The Lotus Fire

The Truth

If you saw the Mysterious person chapter, NO YOU DID NOT.

Anyways, graphic depictions of violence, blood, Nezha x XiangLiu, self-harm. Don't force yourself through it if you are uncomfortable

If you don't mind these, continue reading on.

If you still want to read but are sensitive to violence, blood and self-harm, please skip Li Hua's P. O. V. Thank you! <3

Chapters are still coming in guys. I was just not feeling like it for the past few months.

Enough yapping, time to get to the story.

But seriously, if you are sensitive to these topics, don't force yourself.

No one's P.O.V:

"Who are you? What do you want from us?" Mk asked with a stern yet hesitant tone. He reached for the stranger's hood and removed it.

A soft hissing sound was heard and a dark green snake slithered out. Everyone froze.

As the hood came off, spring green skin and scales were revealed. Followed by red eyes with sharp orange pupils and upturned eyebrows.

"Well well well..."

The Nine Headed Demon chuckled, grinning from ear to ear.

"Surprise to see me?"

Mk stumbled back, stammering, "W-what? Weren't you in the Chaos Beyond? Why are you.."

"Ahhh," XiangLiu sighed, "so many plot twists.. it's getting tiring isn't it? I may have something to do with all this." He smiled, his pupils became pinpricks when his eyes landed on Li Hua and his smile faltered slightly but it quickly came back up. "Oh, you're the Third Lotus Prince's twin sister, aren't you? I've heard many good things about you."

"Who are you?" Li Hua snapped, "And how do you know he has a sister?"

"You don't know who I am? Ouch!" XiangLiu gave her a smug look, placing a hand on his chest dramatically. "I am-"

"Cut whatever you're trying to do out, tell us why you are here." Monkey King interrupted with a snarl, baring his fangs as he stared intensely at the Nine Headed Demon, his grip tightened around Macaque, who was struggling to breathe and quivering from the cold.

"Yeah! We've beaten you before and we can do it again!" Pigsy chimed in, holding up his rake in a threatening manner.

"Woah woah, calm your nerves.. I'm not the threat here," XiangLiu held his hands up in a surrendering way as the ropes fell off him. Hong Yao looked taken aback by the fact that XiangLiu had untied himself. He let out a soft chortle, "You see..

It was weeks after the world almost ended, the little Lotus Prince was assigned to guard a tiny little tear in the universe which led to the Chaos Beyond that the Celestial Court found. As he was being his serious self, I decided to disturb him a little, throwing in flirts every so often. It annoyed the Lotus Prince. Over time, I started to visit him frequently, and we kept each other company. Our relationship was strong and unbreakable. However, one day, he stopped talking to me entirely, not even looking at me. When I forced him to, his eyes were lifeless and full of self-loathing. He had a horrible fever, as if he had absorbed the Samadhi Fire itself.

He disappeared that day, leaving no one to guard the tear. I assumed he was given another station to guard.

During his absence, I learnt and studied about the Lotus Fire. Soon the realisation kicked in, the Lotus Fire wasn't forged because of the Amulets. The Amulets were just a decoy, to lead others away from the REAL reason how the Lotus Fire was created.
