OOC:This is closed for badmatt and myself
Days ago I had been working in the rice patties with my mother and younger brother. that's when the soldiers came. there was a confusion in my mother's eyes I had never seen before. Debt. We were in debt to the state. Imperialistic china was coming to claim what we own them. The land or something of value. We had nothing of value since my father died a year ago on my 18th birthday. We used all that we could find of value to give him the proper burial he deserved.
I watched the discussion a bit longer then turned back to my work. The sounds of horses came up behind me. I could hear the screams of my mother as a hand came and scooped up my small frame. I tried to fight but soon felt a blow to my head and blacked out from there.
I awoke to find my self naked bound and in a velvet bag. I tried to scream but my head hurt every time I tried. I felt the movenent as if being carried. With a thud I was set down. I heard voices as I saw the slight throught he opening of the bag get larger and the shadow of three men, from what I could tell, stood around gawking. One summoned the others to leave and the view cleared as I came to realize where I was. this was the imperial palace of China and the one who stood above me was the prince.
