Rain
It was pouring hard as Guan Yinping entered the Shu palace's balcony. Guan Yinping's eyes watched as each raindrop crashed onto the surface of the balcony's banister and trickled down to meet their end. She traced the tracks of the raindrops with her fingertips and then laid out her hand to capture the raindrops.
She hated rainy days. She hated rain. She hated rain for reminding her of the gloomy memory. She hated rain for how it was humiliating her. She hated rain. Although, in the rain she did create cherishable memories before the Battle of Fan Castle. The rain foreshadowed the heartbreaking news of the battle. That day the rain brought her fear and nightmares into reality.
She remembered how her legs trembled and her body shook as her head hung low when the messenger announced the death of both her father and oldest brother. Tears fled from her eyes while the raindrops looked like tiny crystals that fell from the sky and collided to the ground. That day the rain have given her pain.
Time was in the process of slowly healing her, however she would never forget the pain. Lately, she noticed how rain had the ease of calming one's mind and to self-reflect. She learned to appreciate those aspects. She also viewed how rain could not only be a foe, but a friend just like how it supported plants' life and crops.
Guan Yinping finally placed her hand onto the balcony again. She realized she must restore life in herself instead of allowing her real nightmares to continually rain onto her.
A/N: A short fanfic. The idea of this story popped into my mind and then I quickly wrote it.
