I want to make something very clear, this story has been abandoned and I've been working on a better version of this story. & that version will be the official one. You are still welcome to read this book, I just wanted to point this out.
Head's up, this story is not for everyone. Here is a warning so you know what you're getting yourself into.
-Blood(This is a liquid you're going to see a lot in life, but still I'm gonna warn you about that)
-Violence
-Alcohol and cigarette
-Swearing
-Flowery talk(You'll see flowery talk every five seconds)
-Discrimination against oppressed groups if that's how you'd see it
-Representation that might be incorrect or offensive
-Historical or cultural misconceptions
-Narration that might sound rushed
Anyways, without further ado, let's begin!
Hello adults, teenagers, and children whose parents don't care if you read this!
If you are into Japanese culture, Edwardian culture, historical things, adventures, fantasies, and/or magic, then I hope this story is worth your time! This is(Kind of) set in the Northeast of Japan.
Ladies, and gentlemen, say "Hello" to our main characters, Raidon and Reiko Samajima! They were artists at Ayame Okiya, a lodging house home to the geisha, maiko, and taikomochi. I'm sure you'll love these two, I do!
Okay, let's get to it now.
How about we begin our story in the Edwardian period, eh? Or should I say the late Meiji period?
He was in the work room, working on a flower ornament, the kind of ornament you'd put in your hair. The flower ornament resembled a purple iris. He was using purple topaz for the carving. He grabbed a paintbrush, dipped it in a cup of white paint, and brushed the bottom petals. He decided to set down the brush and ornament, and decided to rock back and forth, daydreaming.
"Samajima?" Someone opened the door. "Yes?" Raidon turned his head, stopping the rocking, a goblin was standing there, holding a basket of paint. "How're those accessories turning out?" They asked, "I've finished the tegara and the back cloth. I'm almost done with the flower hairpin." Raidon answered with a smile. "That's great news! I've brought you some more paint in case you run out." The goblin went up to the table Raidon was working at and set the basket on the side. "Thank you very much, Shinohara." Raidon bowed slightly, "It's my pleasure!" Shinohara left the room.
Raidon turned back to the iris hairpin, and continued painting.
Raidon's elder sister, Reiko, was dashing through the halls with a bucket of clothing in her hands. She made it to a room with someone's name on it, and used her foot to open the door. "Okay, Serizawa, here is a bucket of clothes!" She went in and closed the door. A red lizard dived out of a closet, and landed on his feet. His name was Tatsu Tatsu had his hair tied in an ofuku hairstyle, and his face painted with a white coat, partially painted lips, and red blush.
"Okay, here, I found some clothes with your favourite patterns." Reiko pulled out a kimono patterned with swans. "Thank you, Reiko-san." Tatsu bowed before walking up to her. "Arms out!" Reiko spread out the kimono. Tatsu spread his arms out, and Reiko slid the kimono sleeves on, she wrapped the left side over the right side, and used the white thread to tie it, so it could keep the robe in place. She picked up an obi, and obiage, then wrapped them around Tatsu's torso, tucking the obiage under obi. She then picked up a shime, and a poochiri, tied the shime around the obi, and clipped the poochiri to the shime. "All done." She went to the basket to place some cloth back in. Tatsu bowed to her before she picked up the bucket and left the room.
