Chapter 1

Kashigi is walking through the forest when a demon appears before her. "You would be the perfect host for my new body!" The demon said as he ran towards her. "My body is not yours for the taking unfortunately." Kashigi said as she unsheathed her sword. "What are you going to do with useless sword you worthless human!" The demon said menacingly. "You will soon witness my formidable power Heaven Seal!" A yellow seal surrounded the demon and prevented him from moving. "Is that all you got?" The demon snickered. Kashigi then turned and walked away. The demon was bewildered as a star appeared above him and disintegrated him. "I must return to Lakosho" Kashigi said to herself.

A while later Kashigi returned to Lakosho where the five tribes lived amongst each other after forty years of unsuccessfully retrieving the black ruby and living in their own territories. They bowed as she entered the village. "Goddess Kashigi we are forever in debted to you for making us see in the error of our ways and coming together as one people." The Yaisho chief said rising to his feet. "Please Noko I wish for you and the rest of the tribes to refer to me as Kashigi, I am not a goddess I am merely a guardian who was born to protect this world from evil doers." Kashigi politely brushing off the branded title.

"I feel that you were a gift from the spirits to protect us from the outside world." A Serene Falls woman said to Kashigi. The wind started to blow. "I'm glad that I'm here to protect innocent people from the outside world." Kashigi said to the woman as her hair flew in harmony with the passing wind. "Lady Kashigi we need medicinal herbs from the Voereshi Mountain the chief of the Yaisho tribe is ill." A tribesman said approaching her. "Then I will go and retrieve it since I know my way around the mountain I shall return at sunset, wait for me in the temple with Chief Kunasagi of the Reonaka tribe." Kashigi said as she left the village. "Come back to us soon my goddess I feel there is an ominous threat approaching." The woman said looking the northern sea.

"Born to protect the lives of others, my mother was a peacemaker and she passed on to the spirit world when I was real young and father died soon thereafter as if he were trying to follow her in death." Kashigi said as she held her hand over her heart remembering her beloved parents. Suddenly a white electric baal of light flew at lightning speed through the serene forest toward Kashigi and she erected a viloet clear barrier to shield herself.

"We meet again after all these years Kashigi you killed my people and I'm the last surviving member of my clan." The woman said as Kashigi's barrier disappeared. "I didn't kill your people they were killing each other, all I tried to do was quale the fighting." Kashigi defended herrself. "Hmph I find it hard to believe that you were trying to stop it because my parents nor clan is here today!" The girl rose her sword to Kashigi and Kashigi blocked it with her own.

"So your sword protected you that was sheer luck!" The girl said as she overwhelmed Kashigi and pushed her back into a tree. "Mori I guarantee you i can fight without my sword so I will not give you the satisfaction that you will kill me." Kashigi said as she sent over powered Mori and sent her flying into the lake. "This is really starting to become tedious I have a tribe chief to save." Kashigi said walking towards the lake. "You shall die here and now!" Mori said as she burst out of the lake. "Angel Strike!" Kashigi said and a purple light entered Mori's body and destroyed her from the inside out. "How could this be?" Mori said as she disappeared. "I must hurry to the sacred mountain and retrieve the herbs." Kashigi turning and leaving the lake.

Kashigi put her sword away and walked up the mountain and came to sacred cave. "Here are the medicinal herbs ." Kashigi said happy and relieved. "This is mountain is sacred leave at once!" A monk said as he entered the cave. "I'm afraid that can't be arranged I have a person I must save." Kashigi said explaining her reason for being on the mountain. "I could care less what reason you have for being here and more importantly what happened to the barrier that surrounded this place.

"I am a guardian so I can pass through the barrier with ease and to be honest I hate arrogant people like you who think just because you have spiritual powers your better than others." Kashigi said with disgust. "You don't know anything about me." The priest said angrily. "No I don't know anything about you but you sound too confident in your ability that you can defeat me." Kashigi said with a smile. "This shouldn't take too long." The priest said throwing out a scroll. Kashigi unsheathed her sword and sliced the priest in half. "I must return to the village immediately." Kashigi said as she left the cave.
