Prompt: Beg

The bread had a bit of mold in it, but that never bothered her. The bread was a lot better than some other officers had given their captives. It was never a problem, Blackbird tears the bread into rations and tenderly feeds the sorceress. The problem, however is that there is not enough.

She was weak and getting worse each day. Even if Blackbird were to fast and give all her rations to Veloce, the sorceress was never able to finish one portion.

Against everything her master taught her, Blackbird stuck her hand between the bars and begged for food.


Prompt: Queen

"Strip."

With the command left the queen's lips, Veloce Visrin obeyed. Throwing her clothes thrown unceremoniously on the floor, the sorceress stood rigid against the cold air.

Blackbird grinned, licking her lips and drinking in the sight of the Visrin's body--staring. "Now, get the oil."

"Of course..." Veloce began, but her Sifu's voice came out of her mouth, completely destroying her libido.

"Lazy ass."

Blackbird whined against her pillow.


Prompt: Bullet

Blackbird cursed guns for as long as she knew.

They were called 'pistols' or so she was told. To her, it just gave spineless fools an upper hand to samurais, and warriors without years of discipline and honor.

A bullet ripped through her.

White feathers floated in the air.

Tasting copper, and seeing visions her last prey; Veloce Visrin, Blackbird fell into Mother Earth's waiting arms.


Prompt: Ruined

Veloce Visrin did not know why she saved Blackbird. The assassin was lying on her back on the ground, unmoving and bleeding.

The sorceress changed the bandages for the fourth time that day, her own worries were pressing the ashen-haired woman's soul into the earthly ground.

Shaking, Veloce shut the drapes of the assassin's robes together, begging the gods for mercy. The assassin's robes were ruined, stiff from the dried blood.

Ruined, like her family name spoken by the commoners.

Ruined, like the skin beneath her lover's right breast.

Veloce knew that her soul would be tainted the moment she was born.
