Prologue
The eerie tower loomed over her; it looked like a mast of pure destruction. She was cautious, the area smelled of demons, and she was one who fought mercilessly. Just as she was beginning to open the door, a slight movement above head caught her eye; the demons were trying an ambush.
"Amateurs."
With swift movements, she bounded towards the sky, erupting in blue-green flames, as her bow grew through her palm, and fitted up towards her elbow. Blades formed at the base of her feet, and her arms armoured with claws of a beast. The demons landed a blow on the ground where she had been a fraction of a second ago, before she leaped into the sky. Gracefully, she lifted her bow as an arrow materialized in mid-air, and almost instantaneously, she grabbed it and fitted it into her bow.
"Be gone, pesky demons. I am not one to be reckoned with."
She leaped on the roof, her blades crushing through two demons at once, their blood gushing forth, and her tongue frolicking about, as if it wanted a taste of the horror. In the process of that, the demons' eyeballs fell out, their tongues severed off, and their faces dropped in horror, as to imagine what kind of a monster she was. Her face full of delight; she pulled the string back, and as she released, the arrow, almost impossibly, at the last millisecond before she fired, split into a hundred pieces, equally deadly, and annihilated everything in her path. Even a horde of demons could not stop her unrelenting force.
Slowly, like a divine being, she descended upon the ground and whispered
"I am Akahana… Lady of Death."
