Story:

A cold morning breeze was touching her fur and she took a deep breath. Her first night at her new home ground was over and a new morning has begun. Carefully she walked along the little path to the cherry tree hill. <<Come on raise your sword!>>, screamed big blue roan stallion to the young grullo dun mare. The mare jumped aside as the stallion attacked her with his sword. <<You are too slow Xiao Mei. Come on attack me!>>, he ordered her. The young geisha watched them for a moment. *He’s such a handsome stallion.* she thought but she knows that he was already taken. <<Good morning Onei-san>>, a small voice called her and the young mare looked up. The voice belongs to a small foal that's standing right in front of her. It was Chiasako her little sister. She was really surprised when she meets the foal for the first time. She learned that the arts of a geisha are reserved for mares but Chiasako was a little colt and his real name was Kyo. The young mare smiled. <<Good morning Kyo-chan.>> she said and touched the nostrils of the foal gently with her own. <<Where are Nara- and Hina-sensei?>>, the young mare asked and the colt was answering her. <<Nara-sensei is still sleeping. She spends the whole night to calm me down because I was so afraid of the storm… And Hina-sensei went to the Zen garden with Yun Hee- sama and Liang Bao-sama. She said she wanted to prepare the tea for Liang Bao-sama and the other warriors. >>

Last night was a terrible rain storm and the young mare could imagine how frightening the lightnings and the thunder must be for a small foal like Kyo. <<If there will be such a heavy thunderstorm again you can come to me. I will protect you than.>>, she said giving the foal a soft lick on the forehead. <<Thank you Onei-san.>>, said the foal with a smile. The mare smiled and turned her head back to the two warriors who are training. <<Faster! Come on Xiao Mei, I’m your enemy and you need to beat me or you will die.>>, the stallion screamed at the mare and their swords meet each other loudly.

<<Ehm, Onei-san?>>, the foal asked the mare and the young geisha looked back at the foal.<<Don’t you think we need to go to the garden too? I’m sure Hina-sensei need us to prepare everything for your guests no?>> <<Oh yes! Let’s go, I really don’t want her to be angry on us.>>,the young mare said and trotted down the path, the little colt at her tail tips.

In the middle of the Zen garden lays a small tea pavilion. The two maiko’s arrived there together and greeted the other horses inside with a respectful bow.<<You are a bit late.>>, said the oldest of the geisha’s and her wise and gentle eyes where lying on the two young horses. <<We are both really sorry Yun Hee-sama.>> said the young mare and Kyo just nodded his head. The old mare closes her eyes for a moment before she reopened them again and said: <<Amaya.>> The young mare looked at her. <<Yes Yun Hee-sama?>>, she answered and lowered her head respectfully. <<Hinagiku and I we talked to each other last night while you are sleeping. Louis-sama brought you here and presented you to us as a new maiko. We decided that we will accept you in our stable and Hinagiku will be your sensei from now on. >> Amaya looked at the old mare. She couldn’t believe what she heard. She got accepted by the older geisha’s and may stay. <<Thank you very very much Yun Hee-sama. I will give my best to become a good geisha.>>, she said and bowed deeply in front of the mares. <<Does that mean that Amaya will really be my Onei-san now?>>, asked the little colt looking at Hina. The amber champagne mare nodded. Kyo smiled widely and jumped out of joy. <<Chiasako be calm. A geisha would never act like that. She will never show her joy like that in public.>>, said Hinagiku severely and the young foal stopped jumping. <<Forgive me Hina-sensei.>>, he said and lowered his head.
Yun Hee stood up and went over to both young horses. <<As the new big sister of Chiasako you will get a new name related to the name of your little sister.>>, she said to Amaya. << Chiasako, means child of thousand mornings, your new name will be Chiyako, child of thousand nights. You should stay together like day and night. You have to protect your younger sister as much as you can and guide her on the right path. Will you do that Chiyako?>> the young mare lowered her head respectfully and answered: <<I will.>>
