Introduction

For as long as anyone can remember, Legend has stated that any time one of the four great nations found itself in peril, a girl would appear. This girl, called forth from another world, would serve as the Miko for that country’s Guardian God. Her task was to gather the seven Seishi, and together with them summon that God and make a wish that would save the country. Over the centuries, many Miko have come and rescued the people from certain destruction. For that reason, the Miko and her Seishi are widely respected, whenever they appear.
After the Miko is successful in summoning her God, and her wish is granted, she is said to return home and her seishi and the People of that country continue to live their lives, passing along her heroic story until it slowly melds with the preexisting legends of Miko past. Legend does not tell the darker side of this story…
The Miko does return home to her own world, but she is unaware of the price she has paid for saving a country and summoning a God. In exchange for granting the wish of the Miko, the God begins to slowly devour the girl until, at last, no trace of her existence remains in her world. No one remembers her, and there is nothing to show there was ever even someone to forget. There is nothing left of her in either world, save for the legends passed down through the ages…
At least, it was thought that there was nothing left of past Miko. Unbeknown to all, including the Gods themselves, bits and pieces of these poor girls’ existences have remained within the ’Universe of the four Gods’. Alone, there was nothing of any real substance, but over the ages these pieces have drifted, seeking out the others who, like them, are nothing more than fragments of a soul who was tricked into giving everything for nothing.
As their collective presence grew, so did their power and anger toward the Four Gods. Calling themselves the Four Fiends, they were eventually able to meld into four individual entities, each able to mirror the powers of the guardian God that devoured them. Still, their strength was not enough. They needed a physical form in order to physically manifest their powers. Unable to possess Seishi, they each sought out some other suitable human to serve as their vessel. With these new, human forms, they would finally be able to exact their revenge upon the Four Gods who devoured them.
With the world within ’The Universe of the Four Gods’ once again in danger, the Miko were summoned to gather the seishi and save everyone. For the first time, all four Miko have been summoned at once, and are expected to work together for the safety of the world. But the four nations have feuded with one another for as long as anyone can recall, and old grudges often die hard. Can those of the four nations learn to work together, or will they be too busy fighting one another to stop the Four Fiends before it is too late? And what of the Miko that have been summoned? Will they share the same face as their predecessors, or will the tragic cycle finally be broken?
