"So this scrawny welp is what my cousin adopted into our illustrious line?" The gruff voice was strange as Yan Sha sat up. She was wrapped in furs and her inner garments had been removed. The furs were bound around her body with little pieces of twine that itched against her exposed skin. She had a strong urge to remove everything so the texture of the soft fur was undisturbed, or even better to ask for soft inner clothes. There was light seeping through an opening in the flap to the tent and it smelled strongly of grilled meat. She put her hand over her face as the flap was tightly wrenched closed and the torches were lit showing the scar marked face of the chieftain.
Yan Sha squealed and wrapped the furs more tightly around herself. She squinted as her eyes adjusted to a much thinner woman standing behind the chieftain whose skin was marked in the same way that she was. Yan Sha gingerly moved and pointed. "Why do you loo

In the camp, Yan Sha was treated well as she would have been at her home or in Jungpi. With these new revelations of who she was and why such things had been done to her, she felt really strange. If she looked at her reflection in the congee that she was handed, her eyes were no longer pitch black. There were no longer streaks of necrotic flesh wrapping around her body. The tattoo at her back was no longer seeping ink. She was no longer coughing up copious amount of blackened boluses of whatever she had tried to get down. All of the new signs of health that she had taken for granted were there, but her body was still almost skeletal. Her hands hurt when she tried to move them. The hollows of her cheeks were sunken in and shriveled. Everyone was always handing food to her and bundling her to more and more layers of fur. After a while, the boredom sank in and Yan Sha stood, sloshing the congee angrily. Everyone look

Yan Sha ran over to where her mother was sitting with the chieftain. Realization dawned on her now that this was her mother's new husband and that there were more changes here than she had previously realized and understood. Things would not be the same as before even if she stayed here and pandered to her mother's wishes of a retirement of her character. Was it really the best course of action to leave her country, now that she had properly saved it? Who would become the new legend if she did not come back to what she had hoped would be her new home? She felt a strange set of restlessness as the thing that she had worked so hard to cultivate was now left to curl into a ball and die. "Bring her over here," the words were slurred as the chieftain was holding a wineskin and pointed at Yan Sha. Yan Sha felt uncomfortable as she was forced to stand by the two matrons who stood at either elbow and forced to move closer and closer to the fir

Yan Sha stood stiffly on the edge of a cliff looking down at the caravan train of tribesmen passing by as she considered her life choices now that her motivations were dashed away by the last couple months' series of events. Her own mortality was on her mind often these days as she wondered what the purpose of her being skinned alive of her innocence. She had been so ruthless in life already to get this far and strangely she did not regret a moment of it although it was like a boundary had been drawn between the old her and the new her. The two halves of herself could touch each other in a mirror and mourn the loss of their joining. If she had not gone so hard she would not have reached any of the pinnacles she had touched so far and as she had tasted first blood already from the battle, her body still longed to return to it. It was strange for her now to sit idle and wait for a decision instead of going out and fin

“You’re a lot like your mother. I always told her that the past doesn’t matter as long as she is willing to make a future with me. There are many young men here with whom you could make a good future with. But if you want to start again beyond the central plans, that too is within my power.” “You’re very kind, but to be married is not the only worth of a woman. I have responsibility to a country and whom I am very happy to know is my kin. It would be very easy to run away from all my responsibilities and disappear into a marriage. My husband’s name and title would be melded as my identity.” “Wasn’t it some high and mighty perfumed prince who did all this to you? He’s married now with many woman around him. Why did he give you his daughter if you do not desire to be his wife? A

“In our tribe we place our bets on both children, but this daughter is not one of mine. You left the father of her as he got tangled trying to seek glory at the capital and you married me hoping again for a peaceful existence as you thought all whom you loved had left you. No one knew that your daughter was alive until she reaped accomplishments. Her adoption has gotten her some benefit. You forget that through this adoptions that you are no longer her true mother.” She shrugged and then looked at the retreating figure of her daughter. Yan Sha had insisted on not leaving in a carriage. It was strange that she felt a sort of restlessness that maybe she would not see her daughter again in this lifetime. =//= Yan Sha walked to the neare

The baubles around the concubine face were made with beautiful pink tinged jade and silver that although her features were crooked, balanced out her unusual beauty to make it quite eye-catching to behold. The face was beautiful in a very masculine way, but it was still striking. Once someone caught a look at her properly, it was hard to miss. “Are you Bingquing? Do you remember we used to have the same qin teacher when you lived back in Chu manor? It is a horrible thing that happened to your father and clan? Seeing you here brings me joy. Having a martial background is good.” Yan Sha was almost shocked at hearing her old name and what the woman had said was true. It was dangerous for Yan Sha of Jungpi to be here but her father had been cleared and the emperor had expressed great regret th

As Yan Sha changed into their pale pink maid dresses and donned the similar style of hair they all clapped in unison and seemed happy to have another sister in their midst. Yan Sha noted too that her hair ornaments were of a higher quality than the other maids showing her as the momo in charge of their madam. The fabric of her dress was thicker as well which made her relieved that even if she had a flare up that the inky slick would be easy to dispose of with the cloth type. “How do I look, everyone?” Yan Sha said cheerfully as she put her hands into her sleeves and bowed to her new master. “You look like a proper momo.” Concubine Sun said sincerely as she held her pointy stomach in the midst of all of her maids. “The hair ornaments really bring light to your face. It is probably the first time

“Momo you should put your own things away before you tend to mam. They are always like this as the affection lately among them is deepening. It is not for us to interfere in this matter. She will want a hot bath soon after the duke falls asleep.” Yan Sha nodded quickly. She stepped through the divider instead between the legitimate and illegitimate side of the house. All of the maids shared a room, but Concubine Sun had already stipulated that Yan Sha get her own room with a small courtyard. The garden was small but nice and adjoined her friend's large pavilion. She was grateful that her friend had been true to her word that she would have her own space. So far her words were sincere and kind which was rare to her as she knew there was always a catch. A set of keys too had been deli
