Large bolts of thunder struck the heavens as blood spilled on it's ground. The worriors clad in white enchanting robs battled against those in dark clothing, each wounding the other but most that declined were the heavenly worriors.
They held against their own, their efforts proving futile to the well prepared clan of Mo Jin.
In the sky Pavilion was a female holding the body of her beloved in deep sorrow. Her sister Xia Xingxin laid in her arms with a deep wound that had no way of healing.
How was this so? How could Jin FengLi betray her like this?
The girl looked around knowing in her heart that this was not a winning battle for the heavens. Jin FengLi had actually tricked her and had managed to steal the heavenly seal and now her home was doomed. She watched as more armed men fell to the ground.
"Sister. It's okay, you don't have to worry about me anymore -" Xia Xingxin stuttered as she mumbled her words, red blood gushed from her mouth as she spoke.
"No meimei, I'm sorry I let all this happen. It's my fault," holding her twin sister the female wailed.
"Don't blame yourself sister. You have to defeit the demon king. protect the heavens and we will meet in the afterlife."
Watching her younger twin writh in pain brought her more pain than she already felt. All because of her, XiaXingxin was lying in her own pull of blood. She sobbed holding onto her little twin shaking her head in dispair.
"Jiejie, use our essence. Take my core, you'll be stronger."
"No Xing'er, don't leave!" She cried out refusing.
Noticing her sister's hesitancy, the pale girl using her last bit of energy took out her core the act made her spit a handful of blood . The small, luminescent orb hovered above the two it's life essence bright. Nonetheless, it's light felt dim due to the gloom atmosphere of the heavens.
"Sister, I hope to remain your sister in the next life," her voice little, she spoke breathing one final breath before shutting her eyes.
Xia Xingxin's dying face stuck to her mind as she walked down the Bridge of fate following the queue that lined up for reincarnation. The girl didn't want to be reborn, she was tired of all the lies. Everyone lied to her except her little sister, did she know of this? That's why they killed her?
A stiffled cry escaped from her lips . She wiped her tears looking up ahead. Maybe she deserved a new start away from treacherous demons and backstabbing heavenly immortals. In her next life, hopefully if she can, she will stay away from cultivation or anything to do with it.
Nonetheless, she would still come for her revenge.
Stepping on the front of the queue, the female worrior stared at the bowl made of one of the finest metals in heaven realm. In it was a colourless liquid that was going to easily erase all her memories as soon as she consumed it.
Once she was a worrior general, a god feared by all of the realms, a force to not be triffled with. She used to hold her head high and trusted the people around her only for one of them to end up scheming against her. Her current self was blind and eventually the ones who loved her died, she also died.
It was a bitter truth. Unknowingly, she ended up killing someone she had thought was her enemy only to find that the true enemy was one close to her. The whole heavens had plotted against her, wrongly punishing her and later on loosing her life in the hands of her accusers.
Perhaps it was best to get rid of all the memories.
The former god took the bowl from the being holding it and drunk it. It had no taste. Maybe like it her life had no reason whatsoever. And, just as the others, she stepped into the portal gate awaiting for her fate.
On a night in the king's palace of Quanyue, midwives surrounded the queens bed one of them urging the queen to keep on pushing. It had been almost two hours of labor, and now, the woman lying on the bed was worn out. Sweat covered her skin as she took in sharp breaths trying to ease the pain.
Yun weiwei screamed in pain holding onto the sheets that were covered in salty droplets of sweat and blood.
"Come on your majesty, we can see the head," one servant cheered encouragingly until successfully the newborn was held by the lead midwife .
"It's a girl my queen."
A smile crossed her features listening to the midwife Bai Zhongrue. She watched as the midwife rinsed and wrapped the baby in a cloth. But then, why was her belly still in pain?
A cry left her lips as she clutched on the sheets again. Seeing this, Bai Zhongrue carried the baby to the nearest cradle and laid her down. She rushed to check on their queen taking in her pulse. How could this be? Another child was in her womb?
"Madame, it seems that we still have another baby," she said to the queen. However looking at the queens state, Bai Zhongrue knew the child's birth wouldn't be easy. Her pulse were already too weak and she had losed a lot of blood.
"Another chil-" she groaned from pain.
"You have to push!"
Outside the door, the king paced around anxiously for awhile each second he would stare at the door. The night was calm and clear, stars shone on the vast dark skies and the only sound he could hear were his wife's agonizing scream.
This made him on edge. The birth of this child would bring great fortune to the kingdom. According to the royal practitioner this child would be a blessing for the kingdoms, just as their first child was. It seemed everything was in their favor even the North star had made itself known, it shone bright next to the big bright moon.
A girl. They had both heard the midwife's announcement. He was going to have a daughter. The kingdom would get their princess. How wonderful!
"Your lordship, today is truly a day of great fortune for our kingdom," his trusted man spoke joyously.
The king smiled at the compliment looking forward to meet his newborn child. A blessing by the heavens to the human realm. He stared at the door then at the sky silently giving a prayer to the heavens for favor and for his children.
Jiang Chen walked over to the door as Bai Zhongrue's next words startled him. What did she mean another child? Hadn't the doctor said that her wife was just expecting one child? She never said anything about twins!!
Hearing his wife's sudden cry of distress, anxiousness rose in him making him push the door and running to his wife's side.
The servants inside acknowledging Jiang Chen's presence bowed. However, his eyes were only set on the pale women's face. She was worn out from her expression, her features though pale her eyes were vibrant. Sadness overwhelmed him at his wife's current state. More than less he was to blame.
He reached for his wife's hand.
Yun weiwei whose eyes were set on her second daughter finally drew towards the man by her side. His hands were on hers his eyes holding a mix of emotions in them. She formed a small curl on her lips pressing firmly on his hand.
A communication that even words could not compare to. Yun Weiwei glanced back at the midwife holding the baby ushering her to give the child to her.
Bai Zhongrue did as instructed, sorrow in her eyes as she stared at the queen.
Holding the baby in her arms. She felt at ease. This was truly a blessing. With her bit of energy she spoke, "My precious daughters."
Jiang Cheng took his wife by the hand as he listened to his wife.
"What should we call them?"
"Jiang Xiaye," a week smile appeared on the new mother's lips as she gazed at her eldest daughter's young chubby face, she then turned to the one in her arms adding, "and Jiang Feiye."
A name like the moon and the sun. Jiang Cheng smiled staring at the baby he held. This was truly joyous. His thoughts were cut with the heavy coughs that escaped his wife.
Red blood trickled from her mouth with each cough. The midwife ran to her aid and took the baby from the queen's embrace and gave her to another midwife.
