It was sunrise when in the distance of a nearby forest in the land of the Fire Country, you could see a clan of half-neko and half-kitsune humans, heading to the most beautiful, but also forbidden, Dark Sanctuary Tree, to gaze at its divine beauty. It was rumored that this tree resembled what trees would look like in Heaven or Hell, for it would looked different to each and every human's, demon's, and creature's eyes. No one knows how it became to be the way it is and have never tried to come up with any sort of explanation. But hidden on its shaded branches are four beautiful, strong teenage girls and teenage boys.
Their leader, Raven Nicole, is eighteen years old. She has spiky, wild, black hair and amber golden eyes like that of a cat, and pale skin. She was sitting on a low branch, with her back on the trunk and her right leg dangling down, thinking about their new assigned mission. Next to her is her best friend, who is like a younger sister, Miyuki Kiyoshi.
Miyuki is sixteen years old. She has silver/grey hair with black ends, yellow eyes that turn red during the day time, and pale skin like Raven's. She was waiting for her white-furred wolf-nin, named Hikaru, to regroup with them and begin their mission. Their male best friends, Akemi and Kyouhei, were sleeping high up under the dark shades of the branches of the enchanting tree.
Akemi is seventeen years old in human terms. He has short, messy, bronze hair with deep gold eyes, and his skin is even paler than Raven's and Miyuki's. Kyouhei is nineteen years old in human terms as well. He has shoulder-length black hair -with red highlights-, has grey-blue eyes, and his skin as pale as Akemi's.
No one knew who they were, or where they had come from. Villagers say they're travelers on a journey. Others say they're spies from another village. Who knows, maybe they were right, maybe they were wrong. But one thing they will never know was that these four teenagers had a secret. They were each a mystical being...that each had their own power...that no one else would ever have.
