Making a Difference

The grave was older than the buildings surrounding it. There wasn't anything truly significant about this particular marker in the ground. From any passer by, it looked like a simple stone hedge—the inscription worn away by time. A place forgotten by the living.

Yet here lied the body of the most cherished of people. Had they never been born, the youkai of yore would still roam these lands and savagely harm their human prey. It was not this person's intention to play the part of the youkais' passage away from history and into the winds of myth and legend. She was born only to die after all.

What was unusual about her, however, was that instead of dying once…she died thrice—and lived a thousand times over. Very unusual would not begin to describe the anomaly of this one human life.

Sadly, as said before, this place, this grave is forgotten by the living. So, no one can tell her story. Yet here we are, alive because she is dead, existing because she no longer exists. Born to die, right? Time has a place for her though; time has kept a single memory for her…

Once upon a time, an innocent mortal girl happened upon a wounded youkai Lord and forever changed his path of conquest into the path that would bring about the age of mortals….The path was called Compassion.
