Three Riddles and The Arrows of Time by Jezeriah

Prologue: Three Kings

"We must seal him away, there is nothing else that can be done!"

Three demon lords sat around a table weighing the situation at hand. The youngest had shouted his protest to what seemed to be an empty room. The air was thickened by the tension of three powers whose strength combined could not push back the greatest danger in that day. All felt weak, all were frustrated, and all felt heavy displeasure at the idea of human aid.

"We need a priest, one of holy power to contain such evil." The younger demon, finally found his place back in his seat, and awaited the comments of the other two, one of the Inu clan like himself, and the other a dragon. The red eyes of the dragon leapt from one dog to the other and narrowed in displeasure. He sighed in distaste at the situation but knew of all the lords in this land, the two sitting before him were the only of their kind to insist upon the right action to take. He knew they needed a human and so did the quiet older dog across from him. Said dog had remained silent throughout the entire gathering until he rose from his chair and sighed heavily. He turned to the younger Inu,

"You have matters of this world to attend to, my daughter will provide a family that you must care for." The younger dog looked up at his counterpart in confusion for a moment until the underlying tone of the message opened in his mind. He nodded his approval of his kin's sacrifice, rose from the table and walked out of the room. The dragon too stood and made his way to leave, he stopped short of the door and addressed the last of the three,

"I will make the necessary preparations but you must find a way to guard the weapon in the meantime."

The dragon left the Inu to his thoughts. The dog closed his eyes and sighed, this was to be his destiny.
