Disclaimers: 1. Sadly, I do not own Buffy or any of her friends. The great Whedon god owns all. 2. If this is illegal where you live, ask your sister/wife to pray with you to make the bad words on the screen go away. 3. If you are under 18, study for your SAT's so you too can graduate from college and write fanfiction.

Prologue: The Origin of the Species
Ancient Sumeria
First, there was the Earth. Then, there came the Demons. After Demons, there came Men. The Men found a Girl. The Men took the Girl to fight all Demons. They chained her to the Earth. And changed the fate of Man forever:
The three priests, known to their tribe as the Shadow Men, circled the young girl chained to a rock. They rocked back and forth, chanting as the girl cried for someone to save her. Pounding their staffs into the ground rhythmically, they continued chanting as one stepped forward opening a small wooden box.
The Shadow Men stepped away from the box, and stood as guards, making sure the girl could not escape. With a final thump of their staffs, they chanted in unison, "Herein lies the Strength. The energy of the Demon. Its spirit. Its heart."
Slowly, a mist began to rise from the open box heading for the chained girl. As the mist covered her, she began to scream, taking the essence of the demon into her soul.
Thus, the first Slayer was created.
