"This damn idiot!! You are sick why would--"

"Shut up, Spider!!" the woman in red and white snaps. "Ghost, hold him."

The three Junior Scouts watch her pull very thin needles out and carefully place them in specific spots. Once she does, his body goes painfully still, almost like he is dead. But before the three young teens can panic, she opens his robes and they gasp seeing a festering curse wound.

"Shit... I knew he was acting strange..." She mutters as she holds her hand out and scroll appears in it and when she unfurls it in a fluid motion, a bag appearing and the scroll flashes and she reads it. "Damn it, the demon from last week has a necrotizing curse bite. Alright I know what I need to do. Qinghua, I need these herbs." She points at the list that appears closer to the lavender dressed woman.

"I got it..." She takes her cross bow and chants a spell before shooting the bolt into the floor and several plants appear. She harvests them and begins to prepare them as the instructions say.

"Tsk...." The darker purple clad man growls and turns to start clearing the demon bodies when he remembers the Juniors. "Hey didn't I tell you brats to leave?"

"Hey, that hag attacked us out of nowhere and when did we have time to run!?" Shouted one of the two hot heads, causing the youngest of the three to facepalm but then the boy yelped as he was picked up.

"Sky, don't go mouthing off to the old man!" The black clad teen, who looked perhaps 18 or 19, says grinning meanly. "And you, Peony, how dare you think that I would leave you three by yourselves. Yinyu... follow." He says and turns to leave, but stops seeing a scout in green, black and gold, holding a fan before his face, eyes calculating and beside him is another scout in light brown and red, his face is artfully painted like one of the male actors of ancient China who would play the female roles of epic plays and operas. "You must be Wudaomi and that makes you... Nandan, then... and the old man with the short fuse is Leizhizhu... Hi, now bye--"

When he goes to teleport away with his charges, having grabbed Yinyu as well as Tiankong and Mudan to get away. However, he vanished for only a second only to land in the same exact spot before two new arrivals appeared. He gasped because he knew them and the last time he had seen them alive, he was only a boy of 11. And his mother, he had his eyes back as did his father! He felt his emotions suddenly static out and knew they needed to go. This was too much too soon for the four of them, they needed to call High Councilor Yao!

"It is rude to leave before you introduce yourselves and even ruder to call names." His mother scolds in that gentle way he always remembered. Only a hint of disapproval in his voice, to make you feel even more guilty.

He cannot help how his head bows, how he scoffs his foot in the way he always did during a scolding, peeking up at his parents through his bangs and shifting side to side. he would have his hands behind his back if he didn't have three Juniors in his hold. He got the strength from his father, but he was fast and light on his feet like his mother.

"Oh now you two show up!" Leizhizhu yells.

"...." the black clad teen watches his father spin and strike faster than he could follow and the angry spider is passed out in his arm from taking a chop to the back of the head. "I can't believe we left the army to this hothead..." He mutters.

"We didn't exactly have a choice. And you cannot deny that the army was very well trained under his command. Now then, please tell us who you are and why you were here? I do not recognize your robes." cam the gentle voice of his mother again.

"We were just passing through when that hag attacked us. We defended ourselves." Tiankong says in a calmer tone of voice now that he's not being yelled at. Though he can see where Mudan gets his short temper from. How that works is beyond him since his mother is so gentle and mild mannered and even his father was a calm individual.

"So we gathered... but that doesn't tell us who you are." his father says, he shifts slightly and it makes them tense slightly.

"We're not enemies if that's what your worried about. Trust me, we aren't with Qishan, we would rather be chopped up into millions of little pieces than ever side with them..." He says and then thinking, he stands up straight, which puts the others on high alert. "Alright, I'll bite and tell you something, but first how old are you, Wudaomi?"

".... 15... why?" those grayish brown eyes narrow slightly behind the fan.

"15... that means Princess Yiling, is about 14 going to be 15 now..." He muses.

"Princess!? You know the Princess?!" His mother gasps, looking both hopeful and cautious now.

"Yes, in about 5-8 years, an attack happens, I don't know what happened, but the Princess becomes corrupted and adopts the name Yiling Laozu... The Scouts band together and kills the Princess and in the following 13 years after that, our world begins to fall to a being called the Yin Master. Almost all of the Scouts die during that time and the King, Hanguang Jun, sacrificed his Golden Core to create a crystal barrier to keep the Yin Master trapped. The man who raised me after my parents were killed when I was a child, had developed a spell, but we didn't have time to test it out. He sent us back to a point in time that could help drastically shift the future. So no, we are not with Qishan or Yin Master, those bastards orphaned us! Destroyed our home and corrupted our Queen! So now that you know, let us--"

"Shenhong Lianhua!?" Zhiyu Zhiji cries out and they curse.

"Put me down!!" Yinyu demands and wiggles free before running back to where the leader of the Scouts was clearly in distress. "I can help... please?"

"You are a child--"

"I am not!" He snaps and his eyes flash from their silver to gold in his anger and she blinks. "Forgive me, it is forbidden to yell at an elder, unless they are being bullheaded. I can help. I know Cleansing and Restoration." He holds up his flute, the mirror image and yet exact opposite of Chenqing. The tassel is blue with a single black pearl where Chenqing has a red tassel and a white pearl.

"Fine... It will help me clear this curse and keep him from bleeding out." Zhiyu Zhiji nods. "Shishigui, help me."

"Ok..." He nods, trans forming the chains into ribbons and quickly tying his billowing robes against his frame and leaning down to help his sister.

When he is given the signal, he begins playing and soon is joined by Tiankong playing on his guqin and Mudan sings the healing song, all three helping as they try to reverse the curse. Unknown to them, Shenhong Lianhua hears another guqin, playing a song without a name, but somehow very familiar allowing him to relax and allow the others to help him fight off this curse...

Unknown to them, this very moment helps to shift the future onto a new path...
