Sitting..or was it more frozen than anything…the images replaying over an over in her head. ‘This just can’t be all that is left for my daughter, I won’t allow it..I will not see my daughter born just to be given as the plaything of some aristocratic male. She will be something so much more than that, but how am I ever going to get her away from here. Her father already promised her to him, already sold away our precious childs life before she even took her first breath.’
Giving a disheartened sigh she turned to leave her silent vigil an return to her home, but then she heard something..something almost like crying. Curiosity getting the best of her, she slowly approached the sound. Much to her surprise it was what appeared to be a young woman, ‘she sounds so sad..she didn’t even hear my approach..’
“Child why do you cry out here alone? You shouldn’t be so far from your village. This forest is not safe at night there are many demons and other unexplainable things,” she said as she knelt to a crouch beside the young woman.
“I cry for my mother, for my father, for the life I will never be allowed to have..I cry because today was my last day of freedom. Today was my last day to watch the sun rise, to kiss my mothers cheek as I ran outside to watch my little brother, it was my last day to dream of what freedom would be,” the young woman said as she lifted her tearstained face to study her new companion.
Studying her face she noted the girl must be of some form of high ranking family, but she spoke as if she were not raised to be a young hime. ‘I wonder what could be so bad that she speaks as if her world is ending, I wonder.’
“Child whatever this is it cannot be that bad, you speak as if they sold you away from home” she said looking her in the eyes. Those eyes that look so much like someone else’s, but yet far to sad for one her age.
The wind stirred slightly and the young woman began to rise slowly an turned to walk away but before she was completely gone she looked over her shoulder at the my very confused expression, “You did.”
************************************************************************
Some weeks later I was sitting outside trying to relax an calm my nerves when all I wanted to do was strangle something or should I say someone. ‘He just never listens *sigh* sometimes I wonder if he even cares’
~~FLASHBACK~~
“Our daughter is the key to this alliance, she will be perfectly happy, I just don’t see why you can’t see that what I have done for our daughter is for her own good. She will never want for anything and she will be someone of great request, someone of power. Do you not want these things for our beautiful daughter?” he asked over his shoulder with barely controlled rage.
“You do not realize but you have stolen freedom from our daughter, you have taken away her choice. She is our daughter and I want nothing but the best for her but what I want more than any of that is her happiness, and if she chose that life then yes I would gladly let her go but she did not make this choice you made it for her. Therefore no matter her thoughts you have made her into a puppet for your political game, and I WILL NOT stand idly by and watch you manipulate our child!!!” she whispered in a deadly soft voice, eyes flashing red.
In an instant she was pinned against the wall, hands at the throat, “You will do as I say bitch and you will do it when I say it. You will do nothing to hinder my plans for our daughter, she will go with them when she is born and you would do well to go ahead an accept that. It is not your place to disagree with me when it comes to the child, I am the father and I make the decisions for her future.” Dropping her to the ground he turned to leave stopping only to say, “Oh, and never threaten me again you will not like the consequences if you do.”
‘Our daughter will have freedom, I promise you this! If I have to die for her to live the life she should then I will gladly do so, but you will never get your claws into her again’
~~BACK TO PRESENT~~
The sky was fading to a beautiful lavender and orange as night weaved her mystical blanket over the sun, and still sitting in the palace gardens was our troubled hime. Looking on you could almost see the struggle going on inside her mind, when it suddenly became a very real struggle for her to move at all much less think.
Pulling herself up off the ground the hime walked leaning heavily against the wall, once she reached the side entrance a maid opened the door. In a look of shock the maid pulled her inside and quickly called for the midwife and the ladies handmaiden. No one was allowed in the room for what felt like hours, the midwife insisting it was bad for the birthing. However, the truth was that the lady had finally found a way to free her daughter even though it would still take her from her daughter at least she would be free from her fathers political games.
“Did you bring the ink and the charm, Mariska?” the lady asked of her handmaiden as she held her daughter for the first and last time.
“Yes, mame, I did. Are you sure you want to do this? Once this is done there will be no turning back, and there is very little chance you will ever see her again if you do this.” the maiden said as she lay out the requested items.
“Yes, Mariska, you know there is no other choice. If her father gets her and uses her then she will never be free. I would rather lose her a million times over than have her be a puppet to that mans twisted power games, when she is old enough she will free herself and find her way home to her family.”

*sigh* “Then we must begin, my lady, the midwife will not be able to hold this illusion much longer. Hold the child still while I begin the process, your power will not be needed till the final step.” the maiden said picking up the needle like instrument.
Slowly but carefully the maiden put a triangle of the stars on each wrist and ankle, circled the child’s belly button with a leaf design, and vines with roses down her spine. Each design flared a bright red before dimming and drying.
“My lady, it is done, now all that is left is for you to wrap her in your protection, your power.” the maiden said slipping the charm onto the child’s ankle.
The lady held her child close for one last time, and pulled her power forth. Mentally layering her child in her power and blanketing her in her protection. Laying a soft kiss on the child’s forehead she whispered, “ I love you” as she passed the child to the handmaiden who quickly exited through a side door and quietly snuck out of the castle.
Watching them go the lady smiled, knowing that now her daughter would at least have the choice. Feeling soft hands on her face she smiled and slowly slipped into a deep slumber induced by the midwife, there plan was to put her to sleep for months and pretend the child had died during birth. As sleep wrapped around her last bit of conscious thought she heard her husbands roar at the loss of his daughter, his pawn.
Storming into the room the angry male looked onto the pale form of his mate and thanked the kamis he would at least be able to have another, and then his plans could continue. Wrinkling his nose as the smell of death assaulted him he turned and left not sparing another glance for his mate or the midwife.
************************************************************************
~~With Mariska and the child~~
Well out of the lords reach Mariska still ran as fast as she could, they had built a cottage far to the north near a small human village called Edo. She knew if she ran far and fast she would be able to reach the village in under ten minutes and be safely inside the barrier of her cottage. There she would raise the child until she was old enough to return home, and then the child would be able to live her own life. This was what had first forced her to help the child, because she as a maid in the house had first been a slave to her owners whims. She had vowed since then that she would never watch another unwillingly suffer what she had been forced to endure and never have a choice. She had vowed that this little hime would be given every choice this life could offer her and no man was going to stop that.
So lost in her thoughts was Mariska that she didn’t even hear the approach of those following her, and when she did it was to late. He knocked her to the ground, laughing, he stood over her watching as she struggled to get up.
“Well, what have we here? A defenseless and alone young woman and her baby, now what I wonder is why she is out here all alone. No woman should walk these woods without an escort, I believe I will escort you. However, you will be coming with me to stay. I quite like the thought of you cooking, cleaning, and doing my every depraved whim.” he said arrogantly as he stalked her crawling form.
‘Just a little further you jackass and I will be rid of you, just keep talking like that and I will be able to get away from you’ Mariska kept chanting in her head as she crawled closer and closer to the barriers edge.
Reaching the lip of the well she pulled herself up to make a run for the last few feet when he reached for her again. Turning to bat his arm away Mariska lost her balance and fell over the lip of the well, looking up with terrified eyes as the sky drifted farther an farther away.
‘I am so dead, damn it, just my luck to die falling down a well 4 feet from safety.’
Strangley of all though instead of hitting the cold hard ground like she expected a strange blue light surrounded them and a jolt of electricity shot through her and then everything went black around them.
************************************************************************

~~500 years into the future~~
“BUYO….BUYO…COME OUT YOU CRAZY CAT..I’LL GIVE YOU A KITTY TREAT IF YOU QUITE HIDING..” a young woman of not more than twenty-six yelled as she pulled open the door to the last place on her search party for the ever annoying family cat Buyo.
‘I wonder where that dang cat is, he usually always comes when I mention kitty treats, like he actually understands it..although I wouldn’t doubt he did when it involves food’ Takara thought a she searched the well house or what little of it there was to search. Sighing she got up to leave when all of the sudden a bright blue light erupted from inside the well.. ‘OH MY GOD!!’
“JI CHAN…MOM…COME QUICK THERES SOMEBODY IN THE WELL!!” Takara screamed as he looked down into the dark blue eyes of the infant. Instantly, like a bolt of electricity she felt a connection to this small child.
