-Prologue-
- The Fall of Gensokyo-
Another cold autumn day in Gensokyo, the beautiful fall colored leaves falling to the ground light up the land even brighter than it usually is. The youkai are asleep for the winter and Gensokyo is at peace for the time being. Atop the mountains of Gensokyo the Scarlet Mansion sits atop the beautiful scenery, cold and desolate. Inside it's corridors a bustling with cold winter air. All of its inhabitants go about the usual functions of their day. Sakuya tending to the cleaning of the mansion. Patchouli and Koakuma reading and discussing old literature as they usually did. Mei Ling asleep outside the mansions gates, and of course Remillia sitting in her scarlet colored bed on her back.
Remillia leaned up from her bed with a bit of a pout to her face "Gensokyo is so boring during this time of the year….Isn't there anything to do?" She exclaimed to herself as she gazed out her window with a glare of complete boredom. Almost as if knowing Remillia's boredom was starting to stir a familiar knock sounded on Remillia's room door. "Milady is everything alright?"
"Yes Sakuya….just bored is all"
Sakuya creaked the door to Remillia door just enough to peak her head in to speak to the tiny lady sitting alone on the giant bed
"Might I suggest something Milady?"
Almost sarcastically responding to Sakuya's remark Remillia nodded
"Might you visit your sister? It's been quite some time since you've seen her and I am sure she'd like your company." Sakuya stared down at the ground almost knowing Remillia would respond with the usual "I'm busy" she was accustomed to. But suddenly glanced up as she noticed Remillia standing with a smile for the first time this fall.
"What a great idea Sakuya...Would you prepare me an outfit to visit my darling sister?"
Sakuya flabbergasted at Remillia's sudden enthusiasm nodded and smiled as she stepped into the young ladies room making her way to her closet. Sakuya Suddenly stopped by her ladies words once more.
"What do you think you're doing Sakuya?!" Remillia folding her arms in the usual manner as she did when she was displeased with Sakuya's decision.
"Sakuya turned around hastily with her ladies sudden snap and bowed. "I'm sorry milady"
"This is a special occasion! We must get an entire new outfit before I visit my darling sister. And something for her as well! "Remillia exclaimed with exuberance.
Sakuya left the room hastily making preparations for the young mistress's visit. Remillia left to her room alone once more gazed outside with a bit more excitement than before. She hadn't seen her darling sister in over 400 years. A bit of sadness filled Remillia's eyes as she gazed outside looking at the scenery.
