((Disclaimer: I do not own Fushigi Yuugi. No way, really? I didn't know that. These disclaimers get old after awhile…
I own Rei Kishi, Hikari, Motoki, and some various characters that haven't been introduced yet.
Thanks to all the people who reviewed!
FYfangirl28: Great story! *gringrin* Thanks! I was trying to make the Prologue as creepy as possible. That's right, there is a little romance planned…
Riverwood: I'm glad you like my fic! I can't wait until you start posting one of your own! I'm sure it will be great!
Otaku-no-miko: Thanks, Kristen-sama. For more things than just reviewing.
If I've forgotten anybody, I'm so sorry!!! I lost all my review notices… *sob* I'll do better next time!))
Chapter Five: Prophecy
Once, long ago, there had been a dark age. Many had died in fierce wars over the torn lands. The people blamed the gods for their misfortunes and turned away from the only beings that could have protected them.
Thus the gods left the blood-washed lands, waiting for their people to come back to their senses, to push the darkness back from their souls.
Eventually a hero came to be. She was a warrior, born in a village directly in the center of the cardinal points. She was bound to all the gods, the first believer in many centuries of carnage. Uniting the people of the Universe, she waged war on the darkness.
She perished on the battlefield at the hands of a demon, but her cause was not lost, and she was not forgotten. The war was won, and the empires settled into peace.
…But the darkness had not died. It had been weakened, yet it still resided in the hearts of men. And still does to this day.
In hopes of binding the darkness permanently two new godchildren were created. Hikari to push it back, Motoki to bind it.
For a while all was good.
Then Motoki began to study the darkness. She became immersed in her experiments, welcoming the black into her own heart. Eventually it consumed her, twisted her in its own image, and she had to be bound into her temple, lest she be used to bring the darkness back into the world.
A seer prophesized the second coming of the warrior maiden that had been their savior. A warrior to save the empires.
The Champion of Hikari.
She would once again unite the peoples if the world and this time she'd destroy the evil forever.
…He prophesized one other thing: The unbinding of the dark.
((This one is rather short… Next chapter is long, though. Chapter 7 is under way, and I think it should be finished sometime this week, so chapter 6 should be up next week.))
