Prologue
A once beautiful village existed in the world. A place where flowers bloomed and people flourished. During the day, everything is calm and peaceful. Once might fell everything became quiet and barren. Everyone treated each other with kindness and respect. When an on looker, or traveler if you may, came through they are greeted with opened arms. This village was indeed small, but the people were content with its size. No one was worried about anything.
In the forest, a little ways away from the village, sat a small cottage where a new child was to be born; one that would change the village forever. It was said such a child would be the bridge, or holder, between peace and war. The parents, in time, will have to get rid of their firstborn and sacrifice him or her to carry this destiny and heavy burden. If he or she was to be saved and not sacrificed, then the parents would have to be killed in place in order to keep peace and balance to the village.
At first the parents had agreed to sacrifice the child and keep the village at peace. As the years came and went, their bond with the young child grew. Soon she was named Saito Anna; Goddess of War and Peace. As the days grew old so did the child- Anna- along with the parents' bond.
Once said day came and it was time for Anna to be 'sacrificed', the parents of said child refused to give their precious child to such a fate and were killed in her place; for this very reason 'Anna of Peace and War' was denounced to 'Anna of Death and Despair' leading the village to kill the poor child. The news quickly spread and reached the ears of Anna herself and she packed what little things she had and fled the village in hopes of finding peace and security. Anna never knew she would be running for her life.
As Anna's escape reached the village, its people became outraged and sent the top shinobi of their village to seek and kill said girl. A few days went and the shinobi came with the news of Anna 'dying' and rushed to the village seeing as how their job was 'done'.
A few months went by and the village soon forgot about Anna, but not a certain individual who vowed to find and kill her. It was this man that would become one of Anna's worst nightmares; a nightmare that will haunt Anna for the rest of her life.
As the years grew old so did Anna. In fact it was her thirteenth birthday meaning it was the 5th Anniversary of her parents' death and the day she fled the village. Despite five, long years, she still didn't have a place to permantly live. The now thirteen-year-old teen began to believe that she'll remain a traveler for the rest of her life. Anna didn't know how wrong she was to believe such a thing.
