Authors Note: Hello Everyone! I know it has been quite a while since I've posted anything and for those of you who were keeping up with Smile I apologize. I completely lost my way with that story and really couldn't find it in me to finish it. But we forget all that for now and on to happier things. I started this story for Nanowrimo this year and feel like it would help me finish if I post it. Not sure how active this fandom is but I still love this franchise. And with the new series out I had a spark of inspiration. I have this one mostly planned out for nano so it should go better than my previous attempts...
I own nothing except the OCs. Also, as a side note this was done in a rush for nano so I didn't have a lot of time for research. I am going completely off of the very little knowledge of China I have from school and I have made up many details and altered geography to suit the story. Please bear with me and ignore the historical inaccuracy where it occurs.
Prologue
It was such a calming place, it was almost enough to make him sick. If his current form could even feel sick. He wasn't entirely sure. Drifting along like this the passage of time seemed insignificant but he knew deep down that he had been here for some time and yet nothing seemed to change. The rocks, the mists, the twilight. It was always the same. A never ending scheme of deathly calm, uninterrupted and unhindered by the passage of time.
He had once been a great master able to channel immense power. And the rage he had felt, the anger enough to melt stone, had festered in his heart for those many long years he had been imprisoned. But he could barely summon it now. Could hardly even recall what it was that had sparked that hatred. Almost as if a large part of himself had been cleaved away and left with a nothingness in its wake. A place where once there had been darkness now only held emptiness.
And he drifted on and on.
A quick snippit. But the regular chapters will be a normal length. Reviews are always welcome, flames are not. If that's what they are even called these days? Just please be kind that all I ask.
