Thread: Hopeless (ArclightX x Shards)

Ava Grant was a very powerful and special miko. She had been found by the most powerful miko known. She was very young when she was found by her mentor. At the age of five she was taken away from her family and taken to a shrine to be taught the way of a miko. She had all the powers equal to a fully trained miko without the control. She was too young to control them all, this was why she had been taken away before a dark miko found her. As she was taught the way to use her powers for good they grew on a grand scale. By the time she was at the age of sixteen she had become more powerful than her mentor. Though she still didn't act like a miko for she was a very spirited girl and it was something that she couldn't seemed to keep still. The fact that her beauty was great as well didn't help her. As she had such lusious black silky hair with deep green eyes that attracted many young men to her. She wasn't one to really push them away when it came to being a romantic. She had started to see one of the young men that lived near the shrine. She had kept it a secret for the most part though it hadn't taken her mentor long to find out about it. Her mentor then thought it best if she started to travel around the lands to maybe cool her heart from seeking things which she couldn't have. Though as Ava traveled he still loved the young man that she had fallen in love with back at the shrine. Though when it finally came time for her to return the young man was already married and had a young one on the way. He had fallen out of love with Ava and found another. Ever since Ava had turned cold towards love. She only showed it to those she treated and saved never past that point. Now at the age of twenty one she was more beautiful than ever yet her heart was still closed off. As she traveled from town to town to help all those who called on her. Wither it be for her healing methods or to protect a town from a demon she did whatever she was called for. As she finished up at a town who had a very bad case of this new sickness that had been spreading everywhere she was trying to save a young boy who had this new sickness. He was very young and she didn't know what to do. All of the other treatments had failed and so far she could come up with nothing that saved the lives. As she tried her latest treatment that she had come up with she waited by his side trying to make sure he made it through the night. Though as the sun came up the boy was dead. Ava sighed as she stood and walked out of the small hut. She gave the news to the boys parents as she then walked away she had said that she would stay to give the boy a proper burial the family thanked her as she left leaving the family to morn. As she went to get the things ready for the young boy. She thought more about the sickness. She had noticed that its not something that went from person to person by touch or exchange of fluids or anything. She guessed it was really some type of new posion but she couldn't comfirm it just yet. As it near midday she had everything ready for the young boys death. The family brough the boys body to her as she placed it on a wood fire pit for he had to be set afire and his ashes would be spread at his families land. As she did the usual ritual as she set the boys body on fire she thought of how the boy had suffered. It was a slow sickness or poison she reminded herself. It took a full two months to kill though it was a very painful last week. By the time the boys body was fully turned to ashes. She gathered them up and placed them in a vile for the family to spread. As she started to leave the town it began to rain. She didn't know why the sudden rain showed up but it didn't make her feel that great. As she looked around in the woods she was far enough to have no choice but try and make it to the next town or make camp though as she was standing there making up her mind she felt something hit her in the arm. She looked and it was a dart. She looked around seeing nothing and knew that something wasn't right but before she knew it she was knocked out in the middle of the forest with it raining.
