The howling of the black wind through a forest of pitch masked the faint sounds of chalk and blood being painted over the wide expense of the clearing. He worked hard and diligently, eyes bloodshot from days of mourning and sleepless nights. Pale and half sunken in cheeks from lack of sunlight and hardly eating. He had been a fool... He faltered only once, trusted the wrong lerson and it cost him something irreplaceable. If he had known then what he knew now, he wouls have sided with those who needed him and perhaps his precious ones would be here now. He worked and worked. Painstakingly making sure each character, rune and symbol was perfect and correct. He knew what he needed to do and he knew what needed to change. Once he was done he stepped forward in to the center of the spell, his personal items and those belonging to his lost loved ones laid on each circle. He began chanting the spell and the world is light up in purple as blue and red energy circle and colid and slowly the wind falls mute as the world falls away. As he falls he watches his sword, Shouyue fly away, Liebing, his Xiao not long after. A grass butterfly flutters away and a cloth doll that had seen better days chases it. The flash of pure white as Bichen pieces herself back together and flies off as the splintered peices of Wangji come back together blod soaked strings cleaning themselves as strings reattach themselves. A sword unseals itself and it is beautiful but its name had once been thought of as a disrespectful prank, but had proved her worth as whatever her late master desired. Suibian flew off after Bichen, like her own to harass the sword in playful companionship beflre the sounds of a Dizi meets his ears and there is Chenqing, surrounded by the black mist of resentful energy seemingly lonely but the strum of the Guqin and the echon of the Xiao call and soon the black bamboo flute flies away to join the others. After that he knows nothing...

Lan Huan's eyes snap open as he bolts up right. He is in the Hanshi. For a hysterical moment he thinks he did not succeed in casting Wei Ying's time spell, but as he get out of bed, he flops gracelessly because he is a few inches shorter than he had been, his bed was also lower than he remembered and then his door opened and there was 16 year old Wangji, a'Zhan, looking concerned.

"Xiong--" Lan Huan is up and across the room in a matter of seconds and cannot help the raw emotions as he holds an alive Lan Zhan in his arms. A Lan Zhan who had fallen off the cliff with Wei Ying when that man murdered them. He realizes that a' Yuan was not even birn at this time and it gives him time to prevent the tragedies that surrounded him from birth to his unhust death at the hands of fhe Cultivation World just because he was supposedly a Wen. "Gege?"

Lan Huan melts and pulls away, he cupps his brother's cheeks and cannot help but agree with Wei Ying's comment that his brother was much to pretty at times, which made him look adorable when he allowed emotion onto his face. Wei Ying! Xiao Ying would be with the Yunmeng Sect at this time, still so innovent and carefree! But he would also be with that bastard...

"Sorry, A'Zhan, I had a horrible vision of the future... You and your beloved had been murdered and I could jot save you... I could not even save the son you created..." He sighs so tiredly as he pretends that he is his newly 19 yeard old self.

"Brother?" Lan Zhan is confused and a bit worried as he rubs his brother's back. Lan Huan had been prone to visions and rarely confided or revealed what he had seen. This must have truly upset his brother. He had died? Him and his beloved? Impossible. Lan Zhan was planning to be celibate for the rest of his life... But he had a son too...

"What happened?" Lan Zhan asks, glaring at him to tell him everything and Lan Huan almost laughs in hysteria at ghe petulant set of his brother's face as minor as the shift was.

"You know I cannot... However I Will give you hints along the way... When you go out today, do be on the look kit for anyone who lost their invitation and allow them in..." He says and shoks himnout the door so he can get ready himself. He would protect his brother and their beloved Lotus and little Starling....
