I was born for lace
He was built for war
I was born for lace. A privilege, I am told.
Our land is called The Cradle. A society with a strict trade structure that ensures we each have a meaningful purpose.
My purpose is companionship.
I am given to Teacher, and I'll be his until I die. Fortunately, he is a kind man who showers me with knowledge far beyond what is traditionally given to a lace girl.
But when I find him dead in bed with the word 'run' scribbled on the mattress, I realise the dangers in my situation. I outlived him; that never happens. The Xin De, the evolved ones, live for centuries.
So although the outside world is dangerous, with violent, sand-laden winds that could fill my lungs like an hourglass, I do as Teacher ordered.
I run.
I run straight into the path of the largest man I have ever seen. He's the closest to hell I'll ever be. Cruel. Violent. Murderous. And he lives by his own rules. I didn't know we could do that.
