(If anyone can think of good quotes of Shai, add please. Otherwise I think this is done.) |
||
[[Han ShuXen]], an old painter who had tutored Shai as a child, asked her to destroy his masterpiece ''[[Lily of the Spring Pond]]''. ShuXen hated the Rose Empire and didn't want his painting, which he had painted for a woman he once loved, at their hands. He helped Shai create a counterfeit.{{ref|b|tes|day|76}}
Shai managed to destroy the original painting in the Arbiter [[Frava]]'s office near the [[Imperial Gallery]], replaced it with a fake and planted another lower-quality counterfeit in her room in order to hide to theft.{{ref|b|tes|day|30}} With the help of the [[
=== The Emperor's Soul ===
A day before her execution, she is asked by the council of five arbiters to Forge a soul in exchange for her freedom. Shai doesn't think it is possible to create a soulstamp for an entire person's soul in the hundred days they give her at first, but accepts their offer in the hope that it will give her time to escape. She is taken before the Emperor [[Ashravan]] and told that he took a crossbow bolt in the head from the assassins sent by the [[Glory Faction]] and despite surgeons [[resealing]] the wound, he is in a vegetative state. She is told to replace the emperor's soul with a [[Forgery]].{{ref|b|tes|day|2}}
She is given a room barely better than a cell which, over time, she transforms into the
Shai thinks arbiters will kill her even if she fulfills their agreement little before the soulstamp is done and have another Forger finish her work. So she keeps her notes in code. Arbiter Frava comes and takes her notes to show it to her Forger a few times but she always comes back.{{ref|b|tes|day|58}} All the arbiters except Gaotona proposes that she create a backdoor to the emperor's soul that would allow him to be controlled by the arbiters. Shai plays along but eventually doesn't do it.{{ref|b|tes|day|17}}
As her hundreds days pass, Shai is constantly tempted to escape but she wants to complete the emperor's soul as well.{{ref|b|tes|day|76}} In day ninety-seven, little before she finishes the soulstamp, she enacts her plan to get past the Bloodsealer. Next day, Captain [[Zu]] tries to kill her. She has been expecting the attack from one of the guards, so she manages to survive it with the help of the traps she has created. She escapes from her room and makes her way to where Ashravan is staying. She applies the soulstamp to him and finds out it works, a feat the likes of which has never been done according to Shai. Gaotona comes and gives back her Essence Marks back to her.{{ref|b|tes|day|98}} Using them, she escapes from the palace. It later turns out that she didn't Forge Ashravan's soul exactly the way it was and made small changes.{{ref|b|tes|epilogue}}

However, at times, she is tempted by a simple life where she doesn't have to hide or lie.{{ref|b|tes|day|26}} She constantly quotes her '''Uncle Won''' and '''Aunt Sol''' although they don't really exist.
