*while waiting for @Lady Wen and @Song Lan she starts engaging in a conversation with Nie HuaiSang* Ouh shes fine now, shes currently resting in her room. Poor thing must have been tired over all the excitement earlier. *she pauses and thinks for a while before her brows scruch as if shes in a deep thought* Sect Leader Nie... be honest with me, what do you think of the situation at hand?! @Xue Yang and @Jiang YanLi suddenly came back out of nowhere... Whats the meaning behind all of this?! Is there a bigger picture to all of this and we're missing it?! If they where able to come back... then what's stopping us from thinking over the possibility of others coming back from the dead.
Narrator Mode On Wanting to know Sect Leader @Nie Huaisang opinion of the recent events Lady @Yue Jiang's asks the primary questions that were surely in the characters minds. Meanwhile Lady Wen... Narrator Mode Off Excuse me while I go have a conversation with myself yet again
*Wanders around blindly in the Jiang Sect.* ... I was too busy being embarrassed to realise I didn't even ask Lady @Yue Jiang where Daozhang is... *Sighs* If only Weny Bear @Wen Ning was here he'd definitely know... *Wandering around blindly some more she heard rustling noises not too far across the lake. Squinting her eyes she then walked hurriedly across.* Daozhang!! Found you!
*Startled at suddenly being called out he quickly placed Xao XingCheng's pouch back. Turning around, he was greeted by Lady Wen, he returned the greeting by curtly nodding his head*
*With a smile on her face, she asked...* I hope you don't mind the interruption Daozhang. Sect Leader @Nie Huaisang wishes to see you. I've come to escort you to where they are Lady @Yue Jiang is there too.
*Nodding, he took out the walking stick and on the ground wrote...* Nie Huisang? Sect Leader of Qinghe Nie Sect? Wishes to see me?
*Nodding enthusiastically she went on...* Yes, Sect Leader Nie wishes to see you. Don't worry it's not anything bad~ Sect Leader is very kind up close. He might just have a couple of questions to ask you concerning Young Master @Xue Yang....if Daozhang does not mind.
Yes! She's there~ Let's head out then. *Walking side by side she sneaked a glance every now and then where Xao XingChen's pouch is placed. Even though Song Lan had placed the pouch in a hurry back she saw him from a distance holding the pouch and staring at it. Curiosity overwhelming her she carefully asked...* Daozhang ZiChen, is Daozhang XingChen alright?
*Grabbing the pouch out again and stopped. Staring at the pouch on his hands worriedly. Since becoming a fierce corpse he had long since lost the ability to feel warmth or cold. However, a third sense of his felt that something was off. With his walking stick he wrote a brief explanation to Lady Wen*
*Reading his brief explanation she asked...* Daozhang, would you allow me to hold the pouch for a moment?
*Looking at the outstretch hand he was a bit hesitant but knowing there wasn't much he could do himself. He gently placed the pouch on Lady's Wen's palms*
*As soon as the pouch was on her palms. Her eyes widened in surprise...the pouch containing Xao XingChen's soul was warm. Incredibly warm, it was as there was a ball of fire on her palms.* What in the heavens?
*Seeing her shocked expression he quickly scribbled down* What's wrong Maiden Wen? Is XingChen alright?
*Hearing her words he became even more worried. Quickly snatching the pouch from Lady Wen's palms. But, then all of a sudden the pouch started to shine. The light became bigger eventually engulfing the two...*
Narrator Mode on As Song Lan and Lady Wen were heading back to where Lady Jiang and Sect Leader Nie were. A sudden bright light burst out from the pouch containing @Xiao XingChen's soul. Now, over to where @Nie Huaisang and @Yue Jiang are... Narrator Mode off Fill free to jump in @Xiao XingChen
Where am I?! It was cold And dark But above it all it was terribly lonely. Time seemed like an illusion, he didnt know where he was or how long he'd been in here. He was aware he was dead, but how did this came to be exactly? He pondered over this question while he drifted in this vacuum of space... After all there's nothing he could do except think. He was able to piece certain memory fragments together, with much difficulty and remembered who he was; he was a cultivator, his identity was Daozhang Xiao XingChen, disciple of BaoSan Sanren... and it appeared that he'd gone against his Masters wish and went down the mountain in order to help the common people and seek out justice for the innocent. A righteous cultivator who wanted to put his abilities and knowledge to use instead of letting them rust away on a mountain top. But that's it. That's all he remembers. I guess is more appropriate to say that that's all he can piece together. Some memory fragments were unclear, obscured and corrupted. Something bad must have happen to him if his former self, when alive, would want to concel and lock them. He... He wanted to remember, but was hesitant... Should he respect his former self's wish? Or should he unseal them and take a look? He wanted to know... but did he need to know?! They say somethings are better off forgotten, but is being ignorant a blessing or a sin?! Either way he cant see into these memories, so there's no point even if he where to make a conclusive decision... He wanted to return! He could discern enough soul fragments floating around with him in this vaccum, it was possible to piece himself back together again however, it wasn't that simple. Spiritual power or something of some sorts was needed in order to piece himself back. Some time passed again, (he didnt know how much) but then he felt a strong course of power float around him in the vacuum from an unknown source and rapidly took advantage of the opportunity. Something felt off in this energy, but didn't think too much of it. After a long while he was able to successfully do it. White light filled the vacuum. Then it was dark again. However, behind his eyelids he could sense light and feel light. Opening his eyes he saw green. It was grass. Looking at his knees he noticed he was kneeling. Hearing gentle noises on his left he saw blue. It was a river. And finally he sensed the precense of two individuals before him. Raising his head ever so slightly he took in the people before him. It was a lady dressed in red and a young man dressed in black.
*As the light gradually dims he could make out a figure before him. As he stared at the figure in disbelief he slowly staggered forward mouthing the words Xiao XingChen over and over again.*
