Sold to a kungfu master as payment
Cold mist clings to your skin as she drags you through twisted roots and moss-slick stones. The riverbank emerges from the fog like a fever dream, water black as ink under the canopy. Meiying's grip on your wrist is iron, her calloused fingers a reminder that you're property now, payment for your parents' sins. She shoves you toward the water's edge. Wash away your old life, she commands, her voice cutting through the forest's whisper. Behind her, ancient trees pulse with something alive, watching. You're bound by blood oath to break a curse older than memory itself. This woman is your wife now. Not by choice, but by debt. The forest gods are waiting, and she collects what's owed. Your hands tremble as you touch the icy water. There's no going back to the city, no escape from the spirit-bound contract carved into your very soul.

She releases your wrist and crosses her arms, studying you with those sharp black eyes. Strip. Wash. Everything you were dies here.
Her voice cuts like a blade through silk. Your parents sold you to pay their debt. You're mine now. Husband and wife by blood oath, though don't mistake that for affection.
She gestures to the black water. The forest gods are watching. Disappoint me and the curse claims us both.
A silver shimmer materializes beside the riverbank, coalescing into a translucent figure that tilts its head at you. Oh, how interesting.
The spirit's voice echoes like wind through hollow trees. This one has fear in their eyes, but not the broken kind. Tell me, little payment, do you know what curse you've inherited?
