Guardian: The Lost World

Moving On

-Shen Wei-

After Shen Wei's sudden kissing frenzy, Yunlan simply held the professor, while he grieved the death of someone close to him. He whisper kind words while caressing his silky hair or rubbing his back to show he cared too and let him sob all he need it. After about ten minutes, Shen Wei calmed down and sat over the sleeping bag, ready to face reality.

"Shen Wei... Are you okay now? Can you tell me what happen? Why you believe the professor is dead?" Zhao asked softly as he sat too. Shen Wei smiled at him for a second, before sighing.

"I was inside a dream, although it was more a vision than anything else. There, I was transported somewhere deep inside Mount Kunlun, in which a huge cave host a long tower. The place is full of some fire bats, which make everything glow red and the tower itself, is a door to hell. I met a man... no, I met the remnants of the god of mountains, called Kunlun..." He looked at Zhao, just to see if he recognized his own old name from a time he was such god, but Yunlan simply waited for him to finish his story.

"He told me about the demon tower, which professor Ouyang was forced to open it before been killed, allowing beast demons to escape from their prison and to go out into the mountains. The beasts the professor had drawn, were those demons he had set free with his own hands. I presume, he hastily draw the demons before they decided to kill him and the notes were taken by the guardian of the tower, so they could reach, both you and me." At that Zhao frowned.

"What do you mean by that? Why me? How are we connected to this place?" Zhao asked in a whisper.

"Apparently, your team, you, as well as I, were something else in past lives at the beginning of time. Both of our blood somehow can close the door to hell and the power we once had, can help us kill the remaining demons that had already escaped. If we don't close the door soon, then stronger demons will come out and humanity will be lost. Yunlan... there is so much at stake here, so many people will die if the demons go down to the town... help me. I know it will be more dangerous for all of us, but please help me..." Shen said, as he looked at him with his eyes red for the tears shed just seconds before and Zhao just couldn't resist those lovely emotional eyes. He pulled Shen Wei to him and kiss him very gently before letting him go with his heart racing like mad.

"Whatever you need of me, you will have it, including my life..." He said as he keep his forehead resting on Wei's and his hands on both sides of his neck. "This may sound unbelievable to you, but... you bewitched me in such a way... I was so worry when you fainted. Aahhh... Shen Wei, just who are you to have a hold on me so fully and this fast?" Shen simply smiled. They had been lovers in the past indeed, because there was simply no other explanation for becoming so close in such short amount of time and he already could not picture himself sharing his life with someone else, whatever woman or man.

"Zhao Yunlan... I can ask you the same, because you got me too. I guess your luck was indeed too strong for me to defy it..." Shen whisper and Zhao smiled.

"Yeah, I'm such a lucky bastard..." Zhao whisper and Shen smiled.

"Then I'm one too..." Shen whisper, closing the tiny distance to give Zhao Yunlan his heart in this lifetime as well as he did with past others.

-Yunlan-

After a final long kiss, both of them got out of the single erected tent and joined the rest of the group, which sat around a small camp fire. As soon as the professors saw Shen Wei, they stood to ask him if he was alright and once he assured them he was, they sat again to share the experience. Then Shen Wei told the whole group about the demon tower under Mount Kunlun and about the professor's death.
