Sun and moon mikos are the most powerful mikos in history. Sun mikos exist 1 in 100, but moon mikos only come around in 100 years.
In Japan an old man cast rose petals into a stone basin at the top of a temple. A quick shadowy figure dashed towards him before stopping when the old man stood up and cast the petals again, then came closer until he was right behind him.
"How do the petals fall?" a deep rumbling voice asked the old man who sighed and stood up.
"They tell of a new moon miko, one will surpass all others and turn this place into that of old."
"What does that mean?"
"It means, Myoga, that we will have a miko who can turn this place right again. But we have to get to her first, it also says that her guide will be 'one who is not'." The old man said before turning to face the shadowy figure. His long dark brown hair looked like smooth mud in the dark moonlight, but it did not draw attention to his bright almond eyes.
"Master Naru, what can that possibly mean? 'One who is not'? Does her Starguide exist or not?" Myoga asked with a swish of his wolf like tail, tension visible in every part of his 9 foot slim muscular build.
"He must exist, but I do not understand the petals, maybe they will become clearer with time." The old man sighed.
14 years later
"Come on Kagome!" A young woman, Kikyo, called to her 14 year old cousin. They looked like twins except for the sun on the elders forehead that marked her a sun miko. Both have dark black hair with brown almond shaped eyes and pink full lips. Pale skin complemented by the suns early morning rays were flushed as the two ran.
"Wait for a second, then let me pass you!" Kagome said as she sped up and by her older cousin with a smile.
"Hey! Don't you want me to tell you about Midori?" Kikyo said with a pout as they slowed down in a beautiful meadow.
"Yes! Of course I do!" Kagome said with her usual excitement.
"Midori was a great Moon Priestess from very long ago." Kikyo started as they sat down. "When she was a child darkness and a strange evil man ruled. When she turned 16 a moon appeared on her neck instead of a sun. Everyone was astonished. They banished her because they had forgotten the moon's mark. She ran until she could run no more. Then she collapsed. A strange man found her. His hair was a strange silver of an old man, yet he looked to be only 18, his eyes were chocolate brown and he towered above her a 9 feet tall. But the strangest thing was that his ear were that of a dogs or wolves and a wolf tail reached to his calves, also sliver. Fangs and claws made him seem fearsome, but the look in his eyes gentled the fear that she felt when she awoke. Midori stayed with him and learned. Some say that he carried her mark and served her as if he was a slave, but we may never know. The secrets of the Sun and Moon mikos are guarded well and kept as if they could destroy those who would find out if they are not any kind of miko." Kikyo finished.
"Do you have to leave?" Kagome asked Kikyo as she picked a flower.
"Yes, you might to when you turn 16 and have a Sun mark."
"What if I have a moon mark?"
"Then your power will be sought out and others will try to use it for their own gain."
