The Sorceress of Jurai Prologue Author: The SoJ E-mail: tenchigirl@msn.com "Kaima! Kaima! Where are you?" shouted a longhaired priestess. Her red hair flew out behind her as she ran down the empty halls. She could see someone up ahead. It was another priestess. "Kaima, I just found the Lady! She's, she's." the first priestess struggled to say. Kaima put her hand on her shoulder. "I know Ninamo, she's dead," said Kaima softly. Ninamo burst into tears. Kaima hugged her tightly. "Now, now. We can't have any of that. You know why she's dead. We must find where the new one is," Kaima scolded. "I know where she is. Her Ladyship told me right before she died. She's on earth," sobbed Ninamo. Kaima's eyes widened. "Earth? Isn't that where Yosho was said to be seen?" asked Kaima. "Yes rumor has it she's his granddaughter," replied Ninamo. "Well then she shouldn't be to hard to find. Let's go," said Kaima, even though she was halfway out the door. *********************************************************** The two priestess's arrived on earth a few days later. As they landed their small ship on a little lake, an old man holding a baby girl came out of a nearby house. "So you're alive Yosho! Do you have everything ready for the new Sorceress?" asked Kaima. Yosho nodded. "You know, I don't really like this. She's my only granddaughter, and once you take her and cast your spell, no one will remember she's alive," said Yosho. "You will know. And so will everyone with Jurai blood in his or her veins. Your daughter and grandson will both remember her," said Ninamo. "My grandson? Ha! The boy isn't even a week old!" said Yosho. He kissed the sleeping baby and reluctantly handed her over to Ninamo. "Farewell, Keimosari" he whispered. Kaima pulled a green jewel out of her pocket and muttered strange words over it. A light brighter than the sun shot out of the jewel for almost a millionth of a second. And all knowledge of Keimosari, the new Sorceress of Jurai, was wiped from the earthlings' minds and hearts.
