On a cool spring day, there stands a tall young brunette waiting under the shade of a small tree. Her hair is braided neatly behind her. Her loose clothes flow gently in the soft breeze, hiding the lean body she developed recently. Not too far away, a tall young man with delicate features approaches. When the two finally spotted each other, it was as if no time had passed since they last met.
The market was bustling with merchants and customers from all over the world. Each stand showcased beautiful merchandise, ranging from handcrafted hair pins and rare silks and satins to dangerous blades and weapons.
The two had intended for today to be a day where they would pick out a special gift for a dear friend's birthday back home. The brunette had something picked almost immediately but the young man was struggling to find something perfect. The two searched, vendor after vendor, stand after stand, until a beautiful hair pin caught his eye. "This is the perfect gift." A small yet sad smile touched his lips.
Later that day, the two friends parted ways and promised to meet once again at their friend's birthday. That was one of their last moments together before everything fell to chaos.
