In the days of yore, when there were no cultivators in the world and no division within the people. When peace was spread and everyone lived without fear for their children. It was an era marked by harmony, where children roamed freely and the concept of war remained unfamiliar. Life was characterized by simplicity.

More than a millennium ago, there existed a few individuals—figures now deemed mythical by contemporary belief.​​​​​​​..

"Are you sure Tyllie?" Her father asked, addressing his daughter and she nodded bowing her head. He huffed.

"Humans are greedy creatures..... They may be peaceful now but they desire power...And once you go you will not be able to return....." He warned but his daughter was stubborn.

"Not all humans are like that... I have observed these people for long, they are kind and humble." She countered and her father turned to look at her mother who nodded.

"My dearest... Your power is greater than what you think...But If this is your choice so be it." He said and motioned her closer.

Both her mother and father stood as Tyllie neared them and the three joined their foreheads.

"My only daughter... I pass you the power to change form into a human on your wish... Beware... The full moon may be the loneliest night for you..." Her mother said softly as she parted from both, she smiled at her and went back to where she was seated before.

"And I give you the power of nature... May the winds be kind and the waters flow steady for you..." Said her father and parted, taking a seat beside his mate.

"Mother, Father... I thank you... We will not meet again I-... I will miss you..." She said as a tear made its way down her face.

She spread her wings as she cast a last look at her parents and jumped off the marble structure she would see for the last time.

​​​​She took on a human appearance and a human name...

Li Meiying

A girl she had witnessed dying of a disease. When people saw her entering the village, they looked at her cautiously.

Her silk white robes with blue and purple patterns fluttered in the gentle breeze. Her long black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, also moving with the wind. Her face was gentle and warm. Her beauty made her look like a Goddess herself walking the earth.

In her hand was a simple sword, in a white scabbard, and nothing else.

An elderly woman walked forward. "Who are you, child?" She asked in a polite ascent as everyone in that village used.

"I'm Ty-- Meiying. Li Meiying... I was hoping I would be allowed to stay here..." She said and bowed her head lightly.

The elder smiled "Welcome to our village A-Ying.."

​​​​​​"Grandma is sick! Her face is paling!!" Called out a child and Meiying rushed to the older woman. She looked at the frail body and sighed sadly, the woman had shown her kindness allowing her to live with them. She wanted to save her... She could but it would risk her existence.

Meiying put a hand on her chest and concentrated after a while her hands began to glow green and the older woman's face was relaxed, as she opened her eyes.

"What...what did you do..?" Asked the woman's son and Meiying smiled.

"I can heal."

"How?" Her son questioned
