Chapter 19. Somewhere

"Noooo!" Was Lan Wangji's gut-wrenching scream. He felt like his throat constricted and his heart was ripped from his chest.

After Wei Wuxian fell down, Samyaza ran frantically towards him, in an attempt to fall with him he jumped over the edge of the precipice before the horrified Lan Wangji.

The golden eyed angel ran towards the edge, trying to grab Wei Wuxian falling body without success. Immediately he tried to follow him, but Armaros held him by the waist.

"Let me go!" Lan Wangji demanded furiously struggling to break free from Armaros' hold.

"Calm down, please," Armaros all but begged him, while wrestling with Lan Wangi to keep him from jumping.

"Why?" Lan Wangji asked full of despair. He didn't understand what had just happened.

"I know you don't understand, that's why we need to talk. Don't make any rash decisions before we have a conversation, please." Lan Wangji looked at Armaros, nothing made any sense to him. Not Wei Wuxian's actions and certainly not Armaros' current attitude.

"Don't worry, Samyaza will not find him. I made sure of that," Armaros confessed. Lan Wangji felt somewhat relieved, but still his pain was unbearable.

Unexpectedly, Armaros produced two talismans from his robes and put them in Lan Wangji's hand.

"This one will guide you to my lair," he said putting a talisman with blue symbols in his hand. "This one will allow you to leave Heaven undetected," and put a talisman with red symbols on it.

Lan Wangji looked at them with a suspicious look. This was extremely odd. Why did it seem that Armaros was on his side? Did he intend to help him? Lan Wangji was utterly confused.

"Before you decide any course of action, let's talk." He reiterated, without another word, Armaros extended his wings and flew away.

Finally alone, he let his tears fall copiously. His intended, his beloved Wei Wuxian had fallen. His lover had left him alone. Completely disoriented and almost chocking with his own sobs he went back to Heaven's library.

Dumbfounded, he sat on the floor his back against a wall and putting his head between his hands he cried until he felt incapable of letting another tear fall. He took out the talismans that Armaros had given him from his robes, studying them with care. This was powerful magic. Even if he didn't practice magic himself, he had read books. He needed to know what exactly had happened to his Wei Ying before he could do anything.

Making a decision, he stood up and activated the talismans in his hand. One of them guided him to Armaros' place on Earth. Cautiously, he reached the gateway and looked for Armaros.

Armaros felt his presence immediately and greeted him.

"Harahel," he said. He wasn't really surprised, he had been expecting Lan Wangji to arrive soon.

"Lan Wangji," he responded. "Please, call me Lan Wangji."

"As you wish. Please come in, we'll have a long talk," Armaros explained while offering him a seat.
