by Leila411

She is not of our world, nor is she of the otherworld. She is trapped in a realm of shadows...and the only way out, is the path set before her in iron. This tale, is of she who has fallen from grace, and who gave everything to save what was at the bottom.

1. Prologue: Storms

Chapter One:

The sky outside Konoha ninja academy was dark and cloudy. Rolling sheets of thunder crashed and merged into a terrible storm. Inside the building, lights were flickering on and off, and the walls vibrated with every boom of thunder.

"Leave us alone freak!" Two girls were standing beside one another and staring angrily at the shadowed person in front of them.

It was a slim person covered entirely with a black cloak that covered their entire face in a hood. In fact, the only thing to be seen except the blackness, was a pure white chain. Strung on the fine metal, was a pendant.

It was a strangely carved bird made out of clay with an inscription that inspired terror carved into it's chest.

"As if a god who subjugates even the deities of hell, I will gather to the red dawn."

The birds wings were outstretched and its eyes were the very picture of the words inscribed on it.

"Go away!" The same girl screamed again. "Leave us alone!"

For a few tense seconds, the hooded figure watched them silently, then turned and walked down the hallway. At the end of the hall, there was a dead end...and they stopped.

With a sound like wind whispering over fallen leaves, they melted into the wall and disappeared from sight.

Outside the windows, the lightning started to crash down, and the storm picked up speed.

Survival is essential for living,

but only the savage will survive...
