Chapter 1: Waking Up
After a while I started to return to consciousness and noticed that I could hardly move. All I could see was darkness and I could feel a large amount of pressure confining me. After some time, I could feel the pressure pushing me somewhere when suddenly the darkness around me suddenly turned to a light so bright I thought I would go blind. The sudden and drastic change in my surroundings along with the extreme brightness surprised me so much that I let out a sound of protest to whoever decided to make a light that bright.
Ugyaaaaa!
When I heard my voice, I reopened my eyes in surprise only to be blinded again. After repeating the same actions for a few minutes my eyes started to get used to the bright light enough for me to see my surroundings. There were several people moving around and making so much noise that I thought my eardrums would rupture. While I was trying to get my bearings, I felt a floating sensation and realized I was being carried somewhere. When I looked up, I saw a lady with red hair and fox ears on the top of her head. The place she brought me to was a bed with another woman with black hair and tail. She looked quite exhausted and was breathing heavily but when she turned her face to me, she had a smile that was so warm, it could turn winter into spring.
The red-haired person placed me into the arms of the person I could only assume was my mother and her smile brightened even more. In the comforting embrace of my mother, I started to get drowsy. Before I fell asleep, I heard the red-haired lady ask a question to my mother.
Lady Amagi what will you name this child?
Her name will be Luna.
Once I heard that, I fell asleep again.
[Red-haired persons POV]
My name is Anastasia, an assistant shrine maiden at the shrine of the moon. My main job is to take care of the head shrine maiden, Lady Amagi. Today a great thing happened, Lady Amagi gave birth to her child. The child, named Luna, is quite adorable and I can tell she will grow into a beautiful person in the future. I can also tell that she is a special existence in this world. The reason I know this is due to one of the effects of my diviner class. Diviner is a rare class that lets someone get small glimpses into a possible future. This ability comes with a secondary effect of giving a very strong intuition. Once I laid eyes on Miss Luna my intuition told me that she will be the center of many major things to come. While holding Miss Luna in her arms Lady Amagi asks me,
What is wrong Ana, has your diviner skill shown you something?
No Lady Amagi, the skill hasnt shown me anything specific, but my intuition tells me that Miss Luna will have many difficulties in the future.
I see, then once she is ready, we will have to rigorously train her so that she can overcome these difficulties.
Certainly, my Lady.
Author's Note:
Here is the next chapter, I know it's really short but I'm writing this at 1:00 in the morning so its a bit difficult to concentrate. After reading the comments on the prologue I tried to fix the spacing problems I had so I hope that this is easier for all of you to read. While I can't make any definitive promises I will try to write a least two more chapters this weekend if time permits. I'm trying to improve my writing so any advice is always welcome.
