CHAPTER ONE: PROLOGUE

It's so painful...it hurts "...Listen...I beg you..." I can't take more of this...I want to be...set free "In my final hour, I entrust myself to you. You...MUST TAKE MY LIFE. ...If my destiny is...to die of madness like this...I want to be freed...by your hand."

"...Very well. I won't do anything to prolong your suffering...this I swear. ...However that's only if such a time should come. I will protect you. Don't worry. I WILL NOT BETRAY YOU!"

"...wa-! WAIT! LUKA... ! LU- ! " *Gasp*

–a dream, always the same dream. Lately I have been having these strange dreams. Although the moment I wake up, I've gone and forgotten it all... It's been one week since I met them. Takashiro Giou, my brother who has found me after years of searching, whose existence I knew nothing off. Tooko-chan and tsukumo-kun, a sister and brother who are also part of the Giou Clan. And then there is Zess...a mysterious person, whom I would describe as...otherworldly. I really didn't know what to think, when my bro...Takashiro-san asked me to live with him in Tokyo. But the events of the last couple of days, changed my mind. For I've suddenly learned many things that has turned my life up side down. The Giou Clan is a lineage that has special abilities through the generations which they use to fight demons called Duras. And, although the battles can be very scary, I already have a feeling that there's nothing to be afraid off. I'm not alone!

Still, my mind wanders often to the dreams and even if I try not to be worried for not remembering, I can't shake the feeling that it is something that I should not forget...
