Willow
By SMYGO4EVA
Her name is Kohane, the spiritual seer, the one connects to the other side and talk to spirits who have passed on. The one who casts out demons, banishing them to the pit of hate they have originally come from. She knows of the spirits, yet she does not know of their true wishes, as there are many that are good, but most of them are bitter with wickedness and greed. With seeing those spirits, in human and on the other side, she wants to hide, to hide from it all.
She lives in the real word, where the living spends their days until their dying words, but it is because of its nature she fears it. The living world is cold, aloof and uncaring a sit watches anything not of their own with its hateful silver gaze. She hides from the real world because of them, and where she hides is secret, just like her own feelings and affinity to the willows.
She walks in the forest, so dark and very safe, unlike what the world that is so bright and very open, where nothing is a secret and where nothing is shaded under a protected cover. The trees would be her sanctuary, where she was under no pressure to appear and exploit her gifts; she would be a willow, fragile yet almost a sage, and no one would try to seize her, try to destroy her from the inside out.
Away from the many trees, she would wither under too much light and too little rain, from the spotlight of the many studios and she would not have the tears that are left unshed.
