Lan Zhan has lived for as long as he can remember in the Burial Mounds. He grew up under the care of the demons and monsters who lived here. They told him, he looked like a Lan and thus gave him the name Lan Zhan because his spiritual energy was a pure azure blue before he matured and was able to use the twisting black energy of the Mounds. He still has the blue energy but has little reason to use it beyond his Cultivation training. The Lans wore robes with clouds on them and a head ribbon with the clouds stitched into the center of it.

On of the demons wore tattered Lan Robes, she was beautiful in a horror story sense. She often cooed and coddled him and he thought of her as Niang. She was the strongest among the demons, the other claim that no fool would dare go up against a mother who was hellbent on protecting her child. She had a body like his own human on top but where normally human legs should be he had the body of a spider. Hers was bigger and stronger. She said that the females are always bigger than the males so they van eat the inferior males, but she would never eat her child or allow another to eat him.

So here he grew, learned and Cultivated. He could make himself appear human but he had to avoid touching impure iron or he would change back. He learned early that humans were terrified of him when he tried to help a lost child find their Niang only to be chased by an angry mob. Cultivators use to come here to try and kill not only him but all the others who lived in the black bamboo forest. But after they were killed and their spirits and spiritual energy was drained and feasted on to make them stronger. They stopped. No only someone lost or incredibly stupid comes this way.

So imagine his surprise when he heard someone screaming and rushed to find out who was in trouble, best to get the fool away before someone opts to make them into lunch or dinner. But he looks up when he finds where the sound it coming from and sees a beautiful creature falling from the heavens. He sends out his energy, the black tendrils wrapping around them and slowing them down as he quickly weaves a get from his silk and catches them. Carrying the human back to his cave, he lays them down on the single cot in a mostly forgotten desire to have a mate. He keeps it fresh and comfy and it paid off. Laying them down he begins to check them. His catch was not as good as he had hoped. A few bones took more damage than they had before and a couple broke on impact but they were alive. He sets to work undressing then to the soft crimson red under robe and the black one that was torn and beyond dirty.

He sends his smaller spiders to collect what he needs and crushes and mixes medicine to heal the injuries the human has. They are bruised in a way he recalls a few of the younger demons had when they first died and came back as demons. He growls because he now knows that the only way to get such bruises was to live with an abuser or to have been sexually assaulted. This human was beautiful and did not deserve to be treated with ill intent! If he learns who did this he will hunt them down and train them of their fluids. He set the bones of a clearly broken leg and cracked ribs before he carefully weaves a half cocoon of silk to keep his guest from moving too much and hurting themself. He had just finished securing the last bit of the silk when they bolted awake and in clearly blind panic and pain tried to get away only to hurt themself again. He easily stops them them and feeds them a strong tonic to ease their pain and force them to sleep so their body can focus on healing. He says as much as silver eyes blink heavy and drugged before slipping shut once more...

Lan Zhan spent a week caring for his human guest. His mother was not pleased at first but then she became excited after she tasted his blood.

"Oh my darling, Lan Zhan, this is an Omega!! Out kind only have Alphas so this human is very special and must be protected! Omegas can have babies no matter with who or what as long as they are an Alpha." She says and he blinks slowly. His mother checked the Omega frequently mumbling about heat suppressers and poor care and diet.

She even went and made a beautiful black robe with red flame like matters around the sleeves and edges when he told he had to burn the old ones. She demanded he be in his human form and went to tell the others that they had to adopt human forms or normal animal forms to not scare the Omega. He was not use to his human legs but he would make due for now. He put on his best robes the black silk embroidered with deep azure blue cloud patterns while his head ribbon was decorated with gold to match his eyes. He tended his human and after three more days they awoke.

"Wh--"

"You are in the Burial Mounds... Safe." He is not one to talk, but the human seems to relax at the sound of his voice.

"Wa- wat...."

He grabs a clay cup and dunks it into the jar of fresh water his mother brought him this morning and helps the human drink. They blink their eyes and the silver orbs are clearer now and look like pure starlight, they are so beautiful.

"Thank You... My name is Wei Ying, courtesy Wei Wuxian... I would greet you properly but I cannot seem to move..."

"Do bot move, injured still. Lan Zhan, Lan Wangji." He gives a proper bow to the bedridden Omega and they blink.

"Lan? I though Grandmaster said that there are no Lans outside of the Sect...." Wei Ying muses before he looks around what he can of his dwelling. He had worked hard to make it warm and comfortable for himself and a future family with a nice set of tunnels that branch off into other areas and a few tunnels that lead out. "Anyway, it doesn't matter, the Wens scattered everyone... But it is strange to see a Lan not dressed in white or with such dark blue... Sorry I am rambling.... How long have I slept?"

"A week and 3 days."

"Forgive my son, he is not use to company... My Lan Zhan, come help mother set up dinner for our guest." A woman dressed in Lan Colors with black accents says. Her smile is a bit too sharp but not threatening as she smiles at them and sets the heavy pot she was carrying down on a low fire and then between her and her son they clear and set up the table before Lan Zhan comes and unbinds the blanket he had draped over him from the bed. With the release of pressure he whimpers in pain but it leaves when he feels the cool tingle of spiritual energy enter him and he gasps, slapping the hand away.

"No!! Don't I don--"

"Your core will take a while to heal, young master. Do not fret..." The madam says.

"But... It was melted.... I..."

"Not melted only cracked. You are very powerful and it would take someone of equal power to break it. Or enough people to overwhelm it. Relax. Lan Zhan will ease your pain... I made soup. I also have chili oil, I like my meal a bit spicy my son has a cat's tongue and cannot handle it..." She giggles as Wei Ying reluctantly allows him to finish feeding his spiritual energy to him.

"I love spicy food." He admits. "If it isn't red, it is not spicy enough..." He tells her and she laughs with delight. "Thank you Madam Lan--"

"Don't call me that. Call me Jun Li." She says so fiercely it scares Wei Ying to hide beyond Lan Zhan, who brings an arm up holding his sleeve so very little of the Omega is seen.

His mother blinks away her unbridled rage at the title and then bursts into giggles seeing the pair. Oh yes, she will coach her son in how to win this Omega's affections and hopefully they will become a bonded pair unlike herself and her abductor turned husband....
