Xiao Zhan laid in the bed. His face was pale, lifeless. There was no a single move he made. No breath which made his chest rise and fall. Dao Ruyi sat on the bed next to him with legs fold, one hand on her own chest and the other one was on Xiao Zhan's. Her eyes were close, mouth chanted something that no one could understand.

The room temperature was cold, but the beads of sweat formed on her fair and beautiful feature. The hand on her chest was tensed, signalling she pressed it harder into it with the power within. Her back slightly hunched, her face a little bit squirmed as if she was holding a pain, but her mouth didn't stop chanting .

It was painfully slow but also obvious that Xiao Zhan's face turned to life. It was like a ray pushed the pitch black of darkness, Xiao Zhan bloodless skin moved to his lively skin. Still, he wasn't breath. Yet.

Tears crawled out from the corner of Dao Ruyi's eyes, mixed up with the beads of sweat. Her chants came to a quick ramble. On and on on and on and on..... Her body shook violently, hands were pressed her and Xiao Zhan's chest even deeper. Xiao Zhan started to breath, awefully slow, body shaken as his mother too.

Dao Ruyi removed her hand on her chest and lifted up on  Xiao Zhan's one, made a quick pace tapping on Xiao Zhan's chest and made a move with her both hands as If she was pushing something into Xiao Zhan's chest. She paused there, concentrated on what she was doing with chants rambling from her mouth. Then she pushed Xiao Zhan's head. By that she ended the ritual by threw herself out of the bed.. her back hit the concrete floor and she coughed out of the dark red blood.

The door swung open roughly from outside. BaoZai and Sarah rushed into the room. Sarah went to xiao Zhan who still laid still, unconcious. BaoZai grabbed Dao Ruyi and help her to stand, then guided her to sit on the bed.

"Is everything ok?" BaoZai asked her.

Dao Ruyi nodded. She wiped the trace of the blood from her mouth and chin. Then she touched Xiao Zhan's face and caressed it.

"My child...." She whispered.

"He's alive!" Sarah cried.

"Yeah.... He'll live...." Dao Ruyi smiled weakly.

"What did you do to him?" BaoZai asked her.

"I had no choice.... I transfered my power into him to keep him alive..." Dao ruyi answered.

BaoZai closed her eyes, regretting what Dao Ruyi had done. As if could smell the disappointment from BaoZai, Dao Ruyi looked up at her.

"He has to live, Jie... I don't want the Devil takes him away from us. If he's dead, he'll goes to the Devil's throne. He is innocent and know nothing about all of these..." Dao Ruyi explained. " But he still needs the cure to stay alive. My power is not enough to keep him alive. It's only to avoid him from being snatch by the Devil. He still dying... And he'll dies eventually..."

"I understand, my dear..." BaoZai nodded. She stroke Dao Ruyi's hair.

Xiao zhan stired. His eyes were squirmed. A frown formed on his face and a soft groan came out from his slightly open mouth. Dao Ruyi tightened his grip on Xiao Zhan's hand. Everyone waited for him to open his eyes. Until finally Xiao Zhan opened his eyes., Squinted to the bright light.

"Angel...?" That was the first word that he uttered when his eyes caught a glimpse of beautiful woman with fair skin in in a white dress and a pair of wings hunched up over her shoulder.

Dao Ruyi smiled fondly. She shook her head.

"I'm not an angel. Unfortunately.  I'm your mother. And I'm a cultist. But not the one under the Devil's control. People called me a spirit," Dao Ruyi explained.
