## Story - Dream

Kagura had that dream again. Once more, she ran alone into the mountain forests. Gloomy trees block her sight and make her heart beat fast, but she doesn't come to a halt.

"Kagura..." A familiar voice comes from ahead. Kagura looks towards the sound and sees her big sister Tokoyo standing under a tree, robed in a ray of moonlight.

"Sis!" Kagura shouts in her heart and runs towards her sister, but to her surprise, she misses her step and falls into a bottomless hole...

"No!" Kagura wakes from the nightmare and sits up on the bed. She breathes heavily for a while and then looks at the photo frame on the table beside the bed. In the yellowed photograph, she and her sister are holding hands, smiling. That year, Kagura was 6, while Tokoyo was 14.

Interrupted by a nightmare, Kagura was now wide awake. She pulled down her long hair and sat with her back against the wall, holding her curled legs in her arms.

15 years ago, Kagura was born into the Mitama Clan. In the bloodline test after birth, she echoed with the family's relic — the Exorcism Umbrella. This made her a focus of her clan as no one could wield this powerful umbrella for centuries. From that day on, the umbrella stayed with Kagura at all times and witnessed every trouble she made and all her joys and sorrows.

The clan placed great hopes on Kagura, but her family didn't push her too much. Instead, her family members gave her so much love, especially her sister Tokoyo.

Tokoyo was the young genius of the Mitama Clan. Before Kagura was born, the elders looked highly upon her and were expecting that it would be her who would command the Exorcism Umbrella. Tokoyo worked very hard to live up to the expectations and started practicing exorcism at the age of 5.

Tokoyo was revealed to be a talented exorcist very soon and became the youngest exorcist in the clan, but she wasn't satisfied with this. She tried many times to interact with the Exorcism Umbrella, but none of it worked. And then, Kagura was born...

Kagura's connection with the Exorcism Umbrella made her the top candidate for the next clan leader in the elders' eyes. It took away a lot of the attention that would have been focused on Tokoyo, but this was actually a relief for her. She never felt annoyed as she didn't want to bear the burden of the clan's expectations.

Tokoyo acted indifferent to others but was very soft and caring to her sister. To protect her younger sister, she worked even harder in training. Under the care of her sister and family, Kagura was getting stronger every day. Although she could interact with the Exorcism Umbrella, she still couldn't command it as she wanted.

On Kagura's 14th birthday, her clan members held a ceremony as was their custom, and that was the day when Qi led an army of Soul Eaters into the clan in an attempt to break the seal node here. The clan members fought resolutely with the invaders while Tokoyo protected Kagura who had no fighting experience.

The clan members, outnumbered and outmatched, couldn't repel the Soul Eaters and were killed one by one...

After killing everyone who stood in his way, Qi found out that the Exorcism Umbrella in Kagura's arms was just the core of the magic barrier. In Qi's eyes, Kagura and Tokoyo were just another two rats to kill. He had only one target — the umbrella. Kagura hid behind Tokoyo, grabbing her sister's sleeve in despair.

But Tokoyo only smiled at her little sister and said: "Don't be afraid, Kagura, you have your whole life ahead of you!"

After saying these last words, Tokoyo put her hands together and summoned an ancient enchantment.

Before Kagura realized what she was doing, Tokoyo launched the "Soul Sacrifice" spell. Her body exploded and turned into a golden light that shined in mid-air. When the light fell on Qi, it severely corroded the villain and drove him away.

Tokoyo's soul merged with the golden light, circling Kagura once and then disappearing into the Exorcism Umbrella. Kagura's face was bathed in tears, she felt her connection with the umbrella had grown stronger. She knew clearly Tokoyo was existing in the umbrella in another form and she would protect her as always.

Tracking the Soul Eaters, Yu Zhong, an Exorcist from The Association of Exorcists, showed up and saved Kagura from the remaining monsters. Kagura was taken back to the Association of Exorcists, and later, she became a trainee. Kagura renamed the Exorcism Umbrella "Reicho Kasa" and took it with her every day. She no longer ran away from her training as she used to do, because she knew that she needed to be stronger to avenge her clan and her beloved sister.

Kagura lay back in bed, waiting for the morning to come. She stayed awake... She didn't want to dream again.

It was always the same one.
