Many generations have come and ceased to be—

A Thousand Foxians' Ancient Troubles Revisited

2024-06-04T09:24:50Z

Just like that, the scene shifts to somewhere else...

To a place where Foxians held sacred. Fyxestroll Garden.

The General can be seen standing in front of what appears to be a young individual, and there are strange green-yellow lights that can be witnessed in the general area.

There are other people surrounding the General — a red-haired lady, a brunette, a grey-haired man with golden eyes, and a green-haired young woman.

The individual who appears to be quite on the short side asks, "I've never seen this one before...human, who are you?"

Jing Yuan smiles, eyes half-lidded as he asks in turn, "Heliobus, is it not your deepest wish to hold a rematch with the general of the Luofu? I have come to grant you an audience."

The grey-haired male exclaims, "This is General Teng Xiao's successor!"

The General folds his arms, and the green-haired woman declares, "Cirrus, we have brought you the person you wish to see. This is General Jing Yuan, the one who now sits at the Seat of Divine Foresight."

Cirrus, the one who had inquired about the General's identity seems taken aback, and asks, "...This is the current general of the Luofu?"

Though the little one doesn't stop there, working into a frenzy. "Look at that expression — he's barely half-awake! Where is General Teng Xiao? Why did he choose such a lightweight to take over for him? I suppose it's already too late for the Xianzhou to rid themselves of this clown..."

Cirrus then sighs in defeat, "Very well then, General Jing Yuan — how about we settle our score right here in Fyxestroll Garden? If I win, I must be free to come and go as I please..."

Jing Yuan looks unimpressed as his arms fall back to his sides and he states imperiously, "I agreed to grand you an audience, not meet you in combat."

He doesn't fight just anyone, after all.

"...What? You refuse? You won't fight me?!"

Cirrus seems appalled and surprised. "He comes here after I demand a rematch, and won't even fight...is he conceding that I already won? No, there can be no victory in eschewing combat — human logic negates it..."

Jing Yuan lets out a little 'hmph', folding his arms once more, and stating coldly, "You misunderstand — I came for a rematch. It's just that...you are not a worth opponent."

Cirrus practically explodes in the face of Jing Yuan's biting remark. "WHAT?! UNWORTHY?!"

General Jing Yuan replies, "Teng Xiao, as general of the Luofu, was commander-in-chief of the Cloud Knights. Ignamar commanded the heliobi. The two were as great as the sky and the earth — equally matched like yin and yang. It is only natural that they were worthy opponents.

As it stands, I am the general of the Luofu...but you are no Ignamar. Merely a prisoner. If you wish to engage me in battle, you must follow my rules. Defeat my army — only then will I grant you the fight you seek."

Cirrus asks, "...Your army?"

"That's right. You must defeat my four companions gathered here — then you will have proven yourself a worthy opponent."

The green-haired woman stutters, "Wait...he means us?! W-W-W-We'll be okay, right?"

The grey-haired male asks with a sigh, "Can we practice our masterstrokes first?"

The red-haired woman exclaims, "Why is the general putting his trust in us? I'm too young to die!"

...

Quite a reliable-seeming group he has got here, huh.

Anyway, Cirrus laughs and asks, "...So I only need to beat your pawns here?"

Jing Yuan merely chuckles at the response, saying, "It would serve you well not to underestimate them. They are as skilled in combat as they are tenacious in spirit. I worry they might pose a problem for you.

If you win, you can have your rematch. If you lose, you will answer one question of their choice — no lies, no tricks. Can you accept these terms?"

Cirrus makes a considering hum, before replying, "It's a deal! The game is set — the platform will be our chessboard, and the fighters will be the pieces!"

Bright yellow-green fire suddenly spread across the ground, etching together a multitude of squares. It seems that this was a herald of the conflict to begin.

In a flash, the battle between Cirrus and the party is over just like that. Once that occurs, the creature seems quite indignant once again, shouting, "Hmph, don't get complacent — if I had all of Ignamar's power, I'd never have lost to the likes of you!"

Jing Yuan merely states, "Should you decide to try again, my offer still stands...but you must defeat them."

Cirrus snaps, "Then what are we waiting for?!"

Though, this time, the nervous green-haired woman seems prepared, speaking up swiftly, "Not so fast! Before we fight again, you need to answer one question, like you promised."

Just like that, Cirrus is grumbling right away even if given a response. "Pesky devil of a girl...alright, what's your question?"

The young woman in question replies, "Look... is this something a heliobus could have done?"

Then, the grey-haired male in the group takes out his phone, showing Cirrus what appears to be a post (article) about someone named "Bailu's" unexplainable and immediate disappearance.

At this, Cirrus simply responds, "There are countless heliobi that escaped the Creation Furnace, and every one of them could have done such a thing. It could have been vengeance, curiosity, or simply hunger...so how would I know which one abducted your Dragon Lady?"

Though there seems to be a pause as Cirrus seems to consider something. Then he says, "Of course, I do have my suspicions. For example, Luxie..."

The way that sentence ends up trailing off for a moment prompts a question from the grey-haired young man, who asks, "What kind of heliobus is Luxie?"

Cirrus replies, "Luxie loves mischief. They give no thought to interfering in mortal affairs — their only concerns are entertainment and freedom. Among all the fragments of Ignamar, the one most likely to abduct your precious Dragon Lady...would be Luxie.

We were sealed away for a thousand years — it's been ages since we last tasted the joys and sorrows of the world of humans. I'm sure Luxie was eager to find a new friend and wander the world with them."

At this point, the young green-haired woman says, "I think they're telling the truth...Heliobi do have different personalities, and they can be influenced by the personality of their host. If a heliobus possesses a great warrior, they might gradually take on a braver, fiercer persona...and if their host is a playful child, they might adopt a childlike spirit."

The red-haired young woman gives a considering hum as she replies, "'Wander the world with them,' It sounds like Lady Bailu would've been an ideal target — she's always running off to play in Aurum Alley."

The green-haired woman then says, "Mm...this intel should be a big help."

"Hey! We're not done here! You still owe me a fight!"

The grey-haired male simply replies, "We have to run some errands — be patient!"

Cirrus huffs, "You bunch of meat bags! One minor victory and you think you're something special! Come on, show me what you've got!"

Ignoring Cirrus' comments, Jing Yuan turns to face the grey-haired male and simply says, "The clues are all pointing in the same direction now. It would be wise to strike while the iron is hot."

The brunette says, "Thank you for your help, general. Let's get going!"

Sure enough, the group sans Jing Yuan and Cirrus runs off.

But, the showcase of memories does not end there. No, it seems that the scene changes to a later time, where those in the group return to Jing Yuan and Cirrus talking...sans the brunette.

Apparently their sudden showing up alarms Jing Yuan enough to ask, "Is something the matter? You seem out of breath."

The grey-haired male tells Jing Yuan about encountering a blond by the name of Yanqing who apparently was possessed by a heliobus. As well as conjuring illusions at a place called Dragonprayer Terrace.

Of what kind?

Well, Jing Yuan says, "A heliobus that creates illusion for the sole purpose of instructing someone in swordplay? I wouldn't mind learning a few tricks from them myself. Unfortunately, it sounds like this one is a little too aggressive to be a decent sparring partner. This is not an adversary that someone as young as Yanqing is equipped to deal with."

The green-haired woman says, "General, we need to move fast — if we wait any longer, I'm afraid that Sushang might be —"

Jing Yuan responds, "I understand your sense of urgency. But before I leave, I have a question for Cirrus, who has been listening this whole time — I trust you are familiar with Apyra..."

Cirrus says, "Naturally. Among the heliobi, Apyra manifests the courage and warring spirit of Ignamar — they are the most aggressive of all the fragments...but who is this swordmaster? Who is Yanqing?"

Jing Yuan replies succinctly, "My apprentice."

Cirrus seems amused upon the next reply, giggling. "No wonder I smell a hint of sadness in you...in order to rescue his incompetent apprentice, the master must fight on the battlefield himself? I must say, I'm very envious of Apyra..."

Unimpressed, the General states, "You know the flavor of sadness, but not its meaning. An apprentice obsessed with victory and defeat has lost his mind to a heliobus, and is now trying to shortcut his way to mastery of the sword. This is my failure to him as a master, and the source of the grief you see in me now."

Cirrus replies, "Then you should hurry — Apyra has an insatiable blood lust. Once they've enslaved your mind, they can make you turn against your friends, your kin...even your own master.

Go. I don't wish to delay your deathmatch with your apprentice."

The scene, still part of the same memory, merely seems to shift to a view of that brunette from earlier looking down at a blond-haired boy with golden eyes. There are a multitude of blue swords spinning around them; the area is somewhere outside where it is far brighter, as well as surrounded by water except for the platform they happen to be standing upon.

A voice speaks from seemingly the sword formation itself, saying, "Young one, you're hesitating again. You're always hesitation.

Your opponent is no match for you, yet they have managed to fend you off for this long. As a swordsman, have you not any pride? Do you want to repeat the disaster you suffered at Dragonprayer Terrace?

It's time to finish it. Only blood can cleanse the shame of the sword."

It seems that this conversation has been overheard. As, just in time, Jing Yuan arrives properly, once in the distance with his other three companions, and now properly walking upon the terrace. He says, "He won't do it."

The blond startles, muttering, "General..."

The distorted, distance voice suddenly speaks once more, "Young one, your old teacher has arrived.

Under his tutelage, you never experienced true failure. But after suffering your first major setback, your confidence in your swordsmanship has been faltering.

You worry that the General is disappointed in you. You worry that you don't have what it takes to be the person the General wants you to be. Now...show him what I have taught you. He'll be very proud of your progress. Tell him that with your sword, you will bring victory to the Xianzhou!"

The blond hair boy replies distantly, "With...With my sword..."

General Jing Yuan declares confidently, "Yanqing would never draw his sword on me to prove himself. I have confidence in him.

This confidence is not a belief that he will win every contest...it is a belief that he will one day break free from the paradigm of victory and defeat and realize his true reason for wielding the sword.

The pleasure of swordsmanship, the saving of life, and the dispatchment of enemies...

The truth must be discovered by himself — no one can teach it to him."

That's right. Jing Yuan firmly believes most of all that one can lead a horse to water, but one certainly can't make it drink. So he says, with finality, "Now is the time for him to take that step."

"General...I..."

That shadowy, manipulative voice asks, "Break free from victory and defeat? Those are just empty words to comfort the dead and the defeated! Think of your crushing defeat at Dragonprayer Terrace! Think of how you felt then — teetering on the brink of death."

Yanqing takes pause and his expression seems conflicted as the voice speaks once more. "If the sword of that Stellaron Hunter had pierced your flesh, you wouldn't be standing here, pondering the meaning of victory and defeat. Now is the time to break all your chains. Draw your sword on your master — to the general who is trying to imprison you...draw your sword!"

Then, Yanqing...says in an unsteady voice, "General...allow me...to demonstrate my swordsmanship. I hereby challenge you..."

To that? It seems that despite everything, despite Jing Yuan's words, he can only...

...smile.

Then Yanqing's expression looks surprised at the look he is given in turn. As if it shakes him to his core. Then, he turns on the heel of his foot, away from General Jing Yuan and his allies. Instead, still, towards the blue swords floating above them, shouting in a tone far more certain, far more confident, "Apyra! I challenge! I challenge these swords, to battle!"

The voice bitterly states, "...Young fool, how disappointing. Your accomplishments would have been limitless...but you were led astray by empty idealism."

Then a circular-like creature colored in crimson red, and wreathed in crimson fire appears before them all. Evidently Apyra since it was addressed before, and matched the voice that has been speaking to Yanqing. The creature says, "None of that matters anymore. While teaching you, I studied your every move inside out...and now you wish to throw down the gauntlet. Very well. In your own image and with your own techniques, I will teach you one final lesson!"

With that, the memory comes to an abrupt end.

In Media Res ~ The General and the Stars

2024-05-21T22:55:15Z

Just like before, it seems the memory starts up once again, though there seems to be interference...or static at certain points also present.

"—Don't be too harsh, Yukong. If this gets out, the whole galaxy will think the Alliance has forgotten how to treat our guests."

The voice belongs to none other than Jing Yuan, who walks forward with a little smile on his face, which fades away soon enough. He looks a bit different than usual—his appearance transparent, highlighted by a bright blue. Not too much like the small tree positioned behind him.

Holographic.

The woman he addresses looks at him—her appearance is clear. Dark green hair, amethyst eyes with fox-like ears that sit upon her head, though she seems to have a commanding aura nonetheless. Still, here she looks surprised, speaking Jing Yuan's name.

Jing Yuan interrupts her, turning elsewhere, "It is very unlikely that the Express has joined forces with the Stellaron Hunters. They are mortal enemies, after all."

His words and attention seem to be temporarily directed towards on a group of three individuals standing nearby. A young lady with shoulder-length pink hair, a grey-haired male, and an older, brown-haired man with glasses.

Then, after that, Jing Yuan grants an apology and introduces himself with his name, along with whatever he says after that, which seems to be obscured.

Yukong frowns and turns towards Jing Yuan, her words spoken over some static, "...this is an internal affair for the Luofu..."

Jing Yuan smiles brightly as he turns to face her, responding, "I fully agree with you, Helm Master Yukong; this is indeed an internal affair."

After that, he turns back to the three saying, "I am sorry, guests of the Astral Express. It is true that there is Stellaron on the Luofu, but I'm afraid I cannot accept your kind offer to help resolve the issue. This is a Xianzhou matter, and..."

Suddenly, the scene seems to glitch once again to another scene entirely.

Kurapika now sees three figures stand in a large, spacious room with red pillars, and a myriad decorations, including symbols of dragons spaced here or there, alongside a window into the stars above.

One is Jing Yuan, one is a blond-haired young boy, and one is a holographic projection of a young woman with long hair.

Addressing the projection, Jing Yuan asks, "[STATIC]...What do you make of it?"

She seems to merely scoff, placing one hand on her hip. "What do I make of it? 'The way of heaven is apparent, but the heart of humanity is often deceptive.' Are you...[STATIC]...their true intentions?"

Jing Yuan crosses his arms as he says, "That won't be necessary. The crew has nothing to do with the incident, of that I am almost certain. It isn't their intentions that trouble me. All I want is for them to lure out the one we're after."

She blinks and asks, "Wasn't that my idea, [STATIC]?"

"Indeed, your counsel has always been of great help to me. You may use your discretion on the matters ahead of us."

She huffs and asks, "Why don't you [STATIC] and I use my discretion full-time?"

One gets the feeling that this is a question this young lady has asked many times before, judging by her tone. At this, Jing Yuan only manages to laugh. "It is still too soon, unfortunately. If something goes wrong, you'll need [STATIC] to take the blame. How could I simply walk away and put you at such risk?"

"If you brought me that Blade earlier, none of this would've been necessary. Wait, what are you up to exactly? Jing Yuan, did you...let him escape on purpose?!"

Jing Yuan turns away from the hologram, walking to position himself on the other side of the table nearby, crossing his arms as he laughs once more. "Me? I had no idea he might escape! Unlike you, my gaze never travels beyond the horizon. I take full responsibility—the...[STATIC]...failed in their duty."

"Hmph, I can understand. There's a lot to take care of on the Xianzhou—you were bound to miss something. Thank goodness I'm here..."

She pauses and then says, "On that note, perhaps it's about time you finally nominate me as your successor when [STATIC] next convene..."

Jing Yuan merely replies, "Yes, yes, yes...I have to go now—I'll leave this in your overwhelmingly capable hands, Fu Xuan."

As she is about to surely protest, he turns the hologram off. After which, the general sighs to himself. "There are three things in the world that I can't seem to ride myself of: the troubles of the Xianzhou, the papers on my desk, and the weeds in my garden."

The blond boy beside him finally speaks up, saying, "[STATIC] wants the general's position for herself. Everyone knows that."

"She is very capable, but her intellect is burdened by a quick temper. I'll retire when she's achieved a better balance."

Then, the boy speaks up again. "This Stellaron thing is easy. Blade escaped, now we gotta go get him. Just say the word and I'll solve this in a flash."

Jing Yuan unfolds his arms, walking on over to the blond as he replies, "I can understand your impatience, and I know you want to prove yourself. Now is not the time. If you truly wish to become..."

His next words are also obscured here.

The young boy tsks and asks, "You think I'd lose to Blade?"

"I'm saying you need to have patience, Yanqing. [STATIC] Xianzhou is different from a sword fight. The only way to build momentum is to work slowly. Besides, we still don't know who's really moving the chess pieces..."

Jing Yuan casts a gaze towards where a game lies with pieces upon it. "There is something we must take care of before making our next move. As long as it remains unresolved, we're at a stalemate. That something is the Stellaron."

A stalemate can be a condition of victory. But not like this. Jing Yuan's eyes narrow for a moment, expression unreadable as he asks, "How did it manage to by-pass the Sky-Faring Commission's inspections and the.....Commission's predictions? Where is it now?"

Yanqing excitedly suggests, "I say we bring those two Stellaron Hunters...[STATIC]...she'll get an answer out of them in no time."

Jing Yuan turns his gaze towards where the stars lie and says, "I've asked our friends from the Express to take care of that for us. Worry not, you'll have your moment when the current stalement is broken. You are my most trusted aide, and there are some things I would only assign to you."

As he says this, Yanqing pouts, turns away, and begins to walk off. Though, Jing Yuan is still facing away as he continues to speak, "Speaking of which, Yanqing..."

When Jing Yuan turns around, the blond boy is nowhere to be found, making him sigh. "That boy..."

He smiles wryly to himself as he mutters, "I suppose it is my fault. I should have given him an opportunity already. 'A sharp sword can't stay sheathed forever,' haha..."

But he shakes his head. "My fear is that this might prove too big a setback, bigger than his exuberance..."

Herald of Disaster ~ Even Immortality Ends

2024-05-21T17:41:20Z

Shinjiro can witness that there are a number of individuals gathered in a place that seems filled with strange ruins, floating above ground, broken from wear and tear, or otherwise still barely standing.

Jing Yuan himself is there, alongside a few fellows like a very short long pink haired woman, a male with long black hair and green eyes, and another woman with pink hair, though short. There is also a brown-haired elder man, and a grey short-haired male.

At this time, Jing Yuan speaks, "My astral guests, when you first appeared on the Luofu, your stated aim was the resolution of the Stellaron crisis. I was concerned that the Stellaron Hunters harbored ulterior motives and refused your offer. I see now that I was overly anxious."

After that moment of pause, he even smiles, stating, "Nevertheless, it is true that the motives of the Stellaron Hunters were not what they appeared, haha. In order that the Express and the Xianzhou fight side bye side, Kafka lured you here and broaden the scope of the crisis...in doing so, she succeeded in making clear that your sincerity is beyond doubt. The Luofu is in your debt, and I have no right to seek further assistance from you."

There's a pause as a grave expression comes over Jing Yuan, and he says, "However, as Lady Fu has explained, the appearance of Phantylia means that the situation is far from under our control. As general of the Luofu, it would be foolish of me not to ask Dan Heng and the rest of you for your strength at this critical moment."

The brown-haired male with glasses speaks up, saying, "Even if the crisis on the Luofu had nothing to do with the Stellaron, I would be willing to help...but I can't speak for the other members of my crew."

The three crewmembers, Dan Heng included (revealed by when the pink-haired lady speaks his name) decide to throw their lot in with the brunet. Jing Yuan smiles, saying, "Thank you, Dan Heng."

When Jing Yuan is asked what the master plan is...he simply states that there is none. Only a bet on Dan Heng's capabilities.

Then, after further discussion, Dan Heng manages to make what appears to be the sea part to reveal more hidden ruins and something like a draconic apparition up ahead. Jing Yuan strides forward to get a better look at everything.

Following his appraisal of its appearance, he turns his attention to the short long haired woman, asking for her to come forward, to which she answers in affirmation.

"Remain here — lead the Cloud Knights in defense of this passage. We must prevent further incidents."

She seems startled at this as she asks, "Jing Yuan...General, are you planning to face Phantylia alone?"

At that, Jing Yuan turns his attention towards Dan Heng and his friends as he replies, "I wouldn't say so, I'll be counting on a few friends for support."

Soldiers begin to protest, only for Jing Yuan to deny their assistance, and then say, "You have a more important duty. Cloud Knights, attention! After I enter the Ambrosial Arbor, and if the seawater returns to its original state, you must withdraw immediately and seal off the delve once more. The Master Diviner will lead you."

After hearing their affirmative response, he says quieter to Fu, "Lady Fu, if I am unable to return, I entrust you with the important task of relaying the full account to the other Xianzhou ships."

After that, the scene changes to the group who is making their way to the Ambrosial Arbor. All the way before they are standing before a bridge, where the draconic figure rests ever closer; Jing Yuan stops to ask, "I hope everyone is prepared?"

With affirmations being received, Dan Heng works his magic once again, the draconic seal breaking with a raise of a hand and application of strange magic.

Their surroundings seem shrouded in mostly fog and cloud, but also branches and leaves that reach as well as sprout from the unknown. There is a strangely colored flame of some sort, and from it a female's voice speaks, "Oh? Hee-hee, has the general of the Luofu chosen to grace me with his presence?"

The pink short-haired lady shouts, "That witch! She was waiting for us the whole time. Show yourself, Phantylia!"

Phantylia merely asks them to wait for herself to be made presentable.

Jing Yuan commands a little after the creature speaks, "All of you ready yourselves. Dan Heng, guard my back. I'm counting on you."

Dan Heng replies, "Understood."

After that, Phantylia's wisp-like being drops upon the small platform she had been floating above, seeming to wreathe it in unnatural flame, which spirals up above a certain point. Then, with a light flash of yellow, it reveals a larger figure, standing tall.

The battle for the Xianzhou Luofu has begun.

The creature states, "Benefactors, behold this beautiful body...the miracles of Abundance live up to the name.

The very power that brough the Xianzhou long life, I will use it to bring destruction!"

Jing Yuan sets out his command, "Phantylia has usurped the power of the Arbor...all of you — focus on destroying the phantom flowers — I'll go for the body."

As they fight, fiercer than ever, she makes a few smart remarks, to which Jing Yuan makes commentary on the fact the weeds in his garden give him more trouble. This makes her all the more amused, catching her attention for his apparent arrogance; but even so, they fight fiercer than ever. Her forms shift, from blue-colored to yellow as they beat down her health.

Jing Yuan's voice is raised as he continues to talk smack. "So much effort to crush us, and met with so little success...I wonder what the other Ravagers would think."

She frowns, saying, "It's almost as if you can't wait to be acquainted with them...I'm afraid you won't have the chance."

Finally, after they beat her down once more, Phantylia makes a rather unfortunate declaration, "For my next trick, I shall turn each one of you into my Voidrangers. The power of the Destruction will eat away at your flesh and transform you into pawns of the great Nanook!"

She then sneers as she turns her attention towards Jing Yuan, entrapping him within a lotus like contraption that conjures a strange energy that paralyzes him, "Let's start with this arrogant Xianzhou General..."

Once it reaches its apex, seeming to slam down into him, Jing Yuan is brought to one knee, glaive on the floor, nothing to say.

She then raises one hand only to bring it down, purple energy then resulting in forcing Jing Yuan to be suspended mid-air. Sickly green and blue energy forcibly enters into the man's body from a myriad directions. All things considered, it appears as unpleasant as it looks, though he certainly hardly makes a sound. She chuckles as she asks, "I wonder if the transformation of a Xianzhou general into a Void Ranger...would cast the Luofu back into chaos?"

"Destruction works in fascinating ways."

Then, Jing Yuan looks up at her in defiance, and she seems perturbed as she asks, "What are you—"

After laying prone in the air Jing Yuan struggles with a ferocity that makes it apparent he is not about to take it lying down, with a strange gold light enveloping him as well as his eyes. All at the same time a part of Phantylia is smashed into pieces by something.

Then, he shouts as he clenches his right hand into a tight fist, "Dan Heng! Do it—"

Does one remember? When Jing Yuan stated he had no plan?

That he had nothing in store, only to rely on Dan Heng's capabilities?

There is a sense that somehow, his words while true, had not exactly scraped the entire truth.

Behind the creature is a towering, golden phantasm of a monstrosity, standing about 626 feet tall and wide, with a spear in hand, ready to bring it down upon Phantylia at the same time Dan Heng answers Jing Yuan's call.

All the same, Dan Heng's spear pierces into Jing Yuan's back with terrifying and startling accuracy with all the force of Permanence's Scion behind it, at the same time the golden creature brings its own weapon down into Phantylia. It is as ruthless and damaging as it looks, both to Jing Yuan and Phantylia, the latter of which crumbles in the face of such power. As for Jing Yuan?

He can only be accepting of the result, the wound having it not just made itself apparent on the creature that connected her life to his, but his own as well, red tinted where it landed. The spear had dispersed from where it once impaled him and once it had, he can only accept the result, causing Jing Yuan's eyes to close shut, and he falls, down, down—

Frigid Reunion From Above Clouds

2024-05-21T04:26:15Z

There is a place that seems enshrined in darkness, with a chill that also seems to follow mercilessly right after. Though there is light streaming upon the ground, illuminating the strange symbols shown here or there. A man walks upon this path, and someone is looking down on the man from a platform raised above this ground; this someone is evidently Jing Yuan himself who clears his throat, which makes the blond long-haired male halt in his steps.

Jing Yuan's voice calls out, "All who enter here...are either jailers...or prisoners. Which are you?"

Behind the blond are soldiers who creep up from behind, steps as silent as passing clouds.

The blond-haired man responds, "Neither. I'm merely a lost traveler."

From atop the platform, Jing Yuan walks forward to close the distance, footsteps confident as he says with dramatic flair, 'What a spectacle! The Stellaron, the Ambroisal Arbor, the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, the Lord Ravager..."

He steps past the other man as the soldiers pull back their spears, continuing to speak and continuing these dramatics, "...a series of threats, that almost succeeded in diverting attention away...from the crucial question..."

Within a heartbeat of a moment, Jing Yuan summons his glaive from nowhere into his right hand. In the next moment, he points it directly at the back of the blond's head as the guards get into fighting position, questioning, "They who brought the Stellaron onto the Xianzhou...what was their motive?"

Jing Yuan's words are sharp as he offers another question, without giving the man a moment to answer:

"Will you surrender, or do you require encouragement? Abomination of Yaoshi."

The blond simply responds with a humorous tone as if telling a joke, "General, my power does indeed stem from the Abundance. But I'm the same as you."

Then he turns around to face Jing Yuan as snowflakes begin to fall, continuing to speak. "We are both enemies of Yaoshi."

A female's voice enters into the area, saying, "That's right, Jing Yuan. Stay out of our way."

The soldiers with Jing Yuan nervously begin to back up as the woman's voice, cold as ever, is heard across the area. "The revival of the Arbor is an omen. It's time for the Xianzhou to choose its next path."

Through the cold mist and fog walks in a woman wearing a black blindfold with a crescent moon in the midst of it. Her hair is long and white, her steps quiet as the soldiers who came before her, yet judging by the way the cool fog disperses into the air around her, she clearly is the one causing the strange ice-like phenomenon. "The Reignbow Arbiter, the Plagues Author, the Ruin Author...this is chess game between Aeons. If you don't stand with the winners, you stand to lose."

Then, just like that, the memory shifts, ending with a look of consternation from Jing Yuan, who appears more intense at this potentially unknown intruder.

Instead it changes to somewhere else. A place filled with ruins, where the sunlight reaches vaguely through clouds.

Scalegorge Waterscape is a place that is as empty as ever except for a number of players; for better these days, given the tainted history.

The area resting above the waters sees the occupation of a few folks—a certain beautiful man with long blond hair and radiant, green eyes. One who smiles in a way to indicate his purposeful obscuring of whatever secrets lay within him, and perhaps the coffin that he brings alongside him.

"As a follower of the Reingbow Arbiter, you have witnessed the catastrophe brought upon by the Plagues Author, General. Living beings turning into undying monsters, eventually used as sacrifices to the Abundance.

What do you think should be done to put an end to it...General?"

The blond speaks in the exact kind of tone one might suggest he is leading to a certain point. But evidently, he is taking his sweet time getting there. "The Alliance follows the Reingbow Arbiter's edict—to continue ridding the world of evil, so that one day Yaoshi might be vanquished and the cycle of life and death restored.

Under the auspices of the Reingbow Arbitor, the faithful Cloud Knights continue the Hunt. Their devotion and sacrifices are indeed commendable...but their devotedness has made them close-minded."

Jing Yuan does not seem all that excited, though he is quiet where others would certainly have words to raise in how he phrased certain things. The man, who likes to hear the sound of his voice, says, "Take me, for example. My powers originate from the Abundance, yet my goals are aligned with the Alliance. The Hunt is not the only faction in the unvierse that wants Yaoshi dead."

It is then that the blond man speaks of a way to sever the curse bestowed upon the Aeon, Yaoshi. Only to imply that Jing Yuan's Master found a solution to the problem of "mara".

To that of which Jing Yuan can only say the following, "...I'm listening."

But, he finds that the man only acts to withhold that information for an audience on another ship instead. Which seems to matter little, when other players arrive following Jing Yuan's compliment of the other man's play. One of which is a black-haired male, commenting on the fact that Jing Yuan has changed, for he would have never admitted to weakness in any way in the past.

Jing Yuan pays it no mind, as a woman with long white hair and a blindfold asks for the blond to be taken away. Instead, as the other man departs, alongside a blond-haired boy, that leaves only four main ones:

Jing Yuan.

A man with short dark hair and green eyes.

The woman with a blind fold.

And a man with dark hair and crimson eyes.

Thus is the setting where this woman begins her speech, Jing Yuan one of those who can only watch as she speaks in the haunting silence that entombs their surroundings, "...And so, everyone is present. I never thought the High-Cloud Quintet would be able to gather again in the same place after hundreds of years."

Yet, there's only four of them, isn't there?

So it is with this, she continues her speech, "If I remember correctly, the five of us made a promise here seven centuries ago. We promised that no matter what happened, we would gather here together, and share a drink.

How sad that Scalegorge Waterscape remains empty while the world continues to turn. Some of us have been reborn, while others were denied death. Some have become criminals, while others...can no longer fulfill their promises. And in the end, our friendship is no more."

She speaks on more matters, that are unheard through the memory itself; unimportant or perhaps simple fluff that can be easily dismissed, until she's turning her attention towards the man with black short hair, saying, "Dan Heng, you can never escape the shadow of Imbibitor Lunae. He is your origin, and his sins will accompany you in your path forward until you meet your eventual doom."

Then, to the man with a cold look, crimson eyes, and long hair. "Blade...what a fitting name. In the remainder of your infinite life, you will experience only murder and your own death, all the while pleading for a place to rest. This is the only way you are able to relinquish Yingxing's regrets."

Finally, this woman walks forward, passing by Jing Yuan, whose gaze follows her quietly as she finishes with, "And I...will face the punishment of the Alliance and suffer an eternal punishment...before paying an even worse price...

That is the only way to keep the memory of the pain of the past...from fading away. High-Cloud Quintet...it is time to say good-bye."

Though, even as she concludes her speech, she seems to have more words to exchange with Jing Yuan, asking, "Jing Yuan, is it not time you sent me to the Xuling?"

At this, Jing Yuan seems to consider her question, before folding his arms and responding, "The laws of the Alliance cannot be subject to change...Unfortunately, your next stop will be the Yuque. I reported everything to the marshal, and the Seer Strategist just so happened to take an interest in the case—they set up a Deca-Light Reflection Barrier in hopes of meeting the two of you beforehand."

Yet, there is a slight smile on his face, despite him saying these words.

Jingliu raises a brow as she gestures with one hand, saying, "Jing Yuan...you haven't changed at all—always trying to destroy the plans of others...

But in the end, whether it be you, me, the Cloud Knights, or the generals of the Reignbow Arbiter...we are all just pawns in a game of the gods. I am sick and tired of treading on a predetermined path."

She seems to pause, before deciding at last, to say, "No matter. I will deviate if you insist, but this does not change how things will end. Ultimately, I will stand on the side of victory."

Then, Jing Yuan's eyes narrow as he says, "Then I shall see this gamble through."

Inevitable Descent ~ Promise Fulfilled

2024-05-21T02:14:57Z

There is a picturesque image of a family, seen watching a young baby boy with golden eyes and fluffy white hair. Which, for certain, can only be Jing Yuan, given the running theme in viewing memories. A couple of older family members set down some objects:

A scroll, a boardgame of some sort, a toy sword, and other miscellaneous things.

It becomes what reason they have to do this in the first place. Which is, based upon snippets that can be heard amongst some of the elder folks, that this is the way of their "Foxian ancestors", though neither single one of them happen to be sporting any overly fox-like features.

Something like this moment will decide this young child's future.

They seem hopeful, until the young one crawls to the toy sword and grabs a hold of it with relish. Dismay and apprehension colors their features.

After all...how could this be?! They have served the Realm-Keeping Commission for generations! Becoming a soldier is beneath them.

But, try as they might, only one fact became certain:

No one could fight fate.

Indeed, this proved to be the case as the memory shifted to the child, a bit older now. A woman asks words as she draws her blade, "Heed this Oath: As Clouds that cover the Heavens, will the Knights protect the Xianzhou. Draw!"

Just like that, Jing Yuan repeats the words with vigor and excitement, "Yes, Master! As Clouds that cover the Heavens, will the knights protect the Xianzhou!"

After young Jing Yuan draws his blade, the scene shifts to one where he is swinging a sword with his Master standing over him. She commands, "Hold firm! A Cloud Knight must never never slip their weapon, nor let slacken their form!"

"Yes, master!"

With a swing of the blade, the memory is cut through, to reveal another one almost as if in easy sequence.

But, nothing in this scene is static or peaceful. Fire licks up all around, foundations falling underneath the roaring conflagration, with a shadowed soldier that seems to twitch, and writhe unnatturally. Older, but still younger, does Jing Yuan stand, with his Master behind him. Uncertainty for once written across his face, hesitance in his form as he says, "Master...he doesn't recognize us."

The creature they face appears to be that soldier in armor, but where one's eyes would normally be glimpsed through the helmet, only then can be witnessed one certain fact:

Those crimson eyes are no sign of a friendly ally.

"So it is with the mara-stuck," The woman behind him states as she unsheathes her blade.

But, Jing Yuan just stands there, paralyzed. It's apparent he can't bear to strike down a once-known ally; a comrade. Unfortunately, the Mara-stuck soldier writhes and then lashes out, and the young man shouts in surprise and dismay, movements out of sorts, leaving him wide open. A moment later, his Master has cut it down in a flash, doing what he could not muster up the wherewithal to manage.

"To become stricken with mara is to be a long-life species. If I too become stiken in times hereafter, you must not hold back."

Hesitantly, Jing Yuan replies, "Yes...master..."

Finally, there is one portion of this section of memories to play out.

Words are spoken to Jing Yuan as he sees a certain woman on her knees, sounds of pain and distress emerging from her. "No sense of time, humanity waning, a serious case. You should leave, Jing Yuan.

Jingliu is already—"

Then, he witnesses ice suddenly spill outwards, and outwards—and soon, it is clear what is next upon the two. Master and student, standing on separate sides of the battlefield.

Jing Yuan fights her fiercely, as he has to, since Jingliu quick. Inhumanly so. Despite her speed and madness, he matches her blow for blow, until his movements start to drag with hesitance.

Until she nearly cuts through him. Until she slashes and forces him to tumble backwards. Until he looks at her and wills himself to stand taller.

Until his eyes glow golden and an extraordinarily large being stands over him as he shouts, "Your gift of instruction...I repay in this strike!"

Jing Yuan is wreathed in gold, and then with the bringing down of his glaive, so too does this large phantasm do the same with its blade, sending all into white. And Jingliu seems to simply fade away with the final strike, smile on her face.

From Cradle to ...

2024-05-21T02:02:57Z

It is most certainly a cloudy and rainy day upon the Xianzhou Luofu. There is a man walking in the midst of such a torrential downpour, with a contingent of soldiers. But even as he is ushered somewhere towards where there is shelter, this man, who is clearly Jing Yuan seems to spot something.

A bundle lying in the streets. It's unclear as to whether or not this was done deliberately or simply in a hurry. Anything could have been the cause.

But, despite any protests from the nearby soldiers, Jing Yuan picks the bundle up, to reveal a young baby with golden eyes.

Jing Yuan smiles softly, and then decides to take this young one home with him.

The settings contort still to somewhere else and a few brief flashes give a little more context based upon flickering images of others. Soldiers, generals, other individuals, and Jing Yuan himself.

The boy's name is named Yanqing by Jing Yuan, who raises him by his lonesome, and eventually the young boy begins to follow in Jing Yuan's footsteps as a soldier. The unknown origins and the fact that Jing Yuan is raising a child by himself, as a respectable man and General gets sideglances, and there are times where some advise him to think twice, but...especially when Yanqing joins the Cloud Knights.

Jing Yuan merely shoos them away, or at worst, falls asleep when it comes to anyone attempting to lecture him.

Then, finally, one last flash of a memory is upon them. More coherent, more clear.

A place still on the Xianzhou Alliance, where the sky is radiant, not cloudy. Where lights shine down on two in the midst of a training session...involving a blond-haired boy with golden eyes and Jing Yuan.

It is not much of a surprise that the blond is not gaining much ground, if any. He even shouts, "General, let's call it a day! I'm exhausted..."

Jing Yuan smiles. Then, he replies, "Didn't you say you have the confidence to remain undefeated as long as you hold a sword? Why are you acting so weak?"

That's right, even he can be very critical in his responses. The blond-haired boy looks reluctant, though, protesting, "What kind of retainer would take up arms against the person they vowed to protect? What if I accidentally hurt..."

Jing Yuan seems to definitely not like that, tsking as his eyes take on an unsettling glow as he shouts, "If your sword is half as quick as your mouth, I'd already have lost. I'll keep one hand behind my back. Now, be quick!"

"No no, two hands please! Or maybe you can consider not using the Lightning-Lord, general?"

Another clash between them results, and in a second, the blond-haired boy is already on the backfoot, unsurprisingly. The glow dims, but Jing Yuan's glaive is merciless as he pursues the other. He huffs, "Do you believe this is like the Sky-Faring Commission's business, where you can barter your way out? Hmm, let me see..."

But then Yanqing decides to try to strike, thinking he has Jing Yuan in the midst of his thoughts, blade swinging wildly. "Aha — a weakness! Watch this!"

Jing Yuan strikes back in time, shouting, "I knew you'd do that. Counter!"

The force sends his trainee tumbling to the ground, grumbling, "Ow-ow-ow, darn it! I'd been waiting for ages for my shot."

Looking self-satisfied, Jing Yuan can only smile as he states, "All's equal in war, and sneak attacks are a good idea. It's too bad your sword is so focused on the flourish and can't conceal its form. Is this what they call youthful vigor?"

But, even so, despite everything, it appears that his opponent isn't ready to concede. Not yet, given that Yanqing stands to his feet, pointing his sword at Jing Yuan.

"General, let's go again! This time I'll try to be as inconspicuous as possible..."

And just like that, the memory fades, swiftly, but certainly.

(Im)permanent Shackles of Duty (cw: torture mentions)

2024-05-20T21:55:16Z

In one moment, the surroundings from the forest appear clear as day, only to suddenly twist into something else. The sensation is almost too-real, the frost of the area washing over even harsher still than that of the North. Instantly, it is as the knowledge that the reason for this is clear (or unclear for Khun or anyone else not Jing Yuan), with the frigidity of this place belonging to an area where criminals cannot hope to ever break free on their own.

To try is to exercise futility.

To defy is to practice complete foolishness.

A familiar voice rings out in the darkness:

Jing Yuan's.

"Dan Feng, guilty of unpardonable sin...in light of past merit, the sentence shall be commuted to molting rebirth, and eternal banishment."

Khun's perspective narrows to the viewpoint of an individual walking upon solid ground, and in a place encased in unfriendly darkness. There are words exchanged with this person in particular, but he should know the cadence of those very well, particularly since it belongs to a certain Jing Yuan. There are gaps in sections where they may speak, making it at first difficult to discern the topic. But it becomes clear the name "Shacking Prison" refers to the area they are in. The only ray of light that exists is where he walks.

Whoever beside him asks if he is certain with the decision.

Jing Yuan merely enters into the cell of the criminal.

The name of which is announced as follows:

Dan Heng, reincarnated from the seditionist, Imbibitor Lunae—Dan Feng. The latter of which, now upon completion of this molting rebirth, is no more.

It not just the cold that is unforgiving, but it is also the treatment. Prisoners are often left alone, but this one was beaten, bruised, and otherwise hurt, so it is no surprise those blue eyes are hard when they first look upon who enters.

But soon, the gaze changes, seeming to recognize whoever entered as no warden or enemy. Dan Heng briefly seems to gaze upon Jing Yuan like he is the sun in the midst of the darkness.

As Jing Yuan orders the Cloud Knights to attend to him, as well as to release him from his bonds. For seemingly just practical reasons, though the personal effects Jing Yuan has ordered to give and the like seem unnecessary to hand over to someone in exile.

His voice carries easily throughout the area, though there is a tinge of bittersweetness upon his tone.

With the memory becoming quite a bit more murkier and changing to different places still, that in of itself is eventually called into question.

What is painted before them is a place much more welcoming, with the temperature becoming much more bearable. Warmer.

Even the cast changes, just a little from the small number of figures walking across the beach. Soldiers, but Jing Yuan as well as Dan Heng being two of them who can be observed as immediately identifiable individuals.

Jing Yuan strolls straight into the midst of where four others stand (with one blond who raises up.) The other three consist of a woman with red hair, the other certainly Dan Heng, and the other is a tall black-haired male with crimson eyes. When Jing Yuan speaks, his tone is full of humor as he says, "Many years have passed since the two of you departed the Xianzhou, and yet the circumstances of your return appear to be equally unhappy. If you still thought of me as a friend, you should've forewarned me."

The crimson-eyed man speaks darkly with a business-like tone that is straight to the point, no-nonsense, "My task is complete."

Jing Yuan merely passes him a smile. "Mm, that it is."

Though, it doesn't last very long as he turns his gaze towards the woman, saying, "Thank you for assisting the Xianzhou in this small matter. Take this person away - I will pretend I didn't see anything this time."

The blond-haired boy at Jing Yuan's side protests, "General?! I..."

Whatever he says next is cut off as Jing Yuan's voice raises, sharp. Commanding. "Now is not the time."

This stops any further protest, and the two—the crimson eyed man and the crimson-haired woman—walk away. Jing Yuan then looks at Dan Heng, stating, "It has been a long time...old friend."

Only for the man to say, "I'm not him."

At that, Jing Yuan can only smile painfully, and reply, "Mm...I'm sorry."

Dan Heng moves to leave, only for Jing Yuan to say, "You cannot leave yet—your Astral Express friends are waiting for you in Scalegorge Waterscape. Shall we go and see them together?"

Though he phrases this similar in the way one would a request, it is clear that Jing Yuan means it is more a command than that. Such as it is, soldiers come converge into the general area as Jing Yuan sends the young blond off.

Jing Yuan takes a boat with Dan Heng, and the small contingent of soldiers to another beach-like area. As soon as they step onto the sands, the General speaks once again. "Lunarescent Depths—a realm of singular beauty. Scalegorge Waterscape is the same as when I last laid eyes on it...and here we stand so different from one another. The flesh of long-life species may be immortal, but the constant of heaven and earth eludes them."

Dan Heng seems less then impressed with Jing Yuan's words, striding forward, past the man. "You know the Vidyadhara hatching rebirth cycle, General. The waters of the ancient sea have cleansed Dan Feng of his past sin. The person that once stood here alongside you is no more."

"I am Dan Heng. Whether Dan Feng was hero or villain has nothing to do with me. I bore his punishment, accepted my eternal banishment without complaint...but do not let his shadow cloud your estimation of me, general."

Jing Yuan merely sighs, "Raising old nets only darkens the water—an exercise in unhappiness. Perhaps it is your visage, the horns on your head, or the unmistakable air of the high elder that makes the separation nigh impossible for me."

This gets Dan Heng to narrow his eyes and immediately start, "...I told you—"

Jing Yuan simply interrupts, tilting his head with a half-smile, "You did...but to what effect? If words alone were enough to change the heart, this world would be without quarrel. If you wish to rid me of the illusion of Dan Feng, you must do something for me."

They exchange more words, Dan Heng protesting a little, until Jing Yuan says, "It is as I said: here we stand so different from one another. Dan Feng is no more—now there is only Dan Heng. But I..."

There is a pause as he closes his eyes, before he reopens them again, his gaze and tone imperious as he continues speaking, brooking no argument, "I am the General of the Luofu. There are things that I wish I did not have to do, and yet I must."

With that, they stride forward, Jing Yuan compelling Dan Heng to move forward for another reason as well—to see his friends.

Though, they stop momentarily in front of the debris of some creature seemingly made one with the sand. If only but a moment, which makes the General give one final comment from the memory, arms folded:

"I have been keeping careful watch against the Abominations of Abundance, the Stellaron Hunters, and the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus...but I never anticipated the Antimatter Legion.

The Hunt is far from over, yet all the while we find ourselves at war with other evil spirits...Hmph, from this battle onward, the Alliance must fight the Legion to our dying breath, even if means the end of the Luofu."

The Beginning of the End

2024-05-20T19:08:09Z

It's a bright afternoon in the Xianzhou Alliance. Summerset colors extend across the sky, painting something profound and nostalgic. Laughter abounds across three individuals amongst five.

But, the mood is light, and cheer is abundant. Why else would they all raise their cups high above their own heads. Why else would they look at each other with fondness in their eyes?

Perhaps it isn't so surprising that they all shout, "Cheers!"

A Foxian woman's voice then echoes in the distant land of memories long past, Jing Yuan her witness but only one of them as she asks, "Hey, why the frown Yingxing? You too, Imbibitor Lunae. Let's see a smile!"

Yingxing says nothing, with a look of evident contrite, and so does a man with long black hair, standing with arms folded. Cold, yet distant in his own way.

Jing Yuan laughs himself at his companion's words; always the brightest star amongst them. But he never finds anything wrong with words having been spoken as they are. Not now, not ever. Still, always ready to be gentle and easy with companions, he says, "Let them off the hook, Baiheng."

Or does he? His lips curl upwards into a mischievous smile of his own as his eyes land on his Master. Or rather, his previous one, for that matter; though this memory be viewed from the view in which all expressions of those can be seen, the feelings and passing thoughts felt by Jing Yuan in particular are clear. Even as he says looking in the direction of a certain woman with bright red eyes, "...They're still sore from losing to Jingliu."

Jingliu, the woman he had glanced at, seems to have held something like a stoic expression for the most part, before she actually gives a short huff of a laugh, but asks, "Want a rematch? I'm always available."

Their laughs echo as the sun sets, much to two men's slight annoyance. But all is well.

All is well.

...Still, it is not something meant to last.

The memory seems to shift towards different surroundings; a battlefield where many lay prone, some wretched monsters that seem far too twisted beyond one's imagination, and some startingly human or a variety of other species. Vidyadhara, Foxian, Humans, Abominations, and the like.

High above ships soar in the sky, though there are others which have crashed onto the ground, or elsewhere. Jing Yuan stands nearby the wreckage of one.

So do a couple of familiar faces. A soldier shouts into the air, announcing the defeat of Shuhu, who attempted to orchestrate The Shuhu Upheaval to tear the Alliance into pieces, only to be halted by the self-sacrificial actions of Baiheng.

No more would the High Cloud Quintet would be. Indeed, as the memory fades, it becomes clear that the chapter of this story has ended; with victory, but ultimately, a bittersweet ending.
