Story
Its been so long since I’ve been back here. I joined the xuania fandom and wrote a chapter for a non existent story. Now I want to draw some pics.
Okay. Continuation of Dong Hua and Bai Feng Jiu Eternal Love Drama story. This was supposed to be something that could transition from the drama to the novel without much trouble.
Bai Feng Jiu held back the tears as she formerly responded to Donghua's message upon her coronation. The time for games was over, she had to become queen and with that new position, many new responsibilities would come her way. She remembered that when Si Ming had answered her request regarding a message from Donghua, he had mentioned that the secrets would be inside the map. Her curiosity was peaked and for many hours she waited awaited, until finally the crowds had filtered out of her home.
“Thank goodness!” she cried when all was quiet , “Who knew that a coronation could be so exhausting?” With that the young queen retired to her bedroom, trying not to notice the fancy gift that was carefully situated beside her bed. Doing her best to ignore the map, Feng Jiu crawled into her covers and did all she could to get comfortable. Her attempts were in vain as she tossed and turned, but to no avail.
With the mysterious map staring at her from the side of her bed, Bai Feng finally gave up. Her curiosity had peaked, and Bai Feng couldn't help but open sacred treasure. “Oh my.” she gasped as she slowly revealed the picture. The map was absolutely beautiful. From the eloquent calligraphy to the perfectly inked and detailed map of the ages. The world had indeed changed, not a thing remained, but why in the realm would Dong Hua give her such a valuable item?
Peering over the map with laser eyed focus, Feng Jiu grappled to see if there was any message that he could be trying to give her, but could find none. Scanning the map with her essence, Feng Jiu sighed in defeat. She had no idea what Donghua's message was, or even if there was a message. Grumbling away, Feng Jiu began to return the map to it's place. It was then that a small piece seemed to resonate with her touch.
“What's this ?” she thought quietly, and quickly focused her energy on the strange oddity. An unusual fog began to settle in when a chime rang loud and clear from the Wu Wang sea. Startled out of the fogginess overtaking her, Feng Jiu slammed her hand on a sharp rock that seemed to appear from nowhere.
“Ouch!” she hissed, her eyes wide with horror as the object disappeared and two drops of blood fell upon the priceless treasure. “No!” she cried, her body suddenly feeling weak.
“Feng Jiu!”
“Feng Jiu!”
“Your Majesty!” Came the faded cries, but it was no use.
Feng Giu woke with a start as her body seemed to burn like flame and her whole body seemed to be encased in an inky blackness. “Where am I?” she asked quietly, “Is this a dream?”
“Little flower, little flower,” called a frightful voice, loud as the thunder, and deep as the sea, “ Why have you hidden from me?”
“Hidden from you,” she asked , “What do you mean? Who are you? ”
“I am you, and you are me,” said the strong voice, “A Shadow of what once was and still can be.”
Hazily an image appeared in the inky blackness, a tall man, swift and strong with eyes as stormy as the ocean and hair as bright as the moon. “Is that...” she whispered, as the hazy image soon became clear ans sharp.
“Donghua.” Feng Jiu whispered quietly, her face pale as the figure slashed through hundreds and thousands of bodies. Never had she seen such a deadly look in his face. Soon a striking man with sharp eyebrows and long black hair revealed itself. “Yehua?” she whispered, then taking a look once again, “No... “ she whispered, “ Mo Yuan?”
“Yes,” the voice called, “This is an image from long ago, when the demon uprising nearly destroyed the world twice over. The battle was long and harsh and millions of souls died, god and man a like, even more so then battle of Roshui from so many years ago. Times were harsh than and the needed light had not yet appeared. Three great sacrifices were needed to stop the war filled with death to no end.”
“Three sacrifices...” trailed the young princess, Feng Jiu did not understand at first, but as she reflected on the most recent goings in her present life. “Are you saying...”
After a long pause, the voice rang out loud an clear once again.
“Yes,' whispered the haunting voice, “Of these three, there are two that you know quite well. The Donghai bell, a powerful artifact that required a powerful spirit to seal or quell the spirit of the vilest soul, the phoenix heart to scatter the darkness and start the world anew, and loss of love to tame the passionate fury of the strongest soul.” a pause, “Tell me little flower...do you know what this means?
“No...no.” stuttered the young queen, though a dawning of understanding seemed to appear behind her eyes.
“The Donghai bell has been destroyed, the strongest soul has weakened, the light has appeared, and the calamity that threatens the world has begun to move...” after a long pause, “ Your role, little flower, has come into play.”
“No. No, ” Cried the young princess, “ My role? What do you mean?”
“The phoenix blade is calling for it's master, and you little flower, must light it's way.”
With that the darkness seemed to fade, and Feng Jiu cried out as her essence seemed to melt away, and every inch of her body turn to Ash. Never in her 30,000 something years of life had she ever experienced such pain, not when the pagoda beast slashed her, the lightning struck her, or she took the full brunt of the Demon Lord's power to protect Donghua.
Feng Jiu bit her lip as a shining tear fell from her eye. The unbearable heat had been calmed and thousands of images filled her mind. Images of what once was and what can be came into play. Her purpose had been found, and her dear Donghua had guided the way. Feng Jiu just smiled, as her burning body began to cool and a bright red gem appeared on her forehead. “Donghua...” she whispered, “I understand.”
“Huh!” gasped the young queen. She was back and her body felt much stronger than before. Grabbing the mirror to her side, Feng Jiu looked at her appearance to see the half closed flower mark on her forehead had appeared to bloom.
“Majesty!” cried the beloved Migu as he attempted to embrace her.
“No!” cried the princess, putting her hand out , a fiery flame engulfing her palm.
“Princess!” he exclaimed in surprise, “What happened?”
“I-”
“She's ascended,” came the familiar voice of Si Ming. “Congratulations once again, high immortal Bai Feng Jiu.” he said, bowing slightly.
“Si Ming, what are your doing here?”
“His majesty Dong hua, requests your presence,” he said calmly.
Widening her eyes, Feng Jiu willed her heart to stop it's wretched hopeful pounding. Donghua and her no longer had anything to do with each other, so why was he requesting her presence? She hadn't talked to the ancient deity once since Yehua had been taken from their home three years ago, though she had indeed been tempted. With all he had told her on their last acquaintance, Why would he be summoning her now?
I don't understand, she thought silently, but her words came out, “I understand, please tell his majesty I will meet with him shortly.”
“His majesty Donghua Dijun requests your presence immediately.” emphasized the lord of dipper.
“ But father...”
Silently the familiar blue cloaked figure slipped out behind the silver clad figure. Clearing his throat, he gave her an almost proud look. “The manner has been addressed, ” quietly the man put his hands behind his back and gave a slight bow. “Though your power is strong, your discipline is lacking, do not keep the Dijun waiting any longer.” Though he did not say it, Feng Jiu could tell her father was not pleased with development, most likely do to her shameless actions, but no one was to stand against the formidable Dong Hua.
“Of course.”
“Little highness,” bowed Si Ming, and Feng Jiu nodded before following him to the aforementioned place of meeting. Swallowing slightly, Feng Jiu tightened her fists as the entered the deity's chamber. She had been here hundreds of times for thousands of years, but for after her ascension to high immortal, she had learned so much more about him. Suddenly being in his chambers seemed a thousand times more intimidating.
Presenting himself to the ancient deity, Si Ming bowed and announced his formal greeting,“ Lord of Dipper has arrived with Her highness, high immortal Bai Feng Jiu as per your request.”
“Thank You,” spoke the high deity, “ you may be excused.”
“Your majesty.” he responded and disappeared into a puff of smoke.
“No. Dont leave me!” squeaked out the young queen, her heart pounding as the object of that had earned her respect, awe, affection and recently her fear transported within a few centimeters and pulled her close to him.
“Don't leave me?” he quirked his eyebrow, ignoring the little prick of annoyance that cropped up in his stone heart. “Since when have you wanted his presence so much?” he teased before letting her go and stepping a way, arms folded behind his back.
“W...what?” she sputtered, “Thats not it...I just did..” want to be alone with you right now. She thought silently, not after-
Stopping less than a meter away from his little fox, Donghua . “Since when have you been afraid to be alone with me, little fox?”
“What?” oh dang it, she cried silently, I forgot! “Well I mean...”
“I seem to remember a little fox here not too long ago who dispersed just before my waking, snuck into my quarters with drinks, snacks, and lets not forget those lovely outfits...had I been a normal man, it may have been too much to bear.”
“Eep.” Feng Jiu squeaked out, body stumbling backwards as the man stretched out his arm and wrapped it around her , a knowing smirk on his face. “You mean ...You knew.”
The stone hard God nodded his head, “Of course I did.” he stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. “After spending all that time at my palace, do you think I'd be fooled by your tricks?”
“N..No. I mean ” she breathed, face as red as a tomato. “I know I shouldn't have but.”
Remembering how her aunt used to break into the back way of heaven Feng Jiu decided to disguise herself as one of the deities and did the same. She didn't see much harm in it as she quietly watched over her Lord Emperor, brewing his favorite tea , dressing in his favorite outfit, or making his favorite snacks. As long as she left no trace, it would be fine.
“Now now,” he said almost kindly, “Did I say anything against it?” Though he should have dissuaded her from returning, her presence was like a drug, and whether or not he could be with her, he would drink it in like the addict he was.
“No.”
“So pray tell” he stroking something attached to his belt, “Why are you so frightened now?”
Based on the set up in the end, I strongly believe the new producers could do it. However, Dong Hua would need to continue that change from after he saw the rock of three incantations, Bai Feng Jiu would have to train and Ji Heng ( Bai Feng Jiu’s rival) would have to be introduced differently.
