This chapter is quite short but the next few will hopefully be longer. Disclaimer: this is just to say that the characters do not belong to me, and that this does not contain any original characters. Koei and Omega - Force make the game. Yay to them.
It had been a year since the fateful day when Wu had Annihilated Wei in the fire attack at Hei Fei castle. The horrible tale had been told and retold. They had come during the night, let into the castle by a traitor, working inside the castle walls. They then set fire to everything that was flammable. They then beat all the officers who woke up and tried to raise the alarm. The few officers who escaped fled into the forest until the Wu army left. On entering the castle everything was black, burned or charred, and in the window of Cao Cao's chamber, hung the tyrant's body. All of the Cao family had been killed. Wei was through. The officers disbanded, each swearing an oath to obliterate Wu before they died.

The banquet was being held in the huge hall in the Shu capital, and it was in honour of Zhuge Liang's success in finding all the surviving Wei officers and convincing them to join Shu in its cause to wipe out Wu. When the Wei officers arrived they were greeted warmly by their one-time comrade, Jiang Wei, who had defected to Shu one and a half years previously. Before the banquet, a silent figure walked down the dark halls and slipped through the door to a magnificent room, that could only belong to a high-ranking officer. Without turning round, the occupant of the room said in a slightly annoyed tone
"What do you want?"
"I came to talk to you, Jiang Wei," replied the silent figure.
"I told you before Zhang He, I don't want anything to do with you, the only thing that stops me from embedding my spear deep into your chest is the fact that I swore to lords Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei that I would not quarrel with any officer on our side, but that doesn't mean I have to put up with you harassing me morning, noon and night. I don't love you any more and that's the truth, now deal with it. Just go away." "You cast aside beauty with a click of your fingers? You couldn't resist me when we were in Wei. How could your heart have turned away from me so?" asked Zhang He, unable to hide the hurt in his voice.
"Things change, Zhang, what I felt in Wei was just pure lust, not love, and I see that now. I don't love you, so please leave me alone." Said Jiang Wei exhaustedly.
"I will bother you no more, but please tell me, who has captured your heart?" Asked Zhang He, tears starting to form in the corners of his eyes.
"The one I love will never be mine, he is unlike us. He is perfect in every way. He is Zhao Yun." Said Jiang Wei sorrowfully.
"What," uttered Zhang He, unable to control himself, "you would cast me aside for HIM? I hope you suffer knowing he can never be yours, and each time you think of him, think of what you could've had with me!" then Zhang He threw himself from the room, tears streaming down his face. Un known to the two arguing, one person heard every word that was uttered, that one person was hiding around the corner, out of sight. That person was Zhao Yun.
"Your wrong, Jiang Wei," he whispered under his breath. "You're very wrong, I can be yours, and I will be yours."
