--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Present From the Gods
The day promised a change, one that will alter the lives of many individuals, some not even in this world. A figure cloaked in shadows remained still, ever vigilent with their meditation. The only source of light seen in the small room was two candles, nearly spent to it's last inch.
Suddenly a burst of sunlight penetraded throughout the whole room when one shaken individual pushed through the doors. "We need you," the man said, desperately. A pair of sharp brown eyes turned to stare at him with calculating gaze, he froze with fear, "please...lady...there is something...by the well that is most perflexing."
"Leave, I will be there shortly," commanded the female. The man bowed and ran off, uncomfortable in her prescense. The woman then turned back and continued with her activity. "I will try to prove helpful...I will protect this blessing as much to my abilities dear kami."

The Bone Eater's Well, an abandoned and nearly forgotten landmark in the village. It was ignored by the villagers when it no longer held water and lost it's purpose. Now, many years later the well is recognized again for it's omnious glow and aura.
Humans crowd the well in fear and curiosity all wondering what it was and why it was here. "Stand back!" Everyone turned to the owner of the voice whom they recognized as their miko, Midoriko. They awed at her strong presence and moved to make a pathway for her leading to the well.
The village was indeed very fortunate to have the help of this particular miko. She is known to be, by far, the strongest of the priestest known, in spirt and in power.
Upon reaching the well she turned to her right looking down at the hunched figure of the village elder. "When was this noticed?"
The old man looked up and squinted his eyes from the mid-day glare, "only this morning my lady," he reported.
"I want everyone to leave," she looked at the crowd and all followed her command. As soon as everyone was gone she turned her attention to the well and slowly approached it.
The well glowed of a bright purple and blue, she reached to touch the light and it sparked in the process, reacting to her touch as well as to her spiritual powers. Ignoring the sharp pain she focused on what is at hand, to break the barrier that sealed the well's occupant.
With another push the barrier shattered, looking down the dark depths of the well she smiled once she caught sight of her target.
With one swift movement she landed gracefully on the bottom. The miko knelt down and inspeted the bundled figure closer to her person. Gently removing the coverings she first noticed bright cerulean eyes that stared back at her. Once all coverings were removed she took in the infants features noting the pointed ears, although the infants was nearly bald the miko could see little fluffs of black soft hair.
The child coo'ed and grabbed the miko's finger with her tiny hands. Midoriko smiled, "You are beautiful," she whispered as she rocked the small figure back and forth. "The gods have given me a precious gift," the infant yawned. "I will take care of you child...my Kagome."
