The Lady's Disciple
tearfulessence
She had lived as a shaman who served Asteria, goddess of stars since she was young.
It was a life where she drew amulets and kept her face hidden beneath a swung fan in daylight, then later unsheathed a sword under the blankets of stars.
She believed her beloved goddess would protect her from the sorrows of life, and inevitably, her downfall.
But her death came in an instant.
She had lived as the treasured shaman all her life, but she was unable to sustain her life-force and died at the hands of a blackened demon.
But somehow, even being killed by his hand, she was unable to deny the deep sorrow pooled in his crystal eyes.
She was reborn as 'Leticia Vailot' and started a new life.
Having her soul tied to her killer with a red ribbon of fate, she decided she would protect him from the trauma and pains of his childhood.
The demon that had crossed into her realm, and somehow drawn her into his.
