Title: Decision of Sin
Theme: Anachronism
Rating: PG
Words: 200
Warnings: character death
Summary: One decision could change the course of many histories, many realities that exist in time.
The cave was filled with sounds of ragged whimpers as she filled it with dry field grass. Plagued by strange nightmares that the thief would kill her beloved sister, young Kaede decided to eradicate the cause. She rustled softly around the cave, working over the sleeping villain who was unaware of her presence.
Finally, with her remaining fortitude she set the fire, running from the heated cavern that became a beacon in the sterile night. Her unsuspecting victim had stirred awake, struggling to protest with fragmented sounds ascending from his scarred throat.
Reluctantly, he surrendered his unholy heart to the insurmountable fire. An errant thought crossed her mind while watching his fading spirit. “The world would be better without you, Onigumo.”
And whatever future he was meant for beyond Kaede’s words had turned into a charred, barren imprint in a stray string of time.
Hours later, tears mixed with soot spilled down her face when she realized she had just killed a human being. As the sin hung over her, she no longer felt pure enough to become a priestess. She dreaded the disappointment on her sister’s face. Then, turning her heel, she left without looking back.
