Hwa Yi's POV:

I lay on the grass, watching him sit in the midst of all my comrades, friends, family... The anger I had never once forgotten during this war was slowly leaving. The pain from my arms slowly numbed itself.

The only way to find my last trace during this battle was my right arm was left two metres beside me, sword still in hand. The rest of my body was rendered useless. How long has it been since my fall? I tried my hardest to protect this Sect... was it all in vain?

My attention focused back to a standing figure far away to my right. Cheongmyeong. All I could hear was a loud sharp noise constantly as I saw him slash the head off of our enemy Cheonma. I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Was it finally time for me to leave? No. What about the sect? What about Myeong? I refuse to let this be the end. But what could I do? I felt my consciousness slowly leaving me, this unease growing.

We're going to win! Don't forget that!

Cheongmyeong?

Catch me if you can haha!

Look at all the booze I stole from brother Jangmun! Shhh, don't tell him or I'm going to get a beating..

Promise you'll always be by my side?

I promise!

Right... How could I forget? I'm sorry Myeong, I couldn't keep my promise. That will forever be my biggest regret..

Cheongmyeongs POV:

...The war is over.

I knew my life, too, was near its close. Standing on the top of a mountain of my dead comrades, all I felt was cold, my body numb, as the new rays of the morning sun filled the once blood soaked battlefield with warmth.

But what will now become of Mount Hua? Did all the blood Mount Hua shed here mean anything, in the end...? Brother Jangmun..Sister Yi Hwa..My friends..The junior disciples... Every member has perished in this war. The only survivors are children, barely able to wield a sword.

This has all happened because of him. A demon who descended from the heavens, the leader of the fiends who drenched the earth in blood. The leader of the demon cult... Cheonma. All my life, the training was all so tedious. Although I was a disciple of Mount Hua, I did not follow its teachings by heart. How could I have forgotten that I owed everything in my life to Mount Hua?

Do you have regrets, Cheongmyeong?

Yes, brother Jangmun..so many. If only I had more faith in the sect's teachings...and that faith could have made me a stronger warrior...I could have done something to change this horrific outcome.

There is no need for regrets. This is all part of Mount Hua's destiny. And yet...Mount Hua will live on.
