“Uncle Qian where are we going , we are travelling for weeks now .”
This young man was Gold now a fifteen years old teenager , Qian answer him :
“You will know soon enough , be patient we are near our destination .”
The young man seem a bit annoyed by this answer but the two continue deeper into the valley , the day after they encounter something else than rocks and trees in front of them carved in the mountain
a tomb like structure , the entrance was enormous .
On the side of the actual entrance was two oversized pillar the one on the right was carved in form of tiger holding a half-moon ,the other one was in form of a dragon with the sun inside one of claws. The young man was captivate by the surreal craftsmanship of the structure , Qian look at him before saying :
“I’m sorry but we don’t have the time to admire the view this time.”
The two continue to progress slowly toward the structure but the sheer size of it make it seem much closer that it is after a whole day they finally arrive in front of it. After they arrive in front of the entrance ,Qian get off his horse before making a sign to Gold to do the same .
He look at him before starting to talk :
“I’m sorry but you need to finish by your own , I know you have a lot of questions but don’t worry you will have answers really soon.”
The young man frown, the old man sign him to advance before taking the two horses and leaving.

Suddenly the entrance seem a lot ominous , he feel the tension build up inside after passing the entrance and a short corridor he arrive inside a huge hall supported by huge pillars similar to the one outside.
He look in front of him the only thing separating him from the hall was just a some stair ,he start to go down, the calm of the hall was oppressing. He take a step inside the hall and another slowly progressing through the hall.
After some time Gold notice something strange at each step he take some weird lines on the floor start to glow. He try to touch them but seeing that it’s doing nothing. He continue to walk the hall seem endless ,after looking back and seeing that the stair where now far he start to become anxious .
The desire to get out of here grow stronger , Gold sit down trying to calm down uncle Qian will not throw my in the middle of nowhere . After taking a deep breath he stand up look inside of the endless hall , he take a step deeper inside the strange line on the floor continue to illuminate as he progress he take another step but suddenly a piercing shattering noise resonate inside the hall suddenly the light from the glowing lines start to fade.
The young man start to panic maybe he was not a good idea to trust uncle Qian , the moment after an old man appear in front of him before grabbing the young man and teleporting the two into a small garden the old man throw the unconscious young man into the grass before making a pillow appear and sitting on it.
After some time Gold wake up, seeing the unfamiliar environment he start to panic, seeing the young man reaction the old man start to speak :

The young man seem even more confused now ,the old man continue :

Gold is even more confuse does the old man need him to open a dictionary and look for the definition of holder , the young man confuse reply :
“My name is Gold sir but I don’t understand your question , a holder is just someone holding something.”
The old man smile before starting to talk :
“What is he holding ?”
The young man try to understand the reply of the old man ,once his brain as finish processing the answer that instantly remind him the time where uncle Qian engage an elder from the star gazing sect to teach him “philosophy” his head hurt just thinking about it ,the old man answer give the same vibe , feeling a headache arrive he quickly reply :
“I don’t know sir, I’m sorry.”

The Blood Queen
The rain fell from the sky with ferocity and smashed into the pavement filling the air with the sound of a stampede. The noise was deafening as I struggled to stand up. The blood from my wound was covering the ground beneath me and I covered it with my hand as I pushed off the pavement. On my feet now I struggled to step towards the grass. Through the howling wind and pounding raindrops I could hear what sounded like a chant, calling me and drawing me towards the cliffs edge. "Vienna, my Queen, my blood Queen" I started to move my feet faster until I could run towards the edge. Only when I was at the edge did I turn and look back one last time at the castle behind me. I could see him standing on the balcony, he was screaming my name. I could just hear it over the rain. I unclipped my red cape and whispered goodbye to him. As he jumped off the balcony to run towards me I leaned backwards and let my body fall with the rushing water to the river far down below. I carried her whispers with me to the dark edge until they vanished.
