Akako- the red child prt1
A prophet once stated that a girl of the age of 16 would bring massive misfortune to the village of Takamizu. The prophecy went on to tell of the girl with hair the color of a blazing aurora sun that would one day bring the village of Takamizu to its knees. This Prophet was a widely beloved and known man. All of his prophecies came true, both the good and the bad. Although he rarely told of great misfortunes unless they were of great importance such as the sickly emporer dying of pneumonia and his son of a yet unknown disease that waited until his 21st birthday to ravish his young and feeble body. But that is a completly different story. The prophet forsaw the girl and the many disasters she would bring, but unfortunately, he also saw that he would not live to even see the birth of this unfortunate child. For you see, the prophet was now a very, feeble, and sickly man, He had forgotten his age long ago and no one ever asked of his age before. This poor man knew he was not long for this world so he gathered the village's most important men. The emporer's grandson, who was now the ruler at just 13, Eito, Eito's council, and the wisest man in the village besides the prophet, Fusao. They gathered around the prophet's bed and with his last breath, the prophet gave his warning of the red haired girl. "A girl that has seen almost 200 moon phases and stares at the stars and moon until she sees the beginning of a new day and has never missed the sunrise in her lifetime since the day she was born, will bring the most horrible famine the village has ever seen. She will have hair the color of all the sunrises she has seen in the early morning and the skin as pale as the moon and the stars she gazes upon." With that, he never took another breath to give anything more about the girl of red hair.
