With her eyes closed, Soah smiled as she breathed in the smell of fresh spring air as a gentle wind passed, her long hair dancing around her in the wind as its partner.
Opening her eyes she found herself standing in a wide empty meadow field. Above her, the bright sun shined down on her covering her in its warm embrace. The long green grass brushed against her legs almost reaching her knees as they swayed gently back and forth with a gentle breeze. The sky colored a lovely blue with puffy white clouds slowly drifting across the sky.
Gazing around her eyes widen as she spotted a tall long haired figure standing beside a large blossom tree. The shadow the tree provided the stranger a kind of shield, covering the upper half of the person's face.

The clothes the stranger wore made the person look quite feminine but gazing closely from the far distance Soah stood in she could see that in fact, the person was a male. She could see the kind grin on his face as his platinum blonde hair swayed with the wind. As soon as the wind picked up as his forehead was revealed and she saw the marking on his forehead she knew instantly who this person was. His sapphire grey eyes staring back at her own same colored eyes.
"Your ..." Soah traced off with wide eyes as the wind picked up once again making strains of her hair fly across her forehead. Brushing them away she gazed back at the man as he smiled kindly at her before he brought up his index finger to his lips.
With a force of wind brushing against her, her eyes widen in shock as voices filled her head, familiar voices she had heard before but not speaking directly at her. Images flowing through her head making her dizzy at the fast speed.
"Ashura!" Renshu's mother yelled out in her head as the images were forced into her head. It was like before when she had first arrived, receiving all the memories of her past life. Yet this was different, much different. It didn't feel as it had before of just seeing them as if seeing a movie, no. This time it was as if she was living them herself at fast speed. Reliving every single moment, feeling and thinking everything she no he had. She could feel the touch of the fabrics of the grass. The warm fire. Remember laughing in joy as he pranked his grandmother and older sister.
Even the sensation of a salted kiss of goodbye.
She gasped out loud as she felt a pain in her chest as a dazy memory rushed through her head. She could remember the smell of blood, gazing down at her hands covered in blood as her wound on her chest bleed out. Feeling herself falling before a pair of arms grabbed on to her strongly yet at the same time gently. She could recall the pain coughing out blood as she struggled to breathe before she could also recall gazing up at the person who had her in their embrace. She could remember giving the person a pained yet bittersweet smile as she reached out with a trembled blood covered hand to cup the side of the person's face. She remembered gazing into the person's eyes searching for something before giving off a small laugh. Recalling her last words to the person before reaching out to kiss the person's cheeks whispering something in their ear before it all went dark.
Ashura ... Their voice was the last she had heard before nothing more.
Letting out a quiet sob she fell on her knees tears streaming down her cheeks as she gazed up with blank eyes.
"You are me and I am you ." She heard her say behind him as he wrapped his arms around her in a comforting hug.
"Never forget ."
Opening her eyes she gazed up at the bedroom ceiling, tears still streaming down her cheek as she could feel a slight burning sensation on her forehead where her marking laid.
"Soah ?" A voice questioned her making her snap out of her thoughts. Feeling her head heavy she turned to spot Renshu standing across the room leaning against the wall. His arms crossed as he held a blank expression on his face. His eyes holding silent words of worry.
"I'm fine," Soah said as she rubbed away the tears sitting up with a bit of struggle.
"Where am I ?" Soah asked as she gazed around the unfamiliar room she was in.
" Once the emperor gave us this room, you fell asleep exhausted from the trip," Renshu explained as he walked over to the window. Staring at his blank expression, Soah couldn't help but think of her dream.
"Hey, Renshu. Do you ever wish you could meet your father ?" Soah asked as her heart hammered hard against her chest as he stayed silent.
"No." Her eyes widen at his reply.
"That person did nothing for me. The only thing he did was make my mother an outsider to her own town once she took him in. Even after his death, she remained an outsider to his village and her own for having his child. " Soah's eyes widen at the slight cold feeling in his words, guilt filling in her heart as she gazed at him.
"What is he came back, what would you say ?" Soah asked before she could stop herself from saying anything.
"Why are you asking this ?" Renshu questioned her turning to gaze at her with narrowed eyes.
"Just asking," Soah replied quickly.
"It doesn't matter, I would ask if he really did love my mother. From the few things I heard about him was that he always had very feminine looks and was always confused for women . His beauty attracted both men and women. Always acting like a child even playing pranks on his sister and the elder. He was a kind man yet was very clumsy and often didn't think twice to help someone. In other words, he was a naive foolish man who always caused trouble. " Soah couldn't help but gasp as she felt imaginary arrows stab into her at the sound of his hidden insults to his father or in fact to her.
Hey, now you little...
Soah traced off in a bit of anger before noticing the weak variable look in his eyes.
"I had wished to meet him once, my mother loved him too much to even marry another even though she's still really young. She cried for days when she found out he had passed. That's why when we had found you she mistook you for him. Claiming the two of you were almost identical. " He said to her before he gazed down at the ground clenching his fists. A moment of silence was placed between them before he clinched his teeth gazing up at the women who had been said to look like his own father. Without saying another word he turned his back on her walking out of the room, closing it shut behind him.
"I'm sorry, Renshu ." She said with clenched hands, wanting so badly to tell him the truth. Who she really was, and yet her grandmother's warnings echoed in her head preventing her from doing so. Without another word, he walked out of the room leaving her there on her own.
Gazing down at her hands she slowly got off the bed. Walking with slow steps she walked over to the open window gazing out at the dark sky. Gazing in awe at all the stars in the sky. Her thoughts running to Renshu recalling the pain his mother must have felt after his father's death. Not being able to have a father in his life. Staring up at the stars her heart felt a bit heavy with so many questions. Questions for no one to answer for her. Her mind filling with image of the large red bird beast and the strange goldened eyed man.
"Why me? Why did you bring me here?"
