"Will you guys just quit this?" I ask.


"Wei Wuxian!" Lan Zhan yells.

"What?" I ask.

Blood starts dripping from my hand. I look around at the destruction. It's beautiful. So... why am I unsettled. Are Yanli's tears actually getting to me? I grip the sword. What will happen to Yanli and Jiang Cheng when this is all over? I know what'll happen to me.

My life's purpose is... darker than I imagined. I thought I would be happy destroying everything. I thought this was the only way for me. The only outcome. This is the only path I must take. Yet... why am I so unsettled. I look down. 

"Please. Please come back to us." Yanli walks forward.

"I... don't have a choice. A deal is a deal." I say.

"Everyone has a choice." Lan Zhan says.

"Who told you that?" I ask.  

"You did." He says.

"I...." I start.

I can't even think of what to say. I don't know what to say. Yanli picks up a sword. I look down at her. 

"What? What are you doing?" Jiang Cheng says.

She arches the sword to her chest. My eyes widen.

"I don't want to live in a world with you if your evil." She says.

"Yanli!" Jiang Cheng yells.

"Yanli! Don't!" I let go of Lan Zhan's sword.

Then his sword stabs me. Lan Zhan's eyes were wide. I wince.
