Chapter 1
The wind was gentle near the Kohaku River. It rustled through the leaves of the forest, softly caressing the smooth bark of the willows before continuing on to the other side. As friendly as the cool air was it did not soften the hard look on the dark mans face, nor did the moons calm glow bring light to his eyes.
One could tell the man was dark and hard before he even spoke. His gaze was like stone and he did not sway with the wind. His posture was as stiff as his gaze, his knees licked into place like to strong pillars of stone. One could tell he did not like the wind but his hatred for the river was far more obvious. His stony black eyes were like two coals burning in the fire of his hatred. His revulsion put an edge to his voice when he called for his assistant.
"Paulson!"
"Y-yessir!" a skinny man stuttered.
"How is our progress?" he enunciated.
"Its good sir. The trucks have arrived with the granite in tow. It should be ready shortly."
The man did not turn his eyes from the river but his irritation was apparent nonetheless. "And Kohaku?"
Paulson blinked. "Wha...Oh, the river. Draining as we speak sir."
The dark man nodded once sharply before turning to face his assistant. "Excellent. Make sure its done tonight."
"...Yessir..." he murmured. Paulson spared only a moment to wonder at his employer's gloating manner before he turned his mind back to the work at hand.
"You, there! Begin filling the river!"
Pain. A dull ache. My river drains. I weaken. My river drains. Pain, I ache. My river drains.
Sharp stones. They pummel me, cutting. I roar with pain. My river fills.
"Sir?" Paulson called. "Sir? Mr. Firestone!"
"What is it?" the dark man growled.
"Sir, there's some pretty weird noises coming from the river, sir!"
"You mean scary?" he sneered. ?gDon?ft waste my time, Paulson. Keep filling."
More pain cutting, sharp. I thrash. My river drains. I weaken. Stones crash, rumble, cut. My river fills. I roar.
"Sir!" Paulson screamed. "Something's not right, sir! I think its an earthquake!"
The dark man glares. "Superstitious fool. I suppose I had better allay your pathetic fears." He stalked toward the dying river.
My river drains, almost gone. My river fills, almost dead. I grow quiet. Grief, agony, indecision. I abandon my river, my home. I emerge.
The dark man chuckled gleefully as the puny river spirit gave up its home and emerged. His eyes glinted cruelly and he bared his teeth in a sharp, triumphant grin.
I hover above my dead river and glare. They will pay. The puny humans scream and run, a small river flowing from my wrath. But one does not. A dark man smiles. A dark man laughs.
Firestone laughed, heedless of the wild flight of the construction workers. The dragon roared its fury.
"Yes, come! Kill me now Kohaku!"
The dragon dove. The dark man laughed and raised his hand.
Pain, fire, searing agony. I burn. Fire shooting from the dark man's ring. It burns me. I fall, I bleed, I moan. I die.
