Portrayal of Aki

The sweet scent of flowers flow through Aki's memories of her childhood.  The sight of the soft branches of the trees flowing in the wind and the pale buds of flowers drifting down the currents of the stream began to fade in her mind, but the strong scent that flowed through the air and filled her lungs never left.  If she closes her eye and breathes in, she can remember the sound of the water dancing and the clang of swords in the distance that filled the days of her innocent years of life.  The blossoms danced in the breeze accompanying in her empty loneliness until the day for her to hold the sword came.  For the rest of her life, the blossoms and the tree became a distant memory, fogging and fading as time passed.
