The General's Ice Fairy - Jing Yuan

37. Hue

When the God of Eternal Breeze came from the heavens, he was seeking for serenity, away from the other Gods, who were most of the times fighting against each others and being noisy.

Wherever Eternal Breeze was laying his feet, everything around him would become frozen, giving the soothing atmosphere of a Winter Day. 

In that century,  there weren't many humans in that part of the world, populations were still developing, the Earth was still pure and not so noisy. 

He would pass his day, wandering around the frozen forest up a mountain, playing his dizi, in sync with the frozen wind his aura was summoning. 

Slowly, his permanence in the frozen forest, made it grow and develop into a big portion in the country, creatures like snow lions and mystical deers, along with the ice-storms eagles were all around him. 

He found his quiet place, with no humans or Gods being noisy, without anything destroying his serenity. The long black hair were always loose, his white long hanfu was almost  the same colour as his ice eyes. The beauty of the God was something nobody could explain, it was probaly his aura, but his face would always look calm and quiet.

One day, a woman stopped in front of the entrance of frozen forest. She  was curious to see and discover about the big forest everyone thought holy, as no matter the seasons, it was perma frozen, and for some reasons there would always be creatures living in.

"Shui!"

The blue eyes of the woman turned and sighed once she noticed her old relatives calling her out.

"Father, mother! I will just take a walk in there, I will come back!" she smiled happily as her blonde long hair were getting moved  by a cold breeze that was coming exactly from the forest, making her even more curious.

"Be careful!" her father sighed heavily once she saw the woman already disappearing in the forest "Our daughter will get in troubles one day"

"Well, do not look at me, you're the father" the woman said as she left little punches on the husband's chest who rolled his eyes "You tought her the snow sorcery, she's fearless because of you!"

"What did I have to do? She was born with a gift... I have heard more people are showing their powers... Seems the Gods are slowly choosing the gifted ones for  the new era and our daughter is one of them" the man felt like crying proud under his wife's puzzled stare.

"Whatever, bring the coal home,  I will take care of  the food... I am telling you, if  Shui doesn't  get home  before  dawn, you're going to the Ancient Forest and get  her back!"

Shui was enjoying the stroll inside the forest.  Her  eyes were getting  blessed  of the sight of ancient  creatures nobody probably ever seen.  The country was slowly getting conquered  by the men... Cities were raising as the population in that zone. 

Shui crouched  down as she looked at some snow rabbits  playing together. As soon as the rabbits noticed a shadow, they turned and almost  trembled  as they noticed her.

"Don't be scared!" the woman smiled warmly as her hands were moving a little "Let's see if I am able to.." her eyes did sparkle as she managed to form a frozen flower under the rabbits curious stare "See? I do have snow in my soul!" she exclaimed to then open up her eyes as the flower got shattered "Nooo! I took two weeks to manage to do it, why does it still shatter?" she cried  out  and the rabbits almost looked like they were laughing at her.

"It's not funny!" she said embarassed as the rabbits were looking at her with ice eyes. Their white fur was pure and they looked ethereal. 

She could sense a strong  magic aura in the Forest and it looked like every creature, every living was sharing  that power.
