A tower sits atop a mountain,a mountain that goes up as though a hand reaches for the sky . Going down the mountain are houses,shops, utility buildings, and homes to many ,you would think this was a small city or a small village, but it wasn't . The old historical buildings stood in a time where they wouldn't be called historical but modern, but the most interesting building of all in this small ecosystem was naturally the huge tower above everything , the tower was adorned with jade on its pillars and a roof that reached for heaven it was a sight to behold . All these buildings and land that flowed with the clearest river and thrived with the richest trees and fruit belonged to one clan , the kaizon clan, in this age they were one of the six most important families in all the land .

Now no one would dare envy the wealth of these families because the wealth was only fair for them to have, these six families were responsible for the order of the land ,and keeping powers that could decide fate, battles , a future and destiny . They were called the “flower keepers” each family responsible for the powers of one of the six divine flowers placed on the land by powers incomprehensible.
The flowers bloomed and so did the bearers .

But with every flower holding power that supported life, the kaizon clan was different. They were not hated by the people, but they were not beloved like the other flower keepers, for the power they held was not to grant wealth or support health or aid growth or provide for those who sought.
The power the grey lily bestowed to the kaizon clan was simply.. death.

The villagers feared the kaizon clan, they were walking reapers ,no one would dare anger them. But the villagers' worries were misguided and fueled on ignorance,for not every member of a clan of flower keepers had such power; it would only ever be one chosen in a generation to harness this power and use it to balance the world. And now the flower had chosen it's next unfortunate bearer, the young daughter of the head of the clan was the heir to the power . Upon the day of her birth the flower instantly bonded with her, departing her father immediately and choosing who it decided was a more fitting host.
The father knew what he had to do, he watched the baby with pride yet sorrow and maybe another unrealised feeling within him?, he knew her life would have to be different . As soon as the child could walk he taught her not to run around , as soon as she could talk he taught her not to sing, she must limit her tongue and restrain her limbs,for she was not a child she was a walking weapon of death that must be controlled.

But 17 long years of cultivating her spirit, perfecting her character and perfecting her skills would all look to fade away . As the fall crept in that fateful year the tower that stood tall above the mountains , where the little girl had grown and learnt and worked and done nothing other than building oneself was about to fall apart and be crushed into nothing but dust.
The fires were set and blazing violently. The beautiful houses and the beautiful trees, all the way up the mountain and towards the top of the tower, the fire spread. Heading straight for the top, the people panicked and fled and some fought back, this was not an unfortunate accident, it was an attack , an attack on their very lives, a betrayal that felt inconceivable but they had to fight the intruders and maybe escape ,but it was hopeless they were completely caught off guard and everyone will meet what their family name had always stood for.
But atop the tower ,at the highest peak ,in the highest room , the girl and her father fought off the corrupted flower keeper who had achieved so much power he was unstoppable, the fire moved up the tower with him, clearing every floor ,his men moved down the mountain,erasing any thing left of the kaizon clan ,the man moved like he was possessed but he was in full control and moved with pure intent. The girl and her father will have to accept their end and hand over the last divine flower he wanted …no , needed. The girl was not worried she had trained all her life and had grown into the most effective and feared assassin that served the king and the kingdom, her mastery over her powers were better than anyone before her and anyone who would come after.
She was ready to fight ,along side the man who raised her , she could trust him as they stood off the power drunk intruder at the final room, surely both of them would be able to stop him here. Her father stood prepared as well his left arm hidden in his robe, concealing the weapon he was going to use to cut down the enemy. The girl was ready , she would achieve something great here and stop a great evil and finally she will be seen for something good by her peers, her family and everyone who ever called her the devil's right hand, she would strike down this evil man and clean her image.

She braced once more then charged to attacked the enemy, her father who stood in front of her suddenly turned around unveiling the weapon hidden in his robe and stabbed his own daughter directly in the heart, ensuring death, there was no dagger sharper , there was no strike more precise, his eyes were cold, his face showed no remorse , his hands not a single bit shaken. The girl looked at him in shock ,she couldn't form any words. She reached her hand to grab his shoulder, a gesture that screamed ‘why?’ . The man moved away letting her body drop to her knees, no words said , no answers given ,the father turned back around and faced the corrupted flower keeper, who was equally shocked , but mostly enraged .
*Who was really corrupted between the two?*, the girl thought to herself in her final moments , her father never loved her, she could accept it now, he sacrificed her for the power of the flower to go back to him , the last heir of the clan ,the rightful bearer of the divine flower, the one who always looked at her with a dissatisfied face, she never quite reached the standards he expected, she was a failure. So much of a failure she would die a sad death ,alone with no friends, no family, no one to remember her and no one to love her, she had never been protected even once in her life,she was always the threat and even now she was the burden ,she had to be eliminated to ensure victory. The woes of a child destined to be a sacrificial lamb.

But now she had no memories of all of that , all she knew now was that she was a person who randomly woke up in a strange room with a bright screen and three young men who seemed malicious. She was afraid and felt bitter and resentful ,she did the only thing she knew how to do. She did the reaper's job and showed them death’s gate.
she dragged herself out of the room , kicking down the strange door she did not understand,struggling to walk upright and still feeling a bitterness and hate she could not understand the source of, she exited the building with looks from people who sat at the lobby , she went outside and the first building she looked at had a huge sign with lights that blinded her as though it was the sun itself on land of man, she winced and had to blink to adapt to the light, the neon streets booming with music that was all strange to her, and streets with more people than she had ever seen in a place at a time, she was even more afraid now, where was this place? And why was she here? She had to get out , she panicked and dragged herself as fast as she could ,off into the dark alleyways of the contrastingly vibrant buildings ,walking away with a limp ,almost like a dog wounded and left to bleed …..

How sad it was ,could a person really die twice? Cos she did not feel alive , she did not remember why , but she just knew she hated this time of the year, the cold weather that felt half warm made her skin crawl . After all ,it was the fall, the worst time to be alive.
