Descend into Darkness

Chapter Eight The bodies of Yin and Yang

Later that afternoon Hua Ying was standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, his mind was in turmoil. He could no longer hear in own voice just those of the taint, the pain was nothing now as he got used to it, getting used to it was easy, ignoring the taunts, being ridiculed was easy, it was wanting to kill everyone that wasn't easy to control, the voices wanted him to end the lives of the people he held dear on his very heart. He needed to go back to Yama back to the demon realm, there the voices were silence with their killing intent, there he could at least hear a sliver of his voice. With a sigh he opened a communication array and spoke:

If I had to jump down, father a new kiln would be born with the voices within me they would be released, and I already destroyed one.

Then he looked up mother I would rather prefer to sleep until then because the pain in my heart is what is destroying me not the voices.

Little demon, come home let us take care of you said Hua Cheng

I will daddy, I will said Hua Ying

Then closed the array as he turned slightly, and he saw Nie Huaisang standing behind him.

I have you rather stay by my side than have you throw your life away or die but I know this isn't possible, I know you do not want to be here said Nie Huaisang as he came up from behind. I understand that Suibian is sealed but how will you protect yourself now that ChenQing and Black hand is weak?

A-Sang, a broken heart is the most poisoned than a woman's heart and I am not completely useless, in the cave remember the fire? I can do more than just that said Hua Ying

You were always a master at talismans, the Nie sect will be sad to see you go, brother and I will be sad to see you go said Nie Huaisang

How is Mingjue? asked Hua Ying

Better thank you, under the care of ZeWu-Jun smiled Nie Huaisang

What happened after I faded asked Hua Ying

ZeWu-Jun and I went into the ever-night Hall with Meng Yao, brother was laying on the floor bleeding, ZeWu-Jun rushed to him and placed him on his lap, Meng Yao and I stood but what caught my eye was how Meng Yao looked said Nie Huaisang

ZeWu-Jun help my brother as a lover would and Meng Yao's jealousy was written on his face as his eyes stared with hatred at my brother, when he realized I was watching he quickly covered himself as showed concern. ZeWu-Jun kept pleading brother to not leave him and was relieved when brother came too. He said but what happened next surprised us all.

Nie mingjue you are awake said ZeWu-Jun smiling

Lan XiChen whispered Nie Mingjue as he smiled slightly

You're awake smiled ZeWu-Jun

When brother saw Meng Yao with Batia brother face was disdainful and ZeWu-Jun saw brothers face he also turned to Meng Yao, brother slowly lifted himself up and Meng Yao stood and backed away holding Batia, ZeWu-Jun helped brother stand, as soon as brother was on his feet, he looked at Meng Yao and told him to hand Batia back to him, Meng Yao kneeled and ceremoniously handed Batia back to brother while asking brother for a chance to explain.

Brother ripped Batia from meng Yao's hand and ZeWu-Jun stepped in-between them and looked at brother with pleading eyes.

Meng Yao carried on with the act behind ZeWu-Jun but he was smiling when he said that brother wounds are still fresh, he said but I saw it all.

Brother then looked at ZeWu-Jun and said as kindly as he could through his rage that it was none of his business then he turned and asked Meng Yao

When you were killing the cultivators of the Nie clan
