Day 1, village of the Yao clan

I don't why I'm keeping this odd thing with me. I don't see much of a point to it. Though I still keep it, ever since I left to journey with The young master and grandfather . I decided to keep this. Perhaps just to write about the days progress. Young master, nor grandfather know about this small book. I keep it hidden within the cloth of my clothes.

I've seen other young women and girls in Xing have these small books to write in, known as a 'diary'. I was never really the one to follow such trends like this, I suppose I'm just different. In fact I'm very different then many women in my homeland. I was never the one to wear expensive silk robes, wear my hair up in delicate fashions, apply face powder, or make up.

Maybe it has to with the fact that I'm a bodyguard and servant. Servants never wore such things like that. Nor bodyguards of royalty, those things would restrict movement. Causing one, as myself to be of little use.

It is my duty to protect and serve; for the good of Xing, for the good of the emperor, for the good of the Yao clan, and for the good of young master...

This is my duty, I will fulfill this at all costs. And thus our search for immortality begins.

Author Note: This is something that I wrote awhile ago. It was something that I had thought up, thinking 'what if RanFan had a diary, what would she write?' So yeah, this is what came up from that thought. If people like it and I get reviews, I will add more to this. So please review! Oh, and please excuse the format, I'm getting microword later, but have to make due with my computer notepad. Blah.
