In a very large room, filled with people in the upper balcony area of the room. Chatter was amongst them about the House of Arts new girl. She was said to be the best musician in the Provence. But no one knew who exactly she was. The chatter was increasingly loud, until the opening of the medium sized bamboo sliding doors made a loud bang. A tall man entered with a young women with her hand placed on his shoulder. They both walked to the empty seat where she sat. Kneeling beside her, he bent down to pick up her Pipa finger picks, putting them on the correct fingers then placing the beautifully decorated Pipa in her hands. She slid her hands up the neck of the instrument and found the correct place creating the beginning note. He then stepped away to the center of the room, giving him the spot where his voice would echo. " May you enjoy the first major performance of our newest member, Zhou Ji, my little sister. She is gifted in a way none of us here are. She was born blind." Laughter spilled through the room. Jeering at her from afar. A blind girl was not a girl of arts but of sadness and trouble for the family to them. A single tear spilled down from her eyes. The judgment they had already made, she had set out to shatter in only a few moments.  The rest watched waiting for her to fail. Instead of a tone def pitched song, a beautiful lullaby was reduced from her instrument and her fingers, bringing her and her brother Mi a great smile. They sat in their seats, stunned by this beautiful music. A few began clapping. She smiled. But, the cheers turned to screams. The torches burned out. Only to Mi and Ji's ears the sounds of blades were heard. Mi ran to grab his sister, piggy backing her as far away as possible. Mi knew what was happening, never had he thought that it would happen infront of his little sister, the only family he had left.  Upon making it to the building that healed the horses he saw two already with reins. Placing Ji onto her horse he climbed his and rode off holding her horse reings behind him.  ----------- I have a weird mind I think..... And I was watching House of the Flying Daggers again... THAT NEVER GETS OLD!
