Snippet #1430243

It was a clear day, she was in the garden of her Aunts house practicing some fighting moves, she held her fans in her two hands. Moving slowly she stretched her arm out in front of her, with a flick of her wrist she brought the fan up to cover her face while bringing her other hand around. It was a defensive move. And if you hit the right point on your opponent you could take them to their knees, very effective. Rika flicked her wrists and closed the fans, tucking them into a pocket on her robe she looked across the garden to see her elderly Aunt watching her. The lady just stood there, not moving, Rika made her way over to her, "Sometimes I forget you are a Warrior, you could easily be a lady of the city,"

Rika smiled, "And do what? Serve tea to people and listen to gossip?" Her Aunt just shook her head reaching out she touched her left arm, her eyes briefly went to the swirled lines that scarred her skin, then back her her face, "You are getting stronger, it won't be long before you are leaving me." Rika placed her hand over her Aunts, "You have been good to me, and besides... I like it here, nice people, good food," the last part was a lie. She hated the city, yes there was much to do but the quiet of the Country side was peaceful. She could focus there. Her aunt was smiling again, "Well then, shall we have some tea then?" Rika just nodded, and followed her aunt inside, "That sounds great... after that maybe I'll write to Kali," she took one last look outside before walking in. For some odd reason she couldn't shake the feeling something was stirring. And it wasn't good.
