I will."
A portal of light appeared between them, and she looked up to see something on the other side. "Feudal Japan…I'll come back more than I was, so here I go!"
She stepped into the portal, and it closed behind her. The priest nodded. "May Kami-sama protect her."
The portal appeared in the same place in the past, and the priestess looked around. It was infested with youkai, some of which were powerful. She could see something pink shining in some of them, but she didn't have time to wonder what they were. She used blasts of her own magic and drew her sword, slashing the youkai that attacked her to ribbons.
Her eyes were narrowed in mercilessness, since she knew that these youkai had to be cleansed, and the only way they could, was to kill them. She picked up the lights and found that they were pieces of something glass, maybe a gem of some sort. She put them within the folds of her kimono, then traveled on, noticing that youkai seemed to come at her because she was holding these shards.
She destroyed more and more, and her powers grew. Otou-sama, I'll come back when I find my true potential.
