The evening was pure, little sunlight filtered through the dense canopy of the ancient trees, casting a bright layer of honey like glow throughout her deep brown eyes, making them, as though having luminous brilliance.
Her seemingly scarlet hair shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, flowing like locks of fire down her shoulders. Her father's former sword in her right hand awaiting to be freed from its sheath, Mei lian had wished to become a soldier for as long as her memory could go. Following in her fathers footsteps were her initial ambitions.However, in ancient china women were prohibited from practising such acts, as they were seen as manly.
Her brother,Lian hua was known as a reowned swordsman throughout the country, The Lian noble family had been one of the country's founding pillars known widely for their exquisite expertise in swordsmanship.
In each generation, without exception the strongest had become the heir.

On her way to her habitual training she sensed a rather strange presence.She mumbled under her breath "what was that?".Her eyes widened as she witnessed a rather intriguing but malicious creature.With eyes like molten gold and a voice that dripped with atrocities, it was indubitably a demon.
Her mother often shared stories about demons being a helping hand to humans but Mei Lian could sense that this demon was in no way similar to what the stories stated.
