The snow falls making the temple of Mt. Fuji pure white. The emperor of the poor country below stands upon the front doors. His cold black eyes, daunting, and dark with impatience, waiting to speak with the priestess of the mountain. She is said to have great powers of purification. Also protecting a cursed blade of the gods, given by Daibosatsu the god of punishing himself. Once the emperor heard about it he was instantly overcome with greed. Wanting the sword and to kill Tsubaki, he worked his servants to the bone, finally granted permission by the Celestial Dragon that lives to protect the temple and the priestess Tsubaki.
Finally, the door slides open, a tall but skinny young adult boy wearing baggy clothes with different colored eyes one black the other a dim amber color. " Lets make this quick, Tsubaki has grown very ill and needs her rest." the man coldly says, waiting for him to follow. They walk through hallways and corners only to lead to a room, the room is large but half empty,the ceiling looks as it's been torn apart . A sword with a dark aura wrapped in golden silk, hanging from the ceiling. A not-so-tall woman on her knees, praying at a little shrine behind the sword. From behind she looked to be an angel with no wings but with white hair. " Welcome Emperor Xerxes, to the temple of Daibosatsu." she says looking behind her shoulder hearing the feet of the great Xerxes, her amber eyes are calm and kind with faint bags under them. She then stands faces him and bows softly saying " I'm sorry if my brother was harmful in any ways, he does not take kindly to strangers from down below. Why would you risk coming here? If you wanted to talk the dragon will surely let you trade letters with me." " Im here to negotiate" He speaks coldly. " I want to wield the blade of the god of punishment so please as your emperor give me it." Tsubaki squints her eyes towards the selfish man, there kind look turns dark. " No, only the god of this temple can wield it. Your soul would slowly fade into the world of the shinigami." Tsubaki said calmly then shouts to her brother . " Kota will you please escort him out!" As quickly the visit ended, the emperor throws his hidden dagger, stabbing Tsubaki in the stomach, her already dieing body falling to the ground, he then grabbed the sword and runs through the labyrinth of hallways . It was too late as Kota comes in, dropping her medicine he runs toward Tsubaki's body crying out and slowly taking out the black dagger.
Down in a hidden cave, the frozen waterfall splits in half by an angry red dragon. It instantly felt rage as it feels its master slowly die, he even felt the sharp pain of the dull dagger enter her skin. In the empty night sky, including the snow and cloud, the celestial dragon fly's to the top of the mountain, his body covered in his bright blue flames and calling to his god.
Hearing the dragons roar the emperor runs with the sword clenched in his hands pulling at the silk he reaches the last hallway outside. The staircase greets him as he sprints down the mountain side, as blue flames cover the mountain the dragon spots the killer of Tsubaki, going in for the kill. The dragon's flames finally block his path in the moment when he was about to escape before he could even blink, the guardian of the mountain appears in front of him knowing what's going to happen. The blade grows heavy as the final silk knot releases. An black mass comes from the sword swallowing the body and cries of the emperor, pulling him into the shinigami's realm of darkness including the sword.
Tsubaki's body grows cold and limp in Kota's arms. On her final breath she says " Kota.....please promise me that....you will protect the temple.... I....I...will always love..you." Her body by the spirit of the mountain turns into billions of fireflies, spreading across the sky the bright lights now shine with the moon.
Keeping his promise Kota now serves under the god of the mountain, still being protected by the celestial dragon. On one night every 75 years the dragon, on that day he flies across the sky around Earth. Soon to be discovered as Halley's comet.
