Prologue:
A quiet hush fell over the town as the air was filled with the strong sounds of the castle's drums. Murmurs and whispers quickly spread amongst the towns people. It was finally time.
The people were dreading this day. For it was this day that their Lady, their queen, would be offered to the blood thirsty demons.
Their innocent queen would pay for their mistakes of the human race.
. . . . .
Inside the castle, a woman ran at full speed down the hall, no one stopping her. She got to the end of the hall and threw open the doors, the only sound besides her feet in the silent castle.
"My lady, please, reconsider this. You do not have to go." the woman pleaded, voice soft and out of breath.
The small figure sitting in front of the shrine did not stir.
"I must. To save my people, my lands, I will give myself willingly. I have made my peace. I am ready. You must not worry for me. I will be with my people always, watching over them from the heavens." her voice came quiet, but sure, her head still held down in prayer.
Slowly she rose, and walked towards the other woman.
"Deliver me to Demon Lords, Megumi. I must face my fate."

This is my first fanfic, so any help will be appreciated, I'm not sure whether or not to make this a short fic, or a long one. I have drafts written for both, in case I decide to keep it short or long.
please review.
