Author's note 1: Hi everybody this is my first fanfic so, be easy on me. This story takes place after the anime ending. Also this was based on the English dubbed anime, so I will put the Japanese names in the first chapter and on first introductions of characters, but after that I will be using just their English names.

Author's note 2: This story was thought up about 7 years ago, and I'm just rewriting it now to correct some seriously bad grammar.

(OMG, I was seriously bad at English during high school, not that it is perfect now)

And, to maybe finish the story, if I do not finish the story before the end of 2018 I might consider putting this story up for adoption. If you are interested in taking it up, let me know in the review box.

Disclaimer: this story is fan-made so, I don't own the authors' rights, except my own character's and my part of the plot, this is a non-profit story.

(A New Beginning)

A lone girl with long gold-blond hair was sitting on a cliff next a waterfall, she was preparing for a battle and thought:

'I am made to serve the word, the mother made me for this task. And now the time has come to prove that I am truly loyal to her. I will pass this test, like I passed all the others. But first I'll have to visit Jeanne, she'll have apologize to our mother, or she will lose her power'.

When she finished preparing her bow and arrows, she jumped of the cliff and spread out her angel-like wings, and flew in the direction of the plane of the X-law. When she was almost there she landed, and walked the last bit. When she came close she could see the iron coffin (Iron Maiden) that was standing next to the plane. Marco, looking very grim stood beside it. When the girl came near, the coffin opened and showed the Iron Maiden Jeanne. Jeanne nodded and the vines moved to let her step out of the coffin, she was wearing what looked like pink satin pajama's, but she put in some effort and a few seconds later she was wearing her battle outfit, even though she could not fight with (Sha-)Mash anymore (since he was eaten by the spirit of fire), his powers had left some lingering effects. So, she was not completely defenseless and normally, she would have Marco with her. But, this time he couldn't come with them. They were going somewhere only those in service of the Mother could go. To do something, only they would be allowed to do, correct an imbalance of the universe. When the Iron Maiden was finished preparing, she gave a small nod to the other girl, to let her know that she was ready. The blond girl was the same length as the Iron Maiden and looked around the same age, but Obviously commanded the utmost respect from the Iron Maiden. As, both the Iron Maiden and the girl with the gold hair clasped hands and disappeared together with the use of their Furyoku.

At the Palace of Stars (inner sanctum to the King of Spirits, found in Doby/Patch village) in the middle of the circle of totem's, a boy with waist long black hair was nailed to a huge blue fire-like burning thing called; ''the King of Spirits''. He was pinned by his hands, hanging to its wall. He was bleeding because he had a huge cut on his chest and a small one on his forehead, as if someone had tried to cut him in two. But even thought that he was so injured, that a normal human wouldn't survive. He was still breathing like it was nothing. He was just asleep, gathering his senses and enough energy to break free.

Zeke's POV

Suddenly, he felt something that hadn't been there before. Something that he had, felt before. It, was a person. He could sense it, and he knew who it was. It was that meddling Iron Maiden Jeanne. He didn't open his eyes, but prepared for an attack, and when it happened to counter-attack. Even though he was injured, he had still much Furyoku left. He knew, she didn't have a guardian spirit/ghost, nor did he sense one. So, he wasn't too worried. He did wonder however, how she got here. Because, you could not teleport within the inner sanctum. How had she managed to get this close, without him noticing earlier. Dismissing it as him being lenient, and not properly keeping track of his surroundings on his part. He pushed it off his mind.

She didn't have a spirit, so he was strong enough to beat her without spilling much energy. But, just before he was about to open his eyes and attack, he heard the soft sound of footsteps. So, quietly that you couldn't hear them, unless you had exceptional hearing, or knew what to listen for.

He didn't open his eyes, still feigning sleep, but followed their movements in detail. He heard a soft thud from Jeanne's direction, a light sound like something had fallen on the floor. He thought, that her figure looked different now. She wasn't as tall anymore. He suspected that she had fallen on her knees. And with his strong senses he confirmed that she had done, just that. He suspected that she was doing a prayer of some kind. Something, she was known to have done before. But what concerned him was this other person. Who, had stopped walking when they had arrived at the black altar. He could sense that he or she was exceptionally strong. He wondered why this person seemed to mask their Furyoku level. It was as if they were pretending they were weaker than they actually were. He still doubted however that this person could seriously hurt him, though. But, their Furyoku felt strange, as if it was not a natural power It felt as if it had much more magical properties in it.

Suddenly he felt an immense pain that came from his right shoulder, something sharp had embedded itself in his joint. If, it had been unbelievably painful to move his arm before, due to being nailed to the King of Spirits, it certainly was now. An arrow was sticking out of his shoulder now. It seemed he had been sorely mistaken; this person was more than capable to kill him.

He was about to open his eyes when he felt another jolt of pain, as another arrow pierced through his body. But all he did was, take a deep breath. His facial expression did not change, even though the pain was unbelievable. He felt three more arrows. Another one in the other shoulder joint and one in each knee. He almost couldn't handle it anymore but, then arrows stopped shooting at him. He started to gather his power again. He felt the strange presence of the unknown shooter, moving towards him. He felt that the person was just before him. He never felt fear and he certainly still didn't feel that now either. But, he hated the fact that he had to die, again. So, his anger grew and so did his Furyoku. He felt a soft hand on his cheek, the heat of his un-natural hot skin was burning the stranger's hand, he could feel that. It looked however, like that person didn't care about it, or simply didn't feel it. He heard a soft and sweet voice of a girl that whispered to him softly: ''why can't I kill you''. He noticed that her voice had a hint of sadness in it, he could not imagine why, though. She lifted her hand off his cheek and tried to open the strap of his glove. He had been somewhat distracted, because of her voice. But, now he noticed what she was trying to do. And without conscious thought, he broke his right-side free and caught her by her wrist. He opened his eyes. He saw a girl about his age (not real age, I mean that she is around 14). She was beautiful he had to admit that. She was quite shocked, because she had thought; he was unconscious.

But he was almost as shocked as she was, that he had broken free of the wall. That he threw the girl away in a reflex. But, because he just moved without thinking, he didn't know how much strength he had used. However, despite having so much Furyoku, she didn't do anything to stop her fall. Unlike he had expected. Instead, she landed a few meters away unconscious on the ground. He was a bit shocked, that someone with such strength like her, was so easily defeated. Breaking his other side free of the wall as well, despite the pain. He turned and saw that stupid Iron Maiden staring at him, with a mad and shocked face. But instead of attacking him like he thought she would do, she ran to the girl who he had just thrown away. He saw that Jeanne was looking at him with a mad and warning face. As if it would really harm him, if he did anything to harm the girl she was taking care off now. When he saw, Jeanne looking back at the girl, in her arms, he also saw that the expression on her face turned from anger into fear. Even now he had been able to get a better look, He didn't recognize the girl, and even for a 1000-year-old shaman his memory remained exceptional. The only thing he knew about her was that she had quite strong Furyoku. He wanted to find out who this weird shaman was. And, how she had been able to get into the Star sanctuary.

But every second he felt his energy lowering. He couldn't waste his Furyoku anymore. He had to leave before, he would fully run out of it. Using some of his last strength, he summoned the Spirit of Fire. It was still as large as it had been, before he had tried taking The King of Spirits (Great Spirit) by force. He settled himself on it's head and ordered the spirit; to take the two girls. The Spirit of Fire did as he was told and grabbed the girls, one in each hand. And took off heading in the direction of the last known camp he and his followers had, had before, his attempt to gain the King of Spirits by force.

I hope you guys liked it, please review even flamers are allowed, but remember that the plot and OC were thought of, when I was 14/15 years old. But, I still want to become a better writer, so say it when you see errors or things that could've been done better. Also, yeah, I think my OC is Mary-sue to. But, I don't give a fuck.
