The moonlight shone brightly on my village as I walked up to a little hut where me and my grandmother lived. Today was just as any other day where I would slay the vicious demons who came across the village and protect the people. I walked into my home to see my grandmother sitting in her light pink kimono with a pot of soup under a hot fire. "Hey grandma" I said as I sat down next to her. She looked up at me with weary eyes and a smile on her face. She would always say shes fine whenever someone asked her but I knew she wasn't, I mean it was obvious. The weariness in her eyes the way she carried herself even the spell she put on the village was breaking due to how weak she was becoming. I knew she was on her way to her death bed but I didn't want her to know I knew so I kept it to my self.
"Hello sweetie" she said getting up to check on the soup.
I walked over to a small closet to settle my rodoki (Her sword) before walking up next to my grandma to take a whiff of the delicious smell. "Smells great grandma" I said to her as she took a bowl and poured enough for me to last the night. "Thank you" I said before going over to the table.
"You're welcome dear". She poured herself some soup before joining me. "You know, i'm really gonna miss you" her voice cracking as if she gonna cry. She looked up at me with sincere and sadness. I felt as if I was gonna cry due to the look in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" I asked her as I took her hand in mine.
"I don't have much long dear" tears falling freely down her face. The sight made me break down too, I knew this day would come sooner or later. I reached out to hug her as she did too, both of us colliding into each other. I never wanted to let go. "Don't cry sweetie, warriors don't cry" she said as she stroked my hair. "I love you Amelia, with all my heart".
"I loved you too grandma, please don't leave me" I said looking up at her face that was wet from tears. She gave me a small smile before bringing her hand to my cheek, caressing it softly.
"I want you to promise me something" I nodded ready to do anything she was about to tell me. "I want you to do your best to protect this village and find your mother and sister, I believe as much as you do that they're still out there. She kissed my forehead, wiped away my tears, and told me to finish up my soup. But I lost my appetite, so I forced it down my throat so she wouldn't have to worry about me not eating supper that night. After that we settled in our beds. No matter how many times I tried I just couldn't shut my eyes. I kept thinking about my mother and Kora not only that but grandma too. What would the village do without her, since my mother was out sight there would be no other priestess. Suddenly I felt sleepy and soon closed my eyes.

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking loudly at the door. I through the covers off of me and groggily walked over to the door. "What" I said as soon as I flung the door open. I immediately saw my best friend Cody and his father dressed in their warrior outfits. "What's going on?" I asked with a confused look on my face.
"We need you" Cody said sounding stern and serious. With that I ran to the closet taking out my rodoki. Suddenly my dog-like ears perked up to the sound of people begging for someone to help them. After that I ran outside not caring if I was still in my nightgown.
"It's Amelia, she'll save us" said a woman trying to protect her children. I looked around to see demons swarming the village and people running in fear. I slept through this? I pulled my rodoki from its scabbard and lashed out on a couple of demons who came lunging at me. I spotted Cody lashing out on couple of other demons. I sped over to him putting my back to his.
"They must be really desperate for that jewel, huh"
"No kidding, Amelia watch out". I looked up to see a spider-like demon crawling towards me. I swung my sword cutting it's head off before it lunged at me. "Alright I'll take care of everything over here, you go and protect those children". I nodded before running off to the left side of the village. Once I got there I saw the children huddled up together looks of fear on all their faces. I immediately felt heartbroken. I kneld down next to them and wiped away a couple of their tears.
"Hey don't cry" I said softly "Warriors don't cry" raising up my voice a bit. They all smiled a bit, their looks of fear turned into looks of relief and confident. "Alright I want all of you to stand up and pick up a fuller and take care of all the bee demons". Bee demons aren't that big and don't put up much of a fight so i'm pretty sure they can handle it. With that I left to fight off the rest of the greedy demons. They all wanted the sacred jewel for pure evil. After about a while we had slayed all the demons and helped everyone who were injured. Thank god no one died. I was on my way to my hut when I heard a village men yelling something I couldn't quite make out until I got closer.
"The priestess has been assassinated!". Grandma! I ran as fast as I could. When I got there I saw my grandmother laying on the floor with a dagger through her chest. I immediately ran by her side.
"Grandma, no" a tear ran down my face as I stroked her cheek.
"Ames, i'm so sorry". I looked up to see Cody looking up at me with those dark brown eyes of his. I reached out to hug him as he did. I sobbed quietly into his arms as he stroked my hair. After a while I pulled away and stared into his eyes, suddenly an urge to kiss him came over me. Me and Cody have been best friends since we were five why would a sudden urge like that come over me. I shook it off and ask him if he would help me bury her. "Sure".
By cherry blossom tree was where my grandma would teach some of her spells and tell me stories of when she was younger, also where she would be buried. After Cody and I dug the hole we lifted her casket and dropped it into the dark hole where her body would lay peacefully.
