Farewell My Concubine

The trip away from Ireem had been a long and sorrowful one... I paused to rest only once on this journey. Eastward, I headed... to a tiny island called Cacao. Ah, I recall it was a mystical place... something of which amazes me even as I think back. On first glance it appeared to be untouched by mankind.

Needless to say I almost thought I was on the wrong island... that is when an odd figure in a dark indigo hued robe approached me. The woman appeared blind... yet said she had been waiting for me. She lead me to a small hut covered in moss. There, in exchange for a noir ocean pearl, she gave me a small vial.

"Take this once you return to the place you call home. Think of the one you wish to forget. Only take this if you are serious... as this might cause you to forget large parts of your life that were tied in with this person"

In truth, I didn't pay much attention to this warning... in fact I ended up drinking the vial the moment I found another safe island to rest... big mistake!

I recall... everything seemed to go dark. Waking up after.. I really don't know how much time had past. Yet, I didn't waist to quickly search my mind... I could remember Kito... him leaving for Nippon. Mhmm... then emptiness. Darkness...  at that point I simply had to stop! How my head hurt so... I could recall returning to the seas with Kito, but not the full reason why.

Another odd result, is that my hair had turned the strange shade of people... faded pale opal towards the end. Blahh... I have a bad feeling about all this. But... if I went through the trouble of all of this... it worked after all! And now I feel so much better...free from something I feel that was constraining me. Mmhmm... whoever that might be. I know I can try to find out who by simply looking back... but I figure if I went through so much trouble to forget ... there is no real reason to try to remember what or whoever I wanted out of my mind that badly...
