prologue

He walked his lands guarding his people, people who would betray him and lead to his death eventually, but then no one is to blame for anything bad that happens. It is eventually the string of predestination that holds everything. Life is so singular! everything happens the way it is meant to happen and its almost impossible to even imagine the course of events if even a point in life was to happen in some other way.

The great honourable ruler inutashio surveyed the borders of his territory. No one dared to make a mockery of the protection he offered in his rule. In two days, he would reach his castle. This particular thought graced his handsome countenance with a rare smile. It was time for his heir to open his eyes and step into the world, he would meet him 2 days later but then duties came first for him. He was unaware that he would be honoured by the presence of two most powerful creatures to exist in his own castle. One, his son the most powerful demon of all times and the other the most powerful priestess to ever walk the earth.

He wanted to meet his newborn son at the earliest so he decided to take a stride to his castle. He transformed into a giant dog and took to the skies. from up above the land he saw a castle on fire, it was a human castle and it was allied to was surprised to find that the village was perfectly intact and only the castle was on fire. He was told that it was the ruler who set the castle to fire to burn his lady and his newborn daughter to death. The daughter of the lord seemed to posses demonic powers which monks and priestesses in the whole village had sensed. they had tried to exorcise the baby and the castle but the baby seemed to posses spiritual powers that surpassed the power of all the monks in the castle hence the lord decided that the lady had betrayed him and it could not be his child. he declared the castle to be burnt with the lady and her daughter alive.

"A helpless lady and an infant will not b treated as such under my rule" he told the ruler with venom in his voice and moved inside the castle swiftly. he felt a strong demonic aura accompanied by a strange tickling sensation on his skin. Spiritual power! how could a demonic aura contain spiritual power! so the villagers were indeed saying the truth. As he approached the baby he realised that it was not a demon it was a mage with elemental powers and a rare one her power had been mistaken for a demonic aura. Thats why fire couldn't hurt her but unfortunately the lady was nowhere to be seen and so the lord of the western lands decided to take care of the powerful priestess at his own castle.
He picked up the baby girl, her beauty was unearthly she opened her maroon eyes and looked at the mighty ruler with an intelligent gaze. She was special and she would make a good playmate for his son. with these thoughts the great inu tashio headed towards his castle. little did he know that the girl wasn't just his son's playmate, she was his soulmate that was why they were born on the same day, even their souls could not bear to stay apart. they were meant to be together for eternity but their fate on earth had been predestined. Their love would be put to test.
