The Legend of Sachi

In a frozen land far away, there lived a most beautiful girl named Maria. Her heart was pure, her movements graceful, her actions gentle. She grew up with very close friends and many proposals. Despite her cozy happiness, she felt very alone. All of the men she had ever met could only comment on her beauty. Was there not one that would take the time to get to know her? In her sadness, she ran away from her winter land to find a better life. She traveled and witnessed the changes in weather. The ground turned from white to green. The trees grew fuller and held the colours of nature, red and yellow, green and brown. The blue sky broke through the sheet of white clouds. She came upon a village where the buildings were not covered in snow and the streets were a rich colour of brown. She was delighted to see such life. The villagers were very kind. Especially the men.

Especially the men.

She realized that her fate had been decided long ago. There was no way that she could escape this destiny of hers. She had found a new home, new friends, but still not the pure love that she wanted, that she once harboured. Filled with grief, she stumbled away to a waterfall that she regularly visited. There, she wept and called out for someone to help her. No one answered her calls.

When she returned to the village, she was distraught and angry at the world. In all her anger, she killed nearly everyone in the village. When there was no one in sight, she did not stop. She continued to the next village and when nightfall had arrived, she stealthily slit the throats of all the men she could find. Her hatred was grand. Her hatred was overwhelming. She became entranced in her search for the perfect man but deemed all men unacceptable. This contradiction put her at a standstill and turned her into a monster. She would not eat, she would not rest. She drank the blood of all her victims.

Her activity was noticed by a village head and he sent his men to try and kill her. The men never came back. Maria had seduced them and took them for her own. She fed off of their 'love' for her, taking energy whenever she felt weak. Eventually, she isolated herself from society and fled the village with her men, whom she called 'pets'.

In some twisted way, she had become a demon. Her once human, warm-hearted and kind self had vanished. She never ate or drank any food or water and starved her human self until it died away. She had complete control over her evil actions and took no heed to how she might have felt for taking men away from their own families, their own lives. She, the demon known as the lonely Widow, even though she never married, continues to haunt the lives of men.

A foot note at the bottom of the story read that the creation of a demon succubus was more complicated and that the above legend is as the story was told. Not all details were presents and not all information was correct.

Chiyoko stared at it. She slowly flipped the page. There, there was information on how a demon succubus mesmerizes her victims. She identifies their feelings, brings them into a state of insecurity and puts a 'spell' over them with her eyes. She then makes them remain in a blissful state while she sucks out there energy through the mouth.

Chiyoko brushed her eye. Is that what she does? When men are kind to her, after she looks at them with pleading eyes to get the plushie that she wants? How she knows that they feel sad, lonely, or angry, even if they smile? She is a demon succubus?

Chiyoko scanned the whole book. There must be something else. She can't be a succubus. What is Chiyoko looking for? Is she trying to find out if she is a different kind of demon? Maybe her mother isn't a succubus, but one of the terrible demons that rip the spine out of their victims before they are devoured? Would Chiyoko rather be that kind of demon? She slowly closed the book and stared at it.

Haro would have some explaining to do when she got home. Chiyoko crammed the book into her bag, not caring if she wasn't supposed to take it, and ran out of the library.


Thanks for reading! :D
