Gensokyo… an illusion world where the impossible is possible, a separate world cut off from that of Earth. And, in this world where anything is possible, order is kept by a lone house of shrine maidens.
Hakurei Reimu. The last living member of the Hakurei family, and the guardian of the border between Gensokyo and Earth. Her spellcard system allowed the troublesome youkai who lived there a chance at causing incidents - but also made those incidents able to be stopped more easily.
However, this failed to calculate in what would happen if there was no one to stop it…

Prologue: Bunbunmaru Shinbun vol.1
Shameimaru Aya sighed, plopping down in her chair. It had been a hectic day, flying everywhere to get the latest scoop. While she had managed to snap a few pictures, they weren't enough to really write a good story off of, and the newspaper should be going out tomorrow…
She sighed, looking around. Momiji was nowhere to be found… again. Aya hadn't seen her in a few days, and it wasn't like her to just up and disappear. Something felt off…
The crow tengu shot up, sensing it now. The strange feeling had nothing to do with Momiji. Something was approaching, and fast… A strong power, one that could even surpass her own…
There was a flash of blue, and she fount herself wondering just what had gotten her all riled up. The newspaper was due tomorrow… and if she didn't complete it… Hakurei would…
Aya shuddered, no longer sensing anything. She didn't want to think about the consequences if she couldn't get enough people to buy the newspaper…
The blue light swept over Gensokyo, and this trend continued. The sudden burst of fear as they felt an overwhelming power… and then, the next moment, nothing.
As the light dissipated, Gensokyo wasn't the same anymore…
And not one person knew it had changed.
(A.N. A very short prologue, but I wanted to show only that the world was different now. Aya's camera will become an important plot device in the future, and I wanted to make that clear, but it didn't come across so well. Maybe I'm a bit rusty.)
