15 Years Ago
"…so you see that's what the burst of light was. She must never know. She will be a threat to all we hold dear in our beliefs." The strange doctor told my dad.
I never heard the first part. I can't remember anything before this. My first memory was being told I was a threat and then the doctor and my dad saw I was awake and stopped talking. The trip home was oddly quiet. My mother and father kept glancing over in my direction. I'd take the quiet over what happened next. I got up late at night and noticed my parent's door was ajar and light was streaming through.
"The uroboros?" my mother exclaimed.
"Yea, that was the doctor said. That light was some kind of beacon--! What are doing up, honey?" My father saw me standing there in the hallway.
"I..I had a bad dream," I told my dad.
"Yea you probably did!" my mother said snidely.
"Shush! You're frightening her," my dad told my mom.
"Humph! I hope this one isn't a freak," my mom said and patted her stomach and rolled over on her side. I started to cry.
"HEY! Snap out of it and stop crying!" Golbeze said. "Jeez! If you break down after every snap of a trig, you won't last long. Come now and MOVE!"
At that a giant force came down and the street erupted into flames and rubble. Miho collected her self and caught a glimpse of the new enemy. It was strangely beautiful being with six wings, two coving its face, two to fly with, and two coving itself. Behind it was a rotating symbol that looked like a dragon eating its own tail.
"Screw the damn angel and worry more about Zeromus that still trying to kill you!" Golbeze yelled out at her.
"Hrmm…," was her only response as she looked around, but it was too late and Zeromus hit her with a peace of street.
14 Years Ago
"Girl! Go and get some food for your brother!" My mother yelled at me.
Since my first memory our relationship as being a steep decline, and when Tyr was born I became nothing more then a seven year old room mate. I can't remember the first five years of my life so I don't know what I was to her before. My dad can't stand it when she treats me like that. 'Her name is Miho, not girl' he tells her. She never listens to him.
"Did you hear me girl! Get food for your brother!" She yelled again.
I got up and got his favorite jar of food and handed it to her with a smile and all I got back in turn was an 'humph'.
Dad finally came back after working all day with Regal downtown at the monastery. I liked Regal. He always had some candy to give me. I didn't have many friends growing up. I remember these two twin alchemist. There names were Elly and Jenna. I was forbid to practice alchemy. My father said it was not for me. He said if I really wanted to protect my self. I should learn the arte of swordsmanship. He always made a joke and said that I'd be so good they'd have to call it swords "person" ship. It always made me giggle. I was eleven when I got my first real sword. Elly's father made it for me from some iron deposits. It was also about this time I started to fell sorry for Tyr.
"Hey Kula, she's breathing again!" FoSoYa exclaimed when I opened my eyes.
"Jenna and Elly used to live on this street. We played in a park around that corner together. This beast as destroyed too much of my town! Your Golbeze right? I want your sword," Miho said in one quick breath.
"Uhh…you sure you can handle this? Not everyone can handle Hrunting. Handling this—"Golbeze started rambling.
"I can handle it." Miho stated calmly, but irked.
He handed the sword over to Miho. If having both shadow and holy energy coursing within the blade took her by surprise, she didn't show it. She grasped the sword in her right hand and ran towards Zeromus. When she got up to it, she swung and Zeromus evaded by flipping backwards into the air.
"You can't beat me," it said and summoned dark energy to its right hand and thrust it at Miho. She swung the Hrunting to knock the energy back at Zeromus. The blade connected with the energy and stunned her a bit, but the energy went to Zeromus.
"Heh," Zeromus smirked and teleported behind Miho. She realized it too late and was hit with the dark energy at point blank. She went flying into the nearest ruin, a collapsing building as falling where the park was. She used the Hrunting as a brace and lifted herself self up. She was struggling to get to her feet and Zeromus saw its chance. He formed a blade from the dark energy and rushed Miho.
The Seraphim said with out words "no."

"Ready to break in your new sword? I hope so, cause I'm going to summon up something fierce for you!" Jenna said. She was already opening the gate to summon before she started speaking. Crazy girl.
"Alrighty! Let's go!" I said and grasped the sword in my right hand and my trusty Buckler in my left.
"Tangled by all that which is intangible, come to me! Fenrir!" Jenna said and the gate opened up and out came one terrifying pooch. "Whoa, so that's what Fenrir looks like…"
"What? You never summoned Fenrir before. This wasn't about me training and it was you getting something new and wanting to see what it looks like!" I yelled at my friend.
"Hey! You might wanna stop yelling at me and stop Fenrir before it eats you!" Jenna taunted.
I knew Jenna, but I have no idea about how accurate that statement was. So I reclaimed my stance. Buckler first I rushed in. He bit down and blocked and thrusted at him. I connected with his front paw and he yelped. He tried to swipe me away with his other paw. I rolled away and chopped across at the paw I hit the first time. He jumped back and snapped at me with his jaw. I blocked and he took with him my buckler and some of me.
"Damn, I only learned how to fight with a shield! Call him back!" I yelled at her panicking. Fenrir was covered with bright red symbols and disappeared back into the gate.
"Hehehe," my friend was laughing at me. "Hahahaha, Oh noes. Big scary puppy eats me all up, save me 'Oh heroic Jennifer'" now she's mocking me.
"As fun as this conversation is, I have to go home," I said and headed off to my house.
Heading home I saw my little brother. That's strange I thought to my self. He was crying. Knowing him I figured a kitten meowed at him. When I got closer I had a terrible premonition. I started to jog towards him. The closer I got and the more I saw, the faster I started to run. I saw shards of glass lying on the ground and saw Tyr was cut and bleeding, way worse then my wound from Fenrir's bite. Then I heard sirens from behind. The sirens made my feeling even worse. I got to the house a few seconds before the ambulance. "Daddy's dead," Tyr said between sobs.
Miho looked in front of her and saw a scar on the land. It began five feet in front of her and ran well over 100 yards. There was a flame about thirty feet in front of her, where she a gas main as been hit.
"Hahahaha. She still hates you Miho. You still think it in the back of your mind. Why don't you die and ask her hell yourself. Here, let me help you on your trip!" Zeromus's voice from above said before he unleashed his strongest concentration of dark energy upon Miho.
Five Years Ago
A lot of stuff happened since my father died. Jenna and Elly moved away, there was a university from a far away land that needed Jenna's father's Alchemic abilities. I started to spend more and more time away from home and helping Regal out at the monastery. My mom started to get sick and kept an even closer eye on Tyr. She never lets him out of her sight. He's home schooled now. With out dad at home, there is no one to protect me from her. She keeps getting sicker and sicker. I want to help her, but she calls every attempt at my help poison. She hasn't gotten out of bed for an entire week. She called me in there. Maybe this was it. Maybe she is going to apologize and take the medicine I made for her. I quickly ran and got the medicine and ran to her room.
"Girl," she addressed me, "why did you bring that poison in here. Aren't I dieing fast enough for you? Well, you want have to wait much longer. I'm going to be gone in awhile and I wanted to tell you before then. I hate you Miho."
I dropped the medicine I made for her and ran. I didn't know where I was running too. I just ran. The entire her voice was in my head "I hate you Miho."
"I hate you Miho"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Miho yelled. The dark energy rushing at her dispersed. The Seraphim was there.
"Not much time now. Uroboros will be here soon. You've brought the end upon this world," The Seraphim said in a monotones voice.
"It's…my…my fault. This world is going to be destroyed and I did it?" Miho was in disbelief.
"Not all blame rests upon you. It's not definite. The world doesn't have to be destroyed. Uroboros can be stopped," The Seraphim informed Miho.
"By you?" Miho asked it.
"No, I'm not allowed to interfere and I must follow Zeromus. He must be stopped above all else," and with that Seraphim vanished.
