I don’t mind, Qianlin Lan Jue fixed his sad eyes upon her I don’t mind You were never Hera’s replacement I love Hera, but I also love you – Qianlin
He felt it all over again, the feeling of his heart breaking The Clairvoyant shut off the computer, closed the box, than handed it to Lan Jue like a cherished artifact He took it with tre chest His arht, like the box contained all of his past and present love
The Clairvoyant took Qianlin’s hand, and led her to Lan Jue She moved like a doll, with a vacant expression “I iht now, Qianlin is a blank slate – her truest self If you need to hate someone than hate edies Ishe had to a father… cherish her, protect her”
He looked older the longer they spoke, and tears rolled down the wrinkles appearing on his face It was strange to see the powerful Eye of Tomorrow reduced to the role of concerned father
He took her delicate hand It was cold, and while its contours were all fauided her into his ar, dark hair
“I won’t let you leave entle kiss against her lips Her body shook then, and like she had a thousand tiht and vanished
The Clairvoyant placed a hand on his shoulder “Let’s head back”
“Yeah” Lan Jue nodded
There were two flashes of light, and suddenly both of the and Hua Li were back to their senses, leaving Chu Cheng as the last one still engrossed in the pendant’s powers
When Lan Qing saw his downcast brother, his eyebrows scrunched together He looked at hily
Lan Jue only quietly shook his head Then, he returned to the spot he had been in before
The Phar she noticed was the change in Lan Jue’s , but she didn’t address it Instead she took up position before the Clairvoyant like all of the others
The Paragon looked at each of the I was supposed to Prometheus, Poseidon… I would trouble you to wait outside”
“Yes” The two of the, Lan Jue, the Pharmacist and Luo Xianni were the only ones apart from the Clairvoyant who remained behind
The old seer looked at the time he spoke up “In my life there have been failures and successes, it will be up to the annals of history to decide what I’m remembered for I’ve said what I needed to say When I aet everything that’s co from the videos, but his eyes fixed on the Clairvoyant when he spoke This was likely the last words he’d ever iaze upon the starry sky His face was flushed “I used to think I was destined to be the savior of hu, bend the ebb and flow of destiny to my whim I eventually discovered that Destiny is a path that has been chosen long before I sought to make my mark I never succeeded, but I suppose I never failed Now I am off to meet a new reality I don’t knoill happen, but who’s to say on’t ain one day, in soiven will protect you in a time of need But that doesn’t mean you are safe You must still seek the answer to your question All I can tell you is that it will beto Hera and her killer He resolutely nodded his head
A sht, it’s tio I have loved, I have hated, and I have tasted jealousy In the end it was rets people will remember, but they will leave an to twinkle Their soft and soothing light grew and fell upon the aging body of the Clairvoyant He rose off of his feet and hung suspended in air His face was ruddy and bright with life, like the abundance of youth was filling hiain, in the next life” As he rose through the air, the Paragon nodded his appreciation With each passing htened Suddenly, there cah the wholeoff fro their way itaround a boulder
“Be at peace, Xianni I saw the flows of tihtless in my last moment? If there is another world, Xianni, then I ait for you there I won’t give anyone else the opportunity to get close to you” The ball of resplendent light dimmed and vanished The Clairvoyant was nowhere to be found, as though he hi astral bodies surrounding them
“Clairvoyant!” Luo Xianni shouted his na heavens All of her pent up eone, and now in herman who had helped her so much
Brother! That hat she lost today Lan Jue stood in the same spot, too stunned to move Waves of powerful emotions assailed his heart He felt detached, like he was floating through the scene
The Pharrief, moved to his side and took his arain, the sadness in his eyes was gone – replaced with a determination that was hard to describe Each second saw that deteret strong! I’ave her a hug Then, with long, resolute strides, marched fro,’ or ‘the last light of a fading candle’ It doesn’t happen often, though my time in the terminal wards was brief If you re rely on one another Yin is the root of yang, and without it yang’s upward nature will make it disconnect and float away The sudden exuberance, the bright eyes, the ruddy cheeks and flush of energy are the last of a patient’s life All the rest of what keeps them alive is poured into a few hours so that they are full of life before passing on It’s cruel if you aren’t ready for it, but a blessing if you can see it for the gift that it is
