"Brother take me with you!," the girl demanded of her elder brother. She was half efin and showed it. She had blue eyes and long, dark blue hair. She was wearing a plain white shift and around her neck hung a golden pendent that was shaped like a winged orb.
Her brother, however, had long red hair and bright green eyes. He wore a yellow tunic and tan pants. Around his neck hung an identical pendent.
"It would be too dangerous for you to come, Kayura," he simply said.
"Dangerous!" she spat the word like a curse, "I can defend myself as well as you can Anubis. I know how to fight. Besides I'd rather go with you than stay here."
"You know that you must stay with the clan until your seventeenth summer Kayura, and it's only your twelfth," Anubis explained patiently.
"But it's going to be so dull without you," Kayura complained.
"The Ancient One himself is directly related to us Kayura. You are a Lady of the Clan. If you, of all people, break the code, who knows what will happen. Stay here and learn the secrets that you will need someday. If you wait patiently for my return and your own journey, than I will bring you back something special," he promised.
"Alright," agreed Kayura. With that he gave her a hug and left.
Kayura kept her promise to the letter, but her peaceful life ended on her fifteenth name-day. A legion of demons attacked the clan. Kayura barely managed to escape, and soon discovered that she was the only survivor.
'I'm sorry Anubis, but there's no clan left to remain with,' she thought as she left the burnt remains of the village and began her quest to find her brother and seek her revenge.
