Bound By Fate (BL)

Veil of Darkness

The village, once bustling with life, now lay shrouded in an eerie silence, the air heavy with tension and fear. Lin Yu and Xu Wei, dispatched by their master to investigate the reports of strange occurrences and disappearances, arrived to find a community gripped by sorrow and despair.

As they traversed the village, the pain etched on the faces of the villagers weighed heavily on Lin Yu's heart. Each whispered tale of a missing loved one only served to deepen the sense of foreboding that hung over them.

Nightfall descended, casting a veil of darkness over the land as Lin Yu and Xu Wei set out to uncover the truth. Guided by a faint glimmer of hope, they followed whispers of strange sightings deep into the surrounding forest.

Their journey led them to a concealed cave, its entrance obscured by ancient talismans and powerful magic. With cautious steps, they ventured into the darkness, their senses alert to the ominous stillness that greeted them.

As they penetrated deeper into the cave's depths, horror awaited them. Villagers trapped in cages, spirit beasts enslaved, and a sacrificial platform drenched in blood.
A person wearing black clock is ready to sacrificie a young girl, Lin Yu's blood ran cold at the sight, his instincts screaming for action.

"We must intervene," Lin Yu urged, his voice tight with urgency.

Xu Wei nodded, his expression grave.

A fierce battle erupted as they confronted the hooded figure, his malevolent intent laid bare. Lin Yu fought with all his might, his every strike fueled by a desire to protect the innocent. Meanwhile, Xu Wei engaged the hooded figure in a clash of skill and determination.

But as the battle reached its climax, before they could ask him anything, a strange sigil appeared on the hooded figure's forehead, his body convulsing in agony. Before he could speak, he fell lifeless to the ground, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions.

With the threat vanquished, Lin Yu and Xu Wei rushed to free the captive villagers and spirit beasts, their relief palpable as they emerged from their cages.

As they emerged from the cave, the weight of their ordeal hung heavy upon them.

But unknown to them when they left,a shadowy presence loomed and from the depths of the sacrificial platform, something dark and sinister began to emerge, its form shifting and undulating like smoke.

But before it could fully emerge the hidden entity, one with whom Lin yu have a mysterious encounter from before, materialized  a look of grim determination.

the hidden entity stood alone, his form cloaked in darkness yet exuding an ethereal beauty. With a solemn gaze, he watched as Lin Yu and Xu Wei confronted the darkness that threatened to consume the land and left.

As the black source emerged from the sacrificial platform, a surge of anger and determination coursed through the hidden entity's being. His eyes, pools of liquid darkness, burned with a fierce intensity as he prepared to intervene.

With a swift motion, the hidden entity unleashed a torrent of energy, shattering the black source and scattering its malevolent essence into the ether. His voice, tinged with a hint of sorrow, rang out through the cavern.

"You will never succeed in your vile endeavors," the hidden entity declared, his words carrying the weight of centuries-old grudges. "Even if you were to revive, I will personally ensure your demise."

Hatred and pain intermingled in the depths of his soul as he surveyed the remnants of the black source. Memories of loss and betrayal lingered just beneath the surface, a constant reminder of the price he had paid for his power.

(suddenly a memory of someone sweatly calling him came into his mind, his laughter which couldn't be heared now,the promise that they will meet again as he left the world, btw he is also wearing the necklace that Lin Yu wore but he is not linyu guys don't worry )

But as quickly as the emotions surfaced, the hidden entity's expression hardened into stoicism.

"You have to thank me Lin Yu,I have made your work easier " he murmured, his voice barely audible above the din of the cave

With that, the hidden entity vanished into the shadows, leaving behind a sense of profound emptiness. The eerie silence that followed was a stark contrast to the chaos that had unfolded moments before.

In the stillness of the cave, where light and darkness danced in a delicate balance, the hidden entity's resolve remained unwavering. Though his past was fraught with pain and regret, he knew that his duty to protect the world from darkness would always come first.

And so, with a heavy heart and a stoic demeanor, the hidden entity disappeared into the depths of the night, leaving behind a world forever changed by his presence.
