Maybe it was the sun that has always attracted me to work in the rice fields instead of becoming one of those geisha always hidden behind curtains, if not, following the soldiers on the field to ease them off.
I have always been content with the duty of being one of the lowly peasants, fetching water and rice for the army- helping and building the structures under anyone's command. At this young age, I knew I was built for hard labor and definitely hands-on service to the Serpent clan. I knew right then and there that I'd be a peasant forever- I have no problem with that.
My name is Akay- a name intended for a male since my father always wanted one; typical for any parent in the Serpent descent. But as I arrived to my early pubescent years, he regretted giving the name to me, his second born daughter- the only one of his offspring that will not be accepted into the army because of her gender. One of the late loyal generals, he wanted to give me up to train as a geisha to serve the high officers. I refused and went out of the caste I am in to a lower rank- that is being a peasant.
Standing five times a feet and maybe seven inches- I work in the pond today, traveling from a hut to the water back and forth with two wooden buckets in both hands, the sweat breaking out and seeping through the cheap rough cotton of the pale gray kimono, my feet bandaged to protect it's rough bare skin- my facial features I have been blessed with from my mother hidden under a wide rimmed and low pointed hat to prevent the sun from striking any further.
But there was a strange stirring down in me; would that even slow me down? Maybe it didn't- but it certainly is starting to blur my thoughts, flashes of flesh appearing inside my blinking eyes.
