I walked throughout the endless aisles of my father's library inside their mansion-sized home. It could be called a castle because it was just as big. We had sections of our home. The servants even had their own wing. I smirked at that because we needed so many people to keep this house immaculately clean. It was much harder than it looked. With my training I had no time for such petty things as household chores. I had much more important things to deal with than cleaning supplies.

My mother Emila, my sister, Lilia, my brother Michael, and my father Landon all went out to dinner without me because me didn't want to go. For some reason, I was compelled to stay home inside my father's library. It was massive, housing information that the general public could not hold a prayer to have in their own small insignificant libraries. heh.

But of course, I didn't say a word of it to her family. They were close knit but tonight, I had this feeling something was going to happen and it set me ablaze with excitement. I was the oldest in my family, and therefore was offered more of my "leash" in a matter of speaking. I'd would be graduating that year, and had already been accepted to North Western in Illinois. I lived no where near it but I'd been wanting to go to college and that was the one I chose. It wasn't like my family didn't have money. I was the only one of his children that My father allowed inside his private study. My family wasn't like other families. We had the power of the gods flowing through their veins. The women had the most spiritual power flowing through them. I was one of the most powerful spiritual maidens that my family had ever seen since our bloodline began. Every prophecy and legacy now rests on my shoulders and I'm only fifteen.

"What do we have here?" I was curious about these scrolls...they actually caught my attention. They looked just like every other scroll my father had locked up here in his study but there was just something about them that pulled me to them.

I sat down quickly and gracefully on the floor next to them, inspecting the scroll down the the stitched fiber of the parchment.

There were three scrolls in all, two a light yellow from age and the other a charcoal black.

I held up the charcoal scroll to the light filtering in from a window behind me.

"I can't read this...damn calligraphy..." I cursed and then sighed in exasperation. I couldn't read a damn thing so the scroll would be of no use to me.

But, the mysterious symbol captured my eyes. I found I couldn't tear them away from the damned scroll.

The symbol sent shivers down my spine and electric current through my body.

Suddenly, a voice whispered in my mind. It was soothing and calm, I found myself slipping into unconsciousness as it lulled these poetic words into my ears,

"Beyond the peaking mountains,

Rushing through streaming rivers,

Blowing among grassy meadows

Lies a Fountain of Immortality.

In a foreign world,

The Inu awaits to be freed of his sleeping imprisonment" It paused..

"Free him, little Shikigami Goddess"

The voice faded as the riddle was left sounding again in her head.

"How!?" I demanded of the voice. Dammit! I would not be played with.

I raked her fingers through my dark espresso hued tresses that stretched down to the small of my back and was tied in a low bow.

I looked back to the scroll, and continued to stare at the symbol before me. Still hypnotized by it's image I could not look away as much as I tried to.

The very same symbol that mesmerized me while persuading me to reach out and grope it's brush marks.

Temptation won this one over- after all what could touch a symbol on a whittle black scroll do?

Quickly, a blue light engulfed me while a pink light swirled in different patterns-almost like the brush strokes of the symbol.

Then both lights flooded my body in light.

"Free him, little Shikigami Goddess."

The voice rung once again as I saw her consciousness slipping away once again from my grasp. I was losing this battle and I never lost...this was bad.

This only background info really and chappie one really gets into her family's secrets...but can she hide them all from the world...or will she suffer the consequences?

R&R I want at least 5 reviews until I upload chappie one!
