Princess Reiko Kuroyama of the Suijima Kingdom was in the bamboo forest near the castle she grew up in. Once again, she was abandoning her lady-like studies to be the perfect subservient princess, and was instead, training with a wooden sword. Ever since she was twelve years old, she wanted to be able to defend herself and go on her own adventures. She never wanted to be a perfect princess who would marry to some awful, self-centered, spoiled, and rotten Prince who would only want her for her body. She trained in secret for many years, imagining her target bamboo as assassins and other enemies that would try and take her life from her. She recalled many of the moves the guards, knights, and samurai used in their fighting and tried to copy those moves successfully. Sometimes while she was training, memories would come back to her. This time, she remembered when she learned about Draken, the God of Creation, when she was a little girl. She could remember how she chattered on about wanting to meet the God. Of course, that was when she was a naive child. She was pretty sure that the dragon god probably had his own responsibilities to take care of, so of course he wouldn't take the time to meet a whiny little princess. 

She snapped out of her training and her daze, at the sound of something rustling the bamboo nearby. She took out her real sword, and she turned quickly and pointed it at the source when they were close enough. The person yelped in fear, and Reiko sighed as she sheathed her sword "Oh, Shara! You startled me!" 
The maid, Shara, the only servant in the castle that knew about Reiko's secret training ground, yelped in fear and disbelief "I startled YOU?! I should be saying that!" 
Reiko chuckled at Shara's reaction and she said to her "Calm down Shara. It was just a joke," 
Shara sighed and said "Well, it wasn't particularly funny!"
Reiko smiled and said "It was to me!" Reiko calmed down soon enough and she asked "So, why are you here Shara? Are my parents searching for me again?"
Shara answered "Yes, My Lady. Your parents want you to come back for your studies," 
Reiko groaned and shook her head with a hand on her face. She really didn't want to go back to those studies.

Guir, the God of Darkness and Hell, was sitting in the throne that he had taken from Draken, his brother and the God of Creation. He laid back in his seat, getting very comfortable. He was finally out of Hell, and he had to say that the Heavens were much better than that dump! He drank from a goblet filled with red wine, ignoring the pleas of the imprisoned gods that used to live here. Now, demons and other dark beings rule the Heavens. Everything was almost perfect, except for the fact that his brother had escaped imprisonment and was now somewhere on Earth. But thankfully, he sent the demons to find his brother and bring him back to his prison. Guir of course, was considering whether he should kill his dear brother or whether he should torture him.

Soon one of his demon lackeys came up and bowed before him, before saying "My Lor-er, Your Highness, we found your brother," 
Guir raised an eyebrow and he asked sinisterly "Oh really? Then why isn't brother dear kneeling before me?"
The little imp like demon shook in anxiety as he answered "Well-That is to say-er…"
Guir grew irritated at the imp's stuttering and he shouted, his voice booming and echoing across the Heavens "Well?! SPIT IT OUT!"
The imp jumped and answered "He's in the Suijima Kingdom!"
Guir nodded in understanding. The Suijima Kingdom was protected from demons, so of course they wouldn't be able to enter. He smirked and said "Ah. I see. You need me to open the Suijima Kingdom for you, is that right?" 
After the demon nodded, Guir raised his hand towards one of the Gods in their prison and power flooded from the God to Guir. They screamed in pain before falling unconscious. Guir then used that power to get rid of the invisible barrier that surrounded the Suijima Kingdom. He then said "There. Now, go!" The imp obeyed and hurried off just as Guir took his seat once again.
