Before Kai entered his father's tent he paused to clear his mind and and laughed to himself "a goddess?" .
"Kai get your ass in here!" Soka's booming voice traveled through out the village. "Yes sir..." Kai slowly entered the tent with his eyes to the floor.
"Abandoning your post!! for what?? to hunt?? what have you to show for it!?"Soka shouted in a rage
"nothing sir" Kai tensed his body for he knew what was coming next. A powerful clenched fist to face , Kai fell to the ground with a bloody mouth, never looking up to see his father's disfigured face keeping his eyes glued to the floor. Soka grabbed Kai by his hair and lifted him to his feet "you're bleeding, clean yourself up and never leave your post unless you're directed to!!..... am i clear Kai!!!"
"yes sir" Kai responded keeping his eyes to the floor. "Don't let this happen again" Soka said as he threw him out the tent, looking down at him with his look of disappointment before he stormed back in to the tent.
Kai regaining his composure as he stood up came face to face with Sai-Ko
"You look like shit" Sai-Ko laughed
"leave me alone you promised that you'd cover for me, how did he know I was gone?" Kai said as he walked away returning to his post....."Sai-Ko is a good brother, he's been taking care of me since our mom passed I bet our father punched in his face too" Kai sat down on a bolder where he was to be stationed,
Kai and Sai-ko sons of the Chief and Saki. Saki was a beautiful gentle woman, with hair dark as the night sky, freckles across her face and skin like honey. In a male dominated environment a woman's voice was never heard, her opinion was never acknowledged , a woman true existence was to cater to a man.
Saki's beauty made Soka long for her and so made her the wife of the Chief. No one was to gaze at her beauty but him, and so he kept Saki confined to her quarters, not long after she gave birth to her first Son Sai-Ko who she called her strong one ,he instantly became the heir to become chief.... 3 years later Saki gave birth to Kai whom she called her intelligent one, Saki was happy as she saw her boys grow, years later she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Soka wasn't pleased as he believed women were just objects and commanded that Saki get rid of the baby girl.... Saki begged and pleaded to keep her daughter but it wasn't up for discussion and so he grabbed the infant from her arms and threw the newborn babe out to the tent, Saki ran out the tent to her daughter who was crying and screaming on the earth's surface. Soka instantly snapped, Saki was outside, his woman was outside everyone was looking at her, they saw her beauty, "get inside!! leave that thing outside to die" he shouted at her, dragging her to the tent. Holding her daughter she shouted at Soka "you are a monster, may the gods never look down on you.... you will never find happiness" On hearing their mother screaming the boys came running to see what was wrong ,to see their mother being dragged across the yard towards the tent.....
Soka looked down at his wife, crying as she clutched the babe, "Then die with it" he said as he pulled his blade from his side, the boys realized what was going on and ran to their mother's side, seconds before they could reach her, Soka lower his blade on her splattering her blood over her Sons "let your God's take care of you now" Saki's and her babe lifeless body fell to the floor. The boy's ran to her body crying , Soka looked down at her body being held by the two boys "you have no mother, stop crying leave that body"
Kai sitting on his bolder reminiscing thinking of his mother. Kai believed that women deserved to be treated better and that his father was wrong, but none could stand up to him single handed he was a force to be reckoned with...
Looking up to the mountains as the sunset Luna crossed his mind, "Goddess, beautiful white haired goddess" he smiled to himself, suddenly he saw the light again, the pink glow disappeared into the mountain again... "I have to see her again" he taught to himself looking around, it was quiet and darkness was about to cover the earth and off he ran, hoping to find Luna again.
