Prologue:
Yung Lei walked briskly down a corridor, her hands cold and her nervousness at its height.
"She's got to allow me, she's got to." she muttered to herself as she tried to hide her nervousness by looking confident.
She reached her mother's chamber and knocked.
"Come in," came her mother's stern reply.
Yung Lei opened the door and entered. She faced her mother, who was sitting on a high-backed chair.
The goddess of chastity was very beautiful; for she had a shapely body, fair complexion, lush lips, and watery, blue eyes. Her hair was long and black, which was one of the things that she passed on to her daughter.
Yung Lei was equally beautiful, but she inherited her father's boldness and love for adventure. She never even dressed up much like a woman, and if it weren't for her mother's intrusion, she would have cut her hair short.
"What is it Yung Lei?" the goddess inquired.
"Okasan, I never want to disobey you, but I want to be a soldier, just like father." Yung Lei said confidently.
Her mother went white, and she looked she had seen a ghost.
"A…a soldier?!"
Yung Lei already knew what her answer would be.
"You will not be a soldier. I do not want you having anything to do with the military." her mother said calmly, though she was shaky. "Do you understand me?"
Yung Lei looked at her feet and muttered, "Whatever you say, mother", though deep within her, she did not want to say that.
