Wangxian Prompt/Self-fill Dump

Moon Spirit Pt 1

Prompt:

Wei Ying is the Moon Spirit said to come down every year at the Lunar New Year and choose a new Champion for the year. It is a tradition carried on since Wei Ying had been a tiny Moonbeam and his mother was the Moon Spirit. However this year is different.

This year marks Wei Ying's maturity as a Celestial Deity and thus is the year he must find not only a champion but a mate. Wei Ying takes the form of a black bunny to avoid the more greed driven or power mad individuals who seek not only his favor but his hand in marriage...

Snippet:

Lan Zhan finished dispatching the last demon in the area and quickly cleans his blade, bows to prey for the souls that the small group of demons had devoured could find their way to rebirth. When he is done, he stands to move on when a rustle nearby has him on alert. It is tense for perhaps 5 of the longest minutes of his life and then fron a bush a black blur bursts free followed by the wild barking of those annoying Dogs from Yunmeng. The blur slams into him and he catches it, realizing it is a terrified black bunny with a cute red ribbon tied around its neck in a flowering bow.

He has a fondness for bunnies and holds it gently in his arms, petting the silky soft fur and rocking it gently to calm it down. He knows very few bunnies like to be held because they are a prey animal, but he has a talent for coaxing even the most skittish of bunnies into his arms for a good cuddle and petting session. Lan Zhan almost smiles at the soft grinding of teeth, but it falls when the Dogs finally arrive and turn human. At the lead is Prince Jiang Wanyin, who like his mother, took on a Canine like appearance in his Other Form. King Jiang was an Ox, strong and stubborn, but also very placid. The Princess of Yunmeng was an oddity being a Tiger and a White one at that.

Lan Zhan had often wondered, when he allows himself to indulge just the tiniest bit in intrigues, how someone so sweet and delicate like Princess Jiang could be a fiercesome and awe inspiring animal like a Tiger. He would liken her to a bunny much like this adorable little black ball of fluff, but he does not dare to question.

"Hanguang-Jun, what are you doing in our lands?" Prince Jiang demands eyeing the bunny who shivers and burrows as close to his chest as possible.

"Night Hunt." He states as if it explained everything and in a simple way, it did. He strokes the bunny, who calms at the gently petting and relaxes some in his hold.

"Hand over the rabbit." Prince Jiang demands and Lan Zhan gives the tiniest of frowns, the bunny stiffening in his hold, rapidly snuffling, a clear sign of agitation.

"No. It belongs to someone."

"Yes, to Yunmeng. Now hand it over!" The Prince demands and Lan Zhan frowns but suddenly the bunny bites him and he drops it as it bolts off back into the undergrowth.

"Shit!! Capture it, hurry!!" Prince Jiang orders and bolts off after the bunny in his dog form with his fellow canines at his heel.

Lan Zhan frowns a bit deeper, rubbing where he had been bitten. How curious....
