*Kent sliced another snake away within his fury of light blades. He had two, one for each hand. It was a custom for any and all of the winged beasts to carry such deadly weapons, and he was one of the haflings.*
"Man those snakes have been annoying. Must be spring season or something," he squirmed.
*Obviously the forest itself had no person, no demon, and no treachery. He was one of the bastard sons of his era, only partially of royal blood. His mother he never saw, but they said that she held great powers over the winds. He never saw that. He noticed how the snakes were more irregular than before. They had some strange markings on them, some of them.
With a single shard of the jewel of four souls, the one shard that was chipped off Kikyo's before she died, the one single extremely small shard from when the original jewel fell to the ground, he possessed more powers than he could have ever achieved in his lifetime. Yet it was not enough, he could onyl partially fire a perfectly sacred arrow. He could never reach perfection, a perfection he strived for one day.
He left that area, only to find a puppet on the way. The two locked eyes, and the evil (he knew it had to be evil) spoke.*
"I see you have a shard, young Kent of the Winged Beasts," the voice spoke.
"Yes, and I can destroy you with such powers," Kent replied.
"But can you? That is the question that onyl you can answer."
"Yes."
"And with more shards?"
"There canot be more shards. The jewel was destroyed long ago. This single shard is all that is left."
"Well then you can see for yourself what powers shards can bring you."
*The puppet raised its hands, and three large holes suddenly appeared in the forest.*
"What...power?"
"Now do we have something to talk about?"
"No. You see, Naroku, I've got better things to do than running your little errands."
"I see that you still have a grudge against me, Kent of the Winged Beasts. Very well, I've showed you the power, and you did not accept. Consider yourself an enemy of Naroku."
"But I won't, you see. I am Kent."
"Ha."
*This pact never happened for one reason, he was Kikyo's loyal servant. His looks was not much different from a real human, thus he was easily able to blend in with other humans. His training as a master archer was second to none. All was well until that darn InuYasha got in the way. He should have been the only one that Kikyo should care about! It didn't matter. Kikyo was dead, and he had to move on.
He continued through this forest, unaware of some half demons nearby.*
