The Journey to the East The Journey to the Future The Journey to the End

Epilogue Part 2

You see, I'm not really done with this story yet as it isn't a suitable place to end (MANY KNOTS ARE LEFT UNTIED) so lemme tie them all up before I head on to the next story

I may or may not be holding a competition which awards you nothing at all. 

And what exactly is the competition going to be about, you ask. DRUM ROLL PLEASE (I no add sound effect here just play it in your head), A DRAWING COMPETITION. Yes you heard that right. Whether or not you are talented or just want to try new things out, you can participate in it. What will you be drawing? You will be DESIGNING the characters in the book. This being said, there is no skin (yet) that fits into the story context, and it's up to your imagination. I will post my favourites up here for people to picture the scene better. If you could colour, GREAT. It can be in the form of a pencil and paper drawing, online drawing, or anything else you can think of. I probably should not be telling you this now, but when the story actually begins so yeah. 

Maybe it helps you anticipate the next book more? I dunno. 

I mean, entries are invited (if and when I hold the competition)! Just PM me :)

I think I should start this already (the story at the bottom may not hit the 600-word word count, but it wasn't supposed to actually exist either so YEAH.)

Ling's POV

I grabbed Natalia by her hand, and flew off to the headquarters again. I sense their presence, I can feel it. I don't know how, I don't know why. All I know is that someone is out to kill me, for whatever reason. 

"OH LING~," Someone called, from not so far away. 

I didn't know what was coming for me, but if they want to kill me, they'll have to get past me first. 

"Natalia, you go first," I told her, knowing that they would not let her off that easily either. 

She shook her head and stood rooted to the cobblestone ground in the alleyway. Her claws out, reflecting the light from the dim moonlight. She had my back, I thought.

I could hear their footsteps nearing, their nonsensical aura filling the dark alleyway along with their laughter and chatters. I mean, anyone would sense their arrival with a guy the size of at least three of me squashed together. Keyword: at least. It's just a matter of fact whether they know who those noisy idiots are or not.

Just before they came, I felt a sharp pain on the side of my neck. 

And fell. 

At the feet of Natalia. 

"I know you still have her in your heart, never once did you like me for real, never once did you stop thinking of her, NEVER! I never had a place in your heart, did I? Anyways, since you love her so much, GO JOIN HER IN HELL!" She screamed, a teardrop forming in her eye. 

I felt the loss of blood gaining in speed, and slowly, my eyelids were glued shut. 

A sudden plonk of wetness was felt on my face, after which I couldn't feel anything any longer. 

3rd Person's POV

By the time Zilong and Baxia arrived, Ling was already out cold. His ballerina-worthy body no longer warm. 

"Uh, what do we do about him?"

"I dunno, ask your sister."

"Um."

"Um?"

"Where is she though?"

"Do I look like I would know? She's your sister not mine."

"She's probably bringing Wanwan back up there to get back into her original body."

"Do you think we should do that to this dead bird?" 

"Yeah." 

"Question is, where is his internal dan?" 

"Probably in the place where the light never shines." 

"So, um, you wanna cut it open?"

"Nah."

"Then what are you planning to do?" 

"Cut it off."

[Insert Baxia's meme face of extreme shock here]

"Maybe he lacks one, agree Baxia?" 

"UH."

"Only one way to find out."

A/N: This segment is not for viewer's content. You are advised not to read the next line unless yeah.

"Oh wow it's tiny."

OKAY IT'S OVER you can read freely now.

They couldn't find hit internal dan there, so they decided to bring the rest of him back to the heavens to let Chang'e deal with him together with Wanwan. (He's probably not a he anymore but oh well.)

OKAY THE END THANK YOU FOR READING THIS DUMBASS BOOK I'LL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT ONE (possibly coming tomorrow along with Chinese segments) 

Here be a spoiler.

"Wanwan, go get the Night-blooming Peony."

"Yes, your highness."

TEEHEEHEE 

This probably will appear in the intro tomorrow.

Anyways, hoped you enjoyed this book and stay safe! (COVID be a dangerous thing)
