Daughter of the Western Lands

Prologue

Late one night, over five-hundred years ago, guards paced alertly around a large castle, protecting it and all of its inhabitants. Inside

this mighty castle slept a young girl no more than three years of age, the daughter of the powerful demon lord Inu-Taisho. She turned over

and mumbled softly in her sleep. From the doorway the silhouette of her father could be seen, smiling softly as he looked at his youngest

child and only daughter. He knew what lay in store for her, how beautiful and magnificent she would become. She would bring peace to

the long and bloody demonic war raging around them. But for now, let her sleep, he thought.

"Good night my little one, good night Setsuko," he whispered as he left the room.
