July 7, 1413I am alone now. The Sacred Fire remains hidden deep below but for how long, I cannot say. The world has grown cold, darkness lurks everywhere and I am unsure of what it is I am supposed to do. Shinkirou has told me a frightening tale, one that ends with me as the victor but that relies on powers I do not possess. Be patient she has said. But for how long? And what "powers" am I supposed to have?
Wait a minute! Shinkirou? Was this a family diary? Seika shivered, the room suddenly very cold. That's odd, she thought. The thermostat read 70 degrees. She tapped it lightly and went into the kitchen to make some tea.
"Seika", came the whisper.
She whirled but no one was there. Still, there was something. Something. A presence? She shook her head and tried to laugh it away, a nervous laugh that even she didn't find convincing.
Tea in hand, Seika went back to her room, the blood red book lying just where she had left it.
September 25, 1413
It has been months since I have been able to write. Tomorrow night is the full moon and we are preparing to draw down her energy. My powers are coming slowly, but I can feel the magick rising in me every day. A witch, of all things. I was borne a witch, though I would have laughed at the idea not so long ago. I have not seen Shinkirou in days. She has told me to be brave but it is difficult. The others are kind to me, they protect me and instruct me, but I miss Shinkirou greatly. It is safer when she is here.
There is an evil here. A deep and dark evil that crawls the earth beneath us. It calls to us in our dreams and already we have lost three to its wiles. It has possessed the villagers and the town masters spend their waking moments searching for me. The others tell me I am to be their protector. The "One" to... someone is coming! Shinkirou, where are you?!
