author's note: okay, this is my first fanfiction attempt, a Fushigi Yuugi fanfic of course! I belonged to an rpg at one point and made a storyline for it. This follows the same kind of storyline but all the characters are of my creation. Oh and I have like 11 stories on fictionpress (so don't think this is my first story! hee hee!) This is kind of alternate universe in that none of the original characters are dead. Please review! I'd REALLY appreciate it! (I'll try to review some of your work too!)

Prologue

The figure sat alone in the dark room, face turned upwards. Her long white hair glowed silver as power began to fill her. She breathed in, slowly, deeply and prayed to the gods, or specifically, to one god.

A deep voice sounded in the room. A voice unlike any other heard on this Earth. A voice that had the power to change everything forever.

"It is almost time. Soon the Priestess will descend upon us. Soon the warriors will be gathered. And soon. . ."

The woman's voice finished the sentence. "You will be free once more."

The deep unearthly voice continued. "The creator's work will be undone. And death shall prevail. Soon, all will be ours."

The voice faded as did the glow surrounding the woman. Slowly she rose to her feet, obtaining her full height. "All will be ours," she echoed. A laugh erupted from her in the darkness, a sinister laugh, one that knew what was to come. . . and welcomed it. "All we require is the Priestess."

Long strides brought her to the door, brought her to opening it. And she stepped out into the welcoming night. "The great Shinigami will return to power once more."
