𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

"Azure."

He stops in his tracks, letting the scared warrior run into the castle. Looking up at your new form.

Plump, plush lips, decorated in the finest and silkiest clothing, and your hair adorned with jewels. Looking like a true princess.

His heart skips a beat the longer he looks at you, how long has it been since he's heard your gentle voice call his name? Decades, centuries even, as if to greet your once first love.

But now, your voice feels cold, wavering even as your [weapon] glimmers in the sunlight before being rudely interrupted by Dapeng.

"Get out of our way if you don't want to end up like the lowly warriors." He steps up but Huang stops him, rumoring to the eagle that this was personal for Azure and stepping down.

The lion quivers with every step he takes, walking on eggshells before being stopped by a barrier set by you.

"How dare you come back here after abandoning us? Abandoning me?!"

You yell at the demon before falling and hitting him in the stomach with your [weapon]. He dared not to utter a word as you vented your rage and hurt at him.

His brothers turned their heads after hearing the first blow, As much as his brothers wanted to attack, they knew their leader would never allow them to. Dapeng quivering as a child would who was being scolded, for hell hath no fury as a woman scorned. And after spending millenniums waiting for your husband patiently, it wore you out; Even more, once finding out about what he's been doing outside of heaven.

"How long before you answer me, Azure?! How many years will it take before you even have an excuse for the things you've done?! How long before you give me an answer?!"

You cursed as you hit him in the jaw, his bloodied face, the cuts and marks you've inflicted on the already battered man the longer he remains quiet before finally speaking up.

"I'm sorry"

"Sorry for what?! Cause the family you have says otherwise!"

You respond to him, ready to hit him again before he holds your [weapon] and jerks it away from you, the clang of the gold metal ringing in your ears before pulling out another [weapon] to attack him again

"I can tell my actions left an effect on you dear. But I was forced to leave you alone, and I'm sorry." He responds again and holds you by your arms, trapping you into a hug and gently taking the small [weapon] away from your hands.

You went limp before hugging your ex-husband, your once beautifully coated mascara running on your face and in the warrior's clothes the tighter you held him; Uncontrollable tears and hiccups leaving your lips and your legs wrapped around the man as he sat down with you on his lap, holding you tightly out fear of letting go and you fading away.

"W-why did you leave me? I did everything right and yet you run off and have a family... Was I not good enough for you?" You sob as he holds your face with his large hands, wiping away your mascara-stained tears and rocking you in his lap gently to calm you down.

"I tried to get in contact with you, I did. But I had to wait, I'm so sorry I left you alone and with no explanation, I'm the one at fault here." He sympathizes with you, resting his head on your collarbone, gently humming a lullaby you once sang to him.

"Do you remember when we first met?, how I said one day when we were ready we'd leave heaven behind to live a life of our own? You sang this same song to help me sleep that night."

And that's when it hits you, like a stack of bricks to the face. Feeling him slowly start to squeeze you tightly, hearing your bones squish as you wailed in pain, trying to get him to stop

He remembered the promise... He wasn't lying to you at all... He still felt love for you, more love than you could ever imagine.

"I can't stay here any longer, please do wait for me some more and I promise to never leave you again"

He whispers one last time before sharing a kiss with you, your soul cracking completely and dying slowly in his arms, the arms that once made you feel safe at night, the ones that are now squeezing you to your death. Your vision fades to black as you are sucked inside the scroll before he gently keeps it on his holder.

"Are you done with your reunion?" "...Let's just continue with the task at hand..."
