The Heavenly Maidens Wed Dec 26, 2012 6:57:13 PM#271846Perm Link
“Those that are pure in spirit, status, and in name… Shall live forever.
Embodied by the loviest of the world, you carry the grace of the Gods and hope for humanity in your hearts. You are a Kodama.”
The scared Sakura tree which holds the passion and love for all lovers, a symbol of chastity and elegance, and a powerful goddess among the Heavens and Earth. She lives forever as long as she stays true to her oath. Once she was, like all other Kodamas, a human, and by diving judgment was she chosen to become a goddess. And along with her maidens, she protects the world with kindness.
Maidens:
Plum Maiden
Apple Maiden
Flower Maiden
Lily Maiden
Animal Maiden
Side by side, these maidens protected rural society and Sakura. But they could not protect her forever. . .
Sakura hears a rustle in the leaves; she turns around concerned and stares into the dark overgrowth, “Kimi? Naku? Stop that now, you’re frightening me.!” She yells, swallowing a lump in her throat. She stumbles back into the small pond when the leaves rustle again the forest reveals, not the plum maiden or the animal maiden, but a tall built man. He stares at Kura, and then shamefully at the ground, “I’m sorry to have scared you mi’lady, but your beauty overthrew me and I could not move my feet. They stood on the ground till you called me out.” Kura moves forward, wanting to comfort the shamed man but she keeps her distance, ‘Thank you for your honesty, but no one is allowed on these mountains. Please leave.” He threw himself at her feet, and she blushed despite herself. He thanked her and left, but she called to him again. And soon his visits became frequent, and the Sakura Maiden’s heart began to flutter.
In four seasons her stomach began to swell and take shape, the heavens grew unsteady. The Sakura Maiden and betrayed her vow and her life would be the sacrifice.
But what of her child?
Now it is hundreds of years later, all of the maidens aswell have been sacrificed, willingly. To be reincarnated with Kura. But it is not her who is reborn, but her daughter. Half goddess and half human. How will they protect the world now?
( Well, the maidens are reincarnated and its about them concealing their powers in the modern world, but also the struggle they have getting close to Kura's daughter. Once they do get close to her, its their job to protect her from the Gods in heaven who don't want her to exist. I wasn't sure whether to incorporate demons or not.)
