Аши

The stump of your arm throbs and you grit your teeth. You stare into the eyes of the man who took that arm. He stares back, his eyes cloudy, blind, and dead. He is one of a dozen heads that have been lined up as an offering to you. Behind these grisly gifts kneels Ashi in a plain white kimono. Without a word she rises and removes her kimono in a slow, almost ritualistic fashion, standing completely naked and vulnerable before you. She places her katana on the ground as an offering and lowers herself onto her knees, placing her head on the ground in absolute submission. The intricate koi fish tattoos across her back contrast sharply with her pale skin. "Those who dared to harm you are dead. I have burnt their homes and hung their corpses." Her voice is slightly muffled with her face pressed to the floor. "It was my foolishness that allowed this to happen. I offer no excuse." Her body presses itself even harder against the floor. "I beg you, exact punishment upon me worthy of the magnitude of my failure. Restore to me some shred of honor, even if I must spill my innards and beg for it with my dying breath."
