Thick black smoke rolls over the shore
Engulfed in flames, her soul wants more
Magnetic field ignites her heart
Destruction births her brand new start
Hungry eyes endure the burning
Ashes spread by endless yearning
She'll rise above and spread her wings
The Phoenix soars, her life begins
-Amanda Ray: /Mandamonium/
Lunar...
Who's calling me...
Lunar, please wake up...
Wake up...but didn't I die...
...LingLuo...
Who...who are you talking to...
Yun LingLuo, wake up...
Who...who is 'Yun LingLuo'...
You are...you are now 'Yun LingLuo', master...
...Blue...is that you...
...yes... it's me, master Lunar...you have been given a second chance to live...
...wait...what!
She heard the cry of a rooster signaling the arrival of morning. She struggled to open her eyes and used her hands to wipe away the sleepiness. She felt the soft feel of the fabric and the hardness of the wooden daybed that she was lying on. Her limbs still felt numb and her abdomen stung so she could only move her head to see where she was.
The stone walls and the pile of farming tools laying in a corner of the house gave her enough hints about her whereabouts. It was a farmhouse. Her swords were laid on the table nearby her and her suitcase was propped by her daybed.
She heard movement in the hallway, so she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. Footsteps entered the area where she was and came closer to her until they reached her bedside. Two hands clung to her shoulders and began to shake her.
"Hey, hey. Are you awake?"
Shake...shake...
"Cangse, I don't think you should do that."
The hands that shook her left her shoulders and was later replaced with a small hand that began to poke her face.
"Mama, mama, she's really pretty."
"Ah, really? A-Ying, who's prettier, me or this big sister?"
"Mmm...this big sister! I think if she smiles, she will be even prettier!"
"Ahh! Changze, our son betrayed me! A-Ying!"
The child laughed at his mother's dilemma over his betrayal.
"Don't laugh at mama and her loss!"
A deep laugh joined the child's laughter.
"Ehh! Changze, why are you laughing with him?!"
She felt the corners of her mouth curling into a faint smile.
"Ah, see mama! I am right! She looks prettier when she smiles!"
Ah...I got caught...
Author's Notes:
*When the Love Nikki characters are in Miraland, I will use the English Server names
*When the Love Nikki characters are in Ancient China, I will use the Chinese Server names
*"Lunar" = "LingLuo"
*Yun LingLuo is written "云 绫罗" which means "Cloud Silk Gauze", Lunar had no last name so I gave her one. This was before I know what LingLuo meant.
*For those who don't know anything about Love Nikki, it's a dress up games with a lot of plot twists and diamond wasting. The blood curse is a curse to forbid anyone in Miraland, which is where the game takes place, to physically harm others and the aggressor will face tremendous painful backlash upon hurting someone violently and physically. In order to resolve differences, dress up battles are used, that each battle has different styling prompts so a lot of clothes with different attributes are collected. The suitcase where the clothes are stored acts like a qiankan bag.
