In ancient times, humans and demons lived together in one world. The two fought both each other and themselves causing untold destruction and instability in the world. The humans used sparse magic power and weapons to fight off the demons, and for the longest time, were able to hold their own against these agents of chaos. But in the middle of this time of chaos, a powerful force emerged. Hidden in a jewel, it held enough power to grant the wish of any who obtain it, good or evil. It became the centerpoint of dozens of pursuits for power, leading men and demons to their deaths in the name of victory. It should have been destroyed, but alas, it was not. A girl who traveled to the past with powers she didn't know she shattered the jewel, scattering its pieces throughout the land. This would change the course of history, forever. The power contained within a single shard was enough to empower any demon with untold might, and turned almost any man to a heart of darkness. Both demons and humans fought for the shards. The girl who broke it made a vow, to return the pieces together and end the conflict that was killing many innocents. She traveled with a half-demon, on a quest to collect the many shards. The half-demon wanted it to increase his own power, but also to save the mortals he thought he despised.
But he was not alone.
Strewn through time were six souls, fated to come together and finish the quest that held their own future in the balance. If they had not come, one cannot imagine the evil that would inhabit the world today. But they did. A half-demon, an ex-manslayer, a man from a distant future, a spiritually enhanced teenager, a idiot swordsmen, and a man of the wildfire, accompanied by a miko and a beautiful godess of death, were fated to come together and end the evil that would eventually change our world. Though history may not remember, we are in their debt. And now, their story can be told.
Author notes: This prolouge came out after I put out the first chapter, so thats why its here now. Can you guess the six people? The first one's pretty easy, but the rest? Sorry, there wont be Miroku or Sango or Shippou in this fic, so you can cross those out. See if you can figure them out!
Disclaimer: Nope, dont own any of it, cept for my plot, and that ain't worth much!
And a big thanks to Saya for reviewing my fic for the first time!
