Valour. Fearsome. Fierceness.

That battle was one that is etched in my memory. One battle before you changed. One battle before you became the Yiling Patriarch.

One battle we were on the same side.

I had already picked up all the bows, using the strings, strumming them together, used it to tie it all around the cave

"Chord Assassination?" Wei enquires and I look at him in surprise.

"Yes" is my curt reply.

Chord Assassination is a unique technique to Gusu Lan Sect, cultivated by Sect Leader Lan Yi.

"Breach through within" I strum the strings as I look at Wei. Our plan has to work. We tried attacking it from the outside but it's exterior is thick. So we decided that Wei would enter the beast and lure him out and I will attack him from the outside.

Instead of waiting for our death, this is the best tactical approach. Atleast this way, it would be so that we tried our best.

He's about to enter when I stop him "Wei, be careful" and he smiles, nodding he enters and all I can do is patiently wait for the beast to be lured out and more so for him to come back safely to me.

Seconds pass into minutes and my fingers tightens against the chords in anticipation. Just when my worry peaks, I hear a horrific screech.

Watching the beast being lured out, I tighten the chords. Stuck, it's unable to retract nor come out. The pressure in my arms, cause my fingers to bleed as I hold onto to the strings and the battle ensues for 6 hours. In those 6 hours my worry enfolds ten times when I don't see Wei.

Where are you Wei?

Are you alright?

The laceration in my fingers dig deep and the bleeding seeps into my sleeves and dyes the strings red.

Finally, the beast is subdued and breathes its last. Just as it's about to shut its mouth, I sprint towards it and find Wei unconscious, holding onto an iron sword emebeded into its skin.

Wei!!!

Pulling him out, we jump into the water and I drag him away from the blood filled pool.
