Amarante

"I am going to the market father" Amarante said. Her voice was soft. Her skin was pale and her hair was long and black and her eyes pale blue-grey. Chun Lin was too weak to speak. He had fallen ill during the harsh cold and hadn't recovered. "And maybe I can find a medicine man to heal you."

Amarante walked to the market to see a parade of people. Whats happening she wondered. Amarante was very inquiring and very curious and the smartest one in the whole village. Amarante shifted to the front of the crowd and saw a man in a long white robe come off of a horse and two women one in blue silk and the other in green silk immediatly follow his every step in perfect unison. The man had motioned for the woman in green to hand him a scroll. "The Emporer Sheng will be traveling through this villiage in two days!" He said loudly so the crowd could hear him "He will spend the night in the best home and there shalll be a feast in his honor! He expects all of you to be there to celebrate." then the man and the women got back on their horses and left."We must prepare!" said the town leader. Almost everyone scrambled to sweep or clean or get gifts for the emporer. But Amarante began searching for a medicine man.
