I walked slowly down the path sulking. I had wanted to go to an old cave I had found down near the river, but my mother had said no. I sighed, if I had just asked my father, I probably could have gone. But now I was stuck going to my aunt's house.
My name is Reina no Taisho. I'm the amazing, talented daughter of InuYasha no Taisho and Kagome Higurashi. I'm thirteen years old right now, so I'm not the best fighter in the world. But I will be one day! I'm gonna be as good as my father, and be the greatest warrior there ever was.
It took me forever to get to My Aunt Kaita's place. She lives near the next village, around the Karn Mountains. She was the village healer and Seer. She was also quite the sorceress.
"Kaita!" I called when I got there. "I'm here to see you!" I stuck my head in to see my aunt asleep in the corner. I turned around with a sigh. Now I would have to go home…
"Well, Reina!" A voice said. "I was waiting for you to get here!" I whipped around. Brix, a western celestial dragon, sat there, his head tilted to the side. "Would you like to go on a trip?" My eyes widened, and Brix grinned.
Next thing I knew we were both at the cave I had so desperately hoped to explore. I turned to Brix.
"Will you be going in?" I asked. Brix shook his head.
"No." he said. "But I will place a spell upon you to protect you from harm." With that, he started humming and chanting a short spell. There was a flash of rainbow light, and I gasped.
"Thanks Brix!" I called, and ran off into the cave. I was sure everything would be fine. How could any harm come to me when I was protected by one of Brix's spells?
What I didn't know was that I wasn't under the spell. I didn't know that I had been rejected because destiny held a different purpose for me. Turns out…there was a lot I didn't know…
I wandered around for a while. At first, it all seemed fine. But soon I had no clue where I was. The caves were much bigger then I had anticipated. When I finally saw a light, I was sure it was the way out. When I got there though, a surprise met me.
It seemed I had stumbled upon the back entrance to the cave. It was a steep drop to the bottom, so I knew I had to turn back. That as when I spotted something in the distance. I leaned forward to get a closer look, and made a mistake.
I lost my footing, and down I went. I crashed into rocks and other things as I plummeted down. When I hit the bottom, the pain was so bad I couldn't feel anything. I was dimly aware of another presence somewhere close by, but soon even that was gone as my mind collapsed. Soon I could take no more, and my mind embraced the darkness…
