Semi-human creatures- living among human beings, cultivating magic of the spirit beings, they access the link between the mortal and the spiritual plane. They were powerful, magical but bound strongly to nature. There were creatures of varying nature, phoenixes, white lightening tigers, dragons, foxes and much more, each entirely different, with abilities. But having powers never made them the dominant creatures. Being tied to nature, their sole purpose was to maintain the link between the spiritual and material worlds. And among them, were jade dragons. The beings of divinity. They were the law and the balancing spirit creature between the earthly realms of Mother Nature and Heavenly realms. The duty and responsibility as the balance of the spirit creatures could never be overlooked.
But can Jade Dragon Lan Wanji carry out what is expected of him? the will of the heavens to kill the deviled dark nine-tailed.
The halls of the celestial towers were stilled to witness the powers dark nine-tailed, the devastation it bought, the uncontrollable resentful energy it held and lastly the fated tie with the Jade Dragon. All was as the prophecy stated.
The crowds murmured in an upsurge of bloodlust. 'The dark creature had to be killed' It was stated so. Without even weighing the right and the wrongs. Without inquiring the entire truth. It verdict of the convict was already predecided just like that. There is no saviour, regardless of the years of protection of the Jiyangs' and Wanji's sacrifice. It was truly inevitable.
'KIll THE DARK CREATURE' An wounded person stated.
'YOUR HIGHNESS DIVINITY KIll HIM' The people among 'Su Royal sect' said.
'KIll HIM' The people in the crowd joined in.
'KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM''KIll HIM'
The people chanted. Wei Ying smirked sadly, his cheeks were still stained with tears. ' Madam Yu was right, I am truly a curse. From birth, I was labelled as a dark creature. All I ever did was hide. I hid behind when my clan was hunted because of me. My existence never bought well. No matter what I did, how good I tried to become. I am the devil. Just my living self gobbled up my loved ones to darkness, let it be mother, my uncle and now my sisters. I am good being dead.'
"KILL ME, YOUR HIGHNESS." Wei Ying said quietly as he looked towards the trembling pupils of the Jade Dragon. The innumerable thoughts, these voices, the fate Wanji stood upon pierced him through.
'Kill me', 'Kill him', 'The devil', 'Wanji, a mate is like a best friend or more precisely And no matter what happens you always love them, and they, you. Nothing can ever change that.' his brother's words, "you must do what is right" his uncle's teachings, the heavens will, but his heart. His heart alone as if it was ready to shred off the immense responsibility that lied upon his shoulders, to fight off the world and even heavens to seek why such a sin should be committed?
The voices grew louder and louder in the halls, in his head. A shrieking pain pierced him. The Jade Dragon growled through causing the clouds to grumble along as the voices rang in his head. In pain, in agony, the Jade Dragon curled his tails to bring in Wei Ying more in his grasp. As if holding on to his love with the threading despair. He has imagined such a scene in his head innumerable times, and how he will bring himself to do what was asked of him through the pain he may bear. Regardless of the thousand scenarios, the thousand times he thought how he may kill his own life with his hands. It could not compare to the pain that tore his heart now. Unbearable, immensely unbearable. As if he could kill himself but not bring him. Never. The jade dragon's eyes welled as the creature trembled thundering in despair.
The crowd anticipated in excitement as It seemed that Lan Wanji was to end Wei Ying."No" A lightning whip lashed. It was Madam Yu. She growled as she strode in front of Wei Ying separating them. No one can turn her efforts of years to dust, even if they were the royalty. The Jiyangs' came in, the humans bearing weapons and the spirit beings in their forms.
Enraged by this hindrance, people of the distinguished clans turned their weapons against them. As they came in way of eliminating the abomination. The summoned spiritual weapons whooshed through the air to attack. Zipping across in rage transforming to take up Bichen in his hands as he slashed each attack before it could reach someone.
The mob stood stunned, taken aback by the act of his highness. Lan Wanji frowned, panting, his hand trembled clenching Bichen, as he held his voice clear announcing" I, Lan Wanji of Su Royal Sect, asks for of Wei Ying of Yumeng Jiyang's Hand in Betrothal."
The time was not frozen, but the people did not dare to move an inch. One who was supposed to slaughter the devil .... was ... was saving him. Lan Quiren could not take this, as he fumed in anger to order his men to get hold of the deviled creature. He was sure that his nephew had gone berserk being influenced by the dark creature, but he could surely not attack the elders.
The Su's men along with the elders charged powerfully to grasp the dark creature. But to their surprise, Lan Wanji didn't budge but charged right back injuring each one of them, a single sword clashing in wrath with the numerous that came the nine tailed's way, disabling them to attack anymore. He staggered as he has lost too much Qi but, yet he gathered his voice from the core as he stabbed Bichen onto the ground for support standing firm as he did something one could not imagine.
" I, Lan Wanji order as the high divinity to be tied in a soul marital bond with Yujiyang sect's Wei Ying, Wei Wuxian."
The divine voice. He, who was known for being the epitome of perfection used a command no spirit could ever cross that no one had ever used in history. If dared, the spirit being itself will cease to exist from the world. To say the people of Su and those present were shaken apart would be an understatement. Let alone Lan Quiren but Wei Wuxian could himself not understand why this mere stranger who he met for minutes was saving risking not only his everything but the whole realm for his sake. Who is he? And more importantly who is he to Jade dragon Lan Wanji?
Irony oh Irony! For one who was supposed to kill bearing the responsibility of the world, betrays the whole world, standing against the whole realm just for the feeling that laid unsaid. Lan Wanji had made his choice, daring to stay by it till his end. But to say it would end in blissful happiness was like a mirage in the desert. A mirage of such a feeling that had him lost his sanity between right and wrong. It was the 'mirage of love'.
