Chapter 2: Destiny Revealed
Jade stared at the giant golden bird. "Who-?" Tamahome saw what she was staring at. "Oh, that's Suzaku, our guardian god. There are four gods: Genbu of the Northern region, Byakko of the West, Seiryu of the East, and Suzaku of the South. We live in Konan, the Southern region, so we worship Suzaku. It's said that each of the four gods has seven warriors, each representing the twenty-eight constellations. Also, each of the gods has a Celeste Warrior, a lead warrior. Once the Priestess of each of the gods finds their seven warriors and their Celeste Warrior, they summon their god. Of course, the Priestess of Suzaku hasn't been found yet." Jade nodded. "Hey Miaka, did ya hear that?" She looked back. She didn't see Miaka anywhere. "Miaka? Damn it, she's missing! C'mon Tamahome, we have to find her." She grabbed the startled boy's arm and dragged him out the door.
***************
Miaka crept through the hallway, sniffing the air. A smile lit up her face. "Food!" Coming upon the kitchen, she found a wonderful spread. After she polished the whole thing, she snuck off again. Suddenly, she found herself in the courtyard. "Eh? How did I get here? What door did I come through? I'M LOST!!!" she wailed. A SD Miaka ran around in circles like a chicken with it's head cut off. " I think you want to go that way. Did you lose your companions?" Miaka stopped and stared at the young woman that stood in front of her. Grinning, the woman pointed to the left. "Who are you, if I may ask? You have such odd clothes." Miaka paused, unsure of whether she trusted the woman. "It's okay. I'm on your side. My name's Hotohori, by the way." Miaka introduced herself. "I'm Miaka Yuki. I'm not from this world, and neither is one of my companions." Hotohori immidiately perked up. "You are? That's amazing! Tell me all about it!" Miaka stared at Hotohori. "What's wrong?" a puzzled Hotohori asked a blushing Miaka. "O-oh, I was just thinking how beautiful you are." Hotohori laughed. "I get that a lot." Suddenly, a group of guards came running in, chasing Tamahome and Jade. "Damn! They're fast!" Jade yelled as she rounded the corner. Hotohori stepped forward. " Stop immidiately!" The guards froze, as well as Jade and Tamahome. The young woman apologised. "Did they hurt you? I'm so sorry about that." Miaka and Jade noticed that everyone bowed at the sight of Hotohori. "Eh?" Jade said, sweatdropping. Tamahome hissed 'That's His Majesty! Show some respect!" Miaka seemed confused. "But how could a beautiful young woman be the emporer?" Tamahome let out a cry of dismay. "His Majesty is a man, you baka!" The girl stepped forward and put her hands on Hotohori's chest. "Yep, it's flat all right. So that must mean that it's all below..." Jade pulled her away screeching. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?" The emporer smiled. "Come meet me in the throne room after you are done cleaning up."
**************
Tara gasped. "Jade gets to meet the emporer! She's so lucky...'The two girls and Tamahome came to the throne room where Hotohori was waiting for them."
**************
Jade followed Tamahome as the were ushered into the throne room. Hotohori sat in his imperial robes. Smiling, he rose, drawing a scroll from his sleeve. "This is Konan's version of The Universe Of The Four Gods. It is said that two girls would come from a foriegn world. They were destined to be the Priestess and Celeste Warrior, Kokyu, of Suzaku. The seven constellations of the Southern region are: Tamahome, Hotohori, Nuriko, Chichiri, Tasuki, Mitsukake, and Chiriko. As you might have guessed, I am the Suzaku warrior Hotohori." He paused long enough to pull down his collar slightly to reveal the symbol "Star", which glowed a firey red. "And Tamahome here is none other than the warrior of the same name." Jade grinned. "Oh, that explains the ogre symbol!" Hotohori nodded. "I'm not sure which one of you is the Priestess, so follow me to the shrine of Suzaku." He led them back to the room with the statue of Suzaku in it. Hotohori pointed to a stone platform. Stuck in the platform was a beautiful sword. "The only one who can pull out that sword is the Celeste Warrior..." Miaka ran forward before he could continue. She grabbed the sword hilt and vainly attempted to pull it out. She soon gave up. Everyone looked at Jade. She gave an anxious sigh and slowly walked up. Placing her hands on the hilt, she realized it was surprisingly warm. She gave it a slight tug, and felt it move slowly. Grasping it tighter, she pulled it out in one quick movement.
Muahahaha! Another cliffhanger! Gotta go, but I'll work hard on Chapter 3. See ya!
