10. Kagura and Kanna
Kanna was sitting on a tree limb, gazing deep in her mirror. It was reflecting black void at her, not the image of her face or the tree behind her. Her eyes were empty and emotionless, not even a twinkle of sadness or melancholy in her gaze. Her pale lips were parted lightly, but they were slack, not curled to form a smile or a pout.
The emKbodiment of void was quietly looking at the empty darkness in her mirror, deep in thoughts.
Suddenly a gust of wind swayed the tree branches, rustled in the leaves. Kanna slowly lifted her head and locked eyes with those of Kgura - so fierce, so full of emotions. It was sometimes hard to remember they were sisters with the way how different they were.
The wind was ever changing, full of passion, of longings and desires. The void was stagnation, emptiness where such emotions had no rule nor place. When Kanna was pale Kagura's body and clothing were full of vibrant colors.
Kagura gave a small smirk and waved her fan again, causing an another gust of wind shake the tree, make Kanna's hair sway. The pale girl realized that the woman was not attacking her or trying to release some pent up rage. She was doing it to make Kanna's branch sway. It was like an odd version of a swing.
When Kanna realized that she looked at Kagura's face again and saw a playful grin, so odd an exression to a woman who was usually cringing or scowling. Kagura closed her fan and gave a small nod.
"I know you don't care much for taste, but I have grapes which are too sweet for my liking. Feel free to come and relieve me of the burden of having them in my chanber," the wind sorceress said and made a disgusted face before turning around and retreating to the castle.
Kanna looked in her mirror after following her steps with her gaze. The sky was peeking through the branches of the tree in her mirror, just like it was above her head.
"Grapes," Kanna said in a soft whisper before leading her sulking spot.
