One Silver Promise

A millennium-long promise. A millennium-long curse. Chiyo, the lady who was born with a sliver hair, has been given the promise that needs to be completed. She swore on herself that she would fulfil it, no matter what. It is the only thing, the only reason for her to live. Because, she knows the curse cannot be undone. Never love someone. Never learn to cherish. In that way, you can always protect yourself from loneliness. She taught herself these things a long time ago, but her longing cannot be contained anymore. Set in the period where people value status, wealth and power. As time passed, her story was long forgotten in the history. "I am still waiting."
