(M/N) was traveling out of the next town and walking to find another. He wore midnight black robed that were slipping off his shoulders loosley but somehow made his figure look charming in some way. He rose one of his sleeves and reached into it, pulling out a necklace with a little teardrop on the end made of glass and filled with a crimson liquid. He looked back to see the town he had just came from in ashes. He turned back around, drowning out the now small screams off help and sorrow as he put the necklace back in his sleeve and continued to walk further away. You see, (M/N) was known as the ghost of the plagued pheonix.

He had the power of setting fire to anyone and anything within a 60 mile radius with a simple flick of his delcate (S/C) fingers.
He was getting impatient while under the scorching sun so he started running, not as fast as possible, of course. He reached a small tea shop and a man greeted him inside, leading him to a table near three men. Two of them were arguing about something he didn't care enough to listen to. The other was a very beutiful man with long brown hair and matching pretty brown eyes. He was wearing white robes and had a straw beat up hat next to him as he sweat dropped at the two other bickering men.
(M/N) ordered tea and waited as the waitress brought it to him with a small blush when he looked at her, he thanked her. The men eventually stopped arguing and went outside all together. When the beutiful man finished his tea and payed, leaving a small tip, he exited the small building. When he walked past the 3 men he and the long haired man from earlier made eye contact. The light haired man smiled at him as he retracted his gazes with a blank face. He looked over to a small banner next to the tea shop and narrowed his eyes at it, it caught up into a small fire that would eventually burn the whole place down. A few men with a red and gold carriage looking thing that (M/N) didnt care enough to thoroughly look at rolled through the dirt road. It stopped when a woman who looked like she was 15 or 16 had pleaded for the women to not go with the men. (M/N) had looked back at the shabby sedan with curiosity. He didn't feel a human presence in it and was a bit confused on why it was empty in it and the woman was complaining. He looked back to the woman to see the ugly man yelling at her and stepping close to her looking angry. He was about to hit the man before a white robbed figure had inhumanly dashed in front if the man, making him fall to the ground with a loud thump. He looked powerful as dust surrounded him and he had a straw hat that (M/N) instantly noticed. The man said something then ran away with his other group. The long haired male tried to tell the woman something but got slapped instead. Ouch. He turned looking at his companions near a broken tree. He eventually noticed the fire that was burning the flag intensley, feeding for it to eventually consume everything in its path. He took a bucket of water and quickly splashed it on the banner. It of course wouldnt normaly go out so (M/N) made it, not wanting for everyone around to see the alive fire and start causing a huge panic that could get him in trouble one way or another.

(M/N) knew that the three men were heavenly officials so he didnt want to stick around for long. He walked away quickly from the tea shop into a near town. He tried booking a room that night in a small inn but found out harshly that it was all booked out for the next few weeks. He asked the licals for the nearest temple and slowly made his way towards it while happily burning down a few building out of annoyance.

He could smell the smoke as he walked away from the small town and smiled to himself at the intoxicating smell. He walked up to the temple and his eyes widened at the three men from earlier. One of them was dressed into a brides dress with horible makeup on. He looked like a clown. Or..she?. The male..women..? Had his or her hair in a bun. He waved his or her hands frantically as (M/N) looked at him with a masked blank face but inside his whole body was deadpaning. "Are you a crossdresser or something?" (M/N) asked in a silky voice. "A-ah no I swear! Were trying to find the ghost bridegroom." He said back with an akward smile. "Thats quite odd, would you like me to fix you face? No ghost would want to capture you when you look like a dehydrated clown." You said blunty. "Yes please, young man" he looked slightly hurt at what you said but still accepted the offer. You nodded and pulled him rudely with no other words a fixed his makeup to look more feminine.

The two other men were still snickering when they saw the now woman looking man. "You look better your highness" they looked at you suddenly. One of them narrowed their eyes suspiciously at you. "And who are you?" "Huô Léi" they nodded at the fake name you gave them. "And what about yours?" "Im Nan Feng and this idiot is Fu Yao" The short black haired male said, introducing himself first then the 'idiot' he further introduced as Fu yao, the short brown haired male who looked at Nan Feng like he was going to brutaly strangle him. The long haired male then turned to me, blocking the two out of the conversation as they bickered to each other. "And im Xie Lian, pleased to meet you" You just nodded to him in agreement. "So you said you were trying to find the ghost Bridegroom?" "Ah yes, we are" (M/N) was interested in him now so he didnt want to leave just yet. "Could I perhaps help you all? Im good with a sword" he shook his head. "No, a young man like you shouldn't come with us to fight such a ghost." He had sympathy in his eyes. "You might want to fix your outer robes also, they seem to be slipping off your shoulders young man" You ignored what he just said. "Im still coming you need the help anyways" He tried to say something but was cut off by Fu Yao. "Your highness, we should leave now" he looked back to me. "Fine, but please stay near one of us and be very careful" you just nodded with the same blank pokerface of yours.

"We hired some sedan carriers, they are locals who are able to protect themselves with kung fu." (M/N) decided to stay a few feet away from the sedan and the two men. You walked quietly. It was dark when you finally walked closer up. Fu Yao had a sly grin on his face. "So how does it feel to finally get married?" You stared ahead but still listened to them. "Im dissapointed that something important is missing in the bridal procession." You curiously looked to the sedan, knowing that Xie lian wont be able to see your curiouse gaze. Nan Feng ahd a seriouse face looking around for any danhers while talking. "I think its all set. Whats missing?" "Two maids for the bride" both of them now had a seriouse face while looking at each other. They both humphed before looking at me. "Well you have Huô Léi for that, shes a lucky girl" I glared at them both. "Im a man idiots." Everyone stopped to look at me with wide eyes. "YOUR A MAN?!" They all shouted except Xie Lian. You tilted your head. "Yes? Did you think I was a woman?" They all continued on without looking at you and avoiding the simple question in embarrassment. You were highly offended at this.

Xie Lian suddenly shushed Nan Feng when he asked what was wrong. "Do you hear the giggles?" You continued to stare ahead. "No" you did but acted as you didnt since you needed to act like a weak human. Nan Feng also said he heard nothing and Fu Yao agreed with him for once. One of the sedan carriers stopped and the others followed. "Somethings wrong" "Keep going. Act as if nothings wrong" when they continued going you lowered your head. You knew there was wolves in the shadows but said nothing. Xie Lian told Fu yao and Nan feng what the lyrics were while you barely listened to as you raised your head again with a small smile that was hard to see especially at night. "New Bride? What does it mean? To not smile?" Nan Feng asked repeating some of the lyrics. Fu yao kept his eyes ahead. "Maybe your not supposed to smile or cry" Xie Lian spoke casually. "I have soemthing to tell you" "what?" He continued on. "I've been smiling since I got on the sedan chair."
