Zhen and Liu Chan are the only parts I own.
Zhen woke-up two days later and she looked around for Lu Xun. She found him sleeping on the far side of the tent. He looked peaceful and at rest. His hands were in cloth and were lying in his lap. He hair, which was normally down and very messy, was now very neat and back in a pony tail. It looked like he was just trying to pull it out of the way. The feathers that were usually in his hair were lying on the ground next to him.
Zhen sat up and walked out of the tent. She felt her head with her hand was she walked and there was a bandage around it. She walked to a hill and laid down on top of it. Zhen Pi looked into the sky that, which was dark and cloud covered, hoping to see what the future might hold.
Zhen heard some one approach but didn't look up to see who it was. The person laid down next to her and looked up to the sky too. The two laid there for about ten minutes before either spoke.
"You are such a lovely girl. I've had a chance to know Lu Xun and he has said lots about you. He really cares for you even though he knows very little about you," the girl explained.
"Who are you? Why are you, of Shu here?"
"Liu Chan, I'm the daughter of Zhao Yun. I'm here to meet Sun Shang Xiang but I came to meet you. Liu Bei told me about you so I had to come meet the famous Zhen Pi. You are a legend and I want to be."
"You wan to be a legend? You're the daughter of Zhao Yun, you are a legend. Why is your name Liu Chan?"
"My real name is Lu Chan but now I am of Shu and called Liu Chan. I don't really like to talk about it."
"That's alright. I don't talk about my past either."
"With your real parents?"
"Yes, I don't like my family."
"Zhen!" Lu yelled.
"That's my call. It was nice meeting you, Liu Chan."
"You too." Zhen ran from Liu Chan to Lu who just left the tent. Once he saw her his face became happier. He opened his arms and Zhen ran into them.
"You worried me. Don't do that to me again. I love you."
"I was with Liu Chan the whole time. I was fine."
"I didn't know that though."
"I know, can I go talk to my mom?"
"Of course, I'll be cleaning myself up."
"Ok! Thank you." Lu kissed her forehead and let her go. She turned back to look at him but he had gone back into the tent. Zhen then walked to her mother's tent.
"Mother?"
"I'm here my child. Is Lu Xun with you?"
"No."
"Then come in." Zhen walked in and sat in one of the spots that didn't have some kind of Nanman artifact.
"What do you need my daughter?"
"I have fallen for Lu Xun."
"That's good. You remember me telling you about him?"
"Yeah, I know. You told me that I would like him."
"He is a good man; he will make a great husband for my only daughter."
"Husband? I can't marry right now. That's the thing I came to talk to you about, don't want to settle down. I can't stay in one place to long or I kind of loose it. Being here still is driving me mad."
"Honey, you love Lu Xun right?"
"Yes."
"Then marry him. Sun Shang Xiang doesn't stay with Liu Bei all of the time. I didn't stay with your father all the time either. I just was happy to come home, to the man I loved."
"I can't marry. I just can't do it."
"Honey, if you don't want to marry the man you love then don't."
"Thanks mother."
. . .
After Zhen left to talk to her mom, Lu Xun went to talk to Sun Quan. Lu let down his hair and put the feathers back in. The cloth from his hand was on the ground where he had slept.
"Sun Quan, I want to marry Zhen Pi soon if she'll agree to it. I love her so much and I don't want to loose her."
"I wouldn't either. You're the Prime Minister; I take orders from you young man."
"What should I do?"
"Tell the girl how you feel."
"I will, thank you my friend."
. . .
Lu Xun walked toward the tent Zhen was in. Before he walked in to the tent, he heard what they were saying.
"I can't marry. I just can't do it," Zhen said.
"What?" Lu Xun asked himself.
"Honey, if you don't want to marry the guy you love, then don't."
"Thanks mother."
Zhen walked out of the tent and saw Lu Xun walking away. She tried to catch him but he must have heard her. He kept speeding up and wouldn't let her catch him.
"Lu?" He just kept walking until he entered Sun Quan's tent.
Zhen walked sadly back to her mom's tent.
"Mom, he heard me. He hates," Zhen cried.
"He can't hate you. He just frustrated that you won't marry him. Maybe try to talk to him."
"He won't let me. I told you, he hates me."
"Miss Pi?" a male voice asked.
"Yes, in here."
"Master Cao Pi is here asking for you."
"No, no!"
"Yes." Zhen walked out with Zhu Rong. Standing at Sun Quan's tent was Cao Pi and tons of his men. Next to Cao Pi was a smiling, Sima Yi. Lu Xun ran from the tent, behind Wei, to stand by Zhen and Zhu.
"I see, Lu Xun does have a protective spirit of my daughter. I wonder why?"
"I think they are in love, my lord," Sima Yi explained.
"Well, we can't be having that. Zhen comes with us or this camp will be burned to the ground."
"No!" Lu Xun yelled.
"Yes, I will go. I don't' wan to see Wu burned."
"Zhen please, don't!" Lu pleaded.
"Le melon," Zhen said to him as she was dragged away by Zhang He and Xu Huang.
. . .
Lu watched as Zhen was taking away. His whole body ached really badly but he knew she must do what she was doing.
"What did she say?" Lu asked once he couldn't see her anymore.
"I love you in ancient Elvish."
"Elvish?"
"It's a language past down by the females in my family. Being she was the closest thing I had to a daughter, I taught her."
"Ok but she doesn't love me."
"She must, she wouldn't have said it if she didn't mean it."
"How could she love me if she didn't want to marry me?"
"You don't know very much about her. She was raised in He Fei, beautiful as it maybe; it is a terrible place to live. Royalty meant she saw the horrific things that took place there."
"What do you mean by horrific?"
"Cao Cao never cared for the people of Wei. Slavery and everything that came with it took place. Women weren't really treated well and neither was Zhen. She was treated a little better being she was the only daughter of Zhen Ji and Cao Pi. I guess Cao Cao favored her but she never really liked him. She told me once that she cursed him before she ran away."
"That's my Zhen!"
"She loves you, it's just she doesn't want to be a house wife. She is pretty sure that's what you'll do to her."
"No, I wouldn't. If she wants to go out to fight I'll let her. She can do what she wants. I will find and save her!"
