A/N:Theme number five - Scars.
Uuuugh how real life gets in the way x_x I didn't have any time to write until today, and this one is freaking short. Like, Edward Elric short. Dx I wrote it in like, six minutes.
I didn't really proofread it all too much and I'm sure it sucks really really bad so I'm sorry. I'll make the next one better.
There were two types of scars.
The first kind was nothing. They were the ones that covered her body on the outside, and the ones that Lan Fan had gotten used to. She could put a layer of ointment and bandage it, and all would be fine. To her, they were nothing.
The second kind was different. They were the scars that nobody could see, the ones that she had to bear on her own. No matter how much she tried to bandage them over, they wouldn't heal. They were ones that would not, in time, be covered over with skin and later vanish. They would stay with her for a long time.
There weren't that many of the second type of scars on Lan Fan. But they felt much more painful than the ones that came from sparring with her grandfather. She couldn't put a bandage over it and watch it heal within a few weeks. They stayed with her, and haunted her. And no one knew about those scars except Lan Fan herself, and the only one who could heal them was her.
But somehow he was able to find them all, and somehow all of the scars mysteriously vanished once he discovered them. And as time went on, Lan Fan realized that she alone had not been able to heal those wounds.
But with him, they were able to heal over. When he was by her side, when his power was lent to her, she could ignore the pain and move on. When Ling stayed with her, Lan Fan was free from all of the scars in her life.
