Prologue

The silence of the night was shattered by the racing steps of a demoness. She panted as she pushed her body far beyond its limits. She had been sprinting for five days straight; she didn't stop for anything or anyone. Her legs and lungs burned with exhaustion as she continued to strain her body. She couldn't stop now or else it all would end. She kept on running as she left the forest and entered a desert. The sand was slowing her down. She finally managed to run through it but she still wasn't fast enough. She continued into the early hours of morning. The sun began to rise over the sand dunes as she passed the half way mark, an oasis with a small hut by it. She wanted to rehydrate and rest there but she didn't. It would cost her valuable time and she didn't have any time to waste.

It had taken her two days to get through the desert. Now, she's only half a day away from her destination. She sprinted through the wooded area, dodging trees and such. If you were to see her, all you would see was a black blur. She panted heavily as she entered a very large clearing. All that could be heard now were her heavy pants and the crunch of grass under her black combat boots. Her black trench coat flapped wildly behind her as her destination came into sight. Her velvet black eyes turned a shade of crimson for one moment as she passed through the barrier.

She stopped running for she knew she was safe now. She turned and looked as the barrier deflected her attacker. She watched as he stood, yelled in anger and left. She collapsed onto the ground from pure exhaustion. She closed her eyes as she regained her breath. After a moment, she stood and walked towards the old well. She stood in front of it a moment. She clutched the round ball around her neck. The ball glowed then vanished into her body. She stepped onto the brim and looked into the black abyss below her. She took a deep breath and jumped. The magic of the well surrounded her and transported her ten thousand years in the past.
