Zaiyuan's face was cold as he looked through the ranks of young men who were doing rounds at the fortress. Young men who were not the hardened veterans he was hoping for. Truly he had always stationed the harder soldiers towards the opposite of Jungpi from Caiwong as at the frontier was where the tribes were all canabalistic savages. The grizzened generals were all gone but one who was standing behind him, Kong Bai, with a lanky son in tow, Kong Su.The son was no flower either as he had been trained by the same Master Guo. The scars of his time were visible on his face as he twitched around the twisting scars on his face. The skin that was supposed to cover his eye was missing and the tendons and soft tissues were stretched taunt against what had been burned and missing. When the boy was in closer company he would take off the white jade that had been carved as it's color was close to that of skin. Now that they were in the pres

"There is news, sir." A messenger bowed low as he handed the missive to Ning Zhuo. "You can take your leave. I don't need to return any message other than the one to the emporer." "His majesty has sent an imperial decree that you should also read. I was told to recommend this to you and I apologize if I offend you. You may discipline your servant as you see fit." "Leave me alone, close the door behind you. I will not whip a man who brings me words from people I am kin to. You have not spoken out of turn, but I am still in a ferocious mood." "Would you like some tea?" "Do we have the Jungpi tea?" "Of course sir." "Bring me a pot of it as soon as it is boiled." After the servant closed the door behind him, Ning Zhuo opened the missive: the second princess of jungpi was seen outside the gates of the fortress smoking a deer with a young lieutenant. they were intimate.

The taste of his own blood was new to him as Ning Zhuo slipped in and out of consciousness. Some of the memories were sweet. There was the cry of a baby as he held it and someone cooed, "good girl, good girl, can you say father?" There was a garbled voice followed by a laugh as the cooing continued. "Good girl, good girl, don't these snacks taste good? Do you want to share them with dad when he wakes up." The blood dribbled out of his mouth and trailed down his neck as he started to remember darker things. His wife hanging by a noose around her neck as he walked in. How did she get so high up if there was no chair around her. The skeletons of the side court as he entered for the first time, there was so much dirt there blowing about. Someone really needed to sweep in there. Why hadn't he told someone to do it regularly? Yan Sha leaving him again and again and again, her hands around his neck screaming wrenching, telli

Caiwong advanced forward on the third day, like it had been foretold. Zaiyuan watched from the ramparts as the catapults were pulled forwards. He tensed as the archers rained down on the approaching soldiers easily. The bodies started to pile up on the ground and the rivers were stained with the war color. It was a shock of bright against the dismally colored molted ground. As the horses started to come, Zaiyuan saw one rider leave their gate and start riding along the side with a sword and cut the ropes along the ground. She was wearing a man's riding uniform here as she struggled with the weight of the sword in her hand. The gesture was probably for him to make the prince consort look more than a man who wore neutral colored silks and bowed before his queen. The helmet flew off her face as she flew with a vengence toward the enemy.As the ropes were cut, the ground around the approaching troops started to collapse and s

In a pool of inky black water, the consistantly of soot, sat Yan Sha with her body contorting in inhuman shapes. Bending and unbending as her body moved like a demented spider in a circle. Her back arched in and around like it was a stick bending close to breaking. All the vertabrae in her back were thrust out as the shadows on her back were shifting all around. The lion on her back which had been poked so beautifully, now looked like a tangled web where the lion was stuck in the midst of it angrily clawing through points.All around the pool, Langhua and Yan Ming looked at her wailing form with concern as there were shadows following every movement as if Yan Sha was moving very quickly all at once instead of hardly at all. Her back contorted with her arms running up and down her body as inky splashes poured out of her back tattoos. Yan Sha hacked and coughed out the same thick viscous fluid. Her eyes were blown with the same black ink colo

Langhua poured tea into the leaves she had arranged neatly in the cup as she looked out over the view in her manicured pavilion. The servants had replaced all the dead flowers now with white ones and all the flowers from Caiwong had been thrown out. Who knew where the maids had hid them, but she did want the atmosphere to feel as home as she could. She signed as Yan Sha's blackened eyes were turned to her as she looked demonically at the cup in front of her. The cup was placed closer to Yan Sha such that Langhua could avoid touching her. "My dear, I know that you frighten yourself when you look in the mirror, but this is a temporary change. I was like this when my father died. Sometimes these qualities are needed to keep us away from things that are not for us." "I know you mean well. I also understand whom it is that you are talking about. I am doing my best and this is the reward for not touching the very

Ning Ren licked his lips as he looked through the letters that had been intercepted by his agents. Maybe today his efforts would finally be recognized. It was so beautiful to see the fruits of his labor in front of the only person he wanted to get praise from. In a pile in the corner were all the letters that Ning Zhuo had tried to send to Jungpi. The emporer sat opposite who personally slid open several letters and read them."Such a good boy this child has been. It's unfortunate that he could be ruined so." As he kept a letter open, he turned to Ning Ren. "Has there been any reply from the other side? This threat needs to be removed if the dreams of our forefathers should come to be accomplished.""Wei, Yan, Jungpi . . . shall all fall by dominos. Brother is befuddled by women. He has really lost his touch as he pours his heart out in these letters. It's very fortuitous that his heart--"The emporer's eyes

"You're packing? I was wondering when you would be feeling well enough to get up. Now you're getting ready to hit the road with dirt and danger. I wouldn't have believed it if I had not come myself." Langhua said quietly as she had not let the servants come in to warn that princess that she was coming in. "Are you sure that you're ready? I understand that you have a lot of emotions running through you which is why you're taking so much longer to heal. How much we can help you does have it's limits as we have sent you outside where we knew little of what was happening to you. I can see it all over your skin and eyes. It's very unusual that it hasn't changed to your normal eyes and coloring by now. I do worry about you, but the monks who are responsible for this type of enchantment won't be in Jungpi again as they are traveling. The imperial physicians will just call in an exorcist which is their own lack of skills.&nbs

Ning Zhuo rushed through the doors of his brother, Ning Qi's house in the capital city of Caiwong. He was stopped by the manor's guards and there was a brief tussle between his own guards and that of his brother's. Both pulled out their swords and stood off against each other as they waited for orders from their respective princes. Ning Zhuo was furious that people would even dare question why he would come here. This was the capital city for goodness sake? Did they not see that he was presenting his own token which was bestowed upon him by the empoer?Ning Qi rushed to the front to see what all the fuss was about but finally crossed his arms and sighed. "All men of crown prince will wait outside. Crown prince will only be protected by his closest servant. Anyone who disobeys will be caned or be sent to be tortured at the palace dungeon. I'm not kidding this time as I have a serious matter to discuss with the crown prince

"So this scrawny welp is what my cousin adopted into our illustrious line?" The gruff voice was strange as Yan Sha sat up. She was wrapped in furs and her inner garments had been removed. The furs were bound around her body with little pieces of twine that itched against her exposed skin. She had a strong urge to remove everything so the texture of the soft fur was undisturbed, or even better to ask for soft inner clothes. There was light seeping through an opening in the flap to the tent and it smelled strongly of grilled meat. She put her hand over her face as the flap was tightly wrenched closed and the torches were lit showing the scar marked face of the chieftain.Yan Sha squealed and wrapped the furs more tightly around herself. She squinted as her eyes adjusted to a much thinner woman standing behind the chieftain whose skin was marked in the same way that she was. Yan Sha gingerly moved and pointed. "Why do you loo
