Songs are in bold
Every chapter will have a theme song which, if possible, will be playing somewhere on my blog. The theme song helps me and the readers determine the mood of what is going on. And I don't just choose any song. I choose songs that I would use if I were making a music video out of the chapter.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please feel free to tell me. It could really help. And no lies! If you don't like something, tell me. Maybe I can fix it. But if you post hate messages then I might delete them so :P

Prologue
Theme Song: Nickelback – Savin' Me
Crunch, crunch. The little girl shuffled through the debris and rubble of her now destroyed village on her bare feet, looking for any sign of life, anything moving at all. The sky was a deep red from the blazing fires, which continuously sent black clouds hurling into the sky. The girl's eyes burned from the dust flying through the air. Her tiny feet burned and her face was covered in filth. She searched the area, hoping, praying that she would find someone-anyone- to help her. She was so small and helpless and she was alone with no one to guide her or to whisper that everything would be all right. And soon she collapsed to the floor and burst in tears.
What had happened to her home? It was fine before. Everyone was happy and bustling around busily doing normal things here and there. Children were running around playing games and having a good time. The girl had run off into the thick woods to explore and get away from all the adults that were constantly yelling at her. She left her young brother, who was only a year older than her, behind, thinking that she could take care of herself. When she had returned in less than an hour she saw something that would forever burn her mind.
Men. Thousands of men running through the village with knives and daggers were stabbing and killing everyone. Her brother was nowhere to be seen. The girl had ducked behind a boulder large enough to hide her small figure and watched silently. There was so much killing, so much blood. And when it was over she could do nothing…
The little girl continued to cry and scream in anger and confusion. She began to beat the ground furiously until her little fists were bloody and bruised. She breathed heavily and sobered when she saw the blood painting her skirt and covering her legs. Closing her eyes, she breathed in slowly until she saw a tall shadow creep over her shoulders. Jumping slightly, she whirled around gasping when she saw the man before her. His skin was a pale white and his eyes were an essence of gold…almost like snakes. His long black hair flowed down to his waist and the single metal plate on his head shined, showing off the single musical note.
"Such a young little girl," he said thoughtfully. "You'd be an excellent follower. A few years of training should do you good."
He kneeled down and examined the girl head to toe, grinning fiercely. The girl raised her head and looked at the man curiously. He looked so powerful…so much stronger than anyone she met before. Where had he come from? And why was he here?
"Come," he said softly, holding out his hand. The girl hesitated, wondering if she should accept his offer. Deciding that she had no other choice, she nodded her head faintly, afraid that if she said no, that if she decided against him…she wouldn't survive at all.
Placing her little hand in his, she stood up, smiling slightly. And then an ear splitting scream rose in the air, "Shin!"
