A women is scene dancing, everyone is infatuated by her. One Men calls her over, but a guard stops him. He shrug his hand and told him to leave him. A women walk in asking why the men was disturbing the environment. The men drunkly told her, he just wanted the lady to pour him more drink.
” that’s not part of her job, please understand that.”.
The women turn to the guards before telling him to kick the men out. He look at the young women with short hair, that looks like a Bob. She smile, ” she is our most prize possession. We don’t know where she come from, or who she is, but the gods blessed us with her.”
” indeed they have” the voice said

The men laugh ” I wouldn’t take all the credit. Charuvaki seems to be popular, even though she’s mute”
” your right, she has improve greatly in her dancing skill. She’s more talented then you think.”
The king smirk, ” she is a mystery, but we will keep it that way. Its best for her not to remember her past.”

When the dance was over, Charuvaki went on her break. The next dancer showed up. She sat down in her room and wipe the sweat. While staring she wonder where the scar on her shoulder came from. She removes her clothes and look at the scar. She touch it, and suddenly got a headache.
She held on to something, before calming her racing heart. When it was over, she put her new clothes on and step out.
