---------

It was an average day for Therru. But, something was off. A dreadful waft of air blew through the village. To those who breathed it in, felt as if their lungs were being burned by acid. But, it went away as fast as it came. Therru wasn't in the village at the time, though. She was out in the corn fields, farming, as usual. She wiped a bead of sweat from her brow, and then continued to hold the basket of corn in one arm and pick corn with the other.

She wore simple clothing. A plain dark pink jumper, a long sleeved pink shirt under it, as well as a white apron in the front, and some pants and poofy boots underneath. Nothing special, just plain peasant cloths. She didn't care though. Out here, it wasn't as if anything would happen. Though, that was wrong.

The day quickly turned into night, making twinkling stars illuminat the sky. Therru ran through the street, away from the demon-looking creatures that chased her. She had merely come in to find a book, only to watch as villagers turned into these beasts. Her heart sped quickly as she ran out of the village, not stopping for a moment. It was all like a blur. She ran inside her small house, locking the doors and windows.

The ring on her right hand jiggled. As if it was shaking. Therru stared at it, lifting her hand to her face as she sat in the corner of the living room. She raised her other hand, and touched the ring with the tip of her index finger.

Suddenly, she was in another world. The sky was black, but the ground was a grayish-white. Almost like the moon. One of the other supernatural characteristics was the giant version of her ring that floated above her. "Wh-what?" She questioned and took a step back.

"Do you wish to make a contract with me?" It spoke in a feminine voice.

Therru looked up at it, realizing it was a larger version of the ring on her hand, except it's eyes glowed. "Wha-What?" She took a step back.

"It seems you don't know." Her ring sighed. "I am a Madou Ring. I stand beside you through a contract. That's because you are a Makai Knight."

"A Makai Knight?" She took another step back in fright. "What the hell is that?"

"A Makai Knight is someone who battles and kills Horrors, like the ones who attacked you."

Therru didn't say anything.

"There are no such thing as female Makai Knights, though. If you were to make a contract with me, you would be the first."

"I have to kill?" She whispered.

"Yes. Horrors where once human, but once they turn, there is no going back."

"I don't want to kill!" She shouted.

"Would you rather watch them devour humans, kill them, kill innocent people? They will kill you once they find you."

Therru froze. "'Makai Knight', you say... I've heard of those. From my father, when I was little, now that I think about it. They-They are supposed to be fighters...but look at me! I'm a peasant girl who picks corn for a living! Do I look like I can kill a demon?!" She shook.

The Madou Ring didn't say anything. After a few moments it did, however. "You could learn."

Therru looked up.

"Self-education, I firmly believe, is the only kind of education there is."

Therru looked down. "...Yes. You say Horrors eat and kill humans, right? Well then, I guess I better get learning, yeah."

"Alright, remember, I am not a servant. I merely stand beside you through contact. For my power, you shall offer your life to me every new moon." Therru's finger burned slightly. "My name is Minerva (no, not Fairy Tail). I came to be when Koro came to be and I am forever with him."

The world came to fade, slowly. "Wait!" Therru shouted. "You'll help me, right? Guide me?"

"Of course, Therru." Minerva said as the world faded.

-----

Therru opened her eyes. Was that all a dream?

"Quickly, now!" Minerva said.

"What?" She asked with a shaken breath.

"The Horrors are approaching. Quickly, grab the sword that is over the fireplace! It is your power of a Makai Knight!"

Stomping could be heard faintly from outside. Therru quickly stood, tripping over her feet, but got up and ran to the fire. She reached up and grabbed her fathers sword. "What now?!" She shouted. "They're coming!"

"Unsheathe it. You will know what to do afterwards." Minerva said.

She held out the sword by one hand, on the sheath. Reluctantly, she grabbed the handle. "Father left this sword to me...." The demons ripped the front of the house down. "...and I will use it to slay you damn Horrors!" She unsheathed it, a glowing light following it as she whipped it over her head. The blade glowed brightly as she drew a circle over herself.

Silver armour, tinted with a deep, dark red and orange appeared on her. Her head was like a dragons. It had the teeth, the face, the horns. And her cape, it was split in two, somewhat forming something like wings. "A Makai Knight?" The Horrors shouted as she slashed her sword down on them.

Her Makai armour was shaped a but differently than a mans. It shaped her curves and her breasts. It was amazing. Therru breathed heavily from inside it, she was practically freaking out. She took a deep breath and the armour dissipated. "So that's...what being a Makai Knight feels like."
