Chapter: 2 Encounters...

Shiori ran through the halls, tears streamed her face as she held herself. She had saw a sight no child should see, her mother was slaughtered, killed right infront of her. She felt like she was choking on her throat, her pride, all that she was she had to swallow roughly. She could barely run without almost hitting things, she stummbled and fell on the floor and coughed as she spit. Wipping her mouth as her face was red, she looked back and stood and started running fastly down the halls. She was wearing a fine silked shirt with golden buttens, she had pants to match and white stockings. Her hair was pulled back to the side by her fathers hair clip, her hair flowed in the breeze as she ran down the steps. When she reached the bottem clanging steps could be heard running towards her, it was a Crimson Soldier. He had his sword raised ready to strike her down with a rough blow. She cowarded down onto the stairs until the man stopped in his tracks, gouring blood fell to the floor as he collapsed down.

"Masami!" She cryed out as he held out his hand to her, pulling her up and took her down towards the main doors. He had a small pony tail like his fathers, wore dress pants and stockings, had a shirt on that was open slightly. His face was brightly beautiful and feminine like his fathers. His eye's were of his mother and graceful steps of his mother also. He turned and made sure she was keeping up, as soon as they neared the doors Masami pulled out his sword and jabbed the door forcing it open. They ran out through the courtyard and past the fountain and gardens, they had to escape or they wouldn't get out alive.

"Ma-Masami! I saw,... I saw-!" Shiori choked on her words as she closed her eye's, tears streamed her face like a water fall. But Masami had no time to turn and comfert his sister, first he had to drag her away from this place, and fast for that matter. Soon they came to the great doors infront of the castle, they were locked tightly and would no budge. Masami's sword made no damamge neither, so he searched for another way out. He soon caught gaze of a crack in the wall, it was the right size to squeeze him and his sister through. Slowly he nudged through his sister's little body, soon he had to get his through. Suddenly the doors to the castle bursted open and Crimson Soldiers had their spears pointed right at him, Shiopri tugged and pulled furiousely, "Hurry!" She cryed out pulling furiousely and roughly until finally he was free from his cemented cage. The spears jabbed at the hole trying to make it bigger to go through but to no avail.

Shiori watched on in horror as she saw that could of been her brother, soon Masami took hold of her hand and they dashed down the path. Shiori tripped a few times but gained her balance, "Where are we going?" She asked in a desprate cry, "Deep in the forest!" He said in a urgent reply as they both tripped down a sudden hill rolling and twirling as they both went 'oaf' at the bottem. Shiori slowly looked up, she screamed out as Masami looked over as well. There was this huge rock figure, though it was clear and of water. Masami spoke, "A Water Golem?" It spoke, "Sue... Sei... The children... They flee..." Suddenly a women hopped from behind the giants leg and smiled sweetly, "Yea! Aw aren't they adorable sister Sei?" Another women gracefully twirled from the monsters left leg smirking, "Hey what do ya know, they are adorable!"

The two women appeared to be twin's, their hair fasinted in pig tails that tied together in graceful loops, they both wore a summer like dress that was red and green mixed. They had high heeled shoes on that were also green and red, their skin was a vanilla color as they both had beauty marks on the same place. There eye's were a chestnut brown as they giggled. Sei spoke, "Well what's wrong you two? Ya'll look a bit lost." Sue nodded, "And forgive my sister's ruddness, I am Sue Ling and she is Sei Ling. We are the Lings of Hope." Masami shelthed his sword and blocked his sister some, "I am Masami Ful He, and this is Shiori Ful He." The Ling's gasped, "You mean your the goddess! But you look only the age of eight years!" Shiori slowly stood and gave a best brave look she could, "I am the goddess. I am to protect the seal,... If anyone get's it,... then all shall be lost." Masami spoke after her, "She mean's, if anyone evil gets it. Go gain' it you must kill her, and I won't let anyone near my sister!" He blocked her as the Water Golem slowly lowered his hand, Sue spoke, "Don't worry, Jinamaru won't hurt you. He's just a big softy, and if you like you two can stay with us. It'll be an honor protecting the goddess."

Masmai glared, but if not for the soft touch of his sister he wouldn't of let up. "Masami,.. I trust them... I can see them, they are nice. It be best if we did... Please Masami..." Masami turned to his sister and sighed, he nodded, "Fine. We shall go with you two, but I'll be watching you!" The girls laughted, "Fine by us then!" Sei replyed as she got in the hand of Jinamaru, Sue followed after. "Would you two like to hop on?" Masami hesitaed as he slowly followed, Shiori cheerfully with a happy face followed also.

With one huge step Jinamaru stood and slowly walked through the forest with the four in his hands, he stomped and marched through the trees as if they were nothing more then grass. They were heading towards the swamp, for god knows what though.

Castle

Zhang He was holding the body of his beloved wife in his arm's, tears streamed his face as she shook his head. Pressing it on the chest of his lover, she morned for her. "How dare they..." He cursed as he slowly looked up with fury in his eyes. "How dare they... Take my children and kill the one beautiful thing in my life!" He stroked Grace Ful's cheek softly as she fluttered ehr eye's open and coughed. "Zhang... He..." She said softly, a spark of hope flickered in his chest as he held her close. "You are alive!" She coughed again, "Barely... The children... They ran off... The soldier's... Said... they are going to kill her... Zhang He... They are going to bring forth the seeds..." Zhang He shook his head as he stroked his wife's cheek. "Do not worry my blossem, they will not have our children. But first your life is on the line... I must save you."

She shook her head, "I am beyound that..." Suddenly a ligh filled the room. Zhang He turned towards the window covering his eye's some as he stared on. "Who are you! What are you!" The light brightened and spoke, "You must be saved... You are not yet ready to leave this earth... Just yet..." It sounded as if two voices spoke at once. Suddenly the light zoomed at him and then...
