“Of the Chinese pantheon. Someone whom you know of, Amazon”, the sphere spoke with amusement.
“Saotome Ranma, hold out your hand“. Ranma did so.
“Behold”
Poof!
An octagonal shaped ring made of violet jade, with geometric markings, dropped into cupped palm. The ring was big enough to fit in his palm. If he so wished, he could have placed it on his wrist. The talisman started to glow faintly from the moment he touched it.
“This is the…”
“Shinterin”, Cologne spoke with an awed voice.
“So?” Ranma was confused. How was this trinket had to do with his new fiancée? His eyes started widening when clouds started forming inside the inner circle.
“What the…?” He started to poke a finger into the clouds.
“Son-in-law! Don’t poke….”, Cologne trailed off. Ranma’s finger touched the clouds. The clouds started to emit a yellow glow that intensified. Ranma could swear that he can see an empty space inside the clouds.
The glow flashed intensely, then shot up an intense plume of bright energy that hit Ranma in the face and knocked Cologne off her perch atop Ranma’s head.
Gaack!
Ranma dropped the ring to the ground and scrambled back with a look of panic. He stopped scrambling when he saw Cologne kneeling and looking at the light show with a look of …veneration?
A female figure was slowly ascending from the ring. The light finally faded to a point where everybody can see her. Kuno, who finally woke up from the last lightning strike, looked upon her in awe. So did everyone else.
She looked young, about Ranma's and Akane’s age. Her complexion was that of alabaster. She wore a high collared white long sleeved dress, with blue trim at the hem. It was a style not seen in this world for centuries, if not millennia. Ankle- high, open collared, yellow-trimmed boots tied with leather straps adorned dainty feet. Long silver hair that reached to the small of her back framed a face that would have launched a thousand ships. One long strand of hair reached her knees, which has held in place with a length of red silk formed into a bow. A yellow silk sash was tied around a trim waist. She radiated an aura of tranquility to all onlookers. A vision of the crescent moon, framed by the night sky, formed around her. Everyone was slack-jawed at the spectacle, except for Cologne, who was still gazing at the vision with a look of adoration.
The vision slowly dropped to the ground. She gracefully picked up the Shintenrin from the ground. Her long-lashed eyelids fluttered opened to reveal eyes of amethyst, which looked at right at Ranma’s eyes.
“Nice to meet you, master”, she spoke with a smile.
