"Father, tell me is what they say true?" a young girl
asked her father.

"Yes, Meda it is all true. The legend says on this very day a young girl will be born. She alone will awaken Masou, she will save our world."

"But father, how can this be? What role will we play?"Meda asked her dear father.

"You are but a child now, Meda. When you grow older, you will take your place as the temple master and priestess. You will succeed me and rival this young
girl. Training is most important for you. You will learn more of this girl then. Now let us sit in peace." Shappa loved his daughter dearly. Meda was all he had in this world. He did not wish to tell her the whole Legend of Masou. Her fate was also written in the scrolls.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The leader of the most feared warriors in this world, sat at his desk thinking. He had sat at his desk most often now, the world was becoming desperate and
tragic. He never wanted to bring children in this world, but now he had a daughter. He didn't want the Shizu Toras' to die out, but maybe it would be better.
He thought to himself, Sango. She was going to change the world. He knew she would. There was something about her, it made him realize she would be something
great. He knew once the Leaders of Masou found out his daughter was born they would come.......

Sure enough the next day the Leaders had arrived. Their master Shappa Heta lead his own daughter Meda Oya up the stairs of the Nari Miya. It was great in
size and in these times only two temples existed thus. Nari Miya encasing the Shizu Toras' and Yakez Temple of Masou. Their meanings described the way of life for
these people.

Shappa was greeted by Shiko, the leader of the Shizu's. They had always been rivals. Masou believed the Toras' to be evil incarnate. They murdered for
hire, assassins is what they were called. Masou believed them cold blooded killers. Shizu Toras' believed Masou evil incarnate. They wanted to destroy mankind for a rebirth of this world. They took away jobs from them by making the people disappear. Shizu
only wanted to rid the world of evil; that is why they were hired. The people they kill were demonic humans who had let greed and evil consume them. Masou wanted
to rid the world of that very same evil, but not by killing. Healing is what they did. Then they stored the bodies for recovery and rebirth.

"Shappa, I knew you would come. To see my daughter no doubt."Shiko said.
"Yes, you are correct." Shappa told him. "Well it is not everyday arch rivals meet for
such. I suppose you still want to convince me that Sango will hold the fate of the world in her hands?" Shiko was aggitated by Masou. They were always after
him. They wanted to destroy the Shizu Toras'. What was it about them that made them think they were allowed to play god? (he's thinking, so be sure to italasize this part)*Their god is of Fire. Our god is thunder. Do we not come from different elements. They want the world solely for themselves. The universe too.*

"Do not think such things Shiko, we just want a better world. Our god is not one to be greedy and evil that way. Our fight would be for nothing if that was true."
Shappa was able to read minds very clearly. No one could erect a barrier to stop him so far. "I see you still like intruding into my personal territory. It didn't stop you then and I know it won't now, so lets go see her." Shiko led the way. They walked a great
hall which was covered in tapestries of past leaders and the greateat of warriors. Shappa was impressed. They entered a large room off to the right of the hall. Meda was closely following her father. She heard a small child crying.

"Father, that must be her right?" Meda asked.

"Yes,Meda. I believe that is her."

"She is so tiny, how is it that she will do as the scrolls say?"

"She will grow up, just like you."
"Oh." Meda was curious as to what she will look like when she gets older.

"Did you think you came out this size when you were born?" Shappa smiled.
Meda smiled back as Shiko returned to them with Sango. Meda stared at the child with brown hair and brown eyes. Her eye lids were already tatooed with the pink
symbol for girl. When she got older it would change: if she was stronger, the color would deepen. Meda's eye lids were tattooed purple for priestess. They were already
changing color.

"She is a pretty girl, Mr. Shiko." Meda commented.

"Thank you."

"I agree with my daughter, she looks like she will grow up to be strong."
"Is she really the one, Shappa? Is your legendcorrect?"

Shiko was worried. He had the feeling that
Shappa and Masou were right. "Yes."

"Then she too will have a brother who will rival her and nearly destroy her?"

"The time will come for you to see this and know I spoke the truth. Come Meda we must return to Yakez."

Shappa didn't tell him too much about the Legends; some of it still didn't make sense to him. The world will just have to wait and see....
