The Black Dragon

chapter 38

Saving Dilong in exchange for something.

T

he god of death sighed and approached with slow steps towards the soul of Dilong who was in a deep sleep. Wei Wuxian followed in his footsteps and stopped next to him.

"Wei Wuxian, if you want to save him, you must give something in return," said that being, looking at him seriously. Wei Wuxian looked at him and it took him a little time to think about it until he spoke.

"What should I give?" He asked and he smiled.

"Half of your memories" he said and Wei Wuxian looked at him seriously.

"My memories...." I whisper.

"I will offer you a deal, free Dilong's soul in exchange for your memories"

"But if you release his soul, he won't come back" Wei Wuxian exclaimed.

"Think about it. Dilong would not want to return to a world that was against him, but if you want to try then you must give me half of your memories" said the being, but wei wuxian was somewhat confused, he felt that in a certain part all that was not true and that the mysterious being only wanted to deceive him, but what should he do.

"Who are you really?" Wei Wuxian said and he looked at him seriously.

"Again we return to the same question, I already told you, I am nobody," he said as he walked around him and with his fine hands he took Wei Ying's chin and whispered.

"Tell me, Wei Wuxian, do you really want to save Dilong?" At that moment, Wei Wuxian felt a chill run through his entire body, but before speaking he had to think or things would not turn out the way he wanted, but if he had something clear, that being wanted trick him and in order to save Dilong he asked him for something in return, he wouldn't know what to do in reality the deal was all his memories in exchange for freeing Dilong's soul, but there was also the other trying to bring Dilong back to life in exchange of half of his memories, and losing half of it wasn't bad at all. Wei wuxian wanted to erase all those memories where he suffered and where he hated the most, his past from which he could never escape.

"Okay, I accept the second deal," he exclaimed firmly and that being smiled widely. "Are you sure?" He asked again and Wei Wuxian nodded his head, with his hands he took Wei Wuxian's face, bringing his lips closer to his forehead and then blowing, and then at that moment everything turned black. Wei wuxian was feeling in a void when he suddenly opened his eyes to see that he was standing in a wide place that seemed to have no beginning or end, but there was someone else in the place, a person who was kneeling while with his His arms covered his face like a helpless and lonely child, then Wei Ying understood that he was now face to face with Dilong's soul. Wei Wuxian walked with slow steps until he reached Dilong, but every step he took seemed to get heavier, once he was close enough, Wei Wuxian spoke.

"Dilong!" At that moment Dilong did not speak, only a silence could be heard, Wei Ying knelt down to be at his level.

"Dilong, you must return with me, there is no time left," he said, but Dilong only remained silent.

"Dilong, come on, we're all waiting for you, we'll give you a new chance, your brother is waiting for you." At that moment, Dilong stopped suddenly and screamed.

"He doesn't wait for me, he hates me, I destroyed the human kingdom and killed Deling, you think he would wait for me with open arms after doing all that, you think that by coming here and telling me that you give me a new chance, I will come back as a Boy, well you're wrong!"

"You're wrong, Dilong, your brother loves you, and the we all will forgive," Wei Wuxian said, but everything around him became very tense and the air around them became heavier and unbearable.

"He doesn't love me, no one is waiting for me, they just want me to come back so they can punish me, but you know I like to be here where no one can see me and no one can hear me, that's not what all the leaders want me to disappear, because their wishes are They have fulfilled it because they would want me to come back" he said shouting and Wei Wuxian felt an appreciation in his heart.

"Dilong, I know that many things have happened that not many would forgive you, but we all have a second chance and you have it, you can make things right, just try," he said, trying to get Dilong to see reason, but he just turned away and made a barrier that separated Wei Wuxian from his soul.

"What are you doing?" Wei Wuxian asked, seeing that he was just walking away, leaving him on the other side unable to pass, after all it was Dilong's decision and he had control of his entire being.

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to go back," he exclaimed, leaving in the darkness and standing next to a tall man. Wei Wuxian was perplexed to see that it was that mysterious being who gave him that treatment.

"You..."

"Wei wuxian. Dilong does not want to return, but I have let you try to talk to him. I have fulfilled my agreement. Now it is your turn to give me half of your memories," he said and Wei wuxian understood all that being was the god of death and he had been Deceived, he couldn't believe he fell so low, but after all he already knew it and still accepted the deal, there was no reason to make an excuse.

"....." at that moment the god of death smiled and with a snap of his fingers everything went dark again. Wei Wuxian could see how his memories passed in front of him, all the memories from when he woke up from his seal, from when he met Lan Wangji and Mr. Deling like the others, all those moments were erasing and Wei Wuxian could only shed tears as he knows that he would not remember Lan Zhan with whom he had fallen in love, but he had made a deal with the god of death and there was no turning back, he only wished with all his heart that he could one day remember Lan Wangji.

Weeping, Wei Wuxian knelt on the ground and with his hands pressed his chest where his heart was, remembering that Lan Wangji and him shared souls, at least that would not change, but what would happen from now on. He just hoped that Lan wangji wouldn't give up.

"Lan zhan forgive me, forgive me" he said in lamentations, a game badly played by a person who wanted to save another person from their misery. But what he could do. Dilong was very determined not to return and if he forced it it would break and then he would not be able to reincarnate. Wei Wuxian just looked up and whispered before his eyes slowly closed. "If life gave me the opportunity to make a wish, I would ask to be able to remember you again, I'm sorry Lan Zhan."
