Year 2: The Rising Sky
They were beautiful, her eyes. So pure in their endeavors, mimicking her sweet spirit. How he had gone on so long without her was a mystery, shrouded in shadow. But that was now forgotten. All that mattered was that she was here, by his side, watching as the stars faded in the light of dawn.
Gorgeous wasn't a strong enough word.
Radiant came closer to the mark, but it seemed that Hisana eluded all description.
Even with the clan's law broken, the name forever shamed, he'd much rather have her, the woman who had claimed his heart.
Her favorite time of year was early spring. They would walk through the gardens where she loved to see the trees and plants in bloom. Even the koi, as she'd joyously pointed out, seemed to be much happier with the warmer weather. Yes, he supposed that were true. It couldn't have been a pleasant thing, being removed from one's home during the cold season, forced to live indoors and watch the world outside turn to ice.
On the best of days, she would climb the tallest tree with a book, and sit there for hours as he looked on in admiration.
Today was one of those days.
Lovely as she was, Hisana seemed to be carrying a secret. One that would frighten her on the darkest of nights. He would silence himself when she insisted it was nothing, but her eyes told a different story. Somewhere, at some point in time, she had done something to lay this curse upon herself.
He did not want her to cry, to suffer, but if she said that it was nothing, then nothing it would be.
