Part 1
Five hundred years later
Dao Ming of the Healing clan is out searching for a very rare herb known to have great healing powers that appears every twenty years. As the most promising of the temple students she was chosen by the high priest to wield the Phoenix gem and was often given tasks separate her peers.
   Entering the temple gates
The silence lay oppressive over the grounds as Dao Ming entered the gates.
   "Song! Li!" she called in vain for her friends. She noticed a coppery scent in the air and dread filled her heart. The young healer opened the door to the temple and froze.
    Carnage was everywhere. Blood stained the walls and corpses littered the ground, telling the story of what had happened. They hadn't gone down without a fight -monsters corpses wee mixed in with human-but a temple of healers was not made for fighting. Some had been pacifists.
   It was an atrocity Dao Ming could barely comprehend, even as she searched desperately for survivors.
   She stopped at the doors to the creche where the youngest of the children sent to the temple lived. When her own family had decided they could not provide for two young girls and she'd been sent to one temple and her cousin another, she'd been too old for the creche.
She didn't want to open the doors. She didn't want to see evidence of fifteen slain toddlers and babies. It looked as though most of those trained in fighting had headed to protect the children, and died as they did so. Slowly, she opened the door, shocked at the sight within.
"Li!"
Her friend stood there, sword in hand and half his face burnt.
"Dao Ming!"
"What happened?"
   Voice shaking with rage, he explained how they'd been attacked out of no where, the students herded to the creche. Everyone capable of wielding a weapon had been armed and given one simple instruction: protect the children. They'd succeeded.
The bodies piled high outside the door, defenders within had died as well, but the children  survived.
"We're taking them to the farmstead, but someone needs to send a warning out. There was a man with them... he was looking for the Phoenix Gem. When he couldn't sense it here he said something about the other temples," Li said.
Dao Ming went white, hand instinctively gone to the pearl around her throat. "Soo Jin." She whispered.
"Go. Now. I'll tell them you went to warn the other temples. We'll get the kids away from here. Find us later." Li said.
She ran.
***
    Soo Jin stood poised her weapon in her hand. She was sent out of the village with a few of her comrades to kill a pack of wolves that threatened weary travelers.
    "Rei! Yoshi! Get into position!"
    The wolves snarled at the three young samurais. "Soo Jin we're surrounded." Yoshi the younger of the three said concerned.
     "Don't let your guard down Yoshi." Soo Jin whispered to her. The girl was barely fifteen she really wasn't cut out to be a samurai. "Hey didn't the priest give you the ruby?" Rei asked.
   Soo Jin glanced down at her left hand where a ruby ring was placed on her finger. "Don't tell me you believe that story Rei? Besides it would be a waste of time just to kill a bunch of wolves."
   "Ahhh!" Yoshi screamed as the lead wolf circling them attacked. She fumbled with her sword as the sword slipped from her sweaty palms.
"Yoshi!" Soo Jin yelled as she gripped her sword and attacked the wolf chopping its head off. The wolves backed down. "Can we go back to the village now?" Yoshi pleaded.
   Rei picked up the gil left by the wolves. "I think we should head back to the village." Rei agreed. Soo Jin looked at the clearing they stood at it had gotten awfully quiet. Not even the twitter of birds.
"Something's not right here." She said.
The three headed back to the village. They hadn't quite made it there before acrid smoke bit their noses.
"A fie?" Yoshi yelped.
  "Calm down." Rei urged "It's probably just a campfire."
   Soo JIn said nothing, though worry ate at her heart as the scent got stronger the closer they got to the village.     "We can grab one of the hunters after we drop you off at the infirmary. With that many wolves they really shouldn't have assigned a trainee." Rei said.
   "I'm not helpless Rei." Yoshi looked down in embarrassment
"We don't think your helpless" murmured Soo Jin, "We just think this was outside your training and experience."
  "By fifteen you had already killed that dragon."
"Well, it was rather weak as dragons go, and I had alot of help. Come on, we've been out in the woods for two weeks hunting these things. You're wounded and exhausted- don't beat yourself over this."
The three moved on towards the village the smell of smoke grew stronger. The sight of the town could be seen flames burned the roofs of houses. "What on Gaia?" Rei said shocked.
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Yoshi shouted over and over again. Not believing what she was seeing tears rolled down her face like a gush of water flowing from a fountain.
Soo Jin could not believe her eyes either. She turned to her friends "Will you two get a hold of yourselves! Come on lets go and see if there are any survivors."
    As the three moved through the flaming town carcasses of monsters and people lay strewn across the streets. Nobody said anything as they inspected the bodies. "Soo Jin look out!" Yoshi yelled as a thought to be dead monster rose up from where it lay. Soo Jin turned to see the monster suddenly the head was cut off. Soo Jin looked around bewildered she hadn't killed the monster then who did?
"Soo Jin!" Dao Ming shouted as she finally arrived at the Samurai village only to find it in ruin like her own village.
"Dao Ming what are you doing here?"
"Soo Jin do you have the ruby?"
"Yes, what's this all about?"
"I can't really say, but someone is after the sacred jewels. They have already destroyed my village and from the look of it they've already been here."
"We need to give them a proper burial first."
"Soo Jin there's no time for that the other temples are in trouble."
"She's right Soo Jin don't worry Yoshi and I will make sure they get a proper burial." Rei said.
Soo Jin sighed to herself she knew of course it was her job to go with Dao Ming to warn the other temples. She turned and looked at Rei and Yoshi, and the ruins of her village.
"Soo JIn don't worry we'll make sure they get a proper burial then we will make plans to rebuild our home." Rei said. Yoshi nodded in agreement.
"Help!" A hoarse voice cried out from somewhere in the ruins.
   The four of them came across an injured samurai who was being attacked by a grendel. "Rei! Yoshi! get him out of the way!!"
    Soo Jin and Dao Ming got in front of the grendel and behind the injured samurai who was taken out of harms way by Rei and Yoshi. Soo Jin used her sword to avoid the attacks from the grendel. Dao Ming used he fan slicing off the sharp tail. The grendel moved with such speed and strength knocking Soo Jin down she placed her sword at its neck as it snapped and clawed at her.
"Soo Jin!" Dao Ming cried out ready to attack the grendel. A red flash appeared from between Soo JIn and the grendel. Dao Ming watched in astonishment as the grendel was lifted off Soo Jin by a huge demon. The demon was the largest demon they ever seen thus far. The demon was high in the air above them with the grendel. The grendel fell to the ground below as the demon created a large fireball striking the grendel turning it to ashes before disappearing.
"Soo JIn are you alright?" Dao Ming asked as she inspected her wounds before digging through her pouch for a potion. Dao Ming helped her up and they went to where the others waited. "That was incredible!" Rei and Yoshi said together.
  "So that was Ifrit wasn't it? So, the legends are true the gem in one of the legendary fourteen gems that bring great power. Rossima wanted those jewels for himself and now...." the samurai said to himself.
Dao Ming inspected his cuts and other torn body parts the samurai was lucky to be alive his left eye was scratched badly his skin was badly burnt. She dung through her pouch and found an X-potion forcing him to drink it.
The samurai healed almost instantly "Thank you. Soo Jin protect the gem with your life."
   "What happened here?" Yoshi asked.
"We were attacked out of no where from above. A man insisted we hand over the jewel and when we refused well, he destroyed everything."
"You look familiar aren't  you the son of  the high priest? Rei asked.
"That's correct Rei I am Ryu my job was to keep the jewel safe in the temple. That is until father gave it to Soo Jin now my job was to protect the rest of our secrets. But, there's nothing left five hundred years worth of history gone."
"Take care of him." Soo Jin said to the two female samurais "Come on Dao Ming we need to get to the next village."
