"Xiao Qiao, even though we're so far apart, I can feel your sweet presence.... right next to me... beside me..." Zhou Yu whispered with his chest-nut eyes closed.
Sun Ce slowly approached him, "Zhou Gongjin, we'll get her back, we just need to rest. Tomorrow we're going to cross the Sweet Dew Valley, and there we should find Wei's capital."
Zhou Yu opened his eyes, "I hope so..." The midnight darkness enveloped them as they stood beside the tents they had pitched. Zhou Yu raised his face to gaze at the moon's brilliance as he recalculated how Xiao Qiao, his dear wife, was kidnapped by Cao Cao and his forces of Wei. He recalled how Sun Ce had traveled with him to this point to find her, how tomorrow they should reach her position...
"Sun Ce?" Zhou Yu addressed his sworn brother.
"Yeah, Gongjin?" Sun Ce looked over at Zhou Yu.
"Thank you... for coming all this way to help me..." he whispered.
Sun Ce smiled, "Hey, what are sworn bros for? I mean, when we took the oath of brotherhood, I just had this gut-feeling that you'd somehow get caught up in some devastating position and need me to help out." He stood straight and tall after his speech, looking proud of himself.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "Sure."
"Nah, really, man. But anyway, let's crawl into our tents and sleep so we can get Xiao Qiao and go back home." Sun Ce yawned.
Zhou Yu just nodded and crawled in his while Sun Ce went into the other one.
"Night, Zhou." Zhou Yu heard coming from the latter tent.
"You too, Ce." Zhou Yu said as he unfolded the quilts they took with them.
Then, while looking around to see if Ce was spying, he slipped a jade pendant from a small silk bag. He held it up to the candle beside his straw mat and analyzed its features for the millionth time.
He had given it to Xiao Qiao, who wore it all the time, it just happened that the golden latch on the slender chain broke at the moment she was seized. It was a green jade, carved into a delicate heart.
He remembered when he gave it to her, how she hopped up and down for joy with small squeals escaping her pink lips. How she immediately put it on and smiled such a happy smile, a satisfied smile... a true smile. He remembered her youthful vigor...
He pulled the pendant to his chest and shut his eyes tightly, though tears still flew freely.
"Xiao Qiao..."
