Soi's Sanity
Prologue
The first time her body had been sold. The man had been watching her play in the garden picking the flowers. The man had come up to her, smiled so nicely, and asked her where she lived. That man. He had a brief discussion with her father and the man passed him an envelope. Her father smiled and nodded, motioning toward her. The man looked at Soi again and again he smiled but this time it was different.
Soi woke, the bed was drenched in sweat and she was breathing heavily. She had had the dream again. It was the same every night. She decided to wash up so she slipped out of bed and put on a long dark robe. Silently she made her way past the tents of sleeping soldiers and purposefully avoiding Nakago's by taking the long way around. Thank Seiryu that they had made camp near a lake.
Taking off her robe she gently cut through the cool water trying to calm her mind. Her hair threaded through the water behind like blood. Why? Why was she condemned to endure this over and over again? To see it, feel it. She looked down into the deep blackness of the water. Couldn't she just end it? Just stop swimming? Let herself slip under… it would all end. No one was around she could do it and no one would know until the morning.
She could feel the water rising around her, soon she was completely submerged. In the darkness she began to see. Her mind's eye wondered to all that she had done in her life. All that she had dreamed to do …. all that she couldn't if she let herself go like this.
Suddenly she breached the surface and her lungs flooded with air. Gasping she pulled herself up on the shore wrapped her robe around her. She wouldn't be beaten so easily. If she took her life like this he would win.
She sat on the shore for an eternity just watching the ebb and flow of the waves, and the shimmer of the moon. Only footprints were left to tell of her secret rendezvous with the black water.
