Prologue

A young priestess charges at the demon. Her sword slashes back and forth at the monster, yet never lands a hit. She is tired; worn from fighting this beast for many days. She began to think she would lose this battle. No. She could not give up. So many lives depended on her victory. Determined, she clutched her sword tightly, and summoning all her strength, she swung her blade at the large dragon. The blade sliced through the demons stomach, and she began her ritual. She would not die in this cave. She would seal this demons soul, and she would win this battle.

Life is never that easy. The demon managed to grab the priestess in its powerful claws. The force from the demons hand broke her concentration, and she felt her strength begin to leave her body. She was going to lose. The demon laughed at her; amused by her failure. She narrowed her eyes and summoned all the power she had left. With a painful cry, she sealed away the demons soul… as well as her own. The bodies of the demon and the priestess froze and began to turn to stone. Suddenly, something flew out of the priestess's chest, leaving a large hole behind. It was a pink jewel; a simple treasure to be found inside the cave. However, a battle continued to rage on inside the jewel; a battle of souls.
