The two things (or people, I should say) I left behind were my ex-companions, Jing and Fa. We grew up together, and for a while, I really thought we would always be there for each other. But then they..changed. In the end, it did not work out.
[My father was the emperor of China and he had wanted a son whom he could pass the reigns to after he had passed. I am sure you can imagine his surprise when the doctor informed him that his first born child was a girl. He was, of course, disappointed. It was already quite difficult for my mother to bear children, so my father had to make do with what he had. And so, I was to be raised as a boy.]
My cousin Mei and I had never seen eye to eye. My dreams were her reality. Day after day, I would see her pass my room. Whether she was playing with dolls or wearing her feminine kimono, I felt envious. I was completely astounded when, one day, she told me that she was jealous of me. When I asked her why, she told me it was because everyone treated her like she was an inconvenience. So when she saw how the family praised me and payed attention to me, she felt heartbroken. After we got over that hurdle, we soon became fast friends.
Ever since I can remember, I have had the ability to see and communicate with the dead. They often come to me for help, so I do the best that I possibly can. This can mean finding out how they died, telling their loved ones that they're O.K., or any other way that can help the spirits to move on/rest in peace.
