SEKIREI ONE

Introduction: After many years of teases and start and stops. My first true Sekirei story, apropriately titled Sekirei One had arrived. It took time, but it is here. Enjoy the ride.


PROLOGUE

Long before the people of earth began to look towards the stars - there was an advanced race known only as Sekirei.

They lived peacefully while prospering and expanding across the galaxy to many different worlds. Being guided by love, hope, compassion and courage that would make themselves and their Ashikabi stronger. These Ashikabi could enhance the powers of the Sekirei and create an unbreakable bond.

However, as time progress the Sekirei race fell into a darkness that they never returned from; it wasn't just the lust for power that ruined the Sekirei, but anger, hate, and fear that guided our downfall.

Many ships were launched from our planet scattering to different worlds in hopes of escaping and rebuilding. Each of these ships was fitted with over one hundred Sekirei, but one massive ship was sent to earth – it contained more than a thousand Sekirei newborns and embryos – but it also held several prized and powerful weapons and valuable artifacts known as Jinki's that meant so much to our people. These eight crystals held the ability to help view our history and even give tremendous power to whoever could wield them.

Upon arrival, the ship's systems failed and it plummeted through the earth's atmosphere with chunk's scattering across the planet onto several continents. During this separation one valuable piece was lost - the Codex. A tablet that would hold the location of the Jinki's if lost, but also contained our entire history.

Sadly, many of the Jinki's went missing or were stolen and no one knows where the Codex is.

To this day, many of the Sekirei live without any hope of gaining freedom from the ones who want to take advantage of us. However, there are those who choose to protect, love and care for us and allow the freedoms that humans have.

Yet, there are those who choose to seek nothing but power and the desire to do nothing but harm…
