In outer space, a meteor drifts aimlessly across the cosmos. Its form slowly shifts and changes, as the meteor takes in the surrounding energy. The spaceborne meteor begins to move faster and faster, as if drawn to something. Suddenly, a powerful force propels the meteorite forward, and the meteor grows closer and closer to the ground, rapidly approaching the earth's surface. sending it on a collision course with the ground. With a sickening crash, it slams into the ground, sending debris and destruction in every direction. The meteorite, now in pieces, lies scattered across the landscape. The primal energy that once surrounded the meteor is now released, spilling out into the surrounding area .

As it enters the atmosphere, the meteor grows hotter and hotter, burning through the air with unimaginable heat. The meteor enters into a freefall, crashing into the earth with a devastating impact. The heat is so intense that the environment itself begins to change. The once-green forests and lush vegetation becomes blackened and barren, as the intense heat scorches everything in its path. The climate also shifts, becoming drier and more arid.

The dinosaurs and other species were not lucky enough to escape the disaster. Many of them were caught in the fiery destruction and died slow, excruciating deaths. Their skin burned and melted away, revealing their bones and internal organs. Their bodies were burned to a crisp, their bones and remains left behind in the aftermath of the catastrophe. For those who were not instantly killed, the pain and agony of their burning and melting bodies was excruciatingly horrible, as they slowly died in pain and fear. The entire landscape, once vibrant and full of life, is now burned and destroyed. The creatures that once flourished in the land have been wiped out, their bodies lying scattered around the land. The environment itself has been completely changed, being reduced to a barren wasteland of ash and debris. The meteor impact has left a mark that will never be forgotten, and the effects of it will be felt for centuries to come.



900BC - 250AD

YAYOI PERIOD; JAPAN - YAMATO PERIOD

The cosmic energy flows around the meteor fragments, under the interior of earth, a powerful transformation begins to take shape. The cosmic energy coalesces, taking on a spiritual, catlike form. The cosmic cat grows and develops, becoming more elaborate and detailed. Its body transforms from pure cosmic energy into a physical form, a combination of feline and demonic. The cosmic cat becomes a sentient being, and thus, a new entity lurks.

The demon overtime, shifted into something more humanlike as it began to wake up from its long hibernation.


TIME SKIP-

A series of panicked breath and screaming rang through the entire kingdom, disturbing most of the middle classmen to their sleep.

It was in the middle of the night when the meteor shower was coincidentally happening.

「助けて!悪魔!悪魔が私から盗んだ!!」- A DEMON STOLE!

「君の首を容赦なく見せてやるぞ!」 - NO MERCY FOR YOUR HEAD.

The children ran to capture a helpless demon who ran for safety, holding a tassel on their hand.

"ヘッド!" - HEAD!

The demon's running came to a stop as soon as she saw a cliff towards her. One boy jumped to get her but she managed to dodge away, the grubby hands of the little child fingers tore through the delicate silk with ease, creating jagged tears in both the plain and twill weaves. Strands of the once smooth and lustrous fabric now hung loose and tangled.

The child stood before her, clearly furious, his hands clutching the delicate fabric of her ripped clothing. The silk was woven in alternating patterns of plain and twill, creating a textured, almost dance-like effect, it glimmered under the night.


She continue to run as fast she can but when she felt she was no longer touching land anymore, the sound of her screams filled the air, echoed by the rushing wind and the sharp crack of bones as she hit the cliff. The distant roar of the sea below added to the chaos as she continued her terrifying descent.

The wind rushed past her ears, drowning out all other sound. As she fell, she could hear distant echoes of waves crashing against the cliffs and the distant cry of seagulls.The sound of her screams and the rush of the wind filled her ears, drowning out any other noise as she hurtled towards the unforgiving waves of the water.


The night gleamed before her, her eyes trying to make out anything she can

before everything is dark.


MODERN PERIOD:

"Hey, even if you're constanly working so hard don't die yet.."

The blondie's eyes grew in worry, just seeing the red-eyed female's tired eyes.

"They're supposed to bring good luck, you know," her friend said, popping another sea grape into her mouth. She chewed thoughtfully before swallowing, her expression turning serious. "We're going to need all the luck we can get on this, and if i don't make it you have to atleast get it."

"Hey, don't eat with your mouth full!" the ravenette yelled playfully, "I'm still healthy so don't worry about me, i'm a princess. Just look at you."

"It's true though," the other pouts. "You can easily travel here since you are Japanese, and you have very good authority while i need to figure how to get a job here."

"Hey, even though i'm that powerful, i couldn't beat you just yet, you're a siren and i don't want to cause a ruckus to humans after all. So don't be dismayed yet, we'll both make this through together.

Her friend nodded, understanding the weight of the task. As she looked at her friend, a surge of determination coursed through her veins. She knew that failure was not an option - not when they've worked hard to reach Japan.

Taking a deep breath, she reached for a sea grape and bit into it, savoring the burst of briny flavor. The salty taste mixed with the tang of uncertainty in the air, creating a strange but oddly comforting combination. Swallowing the sea grape, she locked eyes with her friend and made a silent vow to see this through to the end.

"Eat more," she push the plate to the other.

They continue to eat before silently leaving out, and the night falls,


"Tonight is supposed to be Meteor Shower," she murmured to her friend.

"Woah~ Really? Should we make a wish?" the blonde said in enthusiasm.

"Oh sure, let's make a wi-" the phone rang loud enough for her to put in silent mode. "Oh, sorry i need to answer this. Let's make it later okay?" she ran somewhere else, near a lake.

"Hello, we're happy you've contacted us, are you able to plan next week for your goals in this company?" the voice over the phone asked. "Huh? i couldn't hear you? sorry?"

the voice repeated, but it turned blotchy. "Hold on , my connection is not the best at the moment. May you repeat once again?" she turned her phone up before it slipped from her palms, falling into the lake. She can hear her friend calling out her name.


"Oh! No!" she kneeled beside, trying to see where the phone is, as it was dark out and the lake is not very clear.


Before she knew it, she was pulled into the lake.
