It was a dark and eerie night, illuminated solely by the distorted light of the year's first eclipse. A heavy mist that blinded the eyes and hindered the senses rolled along the landscape of the hidden valley of Ishanari. Here, was where the lines of reality blurred, connecting the human and spirit worlds together.

Within the mist traveled a young half-demon girl who went by the name of Amaya. It'd been quite a while since she'd last traveled to the human world. She only hoped her human friends were alright. How long had she been away?

She smiled at the thought of how they'd react at her sudden appearance. How should she surprise them? They wouldn't have forgotten about her... Right?

Amaya was forced out of her thoughts as she felt a pull from one of the tendrils of mist that had wrapped around her arm. In this place, a loss of concentration and stray thoughts could lead to death. She again focused on getting through the mist, and it released her as she continued to move forward.

Soon she could make out the shadowy figures of other demons and half-demons wading through the mist. She held her hands out, "Akabara." A sword with a blood red blade forming in her grasp like a mirage. She held the sword close to herself, but ready to be used if one of the figures should attack or turn out to be a foe.

Before long, the mist thinned until she found herself standing at the edge of a small forest, the night air suddenly clear under the light of the eclipse. Glancing around she sensed no present danger. "Release." The sword disappeared in the same mirage like fashion in which it had materialized.
