Confessions
He had treaded beneath water. He had been bathed in the crystalline crimson light. He had stood before the corpse with eyes anew. He had seen the impossible – the past, the life, the love, the secrets.
He had seen the lie.
He stopped. In the trees the bird stopped too. He narrowed his eyes. The village was bathed in moonlight. In the distance, very faint, was the silhouette of the place he had called home. He knew that she was there. She was sleeping, thinking that her lie was safe.
He growled with unbidden abhorrence. His eyes sparked like crashing flints. The loathing devoured him at once. He spun, eyes glaring deep into the high branches of the tree.
His voice was low and snarling. "Go away. You knew too,"
The bird failed to falter beneath his glare.
He turned, quick, unregretful and thundered into the realm of tree shadows. Not a backward glance was made.
Author's Note: This was completed the same day as the penultimate chapter of Absolution was completed and the final chapter was begun. I quite like this piece. I have a most amazing idea and I just know that you will very likely love it too. I should say that Gǔjiàn was created by Shanghai Aurogon. Shanghai Aurogon was once a division of another gaming company and the team worked on one of the Xian Jiàn (Chinese Paladin) games. I simply love this game. Again, I haven't played it. There have been rumours flying about of a television series but I sincerely hope that, if it is true, then it isn't by Tangren. Also, this, I feel, is very appropriate at this moment. Gǔjiàn is very much the mirror image to Xian Jiàn.
I hope that you enjoy this series.
